NEW YORK, Oct. .3.-Tomorrow
is the day that VII! forever put the
q. t. on thar eleven thousand dol
lar lemon" title Also tomorrow is
the day that Giants get back in the
running. ti,e day tina. we win hand
out a singing defeat to those Red
Hosei athletes from cultured Eos
tom the tav that VIII start the Giants
on the road 10 three successive WINS
and the .so.li's championship, for the
year of 1872.
All of which proves that it's going
to be quite some day.
When ] was mere slip of a lad
my mother schooied me in not boast
ing about myself. / have never for
gotten 1t, either, but | think ID As
my duty to my teammates To Man
ager McGraw and to the local Giant
fans to announce that I am fit and
ready to bring another victory to
New York,
If / were not in shape To pitch I
would not go in: IL / had the least
doubt that / wasn't right on edge /
would refuse to work, even thought
4
taking my turn. But
Confidence of Rubc.
RUDE Marquard is right and he il
going to win by
] worked out for an hour this af-
ternoon at the Polo Grounds. My
arm was "a little kinky. and / feared
at first that l wouldn't be right for
tomorrow's game, But after having
got up a fine persp1ration all the sore
ness left the arm and tonight 1t feH
like a million dollars.
There is only one thing that may
cost me the game. The Giants must
give me a run You know ma pitcher
can win unless the men behind score
at least one man Take that game
saturday in Boston-Matty pitched
the very best game of his life. but
couldn't win because the Giants
couldn't score IA couple of runs.
l don't believe / will need over
one run TO win tomorrow, but | will
stake my end OF the worlds series
money on myself If the Giants viii
give me a pair OF taiiies.
Manager MeGraw called me up or
the phone tonight and asked how the
old southpaw wing was fixed.
Never better, Mae" ! assured him
Well, Rube. / am going to stake
our all on you,' he said, and
know that you can pull us out OF
this bad ru We're in"
This confidence that McGraw has in
me Is going TO be paid in full.
Boston Had the Breaks.
Boston has Isslowed the Gia nts
nothing to date. but they have had
the breaks They have been mors
consistent in their hitting. however
The Giants have been hitting tbs
ball good and hard, but they haven'i
met IT when hits meant runs
Awish McGraw would make a
couple of changes in his team for to-
m0rrow's game He ought TO MAKE
a shift in his outfield and also make
one change in his infield.
would like To see Harry Nc
Cormick playing in that outfteld. Not
that ! believe he Is any better
fielder than Murray. Devore, Snod-
grass or Becker. but he is a beal
with that old ash. l think he Is the
most dangerous hitter in the countr,
and McGraw certainly needs to have
some hitting behind his pitchers II
we are to pull through TO the cham
pionship,
am confident that Larry Doyle
will hit his batting stride tomorrow
and if he does I will get the twe
runs that / will need to win my
game.
