New York, Oct. 6.-When Umpire
Hildebrand called the second game
of the world series tie at the end
of the 10th inning he did not estab-
lish a precedent as some seemed to
think. He did change the possible
ties of the series to an extent
which must be determined by that
which follows. 1t may be consid-
cradle change and it may not
amount to much.
While the Yankees do not win
this particular second game, the
carrying over of it seems to be to
their benefit rather than the Giants.
The Yankees came from behind and
STAYED off defeat. The Giants lost
what looked for some time like q
victory.
One victory and one tie is far
from being as good as two victories
and no tie. yet it seemed as If the
Giants very gladly ran from the
| field when the announcement was
made. Perhaps they thought their
presumably weak pitching staff
would be better assisted by the alb
rupt ending Of the contest than the
Yankees much boosted strong
pitching staff.
In 1907 there was a to tie be-
tween Chicago and Detroit in the
opening game Of the series. Chi
cago won the next day. The tie
was in ~ innings. In 1912 there
was a tie at Boston between New
York and Boston in IL innings at
6 to 6. New York won the next
day, to L. In one other instance
the home team won the play-off
after the tie and in the other in
stance it was the visiting team that
was successful.
The Giants were the visiting team
Thursday and there is no prece-
dent by which they may be said to
have any unusual advantage over
their rivals when the game is play
