M'GRAW'S TEAM BADLY CRIPPLED:
MACK IS WORRIED FOR PITCHERS

day was the greatest exhibition of
pitching l ever saw. No team could
have hit him. The Athletics, l ad-
NIT, like speed, that's why Matty
used his curve so much. and they
made no extra base hits. / don't
think that Mathewson will repeat,
however, fol. he is laboring under a
greater strafb than any one in the
stand imagined. He did not feel il
so much yesterday, but today he will
be pretty stiff. I think that he Will
be beaten if McGraw pits him against
Bender. Bender did not have to exert
himself half so much"
Dunn's sympathy is naturally with
Connie Mack.
Coming up on the train from Phila-
delphia with a number of baseball
notables were President James Nc
Aleer, of the Boston club, and George
Mcbride, of the Washington team.
McAleer still thinks his Boston team
is as good as the Athletics, because
of the superiority of his outfielders.
He gives credit to Mathewson, and
says that Big Six is better now than
he has ever been.
Mcbride admits that yesterdays
victory for the Giants swung the ball
ance in their favor but he still fig
ures. as was told in the Evening
Star recently, that the Athletics
gameness and hitting power will car
ry them through.

MATHEWSON SUPPLANTS FRANK BAKER
AS STAR OF 1913 WORLDS SERIES

And on the second day another new
star shone forth with all the glory
and splendor of heavenly body cast
ing forth it's effulgence in the f1rma-
ment of fandom. 1t was the star of
Mathewson, and its glow bedimmed
the brilliance of the Baker star
which had CLEANED on the horizon
the day before.
The skipper who can take a high
speed craft and win a race deserves
credit, but the fellow who puts out in
ship that is unseaworthy, that
seeps and leaks and needs calking
and brings her home in front is
wonder. That's what Mathewson did.
He had Shafer behind him in centre
field. Shafer might make a dazzling
catch one minute and the next in
slant fall down ignobly. On first
base at the start of the game was
Fred Snodgrass, who was so lame he
limped like a grasshopper, and had
to retire. That brought Wiltse, a
pitcher into the game. Wiltse did
fairly well around first base, and kept
his nerve about him, but he was ex-
ceedingly weak with the willow.
Then, to make matters worse, Chief
Meyers has badly bruised thumb,
and could not catch. Mclean did all

tapped to the box and Mathewson
threw him out at first base.
Mathewson had snatched victory out
OF the jaws of defeat and then to add
to his laurels, he smashed out his sec
ond hit in the tenth inning sending
home Grant with the winning run.
The other two runs the Giants picked
up did not matter. Plank wobbled
and so did his infielders. Collins,
after fielding Herzog's bounder, threw
the ball past Barry in trying for a
forceout. Then Doyle was hit by a
pitched ball.. filing the bases. Fletch-
er came along with a scratchy boun-
der over Bakers head and two more
Giant runs came in. The final score
was 80.
In the very first inning the Giants
put Mathewson in bad. Murphy shot
one as straight as a billiard shot,
right at Doyle. Larry muffed it and
fumbled, as though he were hand
cuffed. Oldring, instead of sacrificing,
smashed a clean line single to left
field.
Collins, sacrificed very properly and
was narrowly nipped. Then came the
mighty Baker, with runners on third
and second. Did he hit for home
run? He DID not. Matty curled the
ball around the outside of the plate
and fooled the Trappe terror so sue
cessfully that Baker swung and
missed his curve ball on the third
strike, not by inches, or feet, but by
yards. Anyone who had visions of the
Great Mathewson being punctured for
and perforated with base hits had to
change his dope from that time on
The Giants took new courage when
they saw that their champ was
stronger than Connie Mack's foremost
ally. They played like wildcats and,
though Plank twirled alright ball,
the Giants never quit.
1t was nip and tuck pitchers bat
tie all the way. Plank was in one
particularly bad hole in the ninth,
when Fletcher singled and Burns
walked.
Plank showed signs of cracking, but
he held together long enough to get
the next two men, though both hit
flies. Connie Mack felt that Plank
had lived through his worst inning
and failed to send anyone out to warm
up. Fatal move. In the second half
of the round Mack, with everything
to gain and nothing to lose, allowed
Plank to bat because he had no one
warmed up. The rest of the story has
already been told.

VELODROME RIDERS
ARE STORM-bOUND
Heavy Rain Makes Cycle
Track Muddy Inland
Lake.
KRAMER is RESTING UP
KRAMER is RESTING UP

The Velodrome was again storm
bound yesterday and the bike riders
were forced to lay off. The infield
is a placid lake today and the track
is soaked, which will probably keep
the riders Oft unless the sun comes
out strong enough to dry the surface.
A lay-off is no hardship, however,
and will not affect the form of any
of the riders. Champion Frank Kra-
mer, who put up an astonishing ride
in the ten-mile tandem-paced race
at the Velodrome last Sunday, is still
''vacationing," and the fact that the
track is out of commission is neither
here nor there with the old master.
Kramer is surely wonder. He can
remain off his bike for weeks and
then put up most sensational ride,
something that no other rider can
do. Even when resting the others
have to have a bit of work or they
can't ride at all.
Kramer will compete in two races
Sunday and he will be perfectly fit
for real battle. In a team match
the champion will ride with Frank
Cavanagh, and they will be opposed
by two teams made up of Jackie
Clark and liver Lawson and Bob
Spears and Joe Fogler. The other
race in which he will show is one
third-mile handicap.
There are a number of the bicycle
riders that are real dyed-in- the wool
baseball fans, and the worlds series
has few of them betting anything
from a cigar to real money. Jimmy
Moran, who has a penchant for
double-headers, must figure that
there will be two games played for
the one price of admission on Satur-
day. Jimmy postcards" to Floyd
MaeFarland from Chelsea as follows:
"Cheer up; the worst is yet to come.
1t was just a lucky day for the
ball will get If that gang of
New Workers cop the series. If
you want me to come down for
Saturday let me know in ample
time, so that can cut into
at least one of the games. Perhaps
the National Commission will be kind
and slip me a double-header."
A list of track records made on the
various European courses has just
been compiled by the Rad-Welt (the
German cycling paper and shows
that Bobby Walthour, the Atlanta
cyclist, is the holder of a number of
local records, some of them being
worlds marks. Walthour holds rec
ords for 80 kilometers on the tracks
at Barmen, Chemnitz, Cologne and
Leipsic, his fastest time for the
81 LIS miles being S4:06 at Barmen,
Germany. Over the 100-kilometer
route Walthour holds the marks at
both Cologne and Leipsic, Germany.
Leipsic being the fastest, he covering
the 62.1 miles in 1:0s:55 1-5. At Co
logne and Leipsic Walthour made the
best marks for the hour, his best
being at Leipsic. where he made 1854
kilometers (about 53.2 miles). Among
the other prominent record-holders
are Paul Guignard. the French
worlds champion; Victor Linart, the
Belgian; Karl Saldow, the German;
George Sores, the French rider;
Janke. the German champion, and
Richard Scheuermann, who was
killed at Cologne, Germany, this sea-

Father Sees Game
Posted Up on Sc0rebOard

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa, Oct. g.
There was gray-haired man watch
ing the scoreboard yesterday during
the progress of the worlds series
game in Philadelphia to whom the
success of Christy Mathewson meant
more sentimentally than to anyone
else except, perhaps, the Giant star
pitcher himself. 1t was Mathewson's
father, G. b. Mathewson, of Factory
vile. He had been summoned here
as a witness in court proceeding,
but when his name was called to take
the stand he could not be found. OF
ficers were sent in search of him and
the elder Mathewson was located in
front of the scoreboard, applauding
and smiling broadly as every succeed
ing report told of his sons wonderful
pitching.
"I used to play amateur baseball
myself years ago." said the old man,
with a disappointed expression upon
his face as he accompanied the Off
GERS back to court.
"I've never dreamed though that
my boy would achieve the fame that
Christy has in the baseball world"

Only documentary Drill
Given to West Point Eleven

WEST POINT. N. Y, Oct. 9.-The
Army squads mid-week drill yester-
day was not as strenuous a workout
as was expected. Head Coach DAILY
devoted considerable time to prelimi-
naries. In fact, the men were given
a long rudimentary drill before being
lined up for the short scrimmage.
The linemen got some more instruc-
lions in charging and starting from
Coaches Sultan and Pullen.
Lieutenant Hammond looked after
some of the faults recently displayed
by the ends and DAILY watched a
punting drill, Hobbs and Hodgson
kicking with critical eye. Hodgson's
kicking was all that could be desired,
but some of the backfield men had
trouble In holding the wet, slippery
oval. Hobbs booted the heavy ball in
splendid style too. During the ten
minute scrimmage between the first
and second teams some time was
spent in perfecting the Army's de-
Tense.

Freddy. Harvard Quarter, Is
Badly Hurt in Practise

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 9.-The
Harvard football team lost another
member by injury yesterday when
Vincent Freddy, a quarterback,
was kicked in the head during Il
scrimmage. He was removed to
Stillman 1nflrmary. Physicians on
the field expressed the opinion that
Freddy had suffered a slight con-
cussion of the brain.
Instruction of candidates by tho
coaches yesterday was largely along
individual lines, particularly as to in
reference. The effect of this in
dividual attention was reflected in the
practise scrimmage. when the varsity
made four touchdowns, two on runs
of sixty yards each by Logan and
Hardwick, and two on blocked kicks
by Milholland and Soucy, all the re-
suit of individual effort.

Connie Mack was accused of blund-
ering when he sent Plank UP to bat
in the ninth. where Walsh, Danny
Murphy or Harry Davis might have
produced a long fly or perhaps
squeezed runner in, breaking up
the game. Yet Connie had to figure
carefully, for he Is badly handicapped
for pitchers. The defeat yesterday
for the Mackmen was a severe blow
because the Athletics lost a game in
which they had good pitching, better
than they can expect in the remain
ing games.
Mack had to grope in the dark.
He dared not use one of his reliable
youngsters by removing Plank In the
ninth inning yesterday, for that would
cripple him for today. Who will be
the young hero of the Mack pitching
staff? 1t lies between Bush, Houck
and Shawkey. One of them must de-
liver or the Athletics can't expect to
win.
Jack Dunn, manager of the Balti-
more Orioles, who produced Shawkey
and Eddie Murphy, thinks that Shaw
key will be the third pitcher" which
Mack is apparently trying to find.
IF Shawkey Is right" said Dunn,
"the Giants will not be able to hit
him, and I had a talk with him and
he says he is right. That's enough
for me-"

Cornish Shows Improvement

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. g.
Yale's new attack was driven at the
scrubs for thirty-five minutes yester-
day afternoon, although the field was
heavy from a rain of several hours
and the temperature was high. Prac-
tically no changes were made in the
lineup and Yale will face Lafayette
on Saturday almost exactly as it
fought the scrubs yesterday. The
substitution for Guernsey of Wiser at
fullback was the only shift. Avery
at left end and Wilson at quarter

strain, but the Peerless Matty
finished Just as smoothly as he
started
Mathewson was the hero of the day,
and also supplanted Baker as the
hero of the series, so far.
He broke up the game with his
single in the tenth inning, sending
home the first run of the contest.
Later he scored himself, but his
greatest achievement was in the
ninth inning when the Mackmen were
retired without tally after they had
pushed men around to second and
third base, through two hits and
Doyle's error, with none out. A little
ny would have ended the game then
and there, but Mathewson frightened
$up and he forced Lapp to tap lightly
to Wiltse, who cut down Strunk at

Player Loses Memory After
Michigan Football Practise

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 9.-After
participating in a ten-minute scrim-
mage against the varsity football team
yesterday afternoon, Carl Gravon,
a freshman student in the literary de-
partment of the University of Michi-
gan, suddenly lost his memory. He
was found later wandering aimlessly
about the streets and taken to the
hospital. Late last night physicians
had been unable to determine the eX-
tent or exact nature of his injuries.
Coach Yost yesterday experimental
further with his lineup. Traphagen
was sent to centre as a substitute for
Captain Paterson; Gault was placed
at quarter as an Anderstudy of
Hughitt; Bentley was assigned to a
halfback position and Benton was
given the fullback berth.

that could be asked of any catcher.
but Meyers is rated the more yalu-
able man.
Burns made two good catches of
long drives near the left-field
bleachers, and Oldring uabbed one
wallop from Mclean that was a rip
shorter. Still there has been nothing
quite so sensational by the outfielders
to date as that wonderful catch De-
wore made on cady in Boston last
year.
Burns has been weak with the
timber, while Fletcher has hit hard
and fielded clearly. Doyle is hitting
hard, but Is not getting them safe.
Mathewson yesterday had two hits
and a pass. A circus catch by Eddie
Murphy who turned a half somer-
sault, robbed Big Six of another bid
for hit.
Mathewson's control was wonderful
throughout the entire game. There
never was a moment when he was
hit hard or seemed to be weakening.
In the eighth Collins and Baker had
singles, with two out, but in hold
ing this pair of sluggers to singles
Mathewson won the day. With the
stuff that Matty had yesterday no
batter in the game could have hit him
when he frightened up.
