OCTOBER HILLS.

The glory Of October hills,
The light that sparkles there;
The witcherY of gold that fills
The haIsan Of the cir.
The turning leaf, the flames vine,
The twilight sky CT burning vine
The silence of October Hills,
That says so much that speaks
In music of the whispering Titls,
In mystery OF the peaks.
The falling nuts, The gusts Of ram,
The silver moon Of fall again.
The splendor Of October hills,
Baptized in their desire
Of pomp that rough the spirit thrills
With beauty's ,'earthless fire.
The fading bloom, the f2r-away
Sad ghosts Of sunlight yesterday.

SNODGRASS and
Meyers OUT OF
SERIES FOR GOOD

New York. Oct. S.-The Giants will be
compelled to play the remaining games
of the worlds series without the servi-
ce5 OF John C''ChiefD Meyers, the regu-
lar catcher, and considered by many to
be the greatest slugger on the New York
team. Meyers is one of the two Giant
players TO get into the 800 class OF bat
tiers this season, and his mighty smashes
had been relied upon as discOunting in
a measure the Onslaughts of Home
Run Baker. Of the Athletics.
The Giants will be further handi-
capped by the second injury to Fred
Snodgrass, which occurred early in the
game at Philadelphia today. While
playing at first base in place of Mer-
kIe. who received a wrenched ankle
Tuesday. Snodgrass twisted the ten
don which he pulled just before the
series opened. 1t is doubtful if Merkle
will be able to get into the game be-
fore Friday at the earliest.
Chief Meyers was hit on the end OF
the little finger on his right hand dur
ing the niRth inning Of the first game
at the Polo Grounds. and another clip
on the same digit during the practice

Matty, as usual, had fine control. He
did not give the Mackmen many good
balls to hit. and when it came to pinch
the veteran was there four ways from
the ace.
Overconfidence more than anything else
had a lot to do with this defeat charged
to the Mackmen. The next time the Ath-
letics go against McGraw's star differ
ent feeling will be in evidence.
Baseball statisticiRns like Hugh Fuller
ton tell us that 1t was Mathewson's turn
to win a game in the worlds series, for
since he beat Bender in the opening game
of the 1911 series Matty has started five
times, or rather pitched in five worlds
series games, and fail/ to bring home
the bacon. Today was his sixth attempt
and he came through with colOrs flying.
