GIANTS WILL EIGHT
 T0
In Spite of Present Odds, MeGraw Feels That the Series is Yet to se Decided.

K. for their last chance to prevent world series honors slipping once and for all out of their hands and into the clutch es of the Red Sox, the New York Gi- ants made the most of their opportuni- ty for rest today.
 While the National league champions recognize fully the Gsadvantageous po- sition they occupy. with the series standing three to one in favor of their Boston rivals, who need only one game more to clinch the series, not man of the Giants would admit tonight that he had lost hope To the contra ", all were bubbling over with Hast ditch" excitement.
 John J. McGraw, the manager of the Giants, counts on his men to show in this crisis the fighting form they dis played several times during the league season, when their rivals for pennant honors had them forced into a corner.
 Once more the team is forced down to the last stand" said McGraw, land 1 am certain the men will put up fight that will make their friends proud of them"
 The intense interst with which the series has been followed all through it's sensational course has abated some what among the Giants followers with the dashing on Saturday of their hope that their favorites would win the game in Boston, and thus even up the series. Despite this, and in the fact of the somewhat general conviction that the Bostons had "got the jump l and were in more than a fair way to win out indications tonight were that another capacity crowd would be on hand to witness tomorrow's game at the Polo Grounds.
 Will Probably Pitch Marauard. l The arrival hour of the Red Sox from 1 Boston tonight was a late one, and ] neither Manager Jake Stahl nor Mo Graw was more communicative than usual regarding the selection of box men for the crucial battle. Marquard however, looked to be the logical se- lection of the New York side, he hav- ing had good rest since he scored l the only victory over Boston which his club has to it's credit. The probabilities 1 pointed to Stahl pitching Collins, his 1 left handed star, who made such an excellent showing la the tie game of last Wednesday. Stahl would then, it was argued, be in a superior strateg- ical position, counting on Collins to turn the trick and end the series, fail ing which outcome, Wood, with an additional days rest, would still be available to be sent back at the Gi . ants on Tuesday
