NEW YORK FANS ON
PINNACLE OF DELIGHT
Second Victory Sends Them Away to Bos-

Oppose Them Today.

the games in which he has pitched,
excepting in the pinches, and you
saw what he did then when he cut
loose to strike out the batters. To-
day he need not nurse his arm for
any further conflicts and he'll pitch
at top speed from gong to curtain"
Deyore Talks of His Great Catch.
Josh Devore explained yesterday
now IL was that he made his sensa-
tional catch. robbing Cady of a double
and Boston of the third game in the
Hub last week. Il sprinted with the
crack of the hat said Josh; "it
looked like a forlorn chance but 1
figured that the wind would hold it
up, and it did that and more. it drove
the ball in my direction, and just as
| made a last mad squirt the ball
landed in my glove. I know the wind
was whtstling by my ears and my
fellow players say I never travelled
faster in my life. / think I must
have been flyingl''
Engle in Limelight.
Clyde Engle. another ex-Newarker,
who was a member of the 1908 team,
with Josh Devore as a confrere under
George Stallings, had the honor of
driving in both of Boston's runs yes
terday with his sharp double in the
second round. Devore did his best to
nab the pill but got nowhere near it.
At Boston Engle's drive would have
been a triple.
Stahl's Critics Pan" Him.
Those who do not care much for
Stahl's managerial ability, say he
could not have made a worse selec-
ton yesterday to start the pitching
task if he were blindfolded and
stabbed at a list Of names compris-
ing his pitching staff with a pin.
Collins came through and pitched
great ball for seven innings, but 1t
does not follow that he would have
escaped in the first inning n more
than O'Brien did. The Giants were
out to smash the Red Soxs' machine
from the start, as could be seen from
McGraw's little speech printed in last
nights Evening Star before the game
began. McGraw's last words were
Go in and smash them in the first
inning. Nothing can stop u.s."
This was printed before the game be-
gan and showed clearly to the high
fighting pitch McGraw had worked
his men. He is a genius at melting
his men to desperate deeds.
To date Stahl has been the one slow
member of the Boston infield. He
has not covered much ground, and
yesterday he ran over to cover the
bag, depending on Yerkes to field an
easy grounder which an agile first
baseman could have felded and
beaten the runner to first unaided
or with the aid of his pitcher.
Fletcher came through with a fast
double play that broke Boston's back
bone and again showed McGraw's
| Judgment to be perfect in spite of
the harping New York critics. Ger
tain New York scribes are getting I'M
enviable regulations throughout the
country for their prejudices and their
sharp criticism. Snodgrass has been
criticised unjustly but showed his
nerve when he stood up under the
jeering of the home fans and made
a catch that really saved the game
though in a different way than Wag-
ner's. His stunt changed the feelings
of the crowd magically and he was
constantly cheered thereafter. 1t was
a lame way of making an excuse to
blame everything on S~nodgrass.
