LAuDs PITCHING OF MArHEwsoa
sy DILL cARnrsAN.

Boston. Oct Eve got to McGraw
with Bedient, pitcher who Is seeing his
nrst years service on a major league
club. Doubtless the New York manager
figured the game as good as won when
the youngster gave the first man that
faced him a base on balls.
But he doesn't know Bedient as well
az his teammates do. Nor did he know
how much Bedient knew about Bedient.
Bedient is unquestionably the greatest
pitcher that came into the major league
last spring. / will go further and say
he is the best young pitcher in the two
big leagues. Next year he viii be even
better
Bedient has fast ball with a jump on
TIA jump upward that forces the op-
ponents TO pop up easy fly balls. II you
tabulate the game he won from the
Giants you will find that Of the twenty
seven men put out by our side no less
than twenty-three of them went out on
flies and pop flies and fouls What IL
equally remarkable is the fact that the
Giants only hit four balls on the ground
in the entire game. just think of that.
And the Giants made three hits. maybe
four. according to how McCormick's
drive to Gardner is scored.
Bcdient .Had somethinx..
When you see a team knocking up
pop flies all the time you may know that
the pitcher has something on the ball.
The exhibition of Bedient against the
Giants was one OF the best features OF
its kind / have ever seen. There was
no sensational fielding that cut on base
hits Every ny was easy except per-
haps one that Speaker had to run for.
Most of them were high pops that the
outfelders. especially Hooper. had only
TO take a few steps to ba under.
One reason why Bedfent was so effec-
tive against McGraw's men was his very
deceptive delivery. He winds up very
slowly. but when his arm straightens out
for delivering the ball IL etraishtens out
like fash The ball Is on top OF the
batter before he realizes IL.
The Giants simply were helpless in
his hands. Bedient has the utmost con-
fidence in himself. He was easily the
coolest member of our team in to-day's
game, and that is saying lot. for our
men are coolheaded. and / have never
seen them ratified:
When. early in the game. Bedient ap-
peared somewhat wild Stahl walked over
to the box several times and asked the
| pitcher il he thought he had the proper
control. Bedient told Stahl every time
| not TO worry: that he had the stun and
could get them over whenever he wanted
to. After the opening OF the third inning
| Stahl did not have further occasion TO
| visit the neighborhood Of the box. unless
il was to warn Bedient against certain
batter who was coming up.
Good Word for Matty.
But Mathewson's exhibition was beau
| tiful to watch He was in his old form
, Not a pass did he issue and not q hit
did he allow after the third inning. But
4 Z,
! We now have the Giants three to one,
and II is a brave man that will bet his
money on the New York team We can
| come back with Wood on Monday II We
\ want 10 wind the series up They may
pitch Marquard against him If they so
desire. but they will find that We can
| beat him next time. / believe that any
one OF our FIVE regular pitchers can go
in and clean up the Giants next Mon
l day
