ns Victory Of Yesterday Again Gives Series Doubtful Outlook
RESULT OF SERIES SEEMS
TO BE AGAIN IN DOUBT
Yesterdays Win Gives Giants an Outside
Chance to Finish in Front Wood
Likely to Be the Problem.

Snodgrass. Both are good fielders. but
they look lamentably weak with the stick,
and a weak-hitting outtield does not be-
long on a championship team. But Nc
Graw is a manager who appreciates his
players efforts His team has won two
remnants in a row. and he is we'll salts
fled with anything his players may do in
the worlds series. For this very reason
he refused to be moved by the criticism
for leaving Fletcher in the game when he
went SO poorly. He figures that to take
him o1t of the game would prove SO
humiliating that Fletcher's usefulness
would be thing OF the past, so he figured
ahead and allowed Fletcher TO continue in
the SERIES
Manager Griffith of the Nationals. who
witnessed yesterdays game. announced
officially this afternoon that his team
would train at Charlottesville again next
spring. 1t is not unlikely, however. that
Griffith will take his team to French LICK
Springs. Ind. week previous to report
ing at the Virginia college town.
Outfielder Roy Moran. who had a brief
trial with the Nationals this fall. will
likely be sold to Montreal before long.
President Lichtenstein of that club had a
long talk with Griffith this morning
anent the securing of Moran. and as Crit
fifth has no intention of carrying the for
mer Chattanooga player, Montreal is apt
to get him. Moran is a good fielder and
ability, and 1t is this which Griffith needs
and which he will try to instill.
Harry Hooper continues to play SPLEEN
did ball. He hit Marquard hard yester-
day, though he is supposed to be weak
against left-handed pitchers. Incidentally
he made a throw from right field to sec
ond which cut Murray down when he
tried to stretch his hit into right into a
two-bagger in the third inning, which was
! a corker. On another occasion Hooper
figured in double play. Devore was on
first when Doyle hit a long fly to right.
Wagner and Yerkes went through all
|, kinds of motions to lead Devore. who
was running. to believe that the ball was
somewhere in the infield. The result was
that Hooper had no trouble doubling the
little Giant up at first.
and Tesreau will hook up for the third
time for the series today. Both have had
the same amount of rest and should be at
their best. Wood. of course has been
very successful against the Giants, but
the fact must not be overlooked that
Tesreau has been close behind him. The
chances are If both these twirlers are
right that the game today will be another
pitchers battle. On what the pitchers
have shown Wood seems to be the only
one of Stahl's staff who can be relied
upon. Bedient, of course. pitched a good
game Saturday. but it is doubtful If he
can repeat, though it is sure thing that
he will be asked to pitch the final game
Wednesday if the Giants should win to-
day.
Had the support Of the New York
pitchers been what it should every
one of them would have had brilliant
record in this series. There has been no
fault to find with the pitchers McGraw
has used. Mathewson has been brilliant.
though he has not won a game. and Mar
guard has upset all calculations by win
ming the only two games the Giants have
to their credit. Tesreau worked we'll
enough to win, but handicapped by
being pftted against Wood, yet his work
was good. and with better support he
could not possibly have had anything
worse than an even break
