good as his physical ability.
One PLAY Ruinad Giants

One Play Ruined Giants.
The one play that broke up the
Giants attack was the remarkable
stop Of McCormicks bullet like hit
by Yerkes and his perfect throw
that nailed Fletcher at the plate.
The whole game hung on that play.
If II had gone through, McGraw
would have been credited with hav-
ing staked his all on a chance and
won. AS it was. he took the plunge
and lost
With Fletcher on second and a
chance to tie the score, Harry Nc
Cormick was sent in as a pinch hit
ter for Tesreau. Harry landed
cleanly, but on account of the heavy
turf, the ball bounded a trfle slow
ly, and Yerkes ged to knock
1t down. Fletcher had started for
third with the crack Of the bat,
and as he turned third. Yerles
was still diving after the ball
Go on" yelled McGraw.
In a flash the New York mana
and risk the game on that play.
Herkes then made one more des-
perate reach for the ball. and came
up with It, 1t was two to one that
he would not make a perfect throw
to the plate. but he proved that he
was made of the right kind of stuff,
and shot the ball to Cady with the
accuracy of a rifle ball Fletcher
was out by several feet. More
over, he was so cleverly blocked off
from the plate that he couldn't have
got in with jimmy.
McGraw GambIed and Lost.
Many of the experts were in
clined to Criticise McGraw's judg-
ment for taking such a chance. but
II it had gone through he would
have been hailed as a great gem
eral.
Baseball is a game of chance.
The gamblers instinct Is often Of
more value to a team than ultra
conservatism, such as lost the game
for Boston two days ago,
The man who really put the
Giants out of the running was
Charley Wagner the wonderful
shortstop of the Red Sox. On three
occasions this remarkable fielder
ran back of second and dug up
grounders that looked sure hits His
arm was as true as a sling shot,
and each of the three runners was
out by an eyelash On a dry
ground all of these would have
gone for hits. That is why the
Giants feel that the fates conspired
against them In making that ex-
PLANTATION, they are not attempting
to detract from the work Of the
wonderful Wagner. He sized up
the situation and played according
~. The fact that he was aware of
the slow ground and judged the
speed Of the bounds on that basis
makes his work just as brilliant
Everybody "Plays Fair"
In one respect this series stands
out over all others 4 spirit of the
cleanest kind of sportsmanship BY

just as they do their own heroes.

~ OSTON, oct. 12.-With their
big gun temporarily spiked in
defeating the Giants yester-
day, Jake Stahl, Jimmy McAleer
and the rest Of the Red Sox-in
fact, all Boston-are in a dilemma
over the selection Of a twlrler to
meet Mathewson, the Old Master,
today.
Doubt as to Ray Collins. the
southpaw. is candidly expressed on
all sides.
Three days ago Collins. who was
expected to tear the Giants into
shreds, was sent in against the
New Workers and did not live to
tell the tale. Even McGraw's left
handed sharpshooters picked him
off with deadly accuracy.
The star Red Sox southpaw got
the worst mauling Of any pitcher
that has started since the war be-
gan 1t is not that the Red Sox
board Of strategy has lost faith in
Collins, but at this critical stage of
the fight they fear to take chances.
The slightest misstep in judg-
ment now may completely change
the complexion of the series and
put New York on top.
There Is no doubt but that the
Giants are in the stronger position
today, as they have Matty to lead
the fight
The Boston players were free to
admit this morning that Mathew
son is the hardest pitcher In the
world to beat, with the possible ex-
ception OF Joe Wood, the man who
rightly stands next to Bunker Hill
monument as the most important
thing in Boston.
Matty and Bedient.
With Collins, Hall and O'Brien
uncertain. the one man left for the
Red SoN to send forth as a standard
bearer is Hugh Bedient. a curve
ball pitcher who has been used
twice as an emergency man against
the Giants During the regular
season Bedient was one of the most
dependable pitchers of the Red Sox
stan.
Bedients control is uniformly
good, and his curve is always puz-
cling
This time the Giants have little
or no concern as to who is the Bos-
yA
fight their battle, and that Is suf-
ficient to them. In addition to that,
they realize they will not face the
formidable Wood
The smoke ball artist beat the
Giants cleanly and decisively AZ the
Polo grounds yesterday, and the
New York players know it, They
have no aIibi. They need none.
The Boston players are no
stronger in their praise of the work
of Wood than are the National
league champions. His terrific
speed on cloudy day was an abso-
lutte revelation to them; and though
every artihce known to McGraw
was brought into play Wood was
always master Of the situation.
The one silver lining to the cloud
of disappointment to New York is
that Wood was hit harder by the
Giants on his second out than on
his first.
Coming over on the train last
night. some Of the Giants told me
that they were inclined TO believe
that. with a faster field and a clear
day, they would have stood a bet
ter chance.
The lack Of light yesterday IA
vored Woods speed. and the heavy
ground made II possible for Wag-
ner and Yerkes to make stops Of
balls that on a fast ground would
have gone for safetes

ment figured so largely in the sue
cess of the Giants last year. Con-
ME Mack credits much of the Ath-
letics' prowess to the fleetness of
his players.
Scouts looking for material al
ways consider seriously the speed
of the player. Fair hitters who
shine on the bases and in the field
are given preference over good
hitters who lack speed.
When a slow runner reaches
first, two players are practically
eliminated from the attack-the
steal and the sacrifice. The steal
is off, as the slow man is easy for

The catcher d on tip toe, know
ing the runner is liable to pull
anything. Often, In wasting balls,
he gets his pitcher in hole.
With his fallaway slide the in
fielder realizes he will have trou-
BILE touching the runner, and often
does miss through this over
anxiety.

as impracticable, as nine times

him at second. This leaves the
hit and run as the only sensible
play.
On the other hand, let the fast

trouble. The trouble starts when
he steps into the batter's box, as
the infield is on edge, realizing
the ball must be handled clearly
to get him at first.
After he gets on trouble is
continued. If the pitcher has a
