tLey pI2CLlcdilV captured lue CidtIl
the least whit doubtful that they will
this afternoon.
Wen win the series and it won't<
be necessary to play the ninth game
either" was the way they put it. Now
that we have beaten Mays again we are
bound TO take the championship. Well
win again tomorrow 10 matter whom
higgins sends against US. Il Hoyt
goes to the mound Wen obtain ample
revenge for the two defeats that he
handed us earlier IN the series. We are
now well accustomed to Hoyts style
Of pitching and we feel absolutely GER
tain that we will beat him tomorrow"
/ Manager McGraw was in Il jubilant
mood after the game and he fully ex-
poets MS players TO wind up the series
to-day. II am quite proud of my boys
and their showing II the series to
date" said McGraw. They are one Of
the gamest sets of fellows that | have
ever had under my management In
! victory or defeat they Will never quit
hustling until the last man is out
They deserve much credit for their
work in the series so far, because in
/ four OF the games they have come
!
we'll deserved victories.
Wards Error Helps
"Ip winning to-day the boys played
splendidly and took advantage of every
opportunity that was offered. OF course.
Wards error helped US to score the
winning run, but that's all in the game.
I think that we would have won any
how. Douglas was IN great form again
to-day and he fully justified my ex-
/ pectations. His work in his three starts
against the Yankees ranks among the
best pitching that has ever been dis
played in a worlds series. Phil IS
lard worker and he is willing to take
another fling a. the Yankees il | find
it necessary TO call upon him again.
| Barnes would certainly Ike to go back
TO the mound tomorrow, but ! hardly
think that l Will use him. In case it
: is necessary TO play ninth game-but
| do not think that it Will bel viii
have Barnes and Douglas ready for
! the deciding contest. Ny pitcher in the
next game Will be Nehf. Shea or Sallee.
My final choice viii probably be Nehf,
but do not be surprised if we pin our
hopes in Shea. The youngster is in great
shape and is aching for chance to
prove his worth. 1t may come TO him
tomorrow"
- tiANAt was any Uitc pay lilsl offt
Yesterdays game for the Giants il was
Irish Meuse's great throw in the third
| inning. which cut down Chick Few
ster at second base. Douglas was IN
steady in the first three innings, but
the play gave him renewed courage and
thereafter he pitched as we'll as be ever
pitched before. Fewster came 10 the
bat in the third with none out, and be
drove the ball along the left field foul

4 two o-bagger, but Meusel, who is re-
putcd to have q very weak arm, recov-
cred the bail and then nailed the
youngSter with a perfect throw to Ban
croft. That throw broke the backbone
of the Yankees offensive efforts and
for the remainder Of the gamo they
were quite helpless before the pitching
| Of Douglas.
Douglas Sow to Start
Shufflin' Phil did not get off TO his
usual good start yesterday and he
could put little "stuf" on the bali dur
ing the first three innings. II the
fourth. however, he found himself and
equalled his two previous performances
OF the series He again had the same
fast ball and The same deceptive curve
that checked the Yankees in Sundays
I game. Only once did he temporarily
lose his control, and that was in the
eighth inning, when he passed Miller
/ after the count had reached three and
two. 1t was the first base OF balls that
Douglas had given in TWO games. That
momentary lapse caused 10 damage,
I however, as there were two out at the
time and Bob Meusei, the next batter,
went out ON q grounGor 20 Bancroft
Douglas was in rather ticklish situa-
ton in the seventh inning, when the
Yankees had men or second and third
as the result OF two singles and
passed ball, which, by the way, the
official scorers called a wild pitch, but
the tall right handler frightened up and
retired the side.
Bob Meusel, one OF the most notori-
Gus members of the so-called "Mur-
derers' Row. was pathetically weak
before the offerings of Douglas and
only once did he drive the ball out
OF the infield. That WAS in the six6n
inning, wnen he went out on q fy to
Young. MeuseI swung wildly B Doug
lass wide sweeping curves aud he
generally missed them by considerable
margin. On his other three trips 70
the plate the big outhelde- grounded
TO the box, struck out and rolled TO
Bancroft.
Praise Quigley's Work
With the exception OF his muff o. q
pitch in the seventh inning, which per-
mitted Schang TO take second with
Baker already on third, Frank Snyder
again distinguished himself behind
the bat. As in previous games Of the
series, he handled the pitching OF
Douglas in faultless style and the vic
tory was due in a great measure to
his catching as well as to his slashine
two Dagger. which sent in the winning
run. Snyder is now leading the regu
lars of both teams in batting With
the splendid average Of 400.
1t might be noted that the umpiring
