MATTY FAILED GIANTS
IN MOST CRUCIAL TILT
Cubs Hit Big Si1 for -Four
Runs in One Inning of
BasebaWs Most Vital
Game

THERE have been crucial games and
crucial games in baseball, but the
word never crowned a situation more
fitting than the battle between, the
Cubs and the Giants on October g.,
1908.
The National League championship
hinged on the outcome of the struggle.
That alone was enough to make It :!cru-
cial, but important incidents preceding
the game made it all the more "cru-
cial"
The title would have been won on
September % by the Giants had it not
been for the famous Merkle bone. when
the young New York first baseman neg
lected to touch second and the hair
trigger brain of Johnny Evers swung
into action.
The game on September 23 was de-
clared IL tie and ordered replayed
on the day after the regular season
closed. But in the meantime the Pirates
had to be fought off by the Cubs to
prevent the Pittsburgh Club from land
ing the pennant.
The crucial game attracted the larg-
est crowd that had seen a ball game
in New York up to that time. It was
estimated that close to 30 900 persons
were within the park and as many out
side.
Christy Mathewson, the New York
master who had won thirty seven CON
tests during the season. was called
upon to swing the championship othe
Giants. but the Cub machine was more
than an equal for Big Six and Frank
Chances club won. 42.
New York met its Waterloo in the
third inning. Joe Tinker. the Chicago
shortstop. opened the third against
Matty, and tripled. He scored mo
ment later on Kings warm single to
center. Brown sacrificed, Tenney un-
assisted, and Sheckard hoisted to Sey-
mour for the second out.
But the real fireworks started after
that. Evers walked and Schultz shot
a hot single past DeNkn, King scoring
and Johnny taking third. Chance then
broke up the game for his team with a
double to right, sending in Evers and
Schultz with the third and fourth runs
of the inning. Matty then settled and
famed Steinfeldt.
But the damage was dane. Those
four runs were enough for victory.

PENN MAY CHOOSE
GRID COACH FRIDAY
FoIwelI and Buck Wharton Are
Leading Candidates for
1920 Football Post

Penn's 1920 coach will be made
known Friday afternoon. This much
information was CLEANED yesterday,
from the sphinx like sources OF
news at the University.
The meeting Of the football solons is
expected to be a stormy one, as it is
generally known there is considerable
opposition among the members over the
coaching problem. Folwell still has his
hackers. while several other coaching
possibilities are said to have sufficient
strength to change the present aspect,
which appears to be all Folwell, Among
Folwell's opponents for the head coach
ship is Charles Buck Wharton.
The council also appoints the football
committee for next season. and it is ru :
mored that as a result of the profession
alism of two players last season new
faces will be seen on the 1870 com
mittee.
Joe Wright, coach of the Red and
Blue crews, was expected to arrive in
this city this afternoon to get his many
candidates started on the indoor ma
chimes. More than 100 oarsmen have
signed up for the water sport, and will
be given daily drill indoors by Wright.
Fucker, who broke his ankle during
the first nights scrimmage of the bas-
ketball team in November. returned to
the squad last night for the first time
since his injury. He was not permitted
to engage in scrimmage. 1t is expected
that after two weeks of work he will
be made first substitute of the quintet.
-. Passon, former Southern High
School basketball star, was chosen cap
tain of the freshman quintet yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the yearlings.
Passon is one of the speediest forwards
in McNichol's large squad.

Scott to Call for Conferences
With AS Leader Within
Few Days

Scott Perry, Connie Mack's wayward
pitcher. is about to make peace with
his former boss.
Word comes from Franklin, Pa. that
the big right handler will leave within
the next few days to have conferences
with Mack in this city concerning his
1920 contract. 1t is understood that
they have agreed on terms through tho
mail. ..-
Mack would not comment on the Perry
case other than to say that il Perry
would call, he would slip him the glad
mitt. or words to that effect.
Perry turned his back on the AS and
big league baseball in the latter part OF
last season. He deserted the Mackmen
to take UP twirling duties with the
Franklin, Pa, club. Last fall he went
into the tailoring business in Franklin
and was said to be prospering
Either the business is not flourishing
or the lure of the big hunt is too strong

Germantown is the first team in the
Eastern Basketball League to complete
its twenty games in the first half sched"
ule, and its victory over Reading last
night insures the Dennis -Poth combina-
ton of at least ending the half in a
tie. To equal Germantown in the
standing, De Neri must win over Tren-
ton on Friday and Camden Saturday.
One defeat will give Germantown sole
possession of the runner-up position.

of any players this season.
