WORLDS SERIES WILL PROBABLY
RUN OVER INTO NEXT WEEK
Red Sox Must Win Three Straight Games to
Settle Supremacy by Satur-
day Night.

in. On three or four occasions yesterday
he made apparently impossible plays in
the field and to these can be attributed
the fact that the Red Sox got tie.
That there Is no comparison between
the American League champions of this
year and those of last is plain to every
one who has witnessed the two games
that have been played. Had the Giants
been up against the Athletics instead OF
the SoX they would have been beaten off
in both games. Not that Boston is not
good team. but it should never be for
gotten that Connie Mack had an aggre
cation i'll the last worlds series which
was one of the greatest that ever stood
pitchers Stahl has but one. and there
was a lot of difference in the teams in
numerous other respects.
But from what the Giants have shown
one. might conclude that it. does not take
as strong a team as Mack had to turn
the trick this year. The Giants are only
n fair team. after ALL and one is forced
to give McGraw lot of credit for hav-
ing Won two pennants with it.
Murray, who was the weakest of all
the PLAYERS who took part i'm the series
last Year. seems destined to shine in
the present one. Murray does not look
like the same player he was last year.
He is not only fielding splendidly, but he
is hitting like fiend, and timely at that.
He and Herzog are right now the two
most dangerous hitters on McGraw's s
team, the box score Of yesterday $
game will plainly indicate.
In the hurried reports sent out during
Yesterdays game Speaker was credited
with having tied the score in the tenth
inning with home run, but such was not
the case. 1t was a tbree-bagger, followed
by an error, which made the play pos
sible.
But had the field been an open one
there would not have been any question
about it, Far out in centerteld a low
fence was built, behind which those who
could not find room in the stands could
stand. Speaker hit this on a line and the
bail rebounded far into left field. Becker
got it home in plenty Of time to retire
Speaker. but Wilson dropped the ball
when he should have retired his man by
yards.
A lot of bad blood cropped out as re-
suit of this hit. Speaker. it is charged
was interfercd with by Herzog when he
rounded third base. and this made the
play at the plate close. When the inning
was over it looked if Speaker and
Herzog would engage in fist fight. While
changing sides the two players passed
each other. Speaker took hold of HerzoS
and demonstrated with him for his action
in interfering, and at one time both drew
back as if to strike blow. Other play
eis. however, interfercd and there was no
trouble.
The erecting of temporary stands has
greatly reduced the playing field OH The
local grounds. Left field is very short
under present conditions and Il ground
rule of two bases any hit that went
into the stands was made necessary
AS it turned out, this proved a hardship
for the Giants, for every one of the
drives they put into the seats would have
been worth more than two bases on an
open field. There ":aS but one fly ball
dropped into this territory. and Lewis
accomplished this. Murray chased the
ball to the very edge Of the low fence
and in an effort to make the catch fell
! over the fence backward and into the
stand.
| For seven and half innings neither
| Mathewson or Collins walked man.
| which is a remarkable demonstration of
control. Hall, however. was not SO for
tunate. and in the two and half innings
| he was on the slab he passed four of
| the Giants.
| The fact that yesterdays game resulted
| in q tie was not a good thing for the
| players from financial point of view
| for il most likely means that the Satur-
! day game will be played here. and. of
| course th4 local park does not accom-
modate nearly as many as does the Polo
| Grounds. The players. of course share
| in the receipts of yesterdays game, but
| they had been hoping to get their part
| of the game which was originally sched-
uled for New York on Saturday.
