he loses out after having such q
good lead he has probably lost his JOB
next season. These little stories
show the tenner of local feeling.
A majority of scribes present ad-
mitted that New York fans deserved
to see the eighth game of the worlds
series more than did the Boston fans.
who have already seer four games
and did not come out very strong to-
day.
There were scores OF reserved seats
left and they were easy to obtain.
The bleacher crowd was late in ar
irving and there were less han five
thousand seated at noon, whereas
there had been three times that num-
Der at the four other games played
here. This in spite of the fact that
today's game is the most important
of the eight played, because the win
ner captures the worlds title.
Cold weather Effects Crows.
The extremely cold weather for this
time of the year had it's effect on the
crowd. Heavy ~overcoats and blankets
We're worn by everyone who could af-
ford to own these garments. Many
Boston fans We're probably kept away
by the ~stringency in their purses, be-
cause Boston has bet heavily and lost
steadily on the last two games, CIV
ing big odds in each instance.
Captain Charley Wagner, OF the Red
SoX. gave the Boston pitchers, Be-
liant INond and CaJ1fnp nrlaro In
warm up well, SO that the Giants
could not upset the Boston machine
in the first inning, as they have dur
ing the past two days. Woods fault
yesterday seemed to be that he
warmed up too much. Neither lMath-
ewson nor Marquard had their arms
in the best working order, both feel
ing somewhat stiff, but RUDE and
Matty declared that they would try to
win today at the expense of running
their wings, because of the cold.
The wind at the ball park was as
strong as yesterday, and just as err
ratio. 1t varied every few minutes
and again worried the helders in prac-
tise.
The fans were asking If Boston
could pull together and stop the
Giants. The Red Sox We're pretty
much in the same straits as the prize
fighter jolted to the ropes twice and
groggy; could they recuperate and
come back and put over a Hay
Maker"
John McGraw was up to his old
tricks and the Giants came out on
the field in a body singing the Red
Sox rooters' favorite song "Tessie,"
to get the Boston teams goat.
DIR. Otis Crandall grooved the
sphere for the Giants in practise, if
of said sphere was not in
terrupted by a resonant contact with
Giant timber. From their actions In
practise 1t looked as though the
Giants were a little more confident
almost cinched and then feel your
self slipping is not a pleasant sen
sation.
McGraw stated before the game
that there would be nothing to 1t, but
he had his fingers crossed and he'd
better "knock wood too, before stalk
ing anything on the prediction. AT
80 O'Clock the centre field bleachers
were practically empty, and 1t was
certain that the smallest crowd of the
series would attend this game.
New York fans, $50 miles away, had
to be content with sc~ore-board de-
pictions of the game. while Boston
fans passed up the rare delicacy of
eighth and deciding battle in "a
worlds series.
