Central and A. and n. Props had a
practice game yesterday at the Friends

used every man in its respective squads
and the coaches were right behind the
teams during the one period of scrm-

Giants H. g.. Dit
Up to M MatheWson
To Save Giants
Chief Meyers Sure that "Big
Train" VIII Put New York
Back in Running.
BOOSTS YOUNG SCHANG
By CHIEF MEYERS,

As told to a representative Of The Washington
Herald.
Philadelphia, Sept 1O.-our case rests
with Christy Mathewson. The old mas
ter must stop the Athletics tomorrow.
The man who has carried the New York
Giants on his broad and willing shoulders
for the past dozen years stands alone
between the slugging Athletics and our
fond aspirations.
I am sure the grand big fellow will
put us in the fight again. He will not
have il so hard as in Philadelphia
Bender is out of the way and Plank can
not possibly be fit for such a gruelling
duel as that ten inning battle of We'd
nesday. ore of Connie Mack's colt
twirlers will have to fight our best
pitcher. That gives Big Six marked
advantage and he will have the sym
pathy of the crowd. which he lacked in
the Quaker City.
1t is a shame that We did not win
today. We lost out by one run. We
may as well call this one the first which
came in the second inning. That was a
gift TO the White Elephants because of
the cripples in our array. Snodgrass,
when well, would have been Camped
under McInne's Texas Lacquer. Merkle
failed to get under Barry's high foul
properly because he wrenched his lame
ankle in setting himself for the ball.
Used Speed Too Much.
Al Demaree seemed to have every
thing, but l think he used his speed
too much. The Athletics can hit a
fast ball. Marquard showed all his
usual brilliancy in the last three in
nings he toiled. He hadn't properly
warmed up when they nicked him for
two in the fifth.
Bender's long head pulled him
through. That in A way, is a slight
reflection on us. The Chief had no
more stun than on Tuesday, but he
kept applying 1t to the very best ad-
vantage against the weaknesses of our
bat.ers.
Schang has been one of the heroes
of this classic. He was pretty much
the whole show yesterday Philadel-
phia must thank him for FIVE of the
six runs. He drove in four. two at a
time, and scored another. Schsng is
the exception which proves the rule
that inexperienced men should not he

TO WORK MATTY TODAY
By RUBE MARaUARD,

As told to a representative Of The Washington
Herald.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1O.-If McGraw had
started me I'd have trimmed the Ath-
letics today. Nothing TO 1t. ! faded this

outside. 1 made couple of mistakes in
the fifth inning, ana they made two runs
on me, and they would have scored no
more. l was right. / had the stun and
/ knew the batters. That's where De-
maree fell down. No manager can tell
a pitcher how to pitch.
McGraw went over to Philadelphia and
watched these Athletics, and he saw what
they were weak and strong on. He told
US, but IL a pitcher does not learn these
things for himself he cannot follow out
got my lessons in that first. 1 faltered
slightly today, but 1 had absolute con-
troll.
Demaree was not exactly nervous. but
he did not have the same confidence l
had. simply because 1 had faced the Ath-
letics recently. II was just the same as
meeting a club that you had been pitch
ing against all season, and II our team
was not so crippled / feel certain that We
could beat the American League cham
pions in a long series.
As it is now, with Meyers, Merkle, and
Snodgrass crippled, We sure have a battle
ahead OF us. The AthletlcS nave nNe
men hitting 800 and we only have one
player in that tclass-Meyers-andh he's out
OF the game. Where we should win is in
pitching, and there is a chance yet.
Denaree Lacks Confidence.
Demaree got in dutch at the start
by giving Rube Oldring a high. fast
ball. when he should have worked him
on a slow one or a curve. Oldring
picked one for three bases. Oldring
was nailed at the plate on Collins tap.
luckily. and the decision was close.
Egan had the say, and the National
League players do not think . great
deal of his umpiring. Collins then
stole, and l only mention ii to bring
up a defect in Demaree's pitching. He
has a good motion with men on base,
but he is slow.
The Athletics were lucky to secure
their first run, hit by McInnes start
ing the trouble. II was short fly TO
center, and Shafer would have gotten
that. Snodgrass asked McGraw to let
him play before the game and he said
that his leg was all right. Mac took
him at his word. and sent him in. Well,
Snodgrass could not run fast enough
to get under the lift. and that prob
ably lost us the game.
Some persons criticised McGraw for
not playing wiltse at first after his
good showing the other day. but Mac
inquired that wiltse would not hit much,
and he was right, for Merkle got to
his stride, cracking out a clean homer.

Marquard entered the box in the Ath-

him was J. Franklin Baker. The south

away from the plate and the great slug
ger struck out.

 Nearly all inside the car were on their feet when the impact came with
