The Washington times., 1915-10-14

"Did Carrisan pan Gainor when he
went to the bench?" a friend OF mine
asked me last night.
I'VE don't pan guys In worlds
SERIES" I told him.
"we all clapped Gainor on the back
when he came to the bench"
That is the spirit the Boston club
showed all through the series. and
every man pulled for the team. We
were working together. 1t resulted In
four finely played games. Mathewson
came down to the hotel where we were
stopping to congratulate us.
You're an oid-timer. Matty." I said.
did you ever see four better played or
better pitched games than the first four
Of this series?'
II never did" answered the big
pitcher.
During the game yesterday Bill KLEIN
was handed a telegram. When I was
pr<paring this story. my boss said to
me:
What did that telegram say that was
handed to Klein ON the field today and
| held up the game?'
, II don't KNOW" | replied.
You are poor reporter" he said.
NO" told him. Il asked Klein. but
he just said II wasn't anything much"
1t Ii an unusual thing to deliver a
telegram during a big league ball game
OF any Kind. not alone a worlds series
| scrap.
1t Is figured that the news may upset
ball player or umpire. They won't
allow the players on the Red Sox to
take them after they put on their uni
forms. Therefore. ! thought there must
be something important in II. Whatever
II Aad. KLEIN did not seem to be as
| sure or himself as usual during the next
few innings. There may be good
story In that telegram.
The Phillies must have read Christy
Mathewson's story the way they went
AFTER us yesterday. Fosters curve ball
was not breaking as well as on Satur-
day. especially when he had to work a
new Dali. as he did frequently, but no
pitched a magnificent game with both
MS head and his heart. We all had
trouble with Rixey after he went into
the hoX: especially We left-handed hit
teTs. SHe had a good deal of stun.
what he lacked was control. He both
| cred us good deal. Foster was the
man on the bench who could not see
! Anything but victory. even though we
were two runs behind on two separate
and distinct occasions. When Rixey
was travelling so smoothly he said, in.
ming after inning:
Just get me some runs and tie Il
up and We will win. We can get this
' fellow. He doesn't know whether he
stop"
| Then Foster went up there and stuns
| OUT a hit himself the only one made
after Rixey took the box In the third
inning until our cleanup In the eighth
=. and ninth innings.
| The Phillics were out there to sur
prise us yesterday and got their first
two runs by using the hit and run. A

soup to us. He didn't have the stun
he carried on Saturday. and I was sur.
prised Moran left him In as long as HI
did.
want to call to the attention OF

using his head all the way. Up until
yesterday the Phillies had been playing
the old army game all the way. max
ing everything safe and making SURE
of one man instead OF trying for double
plays. on which they ran the risk o
losing both men. Yesterday they wer,
trying for everything and taking
chances.
It was team against the wall taking
chances. As soon MS we saw the switch
we at once played for II. Heretofore
