Boston. Nass.~ Oct l0.-In the INST
place want to sivs Marquad credit
for pitching grand game Of ball. The
Rube had splendid control and had
everything" az the baseball expression
goes. We were absolutely unable to
connect with his delivery for more than
one hit an inning. until just At the close
Of the game when we began to pound
him heavily. This was In the ninth
in9ing.
Aersos gets credit for q putout on
Gardner in this inning. but Speaker, who
was coaching from the third base box.
claimed. as does Gardner himself. that
Hersog dropped the ball a. he tagged
Gardner. but recovered 20 quickly that
the umpire did not see the error, 20 our
chances were all but killed, as II was
two out and . man on first. Stahl sent
Henricksen In to run for him and Cady
went to bat He drove an awful clout
to right that looked good for winning
the game right then and there, but De-
wore made great running catch Of II
when none of US believed he would be
able to get anywhere near the ball.
Rube Makes Great Play.
Marquad may be said to have saved
his own game when he knocked down
Stahrs rap and got Gardner at third. II
was q quick play and he executed II
perfectly. The fact that Herzog dropped
the throw as Speaker claims does not
detract from Marquad's performance.
Now, Buck .O'Brien was there with the
goods. too. He pitched an exceptionally
good game. II you will glance at the
score you will see We made eight hits
against Marquard while the Giants only
got six hits OF O'Brien in the eight in
ninGs he pitched. Fortunately for them
they were able to lead of with two
bagEers in the two innings they made
runs. In the first case II was Murray.
who IL batting like a fiend. that drove
the ball between Hooper and Speaker
for two bases in the second inning. A
sacrifice put him on third and he scored
on Herzog's long ny to Speaker. There
was a chance for Spoke" to get him At
the plate. In the second case II was
Herzog who led of with a two-bagger
In the fifth. The hit was a solid smash
that bounded of the left field fence and
got by Lewis. Meyers did not attempt
to sacrifice but tried to hit out. but the
best he could do was TO make good with
a single to right and Herzog scored.
This fifth inning was O'Brien's worst.
The others were almost perfect eIhibi-
tions of pitching.
The game was almost devoid of SEN
sational plays. The chances for the
most part were easy ones. Murray
pulled on a circus catch of wagner. and
this with Devore's play already men
toned were the best.
Blessed with Luck.
For the first time In the series we
were blessed with a bit of luck when
Stahl pulled down Doyle's hot drive In
the third There was q man on second
at the time and IL the hall had gone a
little to one side 1t would have been
good for three bases and would have
easily have scored the man on first I
must mention a good play of Herzog in
the eighth when he picked up Yerkes'
grounder away back of third and with
a long. accurate throw just nipped Steve
at first.
Now the series stands even. Never
have three games been more hard
fought. The finish Of the third game
was as exciting as the finish of the first
game on the Polo Grounds. except in the
first instance IL was the Giants who
were on the anxious seat. believe
every man on the New York team gave
the game up for lost when Cady cracked
out that terrific drive to right-the one
Devore made such q good catch of.
The result of the games would seem to
show that the two teams are very even
ly matched. but want to say that be-
lieve the series will go to our side in
spite of the fact that We cannot win
four straight. We came SO near win
ming today that there could have been
no fun in II for the other side. We are
started again and will go better from
now on.
We will probably have Joe Wood in
the box in the next game at New York
and l suppose we will face Tesreau.
None of our fellows think he can beat
