BED SOX ON EDGE. SAYS BACKSTOP CARDIGAN By Bill Carrigan. Star catcher of the Red S°x, who will report the World's Series for The Georgian. BOSTON, Oct. 7.—Some com ment has been made’ in news, papers about the game the Red Sox have been playing in the past three weeks and folloxvers of baseball may gather from it that the pennant winners are not the fast team they appeared to be. be cause of the slower quality of baseball they have been putting up since they cinched the flag This is wrong. Just before we made victory certain we slowed up purposely because Jake Stahl, who lias been so successful a lead ■ er from start to finish, wanted his men to get out of the stress of a fust campaign, rest up. avoid in juries and point themselves to one thing—the beating of the Giants. The game we have played since then can not be taken as any in dication whatever of what the Red Sox can do and will do when they are tailed upon. Os course, we had Io play out our schedule and keep fairly ac tive. but the team lias not tight ened up out e since the pennant was sure, and it will not do so uni 11 we get Into next week's games. Must Avoid Injuries. It wouldn’t take much to crip ple either Hie Red Sox or the Giants and put either team out of the run ning in such a short series as the , world's championship contest is. , The loss of one matt for a week . might decide the championship.

Oct. 7.—Ten • thousand rabid fans battled • for an opportunity to secure • the first of the precious tickets of- • set ed for tlie w orld's series struggle • when the ticket sellers threw up * their tiny windows at 9 o'clock this morning. So desperate were they e in their struggle to secure the • pasteboards that the large force • of policemen on hand had to c draw their clubs and fairly beat • the mob into a line that stretched a far down Eighth avenue. a only 4,000 $3 tickets were of- a sered for sale today. a All the oilier high-priced duedts a had been disposed of to friends of a the players, newspaper men, mag- a nates from all the leagues of any a consequence this side of the Pacific a ocean, members of the national « commission and the pillars of the 4 national pastime hereabouts. t At sunset yesterday there were a fully 300 fans vamped without the a historic Polo grounds. They brought a vamp stools, heavy blankets and a overcoats, in their pockets were a packages of eatables, and one man < even brought along an oil stove , on which lie made coffee. At mid- , night the assemblage had swelled , to fully 1.000. They fought for 4 positions in line until Anally an ( extra force of police were rushed ( to the park to keep order. ( At daybreak wealthy fans, many ( of them in high-priced automobiles. ( arrived and offered the all-night , vigilants fancy prices for their po- ( sitions In the line. Many of all- , nighters had figured on this, and as , a result are feeding their long hungry stomachs today as never , before. One man. about tenth in line, a seedy looking individual, shaking from the cold night air which pierv ed through his worn out light, summer serge, was given SSO for his place by a prqjnlnent Wall Street broker, who in turn left his chauf feur to wait until the windows opened. Many Women in Line. Among those in the line were a numbet of out-of-town people who. upon arriving here, hail rushed from the railroad station to the Polo grounds There were about a dozen women who had defied the night dampness and cold to be among the first in line. A small riot btoke out about a half hour befo e the sale, when two women rushed up and tried to get Into the line near its head, thus taking advantage of the thousands who had stood holding their places throughout the time. Police Drive Women Away. Throw them out'." "Get tlie hock! " and other unv omplimentary language was hurled at the women. Men near the women tried to piisii them out of line and the disorder was becoming general when half a dozen policemen interfered and drove the women awav Despite the discomfort, the crowd was good natured throughout the night and the twenty policemen on duty itavl little to do Between 7 and S o'clock the police force was augmented to 100. Hawkers did 8 land office busi ness during the eatly morning hours selling camp stools, soap boxes, "hot dogs" and lemonade, t'atnp stoo's brought ns high as It apiece, while a few buys with well vievelapevl commercial instincts sold their places near the head of the procession The cold gray dawn found a line of anxious fan- stretching up Eighth avenue to 157th street and view n Broadwav t<• 149th street.

A dozen or more at tacked the wagon and drank all th* milk they wanted, then paid the driver what they thought the re freshment was worth. It got pretty chilly in the early mottling and several bonfires were started, but the policemen on duty put out the fires. The most determined woman In tlie line was Miss Jennie Smith, who eaid sue lived in Willoughby avenue. Brooklyn She appeared about 2 o'clock with a soap box. tbok a desirable position and sat down to wait the intervening seven hours until the ticket booths were opened. She declared she was go ing to see every game. At 6 o'clock a policeman watched her place for her w nile she got her breakfast and the male fans loudly cheered her for her pluck when she re turned. Emil Pollock, a cripple, of 245 Seventh avenue, stood in line ten hours on bis crutches to get tick ets He was nearly exhausted when he got a chance to rest, but was still game. "I'd stand In line for two weeks, if necessary ' he said. Girl in Line Never Saw Game. Miss Bessie Brady aged IS. of 59 Southern boulevard, who lias nevet seen a baseball game, arrived at daw n. At fl 30 a. tn . Mr and Mrs. G. M. Mclntyre, of 325 West Twenty-third street, arrived ami took their places.

He also had dashed to the Polo grounds upon his arrival here. Shortly after 3 o’clock, some body pipped up "Everybody's Doin' It,” and many joined in. The policemen did not make any effort to stop the singing, so when the first song was sung somebody proposed another. Police lines were formed along Broadway and Eighth avenue, and a district was held open to pre vent "flying wedge" tactics and rough work. Hard on Speculators. Although the baseball officials had made every effort to prevent tickets falling into the hands of speculators, there were many boys in line whose presence was suspi cious. It was believed that specu lators had hired these boys to buy tickets, which will be resold along Btoidway tonight and outside of the park tomorrow Only two tickets weie allowed to each person. In the mile long hu man lines were many famous Bow - ery characters. They were there to secure tickets for speculators, but many of them were spotted early and their money refused. For the first time in the history of world s series, it looked as though the tick et vendors, the pests who for years have "stuck up" the public, were going to be cheated out of making any money. At any rate, the paste- - boards that do find their way into their hands will not be anywhere near as many as on previous occa sions. Tomorrow morning at 8 o clock the sale of admission tickets will begin. It is figured that ten thou sand fans, many of them nearly starved by saving from their scant earnings enough to secure a dollar ticket, will encamp outside the grounds tonight. But it will not be a more rabid mob than that whi h spent such an uncomfortable night last night Red Sox Back at Even. | Now that the hour is practically a i hand, the odds on the result of the games are at evens. In Bos ton. w here there was never such enthusiasm, the Red Sox are the favorites at 10 to 9. but here in New York nothing but even money prevails. The change from the Red Sox being almost the universal choice to the Giants, showing the confidence of the baseball public, has been brought about by the ap parent return of Marquard to his winning form of the early season, as evidenced by his box work in his last few games, and Tesreau's continued successful pitching. On Saturday several of the New 1 Yorkers made wagers at even mon ey and big bets, too, that the Giants would win tlie series, and also gave odds of 10 to 8 that Ma thewson would win his first game, even if opposed to the much touted Joe Wood. Looks Like "Big Six." Mathewson has been kept on the shelf by McGraw, ami it looks now as if "Big Six" will have the honor of pitching the first game, but Mc- Graw is nothing if not resourceful, ami he may work Tesreau in the initial contest, with Matty held in reserve sot tlte second game, which will be played in Boston. Wood will surely pilch tlie open er sot Boston, with Collins slated fin the sev ond fray. As the time approav lies sot the big show. Interest is at fever heat. There seemed to be less interest here in New York over the series during the last week than was man ifested the previous week, but to day tlte big city l.« just bubbling over with frothy excitement. In Boston there was never so much interest o'er any baseball I‘vrtit The whole of New England is at fevfr heat, and the entire list vxf tickets ha« been disposed of sot three tames, ami thousands and tho-.i’ands of nth* l « ate how I ng be. v au-v th*x can not be accommo dated IT’S A CINCH FDD RED SOX, SAYS HARRY LORD By Harry Lord. Captain of the White Sox. CHICAGO, Oct. 7. —There are so many reasons why the Red Sox should win the world's championship that if a man got a few dollars per reason he could quit rich. I'm not going to enumerate all of them. Just a few will suffice here. To begin with, the Red Sox have one of the greatest aggregations on the offense that was ever collected You can talk about the greatness of Tris Speaker with the war club until you tire and then never men tion lialf. It would be a good ball club if Speaker was the only fellow who could hit. But he isn't. There are about nine men in the line-up who can slug. 1 can't see any reason for com paring the offensive, strength of the two teams, for the reason that the Bostons so far outshadow their ri vals. Stahl has a better defensive strength, too. You may talk about the base running ability of the Giants, but it isn't going to show to any great extent. The Giants may be in the habit of taking ex tra bases on their hits in the Na tional league, but they do not when they go against the American league champions. That Boston outfield is one of the wonders of the baseball world, and if the Giants have any intention of taking two bases on long singles and three bases upon ordinary two baggers they might as well prepare for a bitter disappointment. Equal Only in Stealing of Bases. | You go up and down the line, and there is only one department of the game where 1 can figure the Giants the equal of the Rod Sox. That is in base stealing. It’s a well known fact in baseball that you have to get on first before you can steal second. That's one reason why the Giants will not run wild on the sacks —not enough of them will reach fl rst. x Then tlie Boston fellows have a much better catching staff than one figures. Carrigan can throw all right, and Cady is a comer. The Red Sox have a man in Wagner, however, who is such an artist in flagging the ambitious base runners that all the Sox catchers have to do is to throw fairly well. Wagner is one of the greatest in the business when it comes to get ting a thrown ball and putting it on the runner. A throw doesn't have to be perfect when he is tak ing it. All that it has tn be is in the general direction of second base. He'll do the rest. So where many clubs require star throwers, all the Red Sox need Is a fair pegger But Duffy Lewis is the fellow I pick to shine. I think he possesses the temperament of a man who is bound to show to advantage in such a game. Lewis is a man totally without nerves. The average player may fret for days before tlie big series opens, and then worry until it is over. Not l.ewis He isn't built that wax He comes as near being normal vv hen tiie stake is a great one ami xx hen a player is supposed to be under a terrific strain as any man I knoxx of Lewis Will Not Be Nervous. l.ewis js going io he just about as nervous when he saves the Giants as he was on the dax after the R--d Sox had the pennant clinched. And no one is going to argue that he was under any pal ticulai strain then SAM CRANE SAYS GIANTS EXCEL RED SOX f By Sam Crane. WHY all this clamor for the Red Sox? Don't be influenced by it. Even Christy Mathewson is so charry of his prediction on the coming series that he says the team that gets the "breaks" will win. H» also claims that the question of vic tory will hinge on managership, as between McGraw and Stahl, and that the Giants' manager will have the advantage on account of being a bench manager instead of a player manager as is Stahl. I agree with Christy in that, but Matty in his probable desire not to criticise any player, either a fellow or opponent, has steered away from the right dope. McGraw Knows Game Best. I will add to Matty’s idea by say. ing that McGraw knows more base ball than Jake Stahl, and on that account alone, the Giants have a better chance to win out than have the Red Sox. This, of course, is without taking into consideration the other points in which I think the Giants excel the Red Sox. But that handicap of McGraw- having a better lead for the game than my old friend Jake is going to carry- a whole lot of weight, and enough possibly to carry the Red Sox down tn defeat. It surely will, too, if both teams show themselves evenly matched otherwise. in offensive work I think the Giants are superior to their Boston friends the enemy. The New York ers are all of the McGraw- brand, with the exception of Matthewson. "Big Six” is the only player Mc- Graw- has on his team who was a Giant when McGraw took charge. But. as good as Matty was then, he has been more or less developed by McGraw. That is to say, Matty would not have been the pitcher he Is and was unless he had the ben efit of McGraw’s tutelage That, possibly, is a broad statement to make, but it goes, and Matty him self has acknowledged ft. Now, with an entire team of bl’ own making, imbued with the figh'- Ing spirit and system of team work that McGraw insists on. the natural conclusion to arrive at is that th* Red Sox. under Stahl, who virtu ally had a ready-made team at his disposal when he took charge, can not possibly be the. bseball ma chine that the Giants now are. Gisnt Machine Best. As 1 understand it. Wood and Speaker are considered the Rd Sox's whole team, or pretty near If that is so, then the American league champions are something like the Tigers when they were called a “two-man” team, wl’h Cobb and Craxvfotd as the gigantm pair. What the Cubs and Pirate" did to the Tigers in the world's ries Is a matter of history, an look for history to repeat itself in the coming series. The Athletics last year were unit as a team, but I doubt if ’ Red Sox will be. The Giant the contrary, are sure to be.
