Although a watch may weigh only a
pound or two. it feels ton or more
when it is pressed into a players hand
while the public applauds, but Stroud
shouldered, OF rather pocketed. his bur
den bravely and pitched one Of his best
games Of the year.
For FIVE innings not q single Red
reached first, and so loud were the
cheers Of the men from Dover that the
ticking Of the watch was scarcely 4udi-
Bile.
The sixth found the Reds rampant,
and by punching four of their six hits
they made three runs against stroud
and his Giants. Thereafter he held the
foe safely, but he was much indebted
to Fred Snodgrass, who made re-
markable running catch in deep left IN
the seventh inning and doubled a GIN
cinnati player off second. Snodgrass
ranged all over the field and had eight
put-outs and two assists.
A little later, when Snodgrass was
caught off first. the crowd bOoed him.
The spirit Of the bleacherites has not
changed much since the ups and downs
Of the thumbs in the days OF Nero.
Officially the afternoon was Stroud
Day. but il was Doom Day aS well.
Only one team has won q worlds
series without a red-haired man, and
McGraw has replaced Murray with
PLAYER of richer hue. Red Doom made
his first appearance here in New
York uniform and caught Perritt IN
the second game. Doom is red headed
right enough In the very first in
ming ne was hit on the kneecap with
2 foul ball, which laid him out, but
as soon as he had rolled away a bit
Of the pain he went back TO his task.
Rerzog started Dale, his best pitcher,
against the Giants in the first, but
McGraw's men gained revenge for
previous defeat at the hands or TINS
player by knocking him out OF the
box. or, more exactly, forcing him to
retire in favor Of pinch hitter Lear
finished the game.
Dale was hit briskly during his Eve
innings of service With two out in
the first, Doyle singled to centre, and
Fletcher followed with another single
TO right. Griffith fumbled this drive
and DOYLE scored, while Fletcher kept
on 10 third. Merkle's smash to left
brought Fletcher across the plate. The
Giants added another in the fifth
when Burns singled, took third on
Robertson's infeld out, and came home
on Doyle's line hit to right.
Stroud's bad inning was the sixth.
Only fifteen Reds had faced the man
from Dover, y. j., up 10 TINS point
when Olson tapped a slow grounder 20
DOYLE and beat it out. Nollwltz Topped
sinble into right. and ison went 10
second Rodgers batted Tor Dale. His
double over third scored Olson and
sent Nollwitz 10 third. Clark batted
for Leach, but Stroud steadied himself
and struck out the pincher. Herzog
tapped TO Stroud, who threw Mollwltz
out at the plate. Rodgers reached
third.
Il seemed at this point as if Stroud
would get by without further trouble,
but Wingo waited the ball far into
deep right Rodgers and Herzog tore
across the plate and Wingo sought to
follow them, but the ball came back
faster than he could 60, and Meyers
touched him out at the plate.
The Giants broke the tie and won IN
the eighth inning. Robertson singled
and scored when Fletcher and Merkle
also hit safely. Lobert flied to Grit
fifth, but when the outtelder threw 10
first for a double play Mollwitz let the
ball get away from him and Fletcher
scored
The second game was even more
closely contested. Pete Schneider OPP
posed Pcrritt The Giants scored twice
10 once for the Reds in the first inn
ing For Cincinnati Wingo walked and
stole and came home on Killifer's sim
gle. A pass 20 Burns and hits by Rob
ertsou and Fletcher produced the two
runs for The Giants.
The Reds took the lead in the eighth,
when they scored twice. Killifer sin
gled 70 left and Doyle threw badly on
Groh's grounder, sending Killifer to
third and Groh 70 second Fletcher's
tumble and Olson's single brought both
runners home.
The Giants waited until the ninth to
win. Lobert singled 10 centre and
Snodgrass walked. Grant batted for
Doom and sacrificed from Rodgers to
Olsen. With runners on third and sec
ond Schneider was afraid TO take a
chance on Meyers. The frying pan
seemed more fearful to him than the
fire. Burns had already found the
pitcher for two hits, but nevertheless
and notwithstanding Schneider passed
Movers 10 get at Burns. A. a matter
of fact. Burns did all the getting. He
hit the first ball for a long single 70
right and scored Lobert and SnodgraSs.
