the first of the season the prospects
were the best the Baptists had had in

Gordon to score, II was thought that

was still diving after the ball.
Go on" yelled McGraw
In a flash the New York mana
ger had decided to take the chance
and risk the game on that play.
Yerkes then made one more des-
perate reach for the ball. and came
up with it. 1t was two to one that
ne 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 a jimmy.
McGraw Gambled and Lost.
Many Of the experts were in
clined to criticise McGraws tudg-
ment for taking such chance. but
if IT had gone through he would
have been hailed as great gen
eral.
Baseball is a game of chance.
The gamblers instinct is often of
more value to 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
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 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-
plana ton, they are not attempting
to detract from the work of the
wonderful Wagner. He sized up
the situation and played according
ly. The fact that he was aware of
the slow ground and judged the
speed of the bounds on that basis
makes ms NOIh just as Drllllant.

hrst game was far the better. In the

rltc speed as to make batting a matter

grounds yesterday. But the sneed
wasn't there.
Joe depended yesterday on his curve
ball in pinches, and by his very bold
ness crossed" the Giant batters fol
several innings.

game Friday will agree with me thai
toward the end we were hitting him
harder than he has been hit in the ma.
Jority of his games this year.
The Red Sox have no greater advan-
tage over us than they enioyed after
the opening game
We went to Boston before and fought
the Red Sox to standstill on their own
grounds.
What we have done we should re-
peat.
Wood Is Stumbling Block.
Wood is the only pitcher Stahl showed
us who puzzled US in the least He
has won two games for Boston He
will have to win as many more if we
are to be cheated in our aspirations.
do not think he can do this The first
game took the edge off him. He can
not come back with two days rest
Boston will be forced to use Wood
standing.
Once let US get out in front and there
Will be no stopping US.

Yerl1es pulled the headiest play of the
day, however, and one that hurt the
worst of all. 1t cut down Fletcher at
the plate with what we all believed was

enth, when Mccormick came over with
pinch poke. The ball shot righ'

How Yerkes ever got back where he
die l can't imagine. But he did and
cuffed down the ball besides. He knew
he didn't have a chance for the batter,
so he stalled bit in retrieving the ball,
which he rolled away from him. F1etch-
er had started with the rap. He hao
rounded third when Yerkes recovered
and looked certain Of scoring. Yerkes,
however, threw perfectly and nailed his
man.
