TESREAU GIANTS'
KING PIN, SMS
JOE TINKER
Philadelphia, sept. 24.
Joe Tinker, Cub shortstop, the
one man who has always been
a thorn in the side of the Giants,
finds it hard work to pick the win
ner of the coming world's series.
•'Luck may cut a big figure in
those games." said Tinker, "and >f
McGraw has a fair share of it, or a
shade, the Giants may turn the
trick. But they will have to play
steadier and more aggressive ball
than they have shown against the
Cubs this year. I have not seen
the Red Sox. consequently I am not
in a position to say much a limit
them, but it's practically a sure
thing that their pitchers, especially
Joe Wood, are going to bother the
Giants a whole lot.
"Tesreau will be the Giants' king
pin You can bet on that. He’s a
t eproduction of Ed Walsh, of the
White Sox, in physique, courage
and delivery, though, of course, lie
liu k s Walsh's confidence and ex
perience. But Tesreau’s spitball is
a wonder, for you can't hit it even
when you think you know Just how
it is going to cross the plate Speed
is everything, and when coupled
with the moist fling you’re up
against it.
"it wouldn't surprise me a bit to
see Matty at his best. The vet
eran always seems to be there in a
pinch He's got the head and the
nerve, also the knowledge, even if
he goes not possess the great speed
of former year*.
"Marquard has a weakness which
he can’t overcome. He can not hide
his delivery By that I mean that
it is possible to tell by the way he
holds the ball whether he intends
to use a curve or a fast shoot. I
told McGraw about this defect be
fore the world’s series last year,
but Mac said it didn't matter. The
Athletics, however, got the hang of
Marquard just because th< \ watch
ed him narrowly The Rube also
lost the Jump on his fast ball. 1
don't know the reason for it. but it
is true nevertheless, and he’ll be
handicapped because of it
“There's another thing about the
Giants that we have noticed They
seem to stand still too much That
is to say. they don’t pull together
enough when the pace is hot We
have won the series from them
Just because we have excelled them
in this respect We are going to
pull for the Giants against the
Red Sox because wi are National
leaguers, heart and soul, but Mc-
Graw’s men. we fear, may not be
able to make enough runs to help
out their pitching staff . Still the
series doesn't look like a sure thing
for either team, and, as I said be
fore, if McGraw gets a few good
breaks in the luck New York imn
prove victorious Let us hope so
anyway."

Fred Lake's Story of 1909 Sox-Giants Series
.{.*4. 4-»+ -F«4- 4-«4-
Ex-Boston Manager Describes Third Battle
' ■■ -By FRED LAKE
fp HE third game of the Red Sox
s Giants inter-city series was played
in Boston. New England baseball
lovers were given a rare opportunity to
see the team that had routed the Giants
in the second battle at the Polo grounds.
■ McGraw’s men put up a desperate
fight, but once again they were van
quished. Score: Red Sox 5. New York
4. The game was played on a diamond
which had been made slow and slippery
by rains The contest itself was not u
brilliant one, but there were plenty of
. thrills which kept the fans on edge.
The Red Sox had a lead of 4 to I
when the Giants came to bat tn the
ninth inning. Charley Hall, who had
’ pitched airtight ball up to this stage of
I the game, became as wild as a hawk
and before things had quieted down
! the Giants had tied up the score.
> Mct'onnell was the first man up for
us in the ninth and he ingloriotisly
, fanned. Harry Lord made a desperate
effort to knock the ball out of the lot,
1 but his beat effort was a high fly w hich
Mct'orniick gathered in.
i , With two down in the ninth and none
■ on. it looked vert much like extra in-
■ nings It was late in October and the
sun was low in the western sky. J
feared that the game would be called
inside of an Inning or two, with the
score a tie.
Tris Wins the Game.
It was Speaker's turn at bat. Ths
i young Texan slowly walked to the
I plate, swinging three heavy bats. Tris
I had done some wonderful batting and
fielding in the first two games of the
series, but had not got a single hit in
• the third game. "Spoke” was uncon
cerned and watched Crandall like a
hawk as he sent a couple of fast ones
J sizzling across the rubber.
Tris finally picked to his
( liking. Bang! Crash! Ash and horse
t hide met and the ball sailed toward
■ right field. McCormick made a great
effort to catch the elusive sphere, but
he failed and the ball rolled to the
; i right field fence.
- i The Giants' outfielder started in pur-
I suit while Speaker started to circle the
s i bases with the speed of a young deer.
’I McCormick got the ball as Tris neared
1 , third and threw it to Larry Doyle, who
I had gone to short right field.
Tris increased his speed and literally
. flew around the bases. Doyle relayed
j the hall to Crandall, who tossed it to
i Schlei. Rut it was too late. Speaker
l( | had beaten the throw and victory was
l> ours.
v This gave proven that we were better
i hitters than the Giants. \Ve gathered
ten hingles off Amos and Crandall,
t i while the Giants got but seven hits off
G ; Charley Hall.
t j ,de<'onnell's fielding was one of the
t t features of the game. Amby made
| three putouts and accepted four diftl

\Ve scored our first run in the open

ticket to first,base. Lord laid a pretty
bunt down the first base line. Merkle
fielded the hit. but lie threw wild to
Ames, who was covering the bag. Mc-
Connell took third on the play and
scored a minute later on Speaker's out.
French scored another run in the
second. With one out, he singled and
stole second as Hooper fanned. Hall
then brought him home with a fine base
hit.
New York got busy in the third and

was the first man up and he singled.
Hall was unable to locate the plate for
Seymour and he was presented with

that McCormick could do was to lift a

Murray lifted a high fly to Hooper.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE WILL
CONVENE DECEMBER 15
LITTLE HOCK. ARK . Sept 24. The
regular fall meeting of the Southern
league directors will be held in Birming
ham December 15.
There are several interesting subjects
to he discussed, principal of which is the
salary and player limit.
The Red Sox got busy with the war
club in the sixth inning and sent two
more men across the plate. Harry Niles
started the run making with a single.
French hit sharply to Ames. He tossed
the ba'H to Merkle, but the latter lost it
in the sun and Niles scored all the way
from first when the ball rolled to the
bleachers, while French took second on
the play. Hooper was not to be out
done by his mates and he singled, scor
ing French.
Giants Tie Up Score.
Hall took a balloon ascension in the
ninth inning and before things had
quieted down the Giants had tied up
the score. Larry Doyle, the head of
the batting list, was the first man up
and he was walked by Hall. Seymour
made a mighty effort to do some ex
ecution and slammed the ball to deep
center field, where Speaker gathered
it in.
McCormick refused to aim at any
bad ones and was rewarded with a
base on balls. Doyle put the Giants in
the running when he stole third, much
to the chagrin of my boys.
Hall could not get them ove: for
Murray, but he did not pass him. "Red”
tried to duck one of Charley’s fast
shoots, but in so doing he hit the ball
weakly to Hall. The latter threw' to
Stahl, who lost the ball in the sun, like
Merkle had done in the sixth, and
Doyle scored. McCormick scored a
minute later on a balk, while Devlin
tied up the game by smashing out a
rattling good single, which brought
Murray home.
Then came the ninth, when Tris
Speaker's big bat broke up the game
as was described above.
Sox Better Hitters.
The first three games of the series
proved conclusively that we were every
bit as good a fielding team as the
Giants and that we had a little on them
when it came to hitting.
The New York mound artists were
supposed to be in a class by them
selves. Before the series opened crit
ics had claimed that Mathewson and
Marquard would prove a puzzle to the
Red Sox hitters, while Crandall, Ames
and VViltse would also cover themselves
with glory.
The Red Sox of 1909 were a young
team. Few- of the men had had a great
deal of experience in the big league,
but they all knew- how to play ball and
were also true fighters.
After the third game the series stood
2 to 1 in our favor, but well we knew
that we would have to face Christy
Mathewson on the m^frow. The New
York players felt confident that "Big
Six was unbeatable, but somehow' or
other I felt that this mtgnty heaver was
going to meet his Waterloo, in the
next article I will show how Ray Col
lins, then fresh from college, lowered
the colors of the greatest pitcher in the
business.

The New York Giants still need four

Billy Smith, the popular
manager of the Atlanta
baseball club, has induced Clark
Gliffith to turn First Baseman Joe
Agler back to the Crackers, Griff
will not even give Agler a tryout
in the spring.
Gandil has played such swell ball
for the Senators that Agler really
didn't have a chance here. It is
understood in baseball circles in
this city that Griffith simply bought
the Southern league first sacker to
protect Billy Smith, who is a life
long pal of the "Old Fox.” It was
a cinch had not the "sale” been
made that some other major league
club would have drafted Agler.
Atlanta is now assured of a cork

on first, Alperman at second. Smith
at third and Harbison (he is al
most sure to come back for an
other year's seasoning) at short
will form an inner works that w ill
be second to none in the Southern
circuit.
In case Harbison does make good
with the New York team. Smith
has a rope out for another cork

And it is just possible that if
Harbison does return he will be
placed in Centerfield. He really be
