CONDITION AND LUCK
WILL DECIDE REMNANT
RACE, SAYS FRED CLARKE

billion Of pitching by four men than
that displayed by Mathewson. Adams.
Marquard and Cammitx. Think Of It.
only seven runs were made In both
games! That 10 getting pitching down
to a fine point. II was tough on
Mathewson to lose such a we'll pitched
game. but Il wa no tougher than II
was on Camnits to lose the last one.
"when three teams are 80 close TO-
can change the standing" ADDED
Clarke. 1T would be foolhardy for me
to say who I thought would win. I
have no moro idea than you have.
Luck Is going TO play an important
factor and the team that gsts the
breaks will some out on top"
Charley Herxo0, known 10 his
team mates as the CdnteIoapo KID,
,oow a long distance c~hamptowshtp
for hard luck IN the doubie-ksdder
pith the Pirates. Not only Uas No
robbed Of q three bdser on three
disttwct occasions, but to mako 70
worse No dropped an easy fous ~
that ultimately resulted IN the
Pirates pWttiM0 over the rvn that
oevs the lead N fhs fret game.
While Matty was defeated in tho
opening pitching battle with Adams. the
fans were % Impressed with his won.
derful work that they forgot their old
question Of "Is he going backr" Never
in his life did Big Six pitch Q more
mastsrful game Of ball. Unfortunately
the Giants failed to hit behind him and
his beautiful work all went for naught.
The Pirates made one of the big fellow
to which they were entitled. but the
other came a. the result of an error.
In these days OF the cork centre
pitchers battles are rare. but McGrav
and Clarke staged two yesterday tina
were masterpieces. Try and think o.
the two heaviest hitting teams In th'
league making . total OF seven runs Il
two games n the wonderful work o
the four pitchers can be appreciated
While II vas tough for Matty to los
In the nrst II was also tough for Cam
nits TO get trimmed In the second.
1t mas been suggested that Mayo
Gaynor extend to Bill Dahlen the key I
the city Of New FORK and let him 20 q
far as he likes. Those dear oil
SuperbAs proved . real brother In nee
by taking that fall out of the Cub.
McGraw 10 so grateful to Dahlen this
he has offered to Eive him the service
OF CheTley foust WITHOUT 10 mucn ~
player In exchange.

his wonderful catches In the outfeld.

Of his manhood studying theology. b
he stopped OF temporarily to grab
