Thing, the RUDE Held
the Boston Rustlers Too
Cheaply.
BY BOHEMIAN

r r AVTSG beaten four Of the tough
fighting clubs in a row and hav-
Ing allowed them a total If eight
hit In ell those m II seems the
irony CT fate that Ruoe Marquard
should have his record XII ,ked into a
cooked hat by a team so lowly as tho
Rustlers; one whose only object In
touring the circuit Is to MI out the sche-
du!e. In two innings these same cellar
champs made ten hi,s-more than the
leading clubs made in a total Of four
fun gangs.
1t was the low station OF the Rustle-s,
however. that carried the RUDE to de-
feat. Had they been the Cubs or .he
Pirates Richard de Marquis would have
been credited with another notch In the
handle of his gun this morning and the
singing cf his praises would have gone
m%errily o.. SO cheaply did he. hold
them anil so eager vas he 70 hang up
q new mark that he lost his sense
OF proportion. and when the real test OF
strength arrived he found that his
energy mad been expended In trying for
tho strike out record and the effort had
Slapped him OF his muscular vitality.

! Plenty Of Time for Giants 10 Think.
with two DAYS OF rest before them the
Giants rave plenty of time for thought
and they would do well to use Il. They
nave a habit Of holding the weak teams
too cheanly and II may he that this
unexpected defeat will prove a blessing
In disguise. One afternoon last week
McGraw told the players that their only
weakness was a disposition Ia take the
result Of mportant games FOR grant
ed. You've ~. To get out there and
aght livery minute" he told them. 'or
you'll nnd yourselves slipping up on the
tailenders."
Five or six separate instances can be
pointed out where the Gllnts tossed
off this last game with the Rustlers
and there are so nan offenders that
It seems a little unjust to pick out the
leaders. Fletcher's unfortunate error
In the eighth inning was one OF the con-
~trlbutlng factors to the Boston victory,
hut he should not be blamed as a bobbls
like that IL liable 10 occur at any time
The fact that he made 1t IN a pinch
only a~c.entuates Il. There were tive
runs in and two on bases when Brldwell
slapped the grounder to Fletcher and II
looked Ike a chance for a double play,
He fumbled. and tho bases were full
with none out. The trouble then start
ed. Had that man been retired the
Rustlers YOU never have tied the
score.
Most Disastrous Play OF Game.
The most disastrous play OF the game
however, was made by Snodgrass and
Doyle or Fletcher. II would tie difficult
to decide who was to blame, but the
bobble occurred in the tenth inning
when the Rustiers really won. With ont

| into deep left centre. Snodgrass heldec
the ball nicely and Jackson had stopped
at second. but in relaylng the ball tc
Fletcher and Doyle, Who had run GU

and Jackson made a dash for third
That forced the infeld to play in close
