44 We Lost First, But We Will
Win the Series”—-J. Meyers
By John “Chief" Meyers.
(Famous Catcher of the Giartts.)
Boston, mass., o<t. 9.—we
lost the first game of the
world’s series, but we did not
lose the championship \\ '<• lost to
a good team and to a good pitcher,
yet we have a better team and het -
ter pitchers.
Twenty -four hours ago I was su
premely confident that we would
beat out the Red Soy. Thls'mln
U»e I am twice as confident and I
will tell you win.
.lake Stahl used his trump ..nd
at Polo Grounds yesterday It is
quite title that he landed a \ toty
by doing it. but still a victory that
Is likely to tell against him nt th>
tong run. Far from disheartening
the Giants the reverse is trite It
has put new determination in them.
If we approached th, series with
any trepidation our first game with
the Huh team has . . rtainlv dis
pelled It
I will be vm much surprised if
our defeat does not prove a very
gracious toni.
Thinks Giants Are Best.
I do not wish to insinuate any
thing against the skill either of Joe
Wood or the Red Sox when I say
that in my estimation the Giants
form a better combination.
We have great hope reserved for
today in Boston.
Christy Mathe wson. who has
never been beaten in hi- Hist start
in any world's series or post-season
series, will pitch the second game
with everything in his favor He
will not have to go up against
Boston's best pit. lie,

to come back with a day's rest like

much on speed. That is bound to

Wood showed us nothing like the
speed Bender displayed against
Mathewson the opening game a

er to beat. Bender mixed up
terrific speed with a beautiful curve
that he was never afraid to use.
He kept a batter guessing every

We did Hot do much with Wood

we gave him a very uncomfortable
time of it in the ninth inning.
Boston will be without the services

much in nine innings.
But we Giants should have as good
pitching every day Jeff Tesreau

He pitched wonderful ball yester

ever handled.
Here was a green young pitcher

Io the classiest pitcher of the Amer,

He was not out-pitched. He was

to pitch tile next game at the Polo

even more stuff than he displayed

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1912.
"Red Sox Must Hit Ball Better Than Yesterday to Win/' Says Smith
BETTING NOW 2 TO 1 THAT BOSTON WINS SERIES
By Billy Smith.
(Manager of the Atlanta Ball Club.)
BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 9—Mc-
Graw played his best card
and lost. Stahl led his high
est trump and it took the first
1 rick.
With Tesreau beaten, the Red
Sox will this afternoon at Ken
way park endeavor to cast the
spear into the side of Christy
Mathewson, but they must hit the
ball more timely than they did
yesterday to get away with it.
Opposed to Mathewson will be
• 'ollins. Boston's southpaw pe.
This portside hurler caused the
Giants heaps of trouble in the in
let-city series of 1909, and all Bos
ton is backing him today.
The Giants ami the Red Sox
players came into town on a spe
cial train last night, beating type
writers and toting huge reams of
copy paper Out of Bill Carri
gan's pocket could be seen the edge
of a dictionary and Chief Meyers
carried a rapid calculator for fig
uring the parabolic. All of them
were accompanied by stenogra
phers, and when any oneimade a
pointed remark they order him to
''put that down."
Boston Very Confident.
The winning of the first game
has made the Boston bettors so
cocksure of winning the series that
they are laying odds of 2 to 1 to
day. On the general understanding
that Mathewson is to pitch this
afternoon, the betting on today's
game is at even money.
It is- reported here that Collins,
the left-hander, will pitch for the
Red Sox.
While all Boston is jubilant over
the victory of yesterday, they hold
the Giants in much higher estima
tion than they did three days ago.
Snodgrass' Mistakes Costly.
Among ball players and other
followers of the game, it is the
opinion that the turning point in
the til.st game was Snodgrass' bad
play in the sixth, in running in
front of Devore to get a drive from
Speaker's bat. only to miss it. This
gave tlie Red Sox a run. Devore
was set and waiting to catch the
ball when Snodgrass went on his
wild stampede and crossed him.
Snodgrass' defense is that he did
not know that Devore was waiting
for the ball and tiiat. as lie heard
no warning, lie kept going.
Devote stoutly maintained that
he called for Snodgrass to get out
of tile way, but his voice was prob
ably drowned tn the noise of the
crowd.
This play was not only unfortu
nate for Snodgrass, but it appar
ently unnerved Tesreau" and he
weakened in the following inning
Doyle Had Hard Luck.
Anotite.' play in which the Giants
got ti’e worst of it was when Doyle
stumbled in the seventh lining
and was prevented from making a
double (.lay which would hav< re
tired Boston without a run. Larry
got the bail cleanly and had a
double pl.t- ight in hi. grasp, but
when lu- started for second base
lie tripped and lost the great
chance That was one of the sad
dest blows of the game to the
Giants.
Thi te was still another chance in
tn.it inning to cut off tlte Boston
inns, but ti.s time me bad break

inclined to believe that McGraw
made a strategic oversight in the
last half of the ninth by not send
ing Becker to bat in place of
Pletcher, who had already struck
out twice. With runners on sec
ond and third and only one out.
the chance for victory was in the
palm of the batter's hands. It
looked as if a left-hander- would
have a better chance than a right
hander against Wood, and when
Becker was called from the bench
every one thought, even Becker
himself, that he was going in as a
pinch hitter. Instead McGraw
sent him to second to run for
Meyers
Last night Becker rather naively
remarked: "I'd a darned sight rath
er been in there hitting instead of
running."
The Giants are much more
pleased over their showing against
tlie Sox. even in defeat, than they
were after their opening victory
against the Athletics last fall.

in the one game, they do not com
pare with the Athletics as a ball
club. Their attack is wabbly and
uncertain, and their defense is
nothing extraordinary. The throw
ers had little chance to show what
they coulci do.
Sox Play Old-Fashioned Game.
In attack the Red Sox played
the “old army game" from start to
finish, and not once did they de
viate. Once a runner got on first
they advanced him with a sacri
fice or attempted to. To show the
futility of that style of baseball,
the Sox made a bloomer of it two
times out of three. As a surprise,
Murray- also tried the sacrifice play
and as a result doubled up himself
and Snodgrass.
The Giants had a chance to
show their first flash of speed in
the third inning and their fleetness
alone gave them two tuns. With
Devore on first, Doyle dumped a
looping hit into left field and with-. I
out even hesitating Devore shot
into third like a streak.
Stealing Isn’t Popular.
A peculiar feature to this game
was that only one man attempted
to steal a base and he was thrown
out by ten feet. Stahl tried it in
the second inning, but Meyers'
aim was so unerring that not an
other man started.
The work of both Catchers Cady
and Meyers was absolutely flaw
less. They handled their pitchers
perfectly and watched first base so
closely that no one had a chance to
get a lead.
Managers McGraw and Stahl this
morning expressed satisfaction
with the work of their teams.
Stahl says he realizes that
his club is in for a tough fight,
notwithstanding the opening victo
ry, and McGraw agrees with him.
The winners of last year's world’s cham
pionship received approximately’ .*3 pop
each, which whs a lot more than the sal

series is a great thing

Carrigan Thinks Boston Will
Win Series in Straight Games
By Bill Carrigan.
(Star Catcher of the Red Sox.)
BOSTON. Oct. 9.—After sizing
up the first battle between
the Red Sox and the Giants,
I believe we will win four straight.
We won the first clash, as we
won many a game In the Ameri
can league season—we came from
behind, overhauled a two-run lead
in the seventh. Stood the strain of
a heartbreaking last half of the
ninth and won out. 4 to 3.
I want to give Joe Wood credit
for the great game he pitched and
Forrest Cady for the great game
he caught.
Wood Showed Courage.
Joe simply pitched tlie very way
he has pitched all season to me.
He showed at his best when things
wer.e breaking bad for him in the
last inning, when he kept his nerve,
tightened up and struck out the
last two batters, one of them
(Crandall) among the best stickers
in the National game.
It was a beautiful finish for
Wood., He showed nerve, confi
dence, stamina.
Taken altogether, it was a most
wonderful performance, especially
when one remembers that there
were 40,000 partisans yelling like
maniacs in an effort to get his
nerve. Joe came through with fly
ing colors. He did just tvhat we
all expected he would do.
Sox Had Game Doped Out.
We had the game all figured nut
at the start and things happened
just about as we figured it.
Take the case of Tesreau, for ex
ample. We decided to play a wait
ing game at the start; then to
ward the close, if things went right
and when he might be expected to
he tired from his efforts and from
natural nervousness, to go after
him. This is exactly what we did.
In the first three innings Tes
reau issued three passes, and
while we were not able to turn
them into a count, he was pitching
hard all the time. Eventually, we
got to him and knocked him out
of the box w ith four solid hits, in
cluding a fine two-bagger in the
seventh Inning.
The Giants played a high class

oft ball, but it seems to me as
though they were a different team
at various stages of the game
When they secured that two-run
lead and held it for three innings
they were full of "pep." but when
we got that one run in the sixth
we could see a difference in them,
and when we scored three more in
the seventh they looked dead.
I don't blieve Tesreau will both
er us any more. We have his
measure. If he pitches against us
again, we may not use the same
attack, but I believe we will get
him just the same.
UHLAN BREAKS RECORD:
TROTS ONE MILE IN 1:58
LEXINGTON, KY„ Oct. 9.—Three
world’s records w-ere broken at the
opening day of the Kentucky Horse
Breeders association meeting here to
day. Uhlan, racing against time, low
ered the trotting record, held by Lou
Dillon for seven years, to 1:58 flat The
former record of 1:59 1-2 was marie at
Memphis. The sixth heat of the Ken
tucky futurity was won by Manrico in
2:07 1-4, a world’s record for a sixth
heat.
The aggregate time for the six heats
in this race also made a new world's
record.
Manrico won the Kentucky trotting
classic after six heats. The Tennessee,
for 2:05 pacers, was only a walkover
for Braden Direct. Pickles proved some
what of a disappointment and the best
she could do was to land third money.
