On It's grand eternal quest.

A Deep-Laid Plot.

1t must be admitted that although the
wise man IS not lind 10 the charms OF
the accomplished houSekeeper. the pretty
woman still commands more than her
share OF masculine admiration. This
story, attributed by the Washington Star
to Miss Amelia Bingham, shows how
one young man tried to WOO both beauty
and efficiency to his hearthstone.
Tie four GeTion girls were al good
looking; but the tnree younger ones
were exceedingly beautiful. Annie, the
eldest, however, easily made up in eff
Cheney and good sense what she lacked
in looks.
A young man, entirely eligible, called
on the glTls frequently, but seemed un-
able TO decide which 10 choose. So An
ME put on her thinking-cap; and one
evening when the young nan called, she
appeared with her pretty arms bare to
the elbow and her hands white with
flour.
"You must excuse my appearance"
she said. 81 have been working in the
kitchen all day. baked bread and pies
and cake this morning, and aiterward,
as the cook was i'll, prepared dinner"
my compliments II said the young
man. deeply impressed. Then, after a
moments thought, he added:
MISS Annie, there is question wish
TO ask you, and on your answer will de-
pend much of my lIie'S happiness"
"Yes ?" she said, with blush, while
she drew little nearer. "Yes2 What
IS il? ?"
Miss Annie, said the young man, in
deep, earnest tones, 81 am thinking Of
proposing to your sister Kate. Will you
make your home with us ?"

safely In check until the ninth. when
he momentarily wavered,, but his
club pulled him through. Marquard
had fine control both Of his fast ball
and his curve, and was continually
getting. the bulge on the Red Soy
by getting the first ball over for a
strike. He had a great fast ball and
a sharp break to his curve which he
kept down across the knees Of the
Red Sox batters, varying between
the inside and outside corners.
The few hits that the Red Sox
made of him were all very hard hit
balls, especially Jake stahl's drive
against the left field fence. which
was exceptionally high and a long
sailer.
With the games evened up and
Wood against Tesreau, another great
battle is expected today on the Polo
Grounds.
The Washington times., 1912-10-11

the great Wood-Tesreau duel which
took place last Tuesday in New
York; although neither pitcher dis
played the wonderful GOODNESS that
Joe Wood had in New York. O'Brien
pulled himself out of a bad hole in
the fifth when the Giants had three
men on and two down. for with this
setting Snodgrass had Buck three
balls and one strike.
Had Snodgrass not swung at a bad
ball, one which was outside and low,
he would have walked and Fletcher
would have been forced home. With
three and two, O'Brien put the ball
across and made Snodgrass hit, with
the result that. after he had fouled
of two, he drove ny to left which
Duffy Lewis captured for the final
out Of the inning.
Outside Of the second and fifth
rounds O'Brien pitched great ball and
fully deserved to win. His spitball
/, did not seem to fool the Giants to
any great extent, but he had them
swinging at his high one on the in
side, which is by far his best ball.
As was the case in many of the
games played during the American
League season, the Red Sox did not
hit behind O'Brien.
I believe that II the Red Sox
could have, in the early part Of the
contest, put across one run for Buck
he would have been far more effec-
tive. Every pitcher that o'Brien is
pitted against 10 In the best possible
form, and holds the Red sox to a
few scattered bits.

GIANTS GOT ALL THE BREAKS.

II cannot be denied that the
Giants got all the breaks. Murray's
run In the second was due to Hoop
er's throw striking soft spot on the
diamond and bounding straight up.
for had the ball taken a regular hop
Murray would have been an easy out,
as Carrigan had the plate we'll
blocked. Devore's wonderful catch
In the ninth inning is another illus
tration Of how things were going
for the Giants.
McGraw had his outfielders play
ing very deep during the last in
ming, and It was due to this that the
Red Sox did not come home in the
lead. Had Devore been in his regu.
lar position he would never have
reached Cady's terrific drive. for he
just cot his hands on the ball.
A mix-up between Wagner and
Lewis on Gardner's hit In the ninth
was costly to the Red Sox, for hat

again to show that anything can hap

batting, ana still lose unless her sup

The Giants have shown all the bes.

Red Sox have shown the best defensive
play. Another Boston weakness de-
velops In the lack OF generaisfip, as the
team appears to be lurking In circles
without any central aim or given point

In totaling the statistics we fnd that

Nerves Are Breaking. =
When a series gets down to where
three games are played and each game
swings upon the last bail pitched--the
final out-there Is no great roar OF con-
fidence due from either camp.
Outside Of the pitching-and Devore's
catch-two Giants have kept their tribe
In the hunt upon the attack. These two
are Herzog and Murray. the twin sons
OF Swat.
Red Jack has wiped 1911 Off the slate
forever. With Herzog batting 900,
mostly In the pinches, II has been MUIR
