o,oodeIphia. oct 1O.-"You can't
hall game with lame men and
p-. .ot 70 get away with it, was the
.ou,bat laconic remark of Jake Dan-
cantain Of the Brooklyn SUI
w. Us after the Athletics had once
P ,,n beaten the Giants in the worlds
Sn,orship series at Shibe Park
here to-day
a1rst analyze this game he contin-
- "and you'll see that the Gripping
oaerass and Merkle cost one run.
" ., If this the Athletics couldn't
To . mistake, and Of course the
Us of the game were all in their
,nor don't say this as an excuse
-, the Giants, because for six innings
~ acted as If thoroughly disorgan-
,..a and discouraged and played just
" -, the kind Of ball you would cx-
nsct from a Class b club.
ostn that's the way Of baseball;
..-,stimes the harder you try the
.orst things look. and I tell you things
,,o,s badly for them to-day, as things
,,oke well for the Athletics.
BEFORE you 60 any further just tell
.,a New York fans from me that
-,ue there's a game there's hope in
h.,.ban McGraw will come back with
w,,,v at the Polo Grounds tomorrow
r,ne Connie Mack will have to eX-
ns,iment or else call on Eddie Plank
s,d 7 don't think Eddie is good for
,,o,bsr game after that ten-inning
,.,,,s m Wednesday. OF course, the
Cant. have got TO wake up and DO
come hitting. because you can't win
Raj games on alright pitching alone.
LINKS Sweet for Athletics.
aot course. it looks pretty sweet for
,ss Athletics with only one game to
win while the Giants must take three
straight, but every game Of baseodu
-, re new angles and there's no tell
,,g what may happen. McGraw mas a
hard fight before him, but the case IS
10, homeless and somehow l have the
feeling that the Giants will yet pun
out
10 Won know where l think New
York lost the game to-day? MOI
We'll III tell you. 1t was in the fifth
ming. when Schang drove two runs IN
With single 10 centre. just out Of
larry Doyle's reach. Schang should
not have had the chance to make that
hrgle. but Marquard and McGraw
made the same mistake they did in the
epening game last Tuesday. and under
sxactly the same circumstances.
III YOU remember, two men were out
and two men were on bases last tues
iay when Schang came up ana
slammed out a three-base hit, which
scored two runs. l said then that
mistake was made in not passing
Schang and waiting for Bender.
Now, here we are to-day. and the
same blunder is made right over again
With two men out in the fifth inning
strunk walks and Barry hammers out
a two-bagger. Then up steps Mr..
Schang. remarked at the time:
They'll pass this fellow and wait for
Bender l didn't see how they could
make the same mistake again, but they
did. although there were two good rea-
sons for Rube' TO give the catcher
base on balls. In the first place, he
has proved himself a dangerous nit
Ter, and In the second place any extra
sxertion they could pile on Bender
would count against his effectiveness
Is II was plain he was saving himself
as much as he could.
Where Vanguard Blundersd.
But Rube played for Schang. and
Yang! he makes a hit and sends TWO
men across with runs that won the
game, as II turned out. That's bad
baseball. II know anything about the
game can see no excuse for giving
Nnang that chance. OF course, Ben
Osf might have come across with
w. anyway but I'll wager my new
su'omobile against a straw hat that
We error Of judgment cost the game,
sno was far more damaging than Mer-
ASs error in dropping that foul
III tell you of two other cases that
"ud be put down TO the breaks Of the
same that cost New York a couple OK
'ans' Both were on plays OF the finest,
we Kind that makes baseball so won
ss7ul because they look and are so
tiHhcult
Vidring robbed Harry Mccormick
ait and maybe Of a two-bagger in
' Hith inning, with Murray on third
s by rushing in and making
ssulng catch. II was beauty. but
l "'ioer wouldn't get it once in twenty
'eS There was one run, and maybe
y" lost 10 New York Then came the
sNh inning, when the Giants were in
miost Of a rally. Bender robbed
"her OF what looked like a sure hit
knocking the ball down. but made a
,~ throw TO second to force Doyle.
"a' Goes Barry do? He just sticks
nand out and makes a catch that,
1--WE me, saved the game. Sure. II
good baseball. but so extra good
you can class them as breaks
