Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-10-13

Old not go into the series with the conf
dence that is necessary. and in no game
nave they displayed the intelligence with
which they have been credited as a ball
team.
1t is really wonderful that McGraw has
won two pennants in row. He has an
Cutneld that must cause him a lot of
worry and which in the series has been
of little. if any, help to his team. 1t is.
indeed, reflection upon the other teams
IN the National League to have a team
OF the Giants strength win the PEN
nant, and most remarkable compliment
to McGraw. To win with his team proves
himself AM extraordinary leader and a
Strategist.
One thing that the series has proven is
that Boston has one Of the most promis-
ing young catchers in the country in
Cady. 1t is rather trying thing for a
young catcher to ofiiciate in "a ma
Jor!ty OF the games of a worlds Sc
ries, and if he had fallen down he would
not have been to blame. But Cady made
good with both feet. He caught three
elegant games, and has all the earmarks
OF becoming star of the first water.
He not only has lot of natural ability,
but he seems capable of directing a
game from behind the bat and helping
out his pitchers.
Mathewson has pitched nineteen innings
against Boston and has not allowed a
base on balls. This is one of the best
exhibitions of control that any pitcher
, can boast of. Matty's control does not
merely mean his ability to get the ball
over The plate. but he works the corners
and pitches inteligently against every
man wno faces him. something he could
not do II he could not put the ball eX-
actiy where he wants to.
Snodgrass of the Giants has a penchant
for getting himself disliked In the series
last year he was hooted for his action
in trying TO spike Baker. and today he
pulled trick which, if IL had been done
while the game was in progress should
have warranted his expulsion. While
the teams were practicing some of the
boys and men who We're standing behind
the barrier in right centerfield would run
out and pick up the balls that happened
to DE hit that way and keep them for
souvenirs.
None Of the other players complained
of this piifering, but when Snodgrass 90
out in the field he chased for 4 ball
which several boys were after and finally
beat them TO il. Quick as a flash he
whir.ed and threw the ball at the re-
treating boys. and up went a howl of
protest from the stands in which orer
$4,000 people We're seated. All during the
game he was the victim of boots and
jeers, and nothing pleased the crowd
more than when he failed at the bat.
A more miserable day for a ball game
cannot be imagined. When the time for
calling the same rolled around a heavy
fog hung over the field and it was absO-
lutely impossible 10 see more than a
glimpse OF the Outfelders from the stand
To add to the unpleasantness, a thicl,
mist falling which threatened Ia
turn into driZzle at any moment But
the game was started and by the third in
ming the fog lifted and 1t was fairly light
by the time the game was nearly over
The national commission intended play
ing the game today. and instructed its
unlpires that even if 1t rained after the
game was started it was to be finished as
long there was the slightest possibility
10 continue play.
Today's attendance was the largest II
has been here. There We're $685., paid
| admissions. The total receipts were s63.-
201.
Boston either is a much stronger team
than il proved itself to he in the games
Ii played against Washington last season
or it has played far ahead of its normal
gait against the Giants. On what the team
| showed during the season it was good
enough to win the pannant because of its
good luck in not having any OF its i'm
