Graws judgment look bad by striking

up by also striking out Crandall, a
mighty fan hitter, undoubtedly relieved
the situation for McGraw. The fans

twice struck out. Had Fletcher come
through with hit, McGraW would
have been lauded for his courage in

or delay the bout, the money can be re-
turned
As an indication of the confidence

The scale of prices ranges from s. to

Managing With the Second Guess
BY BILLY EVANS
Written Especially for This Paper by the
BY BILLY EVANS

Jew YORK lost the first game Of
N the 1912 series with Boston by
the score Of 4 to 3. It was a
game full Of thrills. In the ninth in
ming, with men on second and third
only one out, and the score standing
4 TO against the Giants. McGraw's
team appeared to have an excellent
chance to win. A base hit would have
turned the trick, but the next two bat
ters struck out
McGraw was severely censured on all
sides for the way he handled several
situations Of Importance in that game.
After the game was over, il was an
easy matter for the second guessers to
point out where he had erred. I have
since carefully reviewed that game
from every angle, and ii is my humble
opinion that McGraw's snap Judgment
could not have been improved upon.
know McGraw would make the same
moves right over again under the same
conditions.
Giants Had the Lead.
1t will be recalled that Joe Wood and
Jeff Tesreau were the opposing pitch
ers. In the third inning the Giants Sc
cured a two run lead for Tesreau. For
five innings the Red SoX failed to get
a hit off Tesreau, so superbly did he
pitch In the sixth Speaker tripled
and scored. In the seventh inning four
hits and a tumble netted three runs
and put the Red SOx into the lead by
the score of 4 TO ,. Tesreau had been
pitching such mastery ball that no one
for a minute thought him in danger of
blowing up. An easy double plav was
offered that would have retired the
side without a run, but the ball was
fumbled so badly that the play at sec
ond for one out was very close. A
double and a single followed this
chance to retire the side, resulting in
three runs, which proved just enough
to win the game.
1t was evident to McGraw that Tes-
reau was now through. and it be-
hoOved him to get a pitcher ready
Wood was pitching such grand ball
