THE SPLMTERLNG OF WOOD
Little Stories Told About Baseball
BIZ ". 4. Phel0n.

FPHERE were many wild, weird
moments in the frantic series
where worlds hOnOrs were lost
and won IN 1912, but of all the chaotic
kaleidoscope scenes that marked that
mighty struggle few VIII live longer IN
the memories of the beholders than the
one hurly burly inning when the Giants
were the guys who put the splinters into
Wood. That inning, in its happening
and its attendant circumstances. has lew
parallels in baseball history. and We may
never look upon its ike again.
It was game seven of the nerve shat
tering series and Boston had the Giants
pinned three games of two. Just one
to 60 the home grounds and the home
crOwd-and Joe Wood to do the pitch
ing. All over but the formality Of
counting the receipts. and the thrOnging,

cheer Red SOX victory as they swarmed
through the entrances and drew their
Overcoats tight to fend off the sea

up the field. and sought their perches
in the center bleacher.
Two minutes later perdition broke
loose. Through some inexplicable. in
eXcusable oversight. never explained to
the present day. the management had
forgotten to hold the seats sacred to
the royal rooters. and the populace had
packed them to the wall Fifty fights
began; graphing wrestling. citizens
rolled out into the field. and the rovaI
rooters, massed in deep left. gave
tongue like bloodhounds as they de-
manded satisfaction. The mounted
police charged them: they formed in
squares and stood the shock ike the
British infantry at Mont St Jean. Hats
were smashed. the great red banners of
the royal rooters were trampled under

minutes before the field was cleared
And all this time Joe Wood stood out
there on the hill, jettisoning his young
red neck to better see the battle. while
the chilly winds sang on his hair like
a minstrel twanging on a harp. and his
good right arm grew nUmbed to the
very sinew.
The fight ended; the gong rang; the
Giants fairly hurled themselves forward,
bat in hand-and the frozen, shivering
Wood must face them without a moment
to gain warmth or free use of the dead
ened arm! Devore sent one spinning
over the infield. Doyle followed with
a rafting wallop. As the numbed
pitcher slowly swung his arm. Devore
and Doyle burst from their moorings
and brought off a double steal. Snod-

The frozen Wood was still trying that
was all. Merkle slammed him for a
hit that counted SnOdgrass. Herzog's
roller retired Merkle. trying to take too
much advantage of that ratified foe.
The great indian, Meyers, put all his
weight into an enormous swing-and
the ground rules held it for two bases.

one inning made the heart SCATTERING

OHIO POSTMASTERS
NAMED BY WILSON
Garber'S Selections Fail to
Receive Appointment.

Washington, June II. - Presiden.
Wilson sent to the senate the nomi.
nation of Arthur L. Mccarthy to be
postmaster at Franklin, O. Harvey
CARRIER and w. W. Durbin had in
dorsed Adam Bridge, editor of the
Franklin News, for this appointment.
Senator Pomerene indorsed McCar-
thy and the selection was made on
his recommendation. Franklin is in a
Republican congressional district and
therefore Senator Pomerene has the
distribution of the patronage there.
This case is accepted by the mem.
bers of the Ohio delegation as conclu-
sive evidence that in the distribution
of postmasterships the postmaster
general and President Wilson will
follow the recommendation of thu
Democratic representatives and sen.
ators.
CARRIER rad also protested against
the appointment of H. e. Kinzly as
postmaster at Nevada, in Representa-
tive Keys district, but Kinzlys name
was sent in along with the following
others: Frank V. Lantz, Macarthur;
George d. Dunathan, Findlay; Byron
