BY JOHN J. M'CRAW,
Manager of the Giants.

7 MUST admit that / am greatly disappointed over
the result of the opening game, but defeat
the first day does not mean defeat in the series.
l am confident that will win this series. Every
thing broke for the Yankees to-day, and the Giants
did not play their game They did not quite rise
to the occasion in the field and they certainly fell
down with the bat 1t was day such as I feared
and such followed most of our days of idleness
during the season. Every time we got day off
the team to slump. But it always came
back strong. So look out for the Giants to-
morrow.
Douglas pitched good ball-that one conso-
lation. And Mays did not deserve a shutout.
There lot of little things here and there which
would have changed that game Immediately, but
they did not come way. And we are not going
to cry about it.
The boys little short in pepper, but they
fought gamely-as they fought all through the
hard season. That team of ours is great and
powerful one. It's one Of the greatest which ever
played in world series and it is going to make
lot of trouble for the Yankees. am not in posi-
tion to affirm the supposition that will use Nehf
tomorrow.

Yankees Upset Rivals With Speed -Huggins
Giants Did Not Play Their Game-McGraw
BY MILLER HUccINs.
Manager Of the Yankees.

OUR club played great game and with remark
able pitching by Carl Mays and brilliant defen-
sive work by Peckinpaugh, who played the game Of
his career, we clearly had the edge. The boys were
in there fighting hard-determined to win-and
they showed lot of stuff which the general public
probably thought they could not fash. They had
not only ability to hit and fine pitching but they
had speed than the fastest club in the National
League.
The Giants played ine game, and Douglas de-
serves lot of credit, but they simply could not
hit Mays, and simply would not be beaten.
want to give credit to Frisch. had heard lot
about him, but he certainly astonished me to-day.
He is q great natural hitter and streak on the
bases We will have to look out for that boy all
the way.
In some particulars the Giants did not come up
to our expectations. But were prepared for
them no matter what sort Of generalship they
adopted. We our way and we will not be
stopped. Who will pitch tomorrow? Well, prefer
to keep that information to myself.
