Nobody among the Giants wanted to ex tend any coueratulations after .ty game The boys all felt that ,hat had kicked away ball gam and the championship of the world after hayine had it Nou twice. and they had
 One Of the greatest pitchers the game has ever known. Nathea sou. pitched his heart ou' To Win that game. because ho folt that it mght he the last chance he would eteI have to star, in worlds series He could not have done better Nobody could. and. after he had th, game twice won. if was tough ior him to drop tt on errors de hot blame Suoderass for the los, Of the game treause of the error he made iu the tenth mu.u-. and neither do rhe players. although some of the men in th, first burst ot disappointment were inclined to mention it to him as he came 10 the bench. Most of them We're sorrg for him, because he felt il nor. k,only than any of Us.
 Snoderass came 10 The bench aft,. the game and picked up his blazyr He did not speak 10 anyone; h, acted as if h. thought that he Wa criminal. and rhen he walked or' the field alone. ! rodc back 10 the hotel in the same taXicah with hin and there were tears in his eycs He did not speak 10 either "Josh" Devore. who was in the cab. or me, until We gor almost back to the hotel Then he said:
 Boys. | lost the championship for you"
 Neither Josh" nor felt gallct upon to say anything. because he really had. and there vas no usr in trying to deny it. Ten chances 10 one he will read some simiIa. comments i'll the papers. if he cares jo read them. So "Josh" and just naturally kept quiet. and. il silence means assent SnoIgras, knew that We admitted he had los it. Two or three times Josh" start ed 10 break out and tell him so. because he was terribly sore over it, but he took one look al Snod grass and quit He was the mosl dejected-looRing person have eyer seen.
 Snodgrass has had bad luck all through the series Other men hage made errors and other men hay, made mistakes. but he has been un- fortunate in making them when they did the most damage You have to hand it to Snodsrass for picking the spots. and he selected d bird on the last day. McGraw did not have word to say to him about the error in the tenth inning. but he hal d whole lot to tell Snodsrass abtu. missing Stahrs fly in the seventh. when the Boston club scored its first run, and the one which made the extra inning necessary. That was the real break in the gamc.
 Mathewson had worked masterrul ly up to the seventh iuring wilh- out being scored upon, and one man was out when StahI cane to tue bat, None of us. on the bench. considered him a dangerous batter and, for practically th" first time in the game, the tension relaxed. Stahl raised an easy fly bacF of sec ond base. and We all felt that tEis would make two outs and that an other inning had been Weathcred But both Fletcher and Snodgrass were going after the ball ana both were hesitatng. That i5 storm warning among ball players; field CTS must decide quickly and ore take the ball Then we saw that neither one could get it. aHd the ball fell safe. It is superstition as old as baseball that when an easy out is lost il will result in trouble We smelled trouble in the air. but after Cady flied to Fletcher there was another spell of relief.
 Stahl lifted Bedent, the next bat ter, out of the game and sent Hen riksen to hit for him. We on the bench figured that everything would work out all right after Matty had two strikes on him Then the youngster made good and smash ed the ball over third base and to left field. It was a clean and posi-
