1T is baseball tradition the team

emerges victorious. That explains
why the players are under SUCH a
mental strain in the opening OF any
big series. The big stakes and the
Importance Of the game have a ten
dency to make the players tighten
up and. Therefore, not do their best.
In the flrsts game of the 1912 Sc
ries Joe Wood, then an outstanding
star Of the American League, went
into the last half of the ninth in
mig with his club holding a 4-3
lead over the Giants. McGraW's
club, in an effort to avert defeat,
staged desperate rally. In the
tvinkling OF an eye Wood found
runners on second and third and
only one man out.
The game was played at New
York and at this stage the Gotham
fans we're rsving mad. 1t sure was
n ticklish situation for the great
Wood.
A base hit meant two runs and
the ball game for New York and
terrific setback for the Boston
Red SOx. Wood, the ace of the
Boston staff, had been started to
get the edge in the series.
