Yerkes then made one more des-

up with it. 1t was two to one that
he would not make a perfect throw

was made of the right kind of stuff.

McGraw GambIed and Lost.
Many Of the experts were in

Baseball is a game of chance.
The gamblers instinct is often of
more value to team than ultra
conservatism, such as lost the game
for Boston two days ago
The man who really put the
Giants out of the running was
Charley Wagner. the wonderful
shortstop of the Red Sox. On three
occasions this remarkable fielder
ran back of second and dug up
grounders that looked sure hits. His
arm was as true as a sling shot,
and each of the three runners was
out by an eyelash. on dry
ground all of these would have
gone for hits That is why the
Giants feel that the fates conspired
against them. In making that eX-
PLANTATION, they are not attempting
to detract from the work of the
wonderful Wagner. He sized up
the situation and played according

Wood will beat Tesreau every
time they meet. If the series goes

will be ready on Tuesday again.
Perhaps Stahl might pitch him on
Monday.
Joe pitches from 10 to 1875 balls

far. In this kind of weather it
would not be asking too much of
him to go in the box every three

TENWAY PARK, BOSTON, oct.
r. IA fog so thick that it al
most completely obscured the
bleacherites' view of home plate
hung over this ball field this aft
ernoon an hour before the Giants
and Red Sox were to meet in the
fifth battle for the baseball cham
pionship Of the world.
Conditions for a ball game could
have been worse The mist was so
thick and heavy that it was almost
impossible to see a fly ball. The

The Giants were warmly greeted
at 1850 o'clock when they went on
the field, but a demonstration last

the field few minutes later.
The friendly feeling that existed
between members of the rival teams
in the early games was missing to-

No Alabi For Defeat.
The smoke ball artist beat the

New York players know it. They
have no alibi. They need none.
The Boston players are no
stronger in their praise of the work
of Wood than are the National
league champions His terrific
speed on cloudy day was an abso-
lutte revelation to them; and though
every artifice known to McGraw
was brought into play. Wood was
always master OF the situation.
The one silver lining to the cloud
Of disappointment to New York is
that Wood was hit harder by the
Giants on his second out than on
his frst.
Coming over on the train last
night. some of the Giants told me
that they were inclined to believe
that. with a faster field and a clear
day, they would have stood a bet

UNDERWOOD is THE MAN
underwood can win if he is nom

""Underwood can win If he is nomi
mated"
This is the firm belief of Irwin S
Cobb, newspaper man, journalist ano
magazine writer of national reputa
ton. who is now visiting in Savannah
says the News.
Il do not believe" continued Mr.
Cobb, that there is solitary man in
the north who might vote the demo
cratic ticket who would refuse tc
vote for the Alabaam statesman if he
should be chosen as the party stand
ard-bearer in the coming presidential
campaign
Be it known by these presents that
Irwin S. Cobb is no politician. He is
magazine writer, very much in love
with his profession, but he has not
lost touch. For many years Mr.. Cobb
has been one of the best known men
in the newspaper field, and his GRASP
of national questions has always been
little short of marvellous. Therefore
his political opinions-when he can
be trapped into expressing them
must bear weight.
There is nothing sentimental
about by belief that Underwood can
be elected" continued Mr.. Cobb. "The
inwardness of the whole matter is
this:
There are many good democrats
in the north who would like the
chance to prove to themselves as well
as to the rest of the country that
there is no more sectional prejudice,
and that they stand first for the par.

Strange to say, the place where
hear the most talk about the slender
chances of Mr. Underwood are right
here in the south.
"'Why, Underwood would not
stand a chance; he is :. southerner,
is what nine men in the south out of
ten say to me.
Fright there is where they are
wrong. The fact that Underwood is
from the south is the best asset that
he can have. 1t is undoubtedly true
that there is a strong sentiment in
favor of southerners,- amounting al
most to a fad, in the north now. 1t
is a fashion to admire the people of

THE LITTLE GIRL WITHOUT !
MOTHER

Because she had no mother, like
other children" a 12-year-old girl Of
Louisville ended her life Her moth
er died two years ago and her father
married again; but the little girl was
disconsolate; she had no mother,
like other children, and in the alb
sence of such mother life wasn't
worth living" No matter how you
look at it, it will be agreed generally
that every little girl needs a mother.
Who else but a mother knows so well
how to make little girl feel that
she is loved; how to read her heart
at a glance and shape her thoughts
into character? No one, indeed. 1t
is useless to attempt to minimize the
loss of a mother. The grief of this
little girl was but natural. Still it
might have been soothed by a substi-
tute mother who had love in her heart
for children, and particularly sympa-
thy for one who grieved. 1t is the
right of every child to have the love
of parents or the very best possible
substitute for it. Nor is it right
that comes under the head of charity.
1t is an obligation that is owed to
them under the highest law known; ;
they may accept it, not as pension,
but as their due. Why? Because,
it was decreed in the beginning that
every child should have parents; the
parents had them when they were
children, and their parents had had
them, too. So a child isn't getting Il
square deal when it doesn't have pa
rents, particularly a mother, like
other children" And the saddeSt
feature of the story from Louisville
is that the little girls father and her
new mother were unable to impress
her with the thought that, though
her own mother were dead, she
would be loved as nearly as possible
like other children" anyway-Pitts-
