The rockets, roman candles and the giddy, racy wheels With patriotic zeal began to brag Of how they'd leap and bang and fizz and flare and whirl, and all United to deride the silent flag. But when the day was done the crackers lay in scattered snreds, And bits of wheel were clinging to the trees. The rocket sticks were lying prone, but high above the scene The little flag still frolicked with the breeze.

is termed an outside hitter. That Is

plate. Athletic far say that he de-
l~iberately allowed the ball to hit him.
Klein, a National League umpire, would
not give the Giants the worst of it on
such a close decision and allowed Snod-
grass to take first.
Now, on the American League
grounds in Philadelphia, it is main
tanned that in the first place Lord
would nave been able to take that long
foul, which fell into the New York
stand. Also, with Connolly or Dineen
umpiring, S%nodgrass might not have

If Matty Hadn't Pushed Merkle
Against Collins There Would
Have Been a Score.

As an aftermath of the first big wave
of worlds series enthusiasm, on the
crest of which the Giants triumphant
ly rode to victory, Philadelphia a
are bouying up their hopes on an ed
dying swirl of ifs"
IF Is the big word on Philadelphia
fans lips today. Here are some of
them: If Lord had been sent up to
sacrifice with Bender on first and one
down, instead of forcing him at sec
ond, the Redskin might have scored.
In fact, it is certain he would have
crossed the plate on Oldring's smash
ing double. New York fans come back
with the counter opinion that Matty
would not have allowed Oldring to hit
the ball in such a critical 1uncture.
This shows their supreme faith in the
peerless big Six"
Another argument the Philadelphia
fans advance-those who saw the
game-is that had he game been
played at Philadelphia the result would
have been different. They argue, for
n thing, that Snodgrass would never
have and should never have been per-

doubles off Matty. Matty was feeding
Oldring on a low curve ball above the
knee, and the Rube appeared to relish
these dainty morsels, Besides his W
hefty two-sackers he was responsible
for another seething slam which De-
vore gathered in. On the other hand,
Lord was pie for Big Six every time he
came up. Lord eats up a fast ball, and
is not so successful against a curve
Iall pitcher. Matty twice famed the
Jumbo left fielder.
Eddie Collins cracked for an instant
under the terrific strain, and his mo-
mentary wobble was costly. 1t was
responsible for the first Giant run.
Eddie recovered the sphere and shot
it to Thomas to get the f1eet-footed
S%nodgrass. His throw was n bit wide.
Thomas, 1t is claimed. could have
touched him had he made a div at the
on%-rushing me and blocked his ca
reer, but he hesitated and was lost.
That was the jar that unbalanced the
smooth-running Athletic machine, and
that was the critical j%uncture, the main
issue where the game was won and
lost.

World Series Nuggets Just Dug Up

An accident to Rube would be a fear
full blow to New York.
New York Fan-Well begun is three
quarters done.
Athletic Fan-Yes, but he who laughs
las Il Ighs best.
New York Fan-Oh, well, a bird in
the HAND is worth two in the bush.
Athletic Fan-Even so, one swallow
does not make a season.
Just how closely the opposing pitch
ers studied out the batters and how de-
liberate were their movements on Sat-
nrday may be CLEANED from the fact
that the game went two hours and
twelve minutes to play eight and one
half innings. A long game. with a fair
amount of scoring, goes about one hour
and forty minutes. For the amount
OF scoring the game was a record
breaker.
Ty COBB says hat Matty used too
many curve balls in the first game and
that the strain is bound t. tall on his
arm. Ty is an American League
booster, of course.
Bender had Merkle on low balls. and
the Athletic pitcher boasts that Fred
will not do much hitting this series.
Il have heard that Devore is a great
base-runner, and there was one little
incident on Saturday that proved it.
Josh waited until Thomas gave ender
the signal before trying to steal, hug
cling the base closely all the time."-
Cobb.
Matty declares that early in the game
the Athletics were wise to his signals,
but the moment they switched it was
all off n they did not get another hit
after sixth. The Athletics are the
greatest signal reading team in the
game.

Hard luck for Bender.
In the grand stand on Saturday was
a blind a who came all the way
from Detroit to ~attend-not see-the
first game. BY some wonderful instinct
he. told with unerring celebrity and ac-
ecuracy the direction in which the ball
was hit the moment the crack of the
bat was heard. Rodgers, as he gave
his name, enjoyed the game immense
ly. He was one of a hundred guests
of a bet ii newspaper who made the
trip to see the entire series from the
far-off Michigan city.

enc TO RUDE Waddell in the game
