todav than ever before In an import
ant game. cady hit the FIRST ball
pitched to him for an easy pop to
Fletcher, and "Bix Six seemed to
be easv sailing. Stahl called for young
Henricksen and sent him to bat In
place of Hugh Bedient, the young
pitcher who took a decision over Ma
thewson in one game Of the series last
week, and whom was again giving the
Giants a strong argument.
Pinch Hitter Raps Ball.
Henricksen had never faced Ma
thewson before, and is not considered
u desperately hard hitter under or
binary circumstances A youngster
facing the old master for the first
time Is generally regarded as handi-.
capped to some extent especially TX
Mathewson Ia fully extended, as he
was today. He quickly got two strikes
ON the Warham lad, then put two balls
across. He figured that IL Henrtcksen
hit the next one at all he would MT
!, to left and give Murray q chance
to throw Stahl out at the plate. but
as Henricksen raped the ball. a pun
of dust arose from the third-base bag
AS the drive licked the canvas. and
then the ball sped away down the iert
field foul line to the only place where
Murray could not get.
Stahl scored and Wagner took
third. Hooper hit the first ball offer-
ed him for fly to Snodgrass. and the
inning was over. All of Mathewson q
magnificent work through the earlier
innings now counted for nothing.
smoky Joe" wood. who bad been
kept warmed up by Stahi for just this
contingency, entered the box as the
Giants opened the eighth. and the
boy who was batted so hard in the
FIST inning by the Giants the day
before seemed TO have some of his
famous stuff"
Engie Hits FOR Two bags.
In the Giants end Of the tenth,
after Wood had touched out Snod-
grass. Jack Murray smashed a line
drive into the left field bleachers for
two bases, and Fred Merkle followed
him with q double to center. giving
the Giants another one run lead. and.
apparently the game. Stahl played
his last card as the Sox went into
the tenth, withdrawing Joe Wood. and
send up Clyde Engie. the former Yam
kee. as a pinch hitter. Engie lifted
high fly In deep 1eft-center. and
Snodgrass went over and under the
bail, and stood waiting for II To fall.
II seemed an easy chance. but they
all look easy from the stands The
center fielder had the ball In his
hands, then dropped it. and Engie
pulled up safe at second.
Immediately afterwards, .Snod-
grass made 4 fine running catch OF
Hooper's dangerous looking fly.
Yerkes walked and this brought iris
Speaker, the smuggling Texan. to hat.
Speaker raised short foul pop. back
Of the first base line. and over about
midway between firsg and the plate
Meyers tore OF his mask and started
after the bail. which would have been
an easy out for Merkie. and Matty
hurried across from the box. Merkle
seemed to make IA late start, and the
general result was that no one got
the foul. Speaker then singled To
rig6t, scoring Engie, Yerkes taking
third. and Speaker reaching second
on pevore's throw to the plate. Lewis
walked. filling the bases, and Mathew
son seemed very tired. He gave Duffy
four balls In succession. He motioned
to hts outfield tn move over toward
right for Larry Gardner. and pitched
a couple Of called balls to larry.
On the next ball, Gardner raised a
long fly 10 Josh Devore and yerkes
scored with ease after the catch. The
game was over.
Small Crowd Sees Game.
Perhaps no team ever won a
worlds championship st such II cost
as the Boston Red Sex, or rather the
Boston Red Sox management. The
smallest crowd of tho series saw the
game today. There being great
spIotches Of vacancy in the hleachers
and the stands. The treatment of
the Royal Rooters by the local man
agement, which failed to reserve seats
Yesterday for the body OF fans who
have been following the Sox through
out the fight, caused a general boy
colt on the game. and lost the man
agement most of the fat gate IL had
anticipated.
The failure nf stahl te start Joe
Wood last Monday in New York. ana
make desperate effort to finish the
series then and there. has done In
estimable damage TO the game here.
For IN addition to jeopardtzing the
championship. II has given rise to
much criticism OF the eupidity OF the
management.
As soon as Yerkes scored today
McGraw trotted over to Stahf and
extended his congratulations.
The Giants left for New York eariy
this evening. and most of them viii
leave New York Immediately for
their homes in the Middle West. They
were hewailing their hard luck. but
the least east dowH was Mathewson,
veteran II thirteen years OF good, bad
and Indifferent luck on the diamond

a hunting trim MS soon as he gets
