UP TO MATTY
TO LAND THE
FINAL PUNCH
With Red Sox Keeling, Mathew
son Must Put Over
Haymaker
WOOD TO GIVE BATTLE
FOR THE SQX LIVES
Only Once Before Has Modern
Series Gone Eight
Games

BOSTON. Mass, Oct. 16.--Seven
days OF most fiercely contested base
ball with the championship OF the
world at stake has brought. the strug-
gle all square up TO the eighth game
10 be played here today.
Never before has a modern worlds
series been forced into eight games
In such a spectacular manner as has
tins. In 1908, IL is true, the Pitts
burgh and Boston teams struggled for
eight games. but there was no tic
game TO cause IT,.
At that time Boston won the last
fouI games In row. The Red Sox
are taking this as an omen OF their
success for they say history repeats
itself
II looked like Joe Wood for Bos-
ton again today with Mathewson op-
posing him. II this Is the way the
batteries are announced, there is lit
tie doubt but that Hugh Bedient will
be warming up In the Red Sox corner
IN the early inning of the game to
take Woods place in case the Smoke
Boy should show any sign OF falter-
Ing.
If Mathewson is announced for
New. York, Rube Marquard will be on
deck, ready TO jump into the breach
IL Matty decides that he Is not equal
to the task.
This same opposition was picked
for the game yesterday but fell
through at the last moment when
Matty decided that he didn't have
the stun and retired from the warm
ing up process before the game be-
gan. He was ready to flll in during
the game, however, had Tesreau
showed signs OF going all to pieces.
The Red Sox did their best yes-
terday to put Tesrean TO rout and
force Mathewson TO pitch few IN
nings Had they been able to do this
Matty would be out OF the running
today and the winning OF the series
would De up to Rube Marquard.
u Joe Wood fails to stick. as he
failed 10 yesterday. young Bedient
may get a chance TO. carry of the
worlds series hero honors. IN he
can step In and win the final game
after the Red Sox idol has fallen and
after he has already pitched the best
game of the series from the Red Sox
point OF view, 1t will be hard to keep
fro mhim the hero role.
II was known this morning that the
attendance at this afternoons game
was likely TO break all records. but
il was thought that there would be
lack OF Boston spirit. The Royal
Rooters, an organized Boston asso-
citation with band that reyelled in
the famous tune "Tessie," had been
ehabbily treated yesterday by the
Red Sox management and this rather
dampened the spirit.

mayor did not read his speech. He
told the lodge members how TO be

coal situation.

Why He Was = nsuoker.v

William E. Mason of Chicago, at a
banquet given to lawyers and poll
5icians. was called upon for a story
and told the following:
"A well-known Illinois politician
was speaking at the same banquet
with a governor of New Jersey some
years ago. The Jersey governor went
into exhaustive figures as to the
wealth, agricultural and manufactur-
ing resources of his own state. In
TACT, he seemed to lack terminal facil-
tiles, for he talked about forty min
utes.
Before he sat down he said: 4 am
TO be followed by a s1lver-tongued or
ator from Illinois, and I hope before
he sits down he will tell US why they
are called Suckers"
Our friend from Illinois said:
.Mr. Toastmaster, when I heard the
description of the agricultural prod
acts of New Jersey I was almost
ashamed to come from the corn belt of
Illinois, and when he told us of his
states manufa ctures, it made Illinois
ook small, but I noticed, Mr.. Toast
master, that you and the gentlemen
about you seemed incredulous-in
iact, I could tell by your expression
that you did not believe a word he
said. l want to say to the governor
Of New Jersey that believe every
word he said, a d that is the reason
[ am called a sucker"
