to come back and beat us again on
Well win the worlds championship i,
Manager McGraw declared that hej
was not only pleased because his play
ers gained another victory, but that he
was also highly elated because they
came from behind for the third time in
the series to gain the decision.
"The boys got off TO a poor start to-
day" said McGraw, but they proved
their gameness again by coming from
behind and winning. Nobody can deny
that | have a fighting bunch. They
have displayed that quality in their
three victories of the series to date
have said from the beginning that l
expected them to win and | still have
the same opinion. | have always said
better team and for that reason we
Will win.
May Go Nine Games
at may possibly go nine games. but
we Will be victorious in the end. ]
really think that we will take the next
two games and that the eighth game
will be the last Of the series. We ought
to drive Mays from the box if he works
against US tomorrow and | do not
think that Hoyt can stop the boys again
He pitched we'll in those two games.
l'll admit that without hesitation, but
the players are getting accustomed to
has style of pitching and | expect them
tc beat him the next time he stats.
was again disappointed over the fail
ure of Fred Toney, for the big fellow
is hard. sincere worker, but he
simply could not hit his normal stride.
| When at his top form Toney ranks
among the most effective pitchers in the
major leagues. 1t is too bad that he
could not get off to a good start.
Il can not say too much in praise
of Jess Barnes, who pitched one of
the greatest games of his career He
had everything great speed, puzzling
change Of pace and one of the most
! deceptive curve balls | have ever seen.
The most remarkable part of Barness
pitching in the series was his great
reversal of form, for during the season
ne showed up rather poorly. Both Of
his performances ranks among the best
that have ever been displayed in worlds
series games. To me his work has been
one of the most pleasing features of
our clashes with the Yankees.
If Toney had lasted through the en-
tire game to-day | had intended to
pitch Barnes tomorrow, but now, of
course, / will have to change my plans.
| still have four pitchers whom ! can
send against the Yankees in the next
game-namely. Douglas. Nehf, Shea and
Sallec. My final choice for to-mor-
rows contest probably will lie between
Douglas and Shea. Phil has bad cold
and will have to consult a doctor to-
night, but if he is in shape he will be
our next pitcher, and | am certain that
he Will duplicate his performance of
Sunday. Nehf needs another day of
rest, and from present indications he
Will be on the mound in the eighth
game. Nehf is certainly due to win, as
he flashed some splendid pitching in
mis- first two starts"
Jess PIeases SNYDER
None of the Giants was more pleased
over the work of Barnes thana Frank
Snyder, the big catcher, whose work in
the series has been of the highest
character. Jess was in great form to-
day said Snyder. His curve ball was
beauty. Hg cot tough break in the
second inning when Fewstcr hit his
after that he was unbeatable. 1t is
quite feat for any pitcher to hurl
winning ball in worlds series game,
but when he goes into the box after
the other fellows already have started
to clout the ball and then flashes a
/ performances such as Barnes displayed
to-day he deserves a world of credit
In addition to Waite Hoyt, who has
scored two victories over the Giants.
Barnes is real pitching hero of the
! series. Barnes was more or less off
! color during the regular season, and
before the opening of the series it was
whispered about that the tall right
hander would not start a game. That
prediction has proved to be quite true
50 far, but Barnes has twice been
rushed to the rescue of the battered
Ioney and, with the Giants trailing
their rivals, he has twice breezed
through to brilliant victories. Barnes
has truly flashed one of the most note
worthy comebacks ever seen in
worlds series.
Chick Fewster, who broke into the
series as regular for the first time
yesterday. had q big advantage in that
the Giants had never seen him in ac-
ton before and consequently did not
Know just how to pitch to the young
ster. Fewster caught hold of a high
fast ball in the second inning and
drove 1t into the left field beachers,
but thereafter he met with no CON
spicuous success at the bat. although
ne drew base on balls in his next
trip to the plate.
The downfall of Fred Toney was
brought about by his fatal mistake in
pitching to Aaron Ward in the first
inning. Ward is generally very weak
against curve ball pitching, but Toney
served up a slow one to him squarely
over the plate and the youngster drove
out single that brought in two runs.
Umpirng Below Par
For the most part the umpirinc in
the series has been far below the usual
standard. Rigler was very bad behind
the plate in Mondays game. but
Moriarty was worse yesterday. The
players of both teams frequently com
planned over the latter's decisions on
balls and strikes and they generally
seemed to be justified in their pro
tests. Whenever Moriarty made a mis-
take he appeared TO even Things up
