Murray Scores First New York Run After Making SIashing Double Giant Southpaw Fans Four in First Three Innings
(By Grantland Rice

Fenway Park, Boston, oct 1o--An air of sluggishness, a touch of the cold, gray dawn stuff in the morning after, pervaded the Fenway scene, today. It was either the boding Iull before an- other storm or a reaction from that wild, madhouse scrinrnage of the day of the old pep to the entrance of both clubs, there was 2, certain notable grimness in. evidence as if each fight ing array had snapped it's collective jaws together and made up it's co1lec- tive mind to go out, play ball and grab off this next battle.
 The Giant detachment came on 20 minutes after their rivals had arrived. and, like the Red Sox, they entered with heads up, ready for another slam bang fight. These signs all indicated a consistent form of defensive play and. therefore, a lack of scoring as com pared to the first two days.
 In the early workout interest as us- ual, radiated from the rest of the sun kissed athletes in bulk to the willowy forms of the pitchers as all pitchers guys", in the public prints if not on the field. The towering forms of Rube Marquard and Jeff Tesreau with the sinewy Buck O,Brien and Joe Wood already announced that Buck O'Brien, his eminent spitballist would endeavor to push the saliva ointed pill past the Giant bats. McGraw had also pro- claimed Rube Marquard, the spiral southpaw, was his choice. But a wild fumor blew out of some dim, inside nook. that Stah1 had decided to rush warming sun McGraw was planning to send in Jeff Tesreau as the Ozark Mountain has always been at his best after a long days inter1nisSion. Mar quard said before leaving Giant head quarters, today, that he tipped the beam at 19o pounds.
 The Giants regarded Buck O'Brien with cOnSid4ra I1le interest They knew Boston was looking for Saliva Buck to pitch one sven game of bah if he was at his usual autumn stride.
