What The Players Say

JEFF TESREAu-I attribute the defeat to overcon-
fdence. felt good enough at the start Of the
seventh, but suddenly weakened, and before l could

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-The Red Sox got the
"breaks." Wood cannot come back and repeat the
victory. Red Sox failed to show much.advertised
hitting ability.

Becker to run for Movers In the crucial inning.

on the spitball was the one with which
be struck out Speaker in the seventh.
When he did get the splitter to break
1t shot through the groove, which is al
most as bad as to be unable to control
the ball. -..
Splitter Went Astray.
Many times his splitter went into the
dirt or outside and the Red sox let It
so. This was more noticeable 'as the
game went on. for during the FIRST few
innings the Red sox went after bad
balls and the best they were able to do
was to slice the ball or pop II In the air.
Duffy Lewis was the only one who got
good hold on the ball until Speaker
drove one to left center for a triple in
the sixth.
Otey Crandall. who took Tesreau's
place in the eighth, pitched fair ball
while he was in. He had a nice curve
ball and struck out Gardner and Stshl
In the eighth. He used poor judgment
when he served Wagner slow ball
with Devore playing over for a right
field hit, for Heine slipped a double to
left.
Had the Red Sox landed on CrandalPs
curve ball. It would have been but a

has no fast one to protect the curve.

Wagner. the Boston shortstop and
captain, injured a finger when Murray
slid into second base and was touched
out in the third inning. Wagner eontin-
ued playing, however. and It Is not be-
lseved the injury will prove serious.
Harry Stevens, who presided over the
destinies OF the peanuts, hot dogs
and soft drinks, had no confidence In
cash registers and other places of the
kind for keeping money, so that he
employed two men to run back and
forth between the park and the WASH

started. The motor pokcd its nose hard up and began
showing the smack along much faster than it had

While the larger craft have little any for the

initial cost of the motor.
Why, you ask, should they not put the motor engine
inside the vessel and connect propeller direct? 1t

would save all the trouble OF manhandng the dinky

able to explain why it won't work; for it won't This is

coasting schooner rig up propeller, start the engine
and it wouldn't bulge her in a mlpond. Also, warp

her ahead as a tow, and she would only muss up the

burners were as promptly removed, an. j coal
fires replaced. And the day Of the final passing Of the
sails had been deferred.
HOWEVER, the decp-waer sail is passing. as surely
IL and swiftly as time and the following figures will
tell the story as clearly and conyncingly as moving
picture film, albeit not dramatically.
The first dOcumcntcd steamships Of over 100 tons
REGISTER Of record built in the United States were FIVE in
1915 with total OF 955 in tonnage. In the same year
1924 sailing vessels were built in this country repre-
Scning 10000 in tonnage. Since then the scale has
gradually gone up on the one side and down on the
Other until for the fiscal year 9lO-ll the United States
built 969 documcntcd steamships, Of 100000 tons while
there were only cightytwo sailcrs launched, with ton
mage reduced to 10000.
The vessels built in 1900 were mostly large sailing
great square-rggers round which Is woven
the most fascinating romance OF the sea No square
rggers have been built since 1903 and only one or two
scattered through recent years before; while only TWO
brgs have been built since 1887. During 1910 and tor
many preceding years, the sailing vessels built IN the
United States were confined 70 SchOonerS and soopS
principally for the coaStwisc trade.
The American marine in 1908 consisted OF 1926
steamships and 10000 sails. In 1910 the steamships
had increased TO nearly $1,000; while sailing SHIPS Aad
decreased 10 5000.
The story OF the increase Of steam and decrease u sail
is more pronounced for the world as shown IN vessels
OF over 100 register In 1890 there were recorded
2l 1870 sailing ships and los steamships, total Of
32 29S with '2l5l 65l in tonnage. For the fiscal year
lqlOl there were recorded over 22OOO steamships al
increase OF nearly 1000 and only 5000 sail, or de-
crease Of more than 1900. While the total number OF
ships has decreased 2,24O, the tonnage has almost
doubled making II obvious that the steamship Is Ii.d
ing larger and the sail continually smaller.
In contemplating the number OF ships built ana on
the sea- it may be noted that during the last year % rec
ord there than 300 steam and over 400 'ns
vessels either lost at sea or broken up.
The tragedy in this to the sail lies in the fact @ ,ney
