Wood did not im press me as a fellow who is likely to come back with a day's rest like our Tesreau can He depends too much on speed. That is bound to .-ap his reserve energy and h|s re cuperative powers. Wood showed us nothing like the speed Bender displayed against Mathewson the opening game a . ear ago. He is not so hard a pitch 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 minute.

We did Hot do much with Wood at first, but no one can deny that we gave him a very uncomfortable time of it in the ninth inning. Boston will be without the services of their greatest twirler for the next few days No other man on tiiat club is likely to show us so much in nine innings. But we Giants should have as good pitching every day Jeff Tesreau will get tevcnge, mark my words. He pitched wonderful ball yester day certainly as fine as anything ever handled. Here was a green young pitcher in his first world's series opposed Io the classiest pitcher of the Amer, iettn league. He bote himself nobly. He was not out-pitched. He was out-lucked. He will come back, tnd come back strong.

"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.

Sixty per cent of the remainder of the first foui games to the players, of this amount players of the win ning team receive 60 per cent and losers 40 pet cent Remaining 40 per cent to the club owners. After the first four games 10 per cent to the national commission and remainder to the club owners. 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 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.

(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 “In Your Window 1 SAW A HAT” mill I liked it and came iu. Then I saw anoth er 1 needed and BOUGHT TWO Don 1 show me any more—y*onr stvles are irresistible.

' .7 I 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. 6 FOOTBALL CANDIDATES REINSTATED_AT GEORGIA ATHENS, GA., Oct. 9. —The six men canned from the University' of Georgia football team for breaking training have been reinstated bj’ Coach Alex Cunningham.
