Pittsburgh Fans Cheer Larry.
FINALLY. when Larry's hit doomed
ont like the sunset gun. and 10 the
homes of the Pirates the crack 81
doom. the fans rose to their feet with
a mighty cheer. Nor did the ovation
end until the smiling New York cap
tain. bappy as a child with new

Rob Bescher, who was power for
the New York team throughout,
singled in the twenty-frst inning, al
ter two men had been retired. Larry
Doyle came up. and some leather
lunged individual in the stands yelled
out in stentorian tones, Two out!
II might have been that Larry's temper
was ruffled. or it might have been
that Adams had finally cracked under
the terrific strain. This II what hap
pened. The first ball flashed down
the groove like a bolt Of lightning and
Doyle let it pass. The umpire ruled
il a strike. The next one was wide
and was declared ball, but the nd
was over. and Larry was in the hole,
two and one. Adams put the fourth
service down with a world of speed
on il.
Dovle struck at il with every ounce
of power in his broad shoulders be
hind the swing He caught the ball
meteor il flashed toward the centre
field fence.
Racing against fate, as it were,
Kelley and Mensor raced after the ball.
Nainly they marked its flight. No
human legs could hope to cope with
the bullet-like speed OF that ball as
il whistled for the fen.e. And while
the ball and the fielders were racing
outward. Doyle, running on the feet
of Mercury. tore around the bases,
bearing with him victory in the
greatest game ever played in this city.
Bescher only romped around. but he
waited at the plate to shake hands
with his captain, and together they
walked TO the bench to receive the
congratulations Of their victory crazed
teammates.
Marquard Comes In for Glory.
t But if the New York fans are pre-
pared TO surrender the keys of the city
to the hard hitting infelder, RUDE Mar
GUARD, the angular southpaw, is not to
be forgotten. Returning 10 the game
after an illness Of a week or more,
Marquard pitched in all his oldtime
form. He was frequently in trouble,
several times in hot water, but he had
his head and heart with him at every
turn.
Toward the end Of the game, when
his speed left him and mis- curves no
longer darted and broke about. his
headwork and courage stood him IN
good stead He put the ball over the
plate, allowing fifteen hits, walking
two men and striking out only two.
Marouard displayed all the con-
fdence in the world in the men behind
him, and not without cause. Burns
and Fletcher were brilliant in their
play. The former gathered in no fewer
than eleven flies in left field, while
Fletcher got thirteen out of fourteen
chances at shortstop. Bescher, Doyle,
Merkle and in fact all the team stood
in, playing the game right up TO the
last ounce.
The Pirates got after Vanguard in
the sixth inning and threatened 10
break him down. With one out Wag-
ner singled, and when Niox hit 20 cen
ire Honus started for third. Bescher
shot the ball 20 Stock, but II bounde!
into the infeld. Wagner scored, and
the crowd cheered.
Byron Sends Wagner Back.
The demonstration was bit pre-
mature. Lord Byron, the umpire oe-
clared that Wagner had tucked the ball
under his arm as he arrived az third
and knocked II away from him as be
started for home. Thereupon he de-
elnred the German out for interior
cnce and sent NioX back 20 second.
Fred. Clarke protested so vigorously
that he was put out % the game.

the glory OF the afternoon. Babe
