Ii is not doubted here that cooler

that country practically will be driven
to war to satisfy public opinion.
In the failure of intervention, ev-
cry fibre of energy will be exerted by

realized that all depends on the even

coveted strategic territory be menaced

Despite Russian sympathy for their
SlaY brethren of the Balkans, whose
welfare Russia has fostered, no com

Russia and Austria and both these

had two hits in four trips to the plate,
one of them being for two bases. He
was all over the field and nothing got
past him. Herzog also was very
much in the game getting two hits
and helping New York to make the
third run. But one attempt was made
to steal a base and that came in the
second inning when, after having
reached first base on force, Stahl
started down and was tagged by Mey-
ers with perfect throw to Doyle.
Despite the nervousness of the two
teams there were but two misplays
These were committed by Wagner and
Fletcher, the two shortstops falling
down on easy grounders, no doubt due
to their anxiety to get the ball across

Seventeen men struck out during the
game. For New York, Fletcher fell 4

wore. Snodgrass. Merkle, Herzog, Mey-
