Crafty Manager of Giants Sends
Fletcher to Sure "Death,"
and Ends Rally.
FOOLISH CHANCE AT BEST
Wasted Opportunities Count
Heaviest Against New York,
but Wood and Red Sox
Win on Merits.
BY Herbert.

John j. McGraw, manager Of the
Giants. staked his all on play in the
seventh inning Of the game at the Polo
Grounds yesterday, In which the Red
Sox beat the Giants by score OF to
1. 1t was a play that, in my opinion,
was III advised, even If 1t had turned
out to the advantage Of New York, as
the chance was far too desperate. with
the American League champions play
ing such a strong defensive game. Joe
Wood was under light bombardment.
Herzog had singled and scored from
first base on Fletcher's two Dagger
to right, and then McGraw played his
first card.
He sacrificed Tesreau, who had
finally settled down by striking out
four of the last six men to face him,
and sent Harry Mccormick to the bat
as a pinch hitter Mccormick did his
part by shooting little single through
the box, on which Yerkes made a
pretty stop back of second base.
Fletcher pulled up at third on the hit,
and then McGraw cast the die by send
ing him on to the plate. Yerfes. with
the ball in his hand. made an accurate
throw to Cady and Fletcher was
caught by a good eight feet. This put

promise OF bearing fruit, with the head

will be interested TO read McGraw's
own explanation of this play, but from
all appearances he and he alone was
responsible for the error Of judgment
which sent Fletcher to sure and sudden
death at the plate for the third out.
Apart from this the Giants did not

lack for opportunities, but neither Mey-
ers nor Merkle was able to deliver the
telling punch when the chances arose
In some respects the game was one OF
wasted opportunities on both sides, al
though the Giants suffered most from
their own weakness in this respect.
/ do not mean to imply by all this
that the Giants frittered away the
game, and 1t is my purpose to empha-
size that the Red Sox won a clean,
well played game on its merits. Joe
Wood is great pitcher He uses not
only his wonderful arm, which seems
to be made Of steel, but his head also,
and II Is wise head. With the speed
he develops his control is little short of
marvellous. He did not give a single
base on balls, struck out eight men,
and while he was found for nine hits
he managed to keep them scattered,
save in one inning, the luckless sew
enth.
With all credit to Wood, however, he
had Captain Wagner to thank on three
or four occasions for saving him from
what might have developed into a seri-
GUS bombardment. Wagner robbed at
least three New York players Of what
looked like sure hits, and his one error
under the circumstances was excusable.
The whole Boston team. by the way, is
strong defensive machine, and the
steadiness in this respect Is being felt
In the series.
Jake Stahl is now In a slightly
stronger strategic position than Nc
Graw, as Wood can come back on
Monday. with two days rest, whereas
If it rains in Boston this afternoon the
star pitcher can be saved until Tues
day. by which time he will surely
have regained his full strength.
The Giants must win in Boston to-
day to keep IL the running. Ray Col
Inns may be tried again, or Stahl may
send Buck O'Brien back. 1t would not
surprise me II McGraw used Tesreau,
who thrives on work; but the logical
choice would be Matty. holding Mar
Guard and Tesreau in reserve.
It seems a pity that Tesreau, pitch
ing so we'll as he has in two games,
should have been forced to the bench
on two occasions for the need OF i
pinch hitter. He has not suffered in
comparison with his great rival, and

The Giants showed more familiarity
with Woods curves yesterday than
in the first game. They not only made
nine hits, but they met many balls
cleanly and hard. which, called for the
best and strongest kind Of support,
and which was so freely given. Wood,
