XI. NO. 57. MATHEWSON IS STILL GOOD Manager McGraw sent Mathewson to the mound to pitch the second game of the world’s series, believing that the Giants’ chances of final victory depend on winning today. Despite the ravages of time, the once peerless “Matty” pitched a strong and nervy game, even though hit hard. WRBMlllllww. r ®aM***- -*<• 1 BUNTS' STOCK GOES UP IS RESULT OF TODAY'S GREAT SHOWING-SMITH By “Billy” Smith (Manager of the Atlanta Ball Club.) FENWAY BALL PARK. BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 9.—Well, I picked the Red Sox and I bet on the Red Sox and it looks as though everything was coming through that -way. But it will be close. I will admit that there were times, while they were playing in Washington and Philadelphia, when 1 had my doubts. They looked an awfully bad ball club there. And to tell you the confidential truth, I don’t regard them a sanything so especially wonderful right now. But they are better than the Giants, and that's the truth, even If they didn’t entirely demonstrate it today. Not since the White Sox-Cubs series have two such weak teams battled for the championship of the world in baseball. At that they’re playing some real ball, at odd times. Today’s game put up the Giants’ stock many points. I’d hate to be in McGraw’s boots, though. He has shot his big bolt. He has got to work Marquard tomorrow or else call Tesreau back again. It’s a big risk either way. Marquard will be rattled to death if he has to go in. Tesreau can hardly forget, green kid that he is, that the Red Sox trimmed him Tuesday and then served Mathewson very roughly today. Giants Get A Bad Start. The Giants nearly tossed off the Same today right in the first inning. Hooper’s lucky single and his steal rather set Matty’s nerves to jangling. 7 hen Fletcher contributed another of s the poor plays that are marring his w ork in the series, when he errored i Yerkes’ grounder. Speaker’s safe bunt continued Matty’s undoing. Then Gardner’s infield out scored a man. .\ftf-- which Jake Stahl got his chance. An ‘‘ that single he slippejfl over almost led Matty’s hash—but not quite. ' re runs in the first inning isn’t the t of a game Mathewson enjoys. 1 old lad likes to be out in front, business of pulling out of holes '■’n't for him at all. Respite the tough way things were ‘King Matty settled down and real tched great ball. In the fifth he "cred, but only momentarily.

Yerkes and Hooper have been paralyzing the ball and so have Herzog and Murray. “Red” is evident ly bent on redeeming himself for last year's weak showing, and I take it he is in a fairway to do it. One notable thing about today's game was that Collins pitched only eight balls in the fifth inning. .Math ewson went out on three straight strikes. Snodgrass only got one ball mixed in with his three strikes and Doyle flied out on the first ball pitched him. It was a grand rally that the Giant made in the first of the eighth. The Red Sox showed the stuff they art made of in the last of the eighth, with two gone Lewis smashed one into the bleachers, which Red Murray all but broke his neck fielding. Gardner’s sin gle let Lewis home, but he had to hit the dirt to get there. With the score tied in the tenth each team made a run. After the Giants had got in with one it looked as though they would get away, but the Red Sox rallied with a bravery rarely equaled in a world’s series and tied it up again. It was the most exciting game 1 ever saw in a world’s series and all in all one of the most exciting ever played, I truly believe.

The victim of a talkative wife—con versational just because she can’t be otherwise —has no grounds for divorce under the statutes of Georgia, accord ing to Judge W. D. Ellis, who is pre siding over the divorce mill in second division of superior court this week. "Simply because a wife talks too much (o a nervous husband does not mean that he can come into the court and get a divorce on the grounds of cruel treatment," the court told a jury. "Her talking may cause him what he terms 'mental anguish,' but it is not cruel treatment unless the intent is plain." Tl>e jury had decided to deny a hus band a decree because he had failed to testify that his wife struck him, al though he insisted that she,had treated him cruelly. The judge finally was ap pealed to for a definition of "cruel treatment." The man’s testimony that his wife had threatened to put poison in his food was deemed sufficient to render a verdict in his favor. THRILLS GALORE AS GIANTS HOLD RED SOX RACES j ... ...

MASS., Oct. 9.—To day’s game between the Red Sox and the Giants ended in a tie, the game being called on ar cmin) of darkness. Under nation al commission rules the game, is to be played off hero tomorrow. FIRST INNING. Today s game opens up like a whirl- This striking pho tograph shows Chris ty Mathewson just as he has delivered his celebrated “fade away, ’ ’ perhaps the most effective “curve ball” any pitcher ever threw. The wear and tear of hurling this arm-destroying ball for many years has told on Matty. But he has taken a long rest, and when he went to the box this afternoon his felt sure the “fade “fadeaway” was as k mystifying as of old. y, , i / / Jk o? wind. Snodgrass puts his shoulders into the second ball Collins heaved and drives it out for a two-bagger. The New York delegation breaks loose at this. Then down go their hopes again. Doyle, with orders to “get on,” failed and goes out on strikes. Becker swings at the first ball pitched him in this series and grounds to Steve Yerkes, who throws him out to Stahl. Snod grass takes third on this, and witli Murray up it looks as though some thing might be doing. At this point Silk O’Loughlin stops proceedings to shoo off the field a band of photographers. “Beat it,” was O’Loughlin's order and they beat. Col lins gets Murray in the hole right off the reel with two strikes In a row. Forced to hit, “Red" smacks the ball to Stahl and there is a quick play when Collins covers first and takes his man ager’s throw. No runs, One hit, no errors Fletcher at It Aoain. The Red Sox put their first man on, but it is a close chance. Matty has them two-and-tw'o on Hooper when he slips an easy one by Mathewson. "Big Six" reaches for it, but in vain. Then comes the first steal of the season, neatly executed by Hooper, who is never in danger from Meyers’ throw. Yerkes then grounds one down to Fletcher, who messes it up and finally errors, letting Steve go safe. Hooper does not advance on this. Speaker then slips over a safe bunt and the bases are choked. With a pair of strikes on Lewis, he grounds to Herzog and in a close play at the plate Hooper is out. Gardner soaks one down toward sec ond and is out from Doyle to Merkle, but Yerkes slips over with the first run of the game Then Jake Stahl deliv ers. This delivery is fn the nature of a hard single to left, on which Speaker and Lewis tally. Wagner ends it by popping to Doyle. Thr«e runs, thrss hits, one rror. SECOND INNING. Merkle proves a cinch for Collins and swipes three times In succession, not connecting even tor a foul. With [FINAL *1 GIANTS 010 100 030 10 6 RED SOX 300 010 010 10—6 RED SOX— A» H. PO A. C.

Innings pitched- Collins 7, Hall 2. Struck out -By Matthewson’4. by Col lons 5, by Bedient 1. Bas es on balls- Off Hall 4. off Bedient 1. Sacrifice hits--Herzog, Gardner, McCor mick. . , Stolen bases Hooper, Herzog, .-'tahi, Snodgrass. Hit by pitched hall By Bedient (Snod grass). Herzog it is different. He waits out a couple of balls and then when Col lins tries to groove one he meets it fair and the ball hurtles off to right field. Hooper makes a grand fun for it and fields it in time to give Herzog a slide nto third. Then Chief Meyers connects. It is one of his tremendous wallops, impelled with all the force of the biggest bat in organized baseball. And it meets Gardner fair in the face. It is a tough wallop and it looked for a minute or two as though the Sox third baseman is out. On Meyers’ hit Herzog scores. Fletcher then flies to Hooper and Mathewson forces Meyers. Yerkes to Wagner. One run, two hits, no errors. Carrigan stings one to Herzog and is out to Merkle. Collins hits a terror to Doyle, who makes a superhuman stop and throws the pitcher out at first. Hooper meets the first ball Mat ty pitches for a two-sacker to right. Yerkes waits for three balls and then grounds to Fletcher, who retires him at first. No runs, one hit, no errors. THIRD INNING. Snodgrass lifts to Hooper. Doyle fouls to Gardner. Becker grounds to Wagner and is out over the usual route, end ing a one. two, three inning. No runs, no hits, no errors. Speaker is robbed of a hit when Mer kle jumps in the air, grabs down a hard hit ball and beats him to first. It is a nice play by Merkle. Lewis flies to Murray. Gardner grounds to Doyle and retires at first. No runs, no hits, no errors. FOURTH INNING. Murray shows more world's series class with a triple to center. Red had previously fouled off a couple when he met the third one square. When Her zog comes up Jake Stahl raises the distress signal and Hall and O'Brien go out to warm up. It appears that Collins is slipping. With the bail strike proposition standing three-two, Herzog raises one to Speaker. It is a long one and a clean sacrifice fly. on which Murray scores. Meyers rips off a single and Fletcher comes up. It is another chance for the shortstop, but, as usual, he flunks out, with a fly to Hooper. Fletcher si either scared or lacking class. One run, two hits, no errors. Stahl and Mathewson opened the second half with a duel. Matty slips the first two straight over, with noth , Ing on but the cover. Then he wastes a couple. Then he takes a chance, slips 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE another over and Jake is out on strikes. Wagner lofts one to Murray. Carrigan hits a grass cutter to Fletcher, and is out to Merkle. No runs, no hits, no errors. FIFTH INNING. Il is right at this point that Collins springs a rally and begins pitching. He slips Mathewson three straight ones, and gets him on strikes. On the next four pitched balls Snodgrass goes out on strikes. Doyle manages to meet the ball, but it is only four a fly to Lewis. No runs, no hits, no errors. When Matty goes in the box he looks desperate. He is never a man to en joy a losing game, and his good right arm is seldom at its level best unless he is winning. McGraw experiences a change of heart at this stage of the game and orders Snodgrass and Mur ray to change places Then Mathew son lets go at Collins, but he takes no chances. First a ball, then a strike, then a. ball, then a strike, then a ball and then the third strike and Collins is out. Then Hooper pulls a hit. It Is his third and when it sails out into safe territory there is a roar that shakes tho Bunker Hill monument and rocks the dome of the state house. Not satisfied with this achievement. Hooper at once steals second, but it is a wasted effort for Yerkes lights into the ball for a triple and Hooper walks home-with an other Red Sox run. Speaker has a swell chance to add to the Giants' rout, but he overlooks it with a liner to Fletcher, who doubles Yerkes at first. SIXTH INNING. Beckeb is still helpless in Collins hands and is out from Yerkes to Stahl, on a feeble swat. Murray is the de livering kid. however, anil rips off a one-sacker to right. Merkle hoists to Speaker. Murray, a demon for speed as a rule, tries to steal and is cut down by Carrigan, who throws him out to Yerkes. No runs, one hit, no errors. Lewis misses the second ball by five feet.
