The Old Master was much more mas
ierful than aged Yesterday. He al
lowed six hits IN .hc eleven innings
and missed d sru,out only because
Sherwood Marce insisted upon hitting
= home ruu In the fourth inning. 1t
was no, so much Of drive as aome
runs 20. bu' u suffced 20 score the hit
ter and another runner as well From
then on until the end Matty permitted
himself 10 be solved for Just four mus
Within the month u was stated that
Nattv would pitch no more because OF
shooting pains in his LETT arm. me
mains of Yesterday were with the bat

famed on slow balls.
PAT Raglan was Mstty's opponent.
Shooting pains would never get Fat
into the papers. IN fact, practically no
space at all is reserved for accounts
OF his health Il may be said now
ever. that his insurance company need
not worry. Pat is thriving. HIS pitch.
inc was almost as good as that OF
Matty yesterday
Raglan was not very much OF

hut as a Bostonian he has shone con-
sistentlv. As the hard determinists
maintain. environment seems 10 De
everything.
Fitzpatrick was the predestined agent
Of Ragan's defeat. IL was his error
which permitted the winning run 10
come across the plate IN the eleventh
inning. Fletcher. the first batter,
ramnted single 20 centre. Davey Rob-
ertson was sent up 10 sacrlnce, but he
did better than that. So deft was Da-
vev's buut that he reached hrSt safely
Nerkle continued the tapping attack
and almost beat out thrust along the
third base line. Il went for sacr!hce.
Eddie Grant. who already had three
hits 70 his credit, smacked the bal!
sharply TO Fitzpatrick II bounded
suuarely into the hands Of the second
bascman and c8rromed out again; by
the time Fitzpatrick had recovered the
ball Fletcher was on top OF the plate
Fitzpatrick threw 10 first and beat ms
man at that bag.
The play involved a nice scoring
point. Probably the majority recorded
the play as a felder's choice on the
ground that Fitzpatrick got a man at
first, and therefore made no error, but
as a matter Of fact. when the ball
reached Schmidt Fletcher had crossed
the plate and ended the game. The
page was turned and Fltzpatrcks
throw was left in the outer darkness
beyond the box score.
Boston's two runs came in the fourth,
when Smith doubled TO left and came
home on Magee's home run, which
barely cleared the right field wall Ma,
ranvlle followed with a single and
stole second, but got no further. These
three hits were the first safe drives
against Matty.
The Giants tied the score in the lat
ter half of the sourth Doyle singled
10 right and scored when Magee made
a mess Of Fletcher's single 70 centre:
Fletcher took second on the error, and
came across the plate on Merkle's
single 10 left.
Matty depended for the most part on
a slow, wide breaking curve, but he
turned on a bit of speed now and
again. A crowd Of $4,000 or more ap-
plauded him The king is not dead
In fact. he hasn't even got shooting
pain. Long live the king.
JEFF Tesre4u, prince Of whales, ruled
the Braves in every inning Of the sec
ond game but one. jeff is more than

wasn't the humidity, but the fact that
JEFF was compelled TO show activity on
the bases as well as in the box. Upon
one occasion he drove a home run to
deep centre field. but was out IN try
ing to stretch IL 10 double.
Robertson's single and errors by
Smith and Meanwhile gave the Giants
two runs In the fourth. Whaling's
double. singles by Tyler and FitZpat-
rick and Connolly's triple allowed Bos-
ton 70 score three times in the fifth.
The Giants took the lead IN the sixth,
when they scored three times. The
factors were Fletcher's single, pass
20 Robertson, Merkle's sacrifice and
singles by Brainerd, Meyers and les
reau.
A dirigible few over the field.
Schmidt spiked his wrist Some folks
thought that Smith tried TO spike
Brainerd and Johnny Evers had a
wordy war with boxful Of spectators.
Otherwise things were about the same
