The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-15

New York, October 14.-Fighting in the last trench, the New York Nationals repulsed the on-rushing Boston Ameri- cans today and sent them back to defeat by a score of to ?, in the sixth game of the worlds series. A victory for the Red Sox would have carried with it the title of worlds champions of 1912 and when "Rube'' Marquard walked off the Polo grounds this afternoon with his second triumph over Boston tucked away i. in the sleeve of his pitching arm, New York took hope that the Giants might be able to capture two more games and bring the title to this city.
 As They Now Stand
 The worlds series now stands: Boston three games won, New York two games won, and one contest tie. New York, however, did not win all the victories today. On the green turf just back of first base while the 3O,ooo spectators were leaving the grounds Managers Stahl and McGraw tossed a coin to determine in which city the deciding game should be played in event New York won tomor- row in Boston. Stahl won the toss and all the remaining games will be played on Boston's field.
 Taft Kept in Touch
 President Taft on the yacht Mayflower kept in touch with the game by wireless while reviewing the battleship fleet in the Hudson river. The inning scores were also wigwagged from ship to ship all along the line so that every man jack of those aboard could know the progress of the game.
 All the action of the days game came early and when the smoke of battle float ed away at the end of the second inning the score stood to in favor of the Giants and thereafter neither side could add a tally in the face of the superb twirling of the two left-handers, "Rube" Marquard and Ray Collins
 The Boston southpaw had been called to the firing line after the Giants had touched off an explosion of hits off Buck OBriens moist ball. The fusil- Jade of hits came with such suddennness that for the first time in the series the Boston infield was unable to meet the at tack of the New Workers.
 How the Runs Were Made
 Two crisp doubles, four singles, baliS by O Brien and double steal netted New E. enough, the four singles garnered by the Giants were slow infield rollers, which on the soggy diamond were difficalt to handle
 Boston made its tallies in the second on Marquards error on Gardner's groun- der. hit by Stahl and a two base smash by Engle, who batted for O'Brien.
 "Rube" Marquard curved them over low and then sent up his fast ones around 10 nf ha hq al the results of Marquard's service was a great day for the Giant outfielders. The trio of gardeners, Murray, Snodgrass and Devore, covered acres of ground and gobbled up no less than 15 fly balls. Of these, Red" Murray, in right. whose fiery looks seemed to glow as a beacon to the Boston batters so many drives did they send his way, captured seven, while Snodgrass took six and Devore two. Red SOx Game
 The Bostons fought gamely to overcome the lead of five runs The Red Sox made two tallies in the second but their at tack was broken in the third with a bril- liant catch by Snodgrass. This play was the turning point in Boston's offense.
 Stahl made first on a hit when Wagner drove screaming liner to deep center. Snodgrass turned and ran toward the fence. The drive looked good for a home run and Stahl was rounding second with Wagner turning first when Snodgrass caught the ball as it came over his shoul- oer. That ended Boston, and with the exception of the eighth Marquard sent the Red Sox back to the bench in- one, two, three order in every inning.
 Ray Collins pitched a fine game and in the seven innings that the Giants faced him not a run was scored.
 Things might have been a little diff 1<.d naII Ittxp l.. A kl.- first" remarked Manager Stahl, "but it was a dark day, the kind that is just suited to O'Brien's fast ball. But 'Brien didn't get the breaks and we will have 10 try to end the series tomorrow"
 we have made the start and we expect to finish it up,' said Manager McGraw to- night, before leaving for Boston. By winning tomorrow's game we can put Boston on the defensive and that done
