| somber visaged Marylander went TO the
plate headtirst. easily beating the throw.
Mccormick There in PINCH.
Then came Mccormick. the pinch hit
ter. dragging his enormous bat. his
BUTTON at the top of>>his cap.
Not for nothing does McGraw carry
the big handsome slugger. They say
Mccormick cannot run. and that he cam
not field, but he can hit, and moreover
hit in times of need. for all pitchers
and all situations look alike to him.
The corpulent Bill Rigler removed his
mask and announced the name of THE
Moose" to the crowd. but few heard
him. A great bable was sweeping the
two-tiered ring of humanity about the
field. Mccormack wasted no time. He
swung against the first ball Wood
pitched to him. and the stands belched
a wild below as the drive seemed to be
shooting over second base for a safe hit
with Fletcher leaping along between
second and third.
Steve Yerkes lunged forward toward
second and made a sensational one
handed stop of the ball. Fletcher had
reached third base. McGraw was coach
ing on that station. and as Yerkes came
up with the ball the commander of the
Giants sent the runner on toward home.
ferkes apparently grasped the situation
at once. He saw he had no chance to
get Mccormick at first, and he waited.
poised for a throw to the plate. He
apparently realized that McGraw would
gamble on this thin chance.
Fletcher Ont mt Home.
Yerkes lashed the ball across to Cady.
the young battery mate of Smoky Joe,"
while Fletcher was between third and
the plate. and Cady had the ball and the
plate blocked as the lank shortstop flung
himself at the plate.
Despite the rain of Thursday night and
the threatening skies. a long line of
people were waiting at the gates Of the
Polo Grounds early this morning. The
gates were not opened, however, until
nearly noon because of a hitch which was
not the fault of the Giant management
The umpires-"Silk" O'LOughlin and
Billy Evans-inspected the field with |
great solemnity. and after they had de- |
cided it might be possible to play, COM
was established with the |
national commission. and that august |
body finally conceded that the pastime |
should go on.

Meyers had a chance to tie the score
in the Giants second with two out and
Merkle on third, but a line fly to Lewis

Cy RiSler was the umpire behind, with
O'Loughlin on the bases.
The crowd started to roast Fletcher in
the fourth when Cady's grounder, an
almost impossible chance, was fumbled.
permitting Jake Stahl to score Fletcher
was lucky to have knocked down the ball.

Gardner was really the Boston hero
this afternoon. 1t had been predicted
that Larry would likely spring a few
mild surprises before the series closed,
but until to-day he had played only or
dinary ball.
Gardner's triple in the second was re-
sponsible for the first Red Sox tally His
base on balls in the fourth paved the
way for another marker and when he
opened the ninth with a clean single the
men behind him were able TO send him
around the bags for the final run.
