Far From Beaten, Says
Manager McGraw

John j. McGraw appeared more
reticent than usual after the de-
feat Of the Giants yesterday.
He may have been worrying
about the loss Of the game or
he may have been thinking about
the story he had to write or
siRn, hut I'm any case he only
said,
"My men are far from beaten
and still expect to win the series.
We hit Wood hard today, and 1
think we will beat him the next
time"
Jake StahI, manager Of the Red
SOx, was more confident than
ever m he pilOted his men to the
train just after the game. He
saids
"Watch us win tomorrow and
drive another nail I'm the worlds
championship nag. We will he
back here for one game next
week to clinch the title. My men
played great ball this afternoon
and Wood pitched q brilliant
game. Now that we are out I'm
front once more 1t will be hard
to dislOdge us"

WOODS BRILLIANT WORK
Pitched Great Ball and Is Given
High-Class Support by
Heine Wagner.
WOODS BRILLIANT WORK
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 12-What will
probably prove the crucial game in the
present series was won by the Red Sox
yesterday when for the second time in
four days Joe Wood defeated the New
York Giants
That victory not only gives the Red
Sox the advantage Of one game, but its
moral effect is hard to be estimated,
while the success Of Wood comes pretty
near to proving that he can beat the
Giants any time he is sent in to work.
Wood was hit rather hard yesterday, If
allowing nine hits would indicate this
and that he got away with his game
was entirely due to the brilliancy Of his
support. One Heine Wagner was re-
sponsible for Woods victory. 1t was his
marvellous fielding which stopped the
Giants on several occasions and kept
their base hit column down to nine Wag-
ner prevented no less than four hits, and
half OF these We're at time when they
would have done a lot of damage. 1t
was the most suspicious day that the
hero of the series has enjoyed. Never
before in his career did he have such
difficult chances to handle and never be-
fore did he accept them with such con-
sistency and accuracy. Time and time
up balls which had all the earmarks of
hits and threw his man out at first He
was here, there and everywhere throw
ing CONSERVATION into the ranks of the
Giants. But for Wagner Wood nigh,
have been beaten. In fact, there is hardly
doubt of it, for with an ordinary short
stop behind MIN Wood would have been
in more trouble than he was, and he was
rather busy at times
But Wood pitched a splendid game OF
ball. 1t was one of those games in
which he never dared to take a breath
ing spell He had to put everything
he had on every ball he offered, and
there were times when he had to extend
himself to the fullest limits in order to
prevent disaster. 1t was his work when
danger threatened that made him show
himself great pitcher.
There were numerous occasions wher
a base hit would have meant defeat and
at such stages Wood shone like the
brightest star.

having whipped that aggregation into a
championship proposition. There are
several weak spots In his lineup. but he
manages to get some very good results
for all that. 1t did not reflect much cred
1t on Snodgrass' base running to have
himself caught mapping off first base in
the opening inning. 1t must have been
that the Giants center fielder was fgur-
seemed to deliberately walk off the bag
without even giving Wood a thought
Quick as flash Wood had the ball in
Stahls NIT and Snodgrass was out.
1t looks like suicide to send Mathewson
back against the Red Sox today, and yet
there seems to be no other alternative.
1t has been the system here in New York
to always work Mathewson when cru
cial period is reached. He has helped his
team out often that no one would
think of pitching any one but MathewsOn
at this stage. and yet 1t is asking a whole
lot of the veteran to work again. with
but two days rest. That game the other
day which went to q tie was q hard days
work for Matty. He said so when it was
all over, and 1t is extremely doubtful If
he can come right back and deliver the
goods. But of course McGraw is in a
position in which he cannot take any
chances. He might be able to figure q
way by which he would gain a couple of
days for Mathewson by working lar
guard with but single days rest, but
ne Is not apt to take that chance.
Strangely enough, none of the other
pitchers Is ever given any serious con-
sideration so far as pitching in these Sc
ries is concerned. They have all been
used in nOn-important games during the
season. and are held now only to finish a
game now and then.
McGraw has great ball player in Capt
Doyle. He is a natural leader as ball
player. and he would look a lot better in
these gar es If he was hitting up to his
standard. But neither he nor Meyers
have been meeting the ball as they should
against the Boston pitchers.
That Speaker is the best hitter of any
player on the two teams Notwithstanding
the fact that he Is not getting his share
OF the hits is generally conceded. There is
no more impreSsive-lOOking man when
facing the pitcher and in every one of
these games he has met the ball on the
nose pretty near every time that he has
connected with 1t, but he has been I'M
fortunate in that he has not been getting
1t SAFE Speaker stands head and Shout
ers- over the other two Boston fielders,
and 1t Is his presence which has given the
trio its reputation of being the best out
field in either league.
Figures will show that this years re-
ceipts surpass any of former years and
naturally the players of the winning team
Will get more than they ever have before
The popularity of these worlds series
games is such that no club can accom-
modate the crowds that want to attend
Each year the interest grows and yet
there Is no chance for the ball parks of
the big cities to be enlarged.

Wagner a Great Support.

When he apparently seemed to falter
the irresistible Wagner would make one
of his circus plays and come to his res
cue. and this combination proved quite
too much for the Giants and Tesreau
team been able to get him any runs he
would probably have shown to even bet
ter advantage, but as it was he mad an
uphill fight on his hands right from the
outset. He improved as the game pro-
grade of ball near the finish, when he
was taken out to allow a pinch hitter to
bat for him.
1t was a good game of ball. lust as
exciting as have been all that have pre-
coded 1t in the series. There was never
a time when 1t was not any body's game
and both pitchers found themselves in
predicaments at various times. The field
ing of both teams was Of the best but
one error being charged against each
and neither cut any figure in the score.
1t was undoubtedly the largest crowd of
the series which attended and there was
the same display of that enthusiasm
which has marked every one of the
games.
Boston was fortunate in getting its hits
at the right time. The Giants outhit
them. but many of these were wasted.
which really tells the story of the game.
Larry Gardner who on the previous
day gave him team a chance to win out
in the ninth. was responsible for the Of
fensive success of his team TODAY. He
scored the first run in the second on his
three-bagger to right, which was fol-
lowed by a wild pitch. allowing him
to score, and his hit started the rally
which gave his team the final run in the
ninth.

How Wood Is Protected.

The delicate adjustment of these bones
is the cause for anxiety. It does not
take much strain to displace them. In
Woods case the huge muscles undoubt-
eddy save the wrist from any danger of
injury. That band of muscular tissue
evidently relieves the strain, so that
there may be no more danger of Wood
throwing his wrist OUT than a man of
ordinary build would incur in using a
typewriter.
If you could place your own right hand
and wrist beside Wood's-however sturdy
you are-you would be astonished at the
immense difference.
Then, too, Wood has learned to follow
Cy Youns's advice. and he does not work
his wrist hard this year as he did Ia st
notwithstanding he is much more sue
cessful as a pitcher. You see, he con-
serves his energy by mixing in more
curves and slow balls with his fast
ball. so that he lasts longer and does
much more in tine long run.
All Of this leads up to the secret of
Woods delivery. AS nearly as can be
determined from a study of his arm in
motion. the ball that has "stood the
',lerican League on it's head" is deliver
ed.
Mood grasps the ball with the first two
fingers at the top, the other two at the
right side Of the ball. and the thumb
directly beneath the first two fingers
How He Pitches the east Ball"
For his fastest ball he holds the sphere
tightly. and loosens his grip for slower
fast balls SO that he can fool the bat
