iMATHEWSON, GIANTS' HOPE
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” was still regarded as the most re
liable of the New York pitchers.

With Charles P. Neill. United States
commissioner of labor, acting as an in

and President Wickersham, of the At

the Georgia railroad strike were re

It was said authoritatively that if

Mr. Neill was working hard to affect
a settlement, and many were of the
opinion that he would succeed, but the
situation was unchanged this after
noon.

Complain of Delays.
Mayor Winn surd today that he was
going to see to it that the work on
Peachtree street, West Fourteenth

possible'.
"It is not my duty to superintend
street improvements." said the mayor,
"but when the work lags and the- citi
zens complain to me I'm going to do all
in my power to provide relief.”
Mayor Winn made a personal inspec
tion of the grading work at the junction
of tile Peachtrees and Baker streets to
day. He found that the repaving of the
I street is being held up now by laying of
the steam heating pipes and conduits
of tile Georgia Railway and Power
Company and the replacing of the poles
of the Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany.
He wrote to both of these companies
insisting that they rush the work and
notify him how ."'ion they can complete
it. He said lie was going before the
county commission Saturday to find out
how soon the work of repaving would
be begun. The county officials have
agreed to repave the sleet.
Clifford L. Anderson, chairman of
the county commission, said today that
the county' conWnisgion was not respon

the epunty finished the work of regrad

Herzog it is different. He waits ont
a couple of balls and then when Col
lins tries to groove one lie meets it
fair and the ball hurtles off to right
field. Hooper makes a grand run for
It and fields it in time to give Herzog
a slide into third. Then Chief Meyers
connects. It is one of his tremendous
wallops, impelled with all tite force of
.lie bmg si bat in organized hns.-b-'H
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, t'ollins hits a terror
to Doyle, who makes a superhuman
stop and throws the pitcher out at
first. Hooper meets the first ball Mal

Yerkes waits for three bulls and then
grounds to Fletcher, who retires him
at hist. No runs, one hit, no error*.
THIRD INNING.
Snodgrass lifts to Hooper. Doyle fouls
to Gardner. Beck*, 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. Gaidner grounds to Doyle and
retires al first. No runs, no hits, no
errors.
FOURTH INNING.
Murray shoes more world's series
class with s triple to center. Tied 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 io warm up. It appears that
Collins is slipping. With the ball
strike proposition standing three-two,
Herzog raises one to Speaker. It is a
long one and a clean sacrifice fly, on
wh'-lt Murray scores. Meyers rios nff
a single and Fletcher comes up. It is
another chance tor the shortstop, but,
as usual, he flunks out, with a fly to
Hooper. Fletcher si either scared or
lacking class.

Wagner lofts one to Murray. Carrigan
hits a grass cutter to Fletcher, and is
out to Merkle. No runs, no hit*, no

FIFTH INNING.
It is right at this point that Collins
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
No runs, no hits, no error*.
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 hall, then a strike,
then a bail, 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 the
Bunker Hill monument and rocks the
dome of the state house. Not satisfied
witli this achievement, Hooper at onee
steals second, but it is a wasted effort,
for Yerkes lights into the ball tnr a
triple and Hooper walks home with an
other Red Sox run. Speaker has a swell
chance to add to the Giants’ rout, but
be overlooks It with a liner to Fletcher,
who doubles Yerkes at first.
SIXTH INNING.
Becker is still helpless in Collins’
hands and is out from Yerkes to Stah
on a feeble swat. Murray Is the de
livering kid, however, and 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
leikes. No runs, one hit, no errors.
Lewis misses the second ball bv five
feet. Fletcher then misses Lewis
drive. but he is given a single bv the
scorer. Gardner bunts, but is out
