SAySSEVENTEEN
O0WNE0 MATTY
Declares Great Pitcher Could
Not Defeat Both
Clubs.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

BOSTON, yet. 11.-There is Dut
one answer to the most dramatic,
heart-tearing worlds series ever
played. Mathewson, the central fg-
ure Of the swirling scene, could beat
the Red sox unaided, but he was
powerless before the combined as
sault Of the Red Sox and the Giants.
Briefly. pitching with all the wonder
Of his combined brain, heart, and
arm, he was unequal to the task of
beating both clubs. He was never
greater in his career, but there is no
man that ever lived who is great
enough to beat seventeen.
Fought Back Red Sox.
Three times he stood and fought
back the Red Sox rush. He carried
them into two extra session rounds in
spite Of his support. not through t.
In these three contests he held his
rivals to two earned runs while eight
But the answer comes herein the
three games eleven runs were piled
against him and OF these nine were pre-
sented Boston through the blear-eyed
support Of his own henchmen. Backed
UP as he should have been, and count
ing only the earned runs made by both
contestants. his three games should
have resulted SO: ii. and 2-l. with two
victories and a drawn fight In place Of
two defeats and draw.
Take that last stand by Mathewson,
where, working the deciding battle after
the frenzy of those first seven games.
he came back with the greatest pitch
ing he has shown this year-pitching
he has never surpassed when In his
prime. He had a one-rnn lead to the
seventh when Stahl popped short fly
between Snodgrass and Murray which
should have been eaten alive. but which
was allowed to drop safely for hit.
Tied Up the Score.
A double followed on from Henrick-
sens timely bat, and the score was tied.
But he still had an even fight, and
when the redoubtable Murray tore a
double from Wood in the tenth and
Markle drove him home It seemed as II
Fate at last had turned his way. won
over by his valiant battle against such
unbeatable odds.

lifted a short easy foul fly within six
feet of first. Merkle, apparently still In
a trance from the fatal mum In center,
failed to rush for the ball, which should
have been one of the easiest outs Of
the game, and II futtered to earth.
Between these two plays the extra
900 which had almost disappeared
into Giant pockets, iuttered out and
over to Boston. For Speaker, givcr
life, slashed a hit and before the rally
ended Mathewson had lost another
fight.
