BOTH MANAGERS ARE
FULL OF CONFIDENCE

BOSTON, October 1O.-In spite
of the fact that the Giants are
still a game behind In the worlds
series struggle. John J. McGraw,
manager Of the team, remains
optimistic over the outlook, and
expresses the belief that. the
eventual result will be to his
liking. What he particularly
liked In yesterdays game was the
gamenesS of the team In coming
from behind after the disheart-
eninE start. He said:
1--WE have stopped the Red SOx
ON their home grounds, and the
team Is we'll satisfied. We have
shown that the Giants are game,
and that xnmeness is going to
count u great deal more before
the series Is over"
Jake Stahl, the leader of the
Red SOx, expressed the opinion
that, with MathewsOn out Of the
way, the rest Of the series would
be less difficult for his men. APP
parcntly he regards Natty as the
backbone o. the Giants. He
said:
..The Red SOx have always felt
that Mathewson was the one man
they had to heat. ] think the
game yesterday, while 1t did not
end in n victory, shows that we
can hit the New York twirler,

New York Takes Lead.

Boston earned run in the fifth on
triple, and then there was a long lull in
Bostons scoring. But in the CEhth. luck
turned and New York forged to the front,
scoring three runs on some rather clever
stick work. Lewis, in left. started all the
trouble by muffing Snodgrass line drive.
Doyle quickly followed with a single, but
Becker, for whom the infield laid in ex-
pecting a sacrifice, tried to hit through,
with the result that Doyle was forced at
second.
Collins worked a long while on Murray,
but the latter finally hit into the seats
scored, while second and third were oc-
cupied, with but one out. Collins was
lifted at this stage. and Hall substituted.
He got rid of Merkle easily enough. but
Herzog proved Il tougher man, and when
he hit for double to left two more
runs came across. and the Giants We're
leading by single run.
But the lead was shOrt-lived, though, it
should have won the game.
Fletcher, who had been behaving badly
since the first inning. had to become
prominent again. and it was because of
his misplay that the score was tied in the
eighth. Mathewson got rid of Yerkes and
Speaker in this inning when Lewis drop
ped fly into the seats in left which
netted two bases. Gardner hit grounder
to Fletcher. and he allowed it to pass
through his legs with the result that
Lewis scored, and the score once more
was tied.
Neither side neared the plate in the
ninth. but in the tenth New York again
forged to the front. Merkle opened with
a triple. and after Wagner had made a
clever play on HerZog. without allowing
MerkIe to advance. Meyers was purposely
walked. and Mccormick, who was sent
TO hit for Fletcher. sent long sacrifice
fly to left which allowed Merkle to score.
That run looked good enough to win, but
it didn't, and again an error tied the
score in the last half of this inning.
After Yerkes had been retired On a
clever play by Wilson, who had taken
Meyers place, Speaker hit a long drive
which struck the center field fence. re-
bounded and had to be chased by Becker
in center. He finally got to the ball, re-
layed it to Fletcher. who threw to the
plate in plenty of time to nail Speaker,
but Wilson dropped the ball and the score
was tied once more. There was nothing
worth while doing in the eleventh, and
the game was called. The score:

Militia Ordered to Be Ready

When some semblance of order had
been obtained, some horsemen hurried
down into Beaver Dam Valley to
spread the news and get help. More
intrepid ones rode off toward Betty
Baker, where there is a railroad sta
tion and telegraph wire.
Word of the tragedy was slow in
getting to points from which help
could be asked, but the machinery of
the law once started worked quickly.
Governor Mann ordered the companies
of militia at Roanoke and Lynchbufg
to be ready to move to Hillsville if
their aid should be necessary. Police
detectives and volunteers from nearby
places took all possible means of trans
pOrtetion to get to Hilsville.
A Wild County
Late today Governor Mannn tele-
graphed to Jurge w. r. Staples of the
Roanoke corporation court to come to
Hillsville and take charge Of judicial
proceedings. Attorney General Will
Jams of the state of Virginia has also
been ordered to Hillsville. He and
Jurge Staples will meet at Pulaski to-
morrow and proceed together.
The place is awlzardly situated for
such an emergency as this. 1t is the
seat of Carroll County but 1t lies in
the Beaver Dam Valley four miles
from the top of Blue Ridge Mountains.
The country is rough. the roads are
bad, and with spring thaws they are
nearly impsssable. Illicit stills are
said to be many.
Aliens Dangerous Characters
Floyd Allen lives on one side of the

was accounted a brave man.
Floyd Aliens familiar boast was that

MINERS DETERMINED
NOT TO COMPROMISE
White Says Unless Concessions Are
Made They viii Cease Work April 1.

New York, March 1.-THE United
Mine Workers of America will refuse
to compromise a single demand which
they have made of the anthracite coal
operators, 1T their joint meeting to-
morrow, John P. White, president Of

proposition by the operators, that the

today that not only would the proposal
be rejected, but there would surely
be q general suspension Of work in
the anthracite fields on April 1 if the
miners demands for a twenty per cent
increase in wages, recognition Of the

other conditions were not wholly
complied with.
IF they make no concessions, ey-
cry Union hard-coal miner in Penn
sylvania will lay down his tools on

clared.

yield tomorrow, the matter of the Of
