His name is Hugh Pettit lit. X,.; one fan in ten knew the first i. . :i about him until th? Red Sox w >n tin pennant and began to get ready foi iiie world’s series. Even then they did not hoa. so much about him.- It was t -. -tm/al impression that Hugh was a lie* kid. with a lot of promise but n 1 ii ii) to stick in a light game. T.i, chances are so strong that y-:u . :: 'L know the fust thing about Be t. jnt that I'm going to tell you what I :. low. The first time I heard of him two years ago when he pitched a _’4- ntting game for his home team of i . net. N. Y., against Cory, Pa., and s. iek out 24 men. It appeared to me then that lied bear " • ehing. but before I could get to him >■ id: an offer Fall River grabbed him. Last year he went to the Eastern i rir-. but he didn't look good. Provi li'-nipassed him up. but Jersey City, ■ me of the dead ones, froze onto him. At that one tint? they picked a -I bine;'. This year he has pitched fair b: ’ for the Red Sox. He has a peck o t-iifi-d and plenty of control. He is • L.g hulk, over six feet tall and weigh ir : abound ISO, I should think. ill. this rjedienf won the game.

The rest of the time he was ;••• that it wasn’t interesting. y's show ing today confirms me ii i\ opinion that he’s the greatest - -been" in the world today—and I ii that for praise. The old boy has nerve and a better spirit than I n in years and years. He was at the start of the game. If he have started as he finished, wouldn’t have ben a thing on f r io it. He kept himself well in mid he deserved a better fate. ■ game makes It practically cer that my prediction will < onie ’ ’iigu. The Red Sox are going to 1 i’.

The players had no- share in todaj's receipts, their per cent having ended with yesterday's game. FIRST INNING. It is a big surprise to the fans when Bedieni takes his place on the slab for the Red. Sox. They have felt that Collins was due. Bedient makes a wretched stmt. The first four hurls are called bulls by Umpire ”B1|1” Evans and Devore gets on. Doyle lifts a sky scraper to Lewis. Snodgrass then spoils it for New York by hitting into a double play and he, Devore and the side are retired. Wagner to Yerkes to Stahl. No runs, no hits, no errors. Hooper gives Matty a torrid recep tion by swiping into the first ball pitch ed for a single. Yerkes laces into the second ball sent him for a fly-out to Fletcher. Speaker slips a single just short of Devore, and Hooper moves on to the keystone. Lewis waits out a few and finally s ings one to Herzog, who forces Hooper. Then, with the whole tiling depending on Gardner, he falls a victim to' th'* Old Master and fans. It is corking work for Matty. Two hits, no runs, no errors. SECOND INNING. Bedient gets away badly in the sec ond, with three straight balls, .which is exactly what he gave Devore in the first, half of the first. Merkle pushes pne down to Gardner and is out to Stahl. Murray goes forward a base on this. Herzog pops to Yerkes. Mey ers hits a mighty wallop, but Hoopei is under it. No runs, no hits, no error®. Stahl smashes one hard to Fletcher and retires to Merkle. Wagner finds a ball to his liking and pushes it short of Murray for a single. Cady out. Math ewson to Merkle, on an extremely fee ble grounder. This moves Wagner along to second, where lie expires when Bedient grounds to Doyle and is out to Merkle. Matty setins to have settled down to his regular stride. He is let ting them hit. but he seems able to tighten up in the pinches. No runs, one hit, no errors. THIRD INNING. Eletcher lifts to Hooper, The Peer less Matty shows that his talents aren’t entirely confined to the hurling end py smashing a single to center. Devore, with “three and two” on him, lets the deciding one slip by and Bill Evans calls It a ball. Doyle skies one to Speaker, but of course there is no ad vance. Snodgrass fouls to Cady and another good chance to score goes glimmering No run*, one hit, no er rors. Hooper sets the ball rolling for the Red Sox with a triple to left It was a ferocious w allop. Yerke.s follows and on the first bull Matty slips him he mauls It for three aacka scoring Hoop er. Matty look- old and rather wan and worried as lie faces Speaker. It appears that he 1- "grooving ’em." and if he Is and can t quit it Ids time on the sl4b"lv|ll be limited. Speaker taps an eu»v one down to Doyle and the Na- tional league’s automobile winner errors ... ■; u,..a. iavA!»>-;# rig*si and nk'r is nabbed at geeohd. from .Mur ray to Fiet< her, when Tris tries to get an extra ba-e on the error. Lewis grounds to Malty and 1- oul to .vlerkle. Gardner rolls one 'o Merkle and is out at first. Two runs, tv/o hits, cne error. FOURTH INNING. Murray skies to Yerkes. Me'kie takes three straigiit strikes and is nut. Herzog, after fouling -one to tlie right field bleachers and another near Cady, lifts one to Stahl. No runs, no hits, no errors. Stahl swings wiltfly on thS first ball pitched him and grounds to Herz.og. who nails him to Merkle. Wagne; draws three straight strikes. Cady hit. at . the first ball pitched and is out to Snodgrars. Only five balls are pitched by Mathewson in that inning. The old boy is getting to look good again. No runs, no hits, no e rors. FIFTH INNING. Meyers gets a hit to open tlie flftit inning, but he has to work for it. After two strikes and a ball have been called on him. he swiped four fouls in a row Then a second ball goes over. And ther Meyers meets it : quarely for a single to left Fletcher balloons-one to Hoop <‘r. Mathewson fails to duplicate his previous hit and fans. Devore poke out a liner that backs Speaker way up but the Texan gets ii. No runs, one hit. no errors. As the game has been progressing the fog has gradually blown and burned away and now there is only a mild haze This is a big help to spectators and to outfielders, who had heavy going through the fog at the start. Bedient lines one to Merkle that spins him around, but he hangs to it. Hooper grounds to Doyle and is out. to Merkle. Yerkes grounds to Fletcher and Is out to Merkle. It is another good inning for the Giant pitcher and if his team mates ever solve the delivery of B<>- dient, which they show no signs of do ing. he may get a victory. No runs, no hits, no errors. SIXTH INNING. Doyle grounds sharply to Yei ke? and is thrown out to Stahl. Snodgrass, aft er taking a strike, lifts to Gardner. Murray fouls to Gardner. Up to thi.- tim<- Bedii-nt’s shoe ing ha* been the most impressive of any pitcher in the entire s<- i. s. The Giants are as help less as •■•ehoo! boys before him. He teems to have swell curves, excellent control, a good change of pace and a peck of confidence. No runs, no hits, no errors. Speaker bounds one down to Doyle and goes out to Merkle. Lewis stings one on the ground to Herzog and is out at first. Gardner slips one on tlie ground to Merkle and is out. It’s an other fin*- inning for Mathewson. If the old boy had started like this, the score would be a tight, tie. No runs, no hits, no errors. SEVENTH INNING. Merkle puts a dent In tin- Red Box defense by smashing a two-bagger to left. Herzog, with two strikes on him, lifts n pop-up to Wagner. Meyers, the plnh boob flies to Speaker. Merkle hugs second bate until the ball lands in Speaker’s hands and then beats it for third. McGraw then takes a chanee. Instead of sending In Fletch er, McCormick is pul In to hat ami he does bnt. a grounder to Gardner, that no living man could have han dled. Merkle scores on this lilt. Hhufe la put in t<> mu f<>r McCormick and of course will go to shdrL Mathewson FINAL * * GEORGIA MIL STRIKE ENDED: HI RETUffI 10 El TOMORROW » Tli;' Georgia railroad strike was virtually settled late this 111'l'iiooti attd trains are expected to begin running once more to- | morrow morning.

With the big end up for the Giants in the first of this inning they have a chancy and they show their determi nation to make thd mosp ot it. Mc- Graw walks up and down, exhorting bis men to "get on some way,” and they are worried but dete: mined look ing lot in the New York bench. Devore gets the first chance at Kid Bedient, but doesn’t make much out of ii. A strike, a ball, anothri ball, another strike and then the strike out. Bedient has claimed am-th* : victi i. Doyle, with the determination for which he is noted, hacks at tile first bal' pitched him and steams it at Stahl. Tin- Sox managrr makes a dif ficult stop-—and two are gone. Snod grass then fans in Jig time and the i eighth inning is over, a- far as th? Giants .ire concerned. No runs, no hits, no errors. Bcdient opens for the Red Sox with a fly to Snodgrass. Hooper grounds to Shafer and ietires at first. Yerkes p ips to Herzog. No runs, no hits, no errors. NINTH INNING. And now it’s Graw’s last chance. Murray, Merkle and Herzog ate his batters and they are te; ill, hitters every one. If ever anything is to be done for the Giants' cause it must be done now. Murray pops one to Gard ner—and two ehences me left. Mer kle hits hard at a straight ball, shoul - tier hit, but nets only a fly to Speaker. 1 Herz* e, gets the next chance and the last it proves, for he grounds to Yi-rk-s and is Out to Stahl. No runs, no hits, no errors. STATISTICS ON BOX DUEL. RED SOX— 4k* «.

Vice President T. A. Gregg, of th* Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, sal* a formal statement of the settlement would be issued later in the day. Dr. t'harles P. Neill. United States commissioner of labor and mediator in the railroad troubles, was shown this statement. He confirmed it. This was the first time Dr. Neill had made any statement or confirmed or denied any other statement for publication. The strike on the Georgia road be gan just twelve days ago. Freight traf fic lias been tied up completely, and the running of passenger trains has been only occasional. The railroad commission today an nounced that it would make an in vestigation to determine who is at fault and then demand that the traffic on the Georgia be resumed. The commis sion says in part: "Under the law and its charter, it is tin- duty of the Georgia railroad to re ceive and promptly forward within a reasonable time all freight and passen ger traffic which it is able and accus- I tomed to transport. Section 2737 of our ' code expressly provides that no strike nr cessation of work by its employees | -xi uses or justifies such delay or sus | pension of its duties as a common car- I rier. unless accompanied by such vio- I ience or intimidation as to render it I unsafe to carry on its business, or such ■ as can not be overcome by the railroad or controlled by the civil authorities when called upon by it. Under the law it is made the duty of the railroad commission to inquire into the per formance by all common carriers ot their legal and charter duties, to see that they do discharge these obligations and render sufficient and efficient serv ice to the public. "The railroad commission, therefore, clearly lias the power, and it may be its duty to inquire Into the causes of. the present suspension of service, ft may be powerless to remove them, but it can investigate.
