With shattered hope, like a bubble of

And the rampant Sox, with "Jef' in

ball Joe we are willing to state that z
he has yet to pitch game true to his 3
American League form.
He has won. but he hasn't been at
his best. If Mathewson wins his bat
tie, Wood must show a surer flash OF
his old form to upset Marquard now
that the Rube has tasted gore. In this
respect, Marquard is good bit like
the Nubian lion of yore. One taste OF
gore gives him quite an appetite and
he is a much tougher citizen to deal
with than If beaten. The Rube has
the same confidence now which car
ried him along his record run and
must be counted as one of the vital
factors of the series-a more danger
Gus man than either Mathewson or
Tesreau, who looked to be New York's
sole hope at the start of the series.
Unless the dope goes badly awry,
Boston will find this wry-necked side
wheeler the hardest man of the melee
to beat. Marquard confident and
Marquard on the run are two entirely
detached souls without a single
thought in common And Marquard
after the first start, is far from being
on the run.
The Red SOx InfieId.
Professor Mack displayed quite a
cluster of infield talent when he en-
tered the world series last fall, but

inner set. The Boston outfield was
