Trouble has broken out among the
Giants because of criticism OF the PLAY
ers. Center Fielder Suodgrass is angry
because of criticism poured upon his
head by McGraw Saturday for mishan-
ding Yerkes' long fly. which allowed
the runner to take three bases. whereas
the Giant manager thought that the hit
should have been only a single.
Dissension has been caused by criti-
cism Of the players who are writing
expert criticism of the games for New
York newspapers.
Mathewson. who pitched SATURDAYS
game, attributed his defeat to Snod-
grass play
Some Of the players are not on
speaking terms with each other AZ
result of newspaper reports.
There was possibility that ton1or-
rows game, if it was necessary. would
be played in New York. Members Of
the national commission announced
that if the Giants won today the,.
would flip coin to choose the scene
of Tuesdays struggle.

Odds Are Now 3 to l
Against McGraw's
Team---Small Crowd
on Hand Today.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14--CroVrSs which
had hitherto besieged the Polo grounds
to get good seats for the games there
between the Giants and Red Sox in the
worlds championship baseball games
werel acking today,
Less than twenty persons were,in line
outside the park at daybreak.
This was partly due to the raw
weather which prevailed. but more gen
orally to the belief that The Giants were
out of the running and would not hg-
ure in this afternoons contest.
Although the weather was hazv. theirs
was no sign Of rain. It was cool. The
field was in good condition, and there
was no doubt as to the games being
played.
Boston fans offered to l on the
outcome of the series, and 10 to 8 on
this afternoons game.
AS the Sox needed only one more
game. while the Giants needed three
consecutive victories, the local rooters
were cautious about taking betting
risks
The pitching probabilities for the
sixth game of the series were Pay Col
Inns or O'Brien, for Boston, and Mar
guard or Crandall, for New York.
Although Marquard's arm was a 1T
tie lame he pleaded that Manager John
J. McGraw Of the Giants send him in
against the Red Sox, to see if he
couldn't stem the tide of disaster which
had overwhelmed the New Yorks.
Manager Jake Stahl of the Sox held
Smoky joe Wood in reserve AL
though the Sox had won three of the
four games necessary to insure the
championship of the world Stahl was
cautious and refused to make any pre-
dictions
"Of course we expect to win the
worlds championship" he said.
Manager McGraw, for fear Of causing
further Encouragement to an already
downcast team, talked optimisticaIlv
when asked what he thought of the
chances
while we have to win three straight
games, | believe the boys are equal te
the occasion" said he. 1T is a big
fight, but we are fighting to the last
ditch. The club has been playine far.

plays golf he uses clubs a foot long

that when he hits the ball It goes q

to know how the game was played.
Well, you see" said his Instructor,
you put the ball right here, just
this way. Now, see that mound over
there about a mile and a half? Well,
on that little mound there Ia a little
hole, and the play Is to put the ball
into that hole In one stroke"
Bristow let drive with the same
force that he had acquired in split

followed the ball. When they came
up to 1t they found, to the surprise
Of everyone but the Kansas senator,
that the ball was within three inches
OF the hole.
