also had the outfielders in agony, for
1t did moi blow steadily, but came.
It seemed, in blasts of ever-increasing
velocity at intermittent intervals.
Christy Mathewson appealed tt the
National Commission today in behalf
of the worlds series players to find
out What disposition would be made
of the receipts for the fifth game,
which he figured the ball players
should have shared In because of the
tie game. Ban Johnson. president of
the American League and one of the
triumvirate composing the National
Commission. was not present: neither
was Catcher Carrigan, who was to
have represented Boston players.
Catcher Holic Cady, the popular ex-
Tiger, when seen before the game de-
clared he was positive that today's
battle would end it. Wood is in per-
feet f%ettle." said Cady, "and they will
not get every little break as they did
yesterday. I'm so sure that we'll win
today I've made arrangements to
have my trunk shipped tonight, and
I've already purchased my railroad
ticket for New York for tomorrow
afternoon. OF course I'll stop long
enorgh to accept my share of the
gate receipts"
Boston is wildly enthusiastic today,
even more 80 than New York has
been. The whole town is effervescing
and bubbling with excitement. Every
wagon and vehicle along the streets
n thoroughfares f1aunts the Red
Sox banners. Now and then a Giant
rooter with a blue banner comes
along and is the recipient of the
crowds condolences.
Red seems to be the fixed color for
the Boston club, with blue for the
Giants. The time will come when
every major league club will have its
color as well as nickname.
Hundreds of automobiles were
crowded into the parking place, a
large vacant lot opposite the grand
stand entrance, and their owners
stood in line as we'll as the So a week
clerk. The public's faith in the hon
esty of baseball and the integrity Of
the National Commission is the rock
on which baseball's foundation Is en-
trenched. Not one fan believed the
sluggish saffron-hued stream of COM
ment which pulled the clear blue tide
Yesterday at New York after the
game.
This rumor said the game had been
fixed.
To fix a baseball game with eigh-
teen In the game is utterly impos-
sible without some one discovering
the truth. Murder will out. The
powers that be in baseball know
enough not to slaughter the goose
that gives up the golden rocks.
Christy was told that the Ameri-
can and National leagues framed the
rules governing the series and the
National Commission simply enforced
them. Mathewson, who in~stigated the
demand for extra cash, remembered
the Giant Yankee series of two years
ago., when the players figured in the
first Ave games, n of which was a
draw. There is no danger of a strike
because both clubs put up $4,000
checks as guarantee that their re-
spective teams would finish the series.
Because of the wind 1t was considered
that q spitball pitcher would have a
hard time, and 1t was thought that
Mathewson would do the flinging for
New York.
With the wind in favor of the bat
ting 1t looked like a good prediction
to say there will be n or two hom-
ers before the game is owe

Iris Speaker drove one clean into
the centre field stand, a terrific jolt,
The Red Sox receded from the field
to keep out of the cool wind while
the Giants had their practise.
In the Boston clubhouse Manager
Stahl exhorted his men to go in and
wind it up.
Mathewson batted with the Giant
lineup in practise. Devore again
played right field with Murray in
left because of the sun.
1t was partly cloudy at 2 o'clock,
with wind blowing a gale.
The bleachers were packed, but
there were many seats vacant in the
grand stand when Wood and Ma
thewson warmed up.
AT the last momen hcGraw sent
Tesreau out TO warm up, as Mathew
sons arm is sore and he couldn't get
up steam.
Woods arm swung up and down
easily as he fabricated the hinges
in his right shoulder.
The last few stragglers after pho
tographs were chased from the field
and the game was on.
