''Chick' Davis, one time third sacker
for the Pumping Station team. and now
with Erie In the Interstate League. is
playing the classiest sort OF game
for the Sailors, as they are called. Davis
recently won the first game. at to !.
of q double-header against youngstown.
and drew forth the following comment:
Chick Davis. the Sailors diminu-
tive third sacker. grabbed on all OF the
space within the limelight. He secured
the only two hits registered on Nose
ly. both of which counted in the tally
ing and crossed the plateau with the
two counters credited to the home folks.
Every fan in the park was ready
TO grab Chick and hug him with de-
light after that eighth inning, when he
opened up with a double and later
crossed with the winning run. oh. what
n victory II was. And against Mosely,
too. That was the best part Of II. !"
It may be seen that they are rating
Davis pretty high out Erie way. The
third baseman was Thought 70 be the

There's no use overlooking the fact
that the Athletics have the best organi-

solace to yesterdays double defeat, that
sends the Grinmen back to fourth place.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Marvelous
" Mathewson. The hero Of the
Worlds Series of 1905 against
the Athletics eight years ago, again
he wore the halo in 1912 against the
Red Sox and yesterday his grand
work in the stiffest kind of an uphill
fight, with a terribly weakened team
behind him. not only did he shut out
the Athletics, but it was his own
timely hit in the tenth inning that
sent in the run that won the game
and broke the back of Pitcher Plank,
who had fought him for nine full in
nings to a standstill.
Mathewson established himself yes
terday as the baseball marvel of all
The years the national game has been
in existence.
You may talk of the Radbourns and
the Keefes of the past and the john
sons Of the present. but none of them
would or could have risen to the
startling emergencies that faced Ma
ty yesterday in game of such impor-
lance and come out a winner in the
most thrilling diamond contest that
was ever played.
Big Six" in his career of thirteen
years as a big league pitcher, during
which he has been forced TO show
gameness and skill such as no other
pitcher ever displayed, never showed
such consummate judgment or ever
gave a more brilliant exhibition OF
pluck and artistic ability.
Twice during the contest that was
the most exciting Of any green dia-
mond battle ever played he was
forced to stand the brunt of the con-
fiict himself. Everything was appar-
emily against him, There did not seem
a possible chance for him to pull out
OF the deep hole he was in. but he
did so nobly, and without a culver,
mentally or physically.
In the first inning he showed the
stuff that Is in him. Murphy was
on third and Collins on second, with
one out. with the great Home Run"
Baker al bat, the most dangerous
batter he ever had to face. 1t made
no difference that Baker had hit him
for home run in 1911, or that the
same famous batter had walloped a

NARQUARDS SAYS
GIANTS GAMER
THAN MACKNEN
"And | Will Win My Game on
Friday" Declares McGraw's
Erratic Southpaw.
By Rube Marquard.

NEW YORK, Oct. .9.-"Tve got to
take my time I'm an old man,
nearly 40 years old. I can't
pick up that ball and throw it the
next second"
This was the remark made by Ed
die Plank yesterday afternoon, and
we fellows thought there were tears
in his eyes.
The Athletic infielders were trying
to hurry him along. Plank simply
couldn't go the pace with Christy
Mathewson, who is, without doubt, the
greatest pitcher that ever lived. Mat
ty outguessed Collins and Baker all
the way through.
None Of us cared to express our
opinion openly about Plank-though
every one of the Giants felt that he
was all in-until Larry Mclean made
his second hit.
why, this old boy isn't strong
enough to shave himself" said Larry,
and you ought to have heard Wilbert
Robinson roar.
Say, kids" put in Wilbert. plank
is an old man, and they were trying
to hand us something when they fore
told that he would be there. Every
body take a little swing now, for
the old boy is goner and he won't
figure any more in this series"
Just as l predicted yesterday, even
though l lost my game, the Giants are
absolutely confident They showed
this in the second battle, for they
outgamed the Athletics in every de-
partment
Matty had Plank worried from the
moment he started to pitch. 1t was
fight, fight on our bench. McGraw
and Robinson and Matty himself kept
shouting to the boys: Flight them
out! They'll quit"
/ don't call the Athletics cutters,
but / say we have the gamer team,
and l will win my battle on Friday.
Tesreau Will pitch to-day, and
feel pretty sure McGraw will put me
in tomorrow. Tesreau will be up
against a youngster, probably Shaw
key, and he'll beat him.
| figure that the title is as good as
wen by us now.
True, we are hurt by the absence
Of Meyers and Mertle, good hitters,
but look what Wiltse did.
And don't forget Mclean.

what won the second game of
the Worlds Series for us.

no part in the glorious victory. You
may imagine my emotion as ] sat
nursing my mashed thumb. I never
fully realized before the strain and
tension of inactivity. 1t was a strug

would give a big share of my pin
money for just one crack at Eddie
hit would have broken up the game
in our favor. You know that south
paw tossing is pie for me.
But the boys came through all right
without me. Larry Mclean caught
as grand a game as | have ever done
in all my life. He smothered or
turned back at the plate twice in the
ninth the run that would have meant
goodbye to all our lofty ambitions.
For had we lost that game in Phil
adelphia ii would have been all off
with our crippled club.
Every man on the team realized as
much. That's why there was such
dash and fire and fight in our attack
and defense from the time that Won
derful southpaw of the Mackmen
made the first pass at Herzog till we
had driven the Gettysburg Marvel to
defeat with three runs in the tenth
inning.
McGraw worked hard as any man
on the field and his courage carried
the boys through several trying pre-
diCaments.

being on a fadeaway that Baker

1t was that great feat that, to my
mind, caused the Athletics to lose

first time since 1905, fearful of de-
