tory and the last chapter will b.
written tomorrow. The players hav,
no reason to prolong the series, a
their share of the receipts are TO
the first foul games only and ended
on Friday. Boston Is anxious to hav,
the n~erve-racking strain concluded
while New York is in the game solel,
for its honor. Todsy's game will b,
a terrific battle through every round
If the Giants We're to take a brac,
today, there vas general agreemeni
that they were due to start with the
fielding end of the game. Errors
they say, have lost at least two Of
the games of the local men. Ever
with the poor showing which the
Giants made with the stick on Sat
urday in Boston. it was an error that
let in what proved to be the winning
run. Boston's fielding. on the other
hand. has been much cleaner and
more efficient. Wagner's work IN
cutting off hits has been particularly
brilliant. The few miscues by the
Boston fielders have, with an excep-
ton or two, not been costly.
There was no more trouble about
ktLliIlS StdlS Ioudy tHdh Oh any pre-
ceding day of the series. The early
crowds were easily accommodated,
and late corners found plenty of
space.
If the Giants win today the next
game will be played in Boston. This
announcement was made today by
Garry Hermann. chairman of the Ma
tional commission. q who explained
that the tie game in Boston was not
rated as a decisive" game and that,
therefore, tomorrow's game, if there
is one, will go to Boston under the
rules.
Today's crowd was slow in arriving.
1t was a chilly day and the fans
took their time about coming to the
grounds. There were about $4,000 on
hand at Il o'clock, and it did not
leok as though the attendance would
exceed $4,000 at the best. There was
plenty of room for every one with
zone of the Inconvenience and dis
comfort such Is was the case during
the first two games here.
While today's game Will actually
be the sixth game technically It
would be the fifth game because of
the drawn contest at Boston on
Wednesday can't be counted a con-
test.
Enthusiasm Is Missing.
The fans were not s~urcharged with
the same abnormal enthusiasm as in
the previous games here. There was
not as much cheering, and all in all
the fans behaved normally, as though
witnessing a regulation everyday
league game.
A brass band did its best to stir
up the fans and take the chill out
of the crowd. The royal rooters'"
band, of Boston. with their crimson
flags Haunting high. marched onto
the field at 10 o'clock to the tune of
their favorite selection, "Tessie,"
blared by their own brass band. They
were applauded and cheered by the
New York fans and returned the
compliment when their band struck
up "~Tammany."
The Giants wen about their work
in practise with little of The vim
they showed before Saturday; still 1t
could be seen that they had not quit.
There was a strong undercurrent of
the DO or die" spirit under the
vim Of their light-hearted appear
ance.
Joe Wood came in for a wonder
full reception from the home fans
as the Boston players rushed across
the arena at l O'Clock. The rival
bands struck up different tunes, and
there was a fierce din and maudlin
mixture of the clashing sounds.
Matty Gets ovation.
Matty and Marquard came on the
field together. The fans realized that
Marquard was New York's one hope.
Matty was cheered as much as
though he had equaled Woods record
instead of losing twice. Big Six
talked to Vanguard to nerve hin for
the final test. Before coming on to
the field John McGraw gave his
players their last advice. Go in anG
smash them in the. first inning. Moth
ing can stop u.s." We're his final
words.
The Red Sox were as u~nassuming
as ever and practised smoothly and
with the easy grace of self-confi-
dence. The Red Sox mascot amused
the Boston fans by singing popular
songs before the game.
Marquardis face seemed drawn and
worried and he did not have the con
f1dent smile he wore before Thurs
days game. Rube constantly juggled
a bat as If to take the edge off his
nervousness.
Harry Mccormick, the Giants star
pinch hitter, broke his bat in hitting
practise. and the Red Sox fans said
he would no longer be a factor in the
pinches, as his luck had been broken
with the bat.
Ray Collins was the first of Jake
Stahls possible pitchers to be
scratched from the list of eligibles.
He pitched to the Red Sox in prac-
tise. to enable them to get accustomed
to southpaw pitching in anticipation
of Rube Vanguard.
Buck O'Brien warmed up alone for
the Boston team and again got ready
to attempt the feat in which he failed
when he met Marquard OH Thursday.
Manager Stahl evidently decided Ia
hold Wood for tomorrow. Marquard
did not seem to have as much steam
and smoke as in his last start. Man.
ager Jake Stahl stood pat on his
winning lineup, using Cady to eatcll
O'Brien.
Encouraged by thousands of cheers
Marquard undertook the task of saw
ing the Giants at 2 O'Clock, with the
band playing, flags waving and the
Giants desperate.
