Hats off to the Red Sox! I have no excuse to of fer for our defeat yesterday Rut still that Boston team sure had all the brenXs with them, while our boys ■were unfortunate in their hitting Before I go any furthi r. let me say that the (Wants are still very much in the running and that we will cop. Wood is out of the way now. The only chance Joe has of working again will be if the Heides stretches out a« long as next Tuesday And he won't bo any too good then, for ho put every thing he had on the ball yesterday, and J noticed as» he walked to the bench aft er the seventh and eighth innings that he rubbed his right forearm. All of ■which means that the old wing must have been tiring up on him. “I Work Mondgy," Says Marquard. As I came down to the station last night two fans were arguing as to who would pitch today for the Giants — Matty or yours truly. One of them said that I would sure be •ent back today Well, I knew then that there wasn't • rthance in the world that I would work J>efr>re Monday. I believe I could have gone in today •nd won my game, bvrt 1 wouldn't want to tnfce a chance. The old arm ts still a little aerre and I won't be in top notch form before Monday But natch my old hop ball sail over then. Tesreaai will be at his best by Tues day. and. believe me, that boy is sure •to get an even break from "Dame For tune” by that time. He certainly de serves to have his share of luck before Jong; it has bear breaking against hltn too much so far. Slow ground bea.t us out of yester day's game If ibe infield had been hard and fast, itwo of Wagners assist and two of Terkee' would have gone for hits that ■would have scored runs.

I-'ENWAY PARK, BOSTON, Oct. t 12.—A fog ho thick that it al most completely obscured the bleacherites' view of home plate hung over tills ball field this aft ernoon an hour before the Giants and Rod Sox were to meet in the filth battle for the baseball cham pionship of tlte world. Conditions for a ball game could have been worse The mist was .so thick and heavy that it was almost Impossible to see a fly ball The outfield was soggy but the infield was in a little better condition. The threatening weather, how ever. did not dampen the fans, w ho flocked in by thousands. The Giants were warmly greeted at 12: .>0 o'clock w hen they went on the field, but a demonstration last ing nearly two minutes was given the Red Sox when they walked on the field a few minutes later. The friendly feeling that existed between members of the rival teams in the eaily games was missing to day and bitterness was evident In its place. Thia, no doubt, was caused by Speaker's argument with Herzog Wednesday and Wagner's verbal encounter with Pletcher yesterday, following Wagner’s charge that Fletcher tried to spike Catcher Cadv. The fog was so heavy that fly balls driven at the outfielders in practice passed by them or drop ped alongside, totally unobserved. No Alabi For Defeat. The smoke ball artist heat the Giants cleanly and decisively at tHe Polo grounds yesterday, and the New York players know it. They have no alibi. They' need none. The Boston players are no stronger in their praise of the work of Wood than are the National league champions. His terrific speed on a cloudy day was an abso lute revelation to them, and though every artifice known to McGraw was brought into play. Wood was always master of the situation. The one silver lining to the cloud of disappointment to New York is that Wood was hit harder by the Giants on his second out than on his first. Coming over on the train last night, some of the Giants told me that they were inclined Jo believe that, with a faster field and a clear day. they would have stood a bel ter chance The lack of light yesterday fa vored Wood's speed, and the heavy ground made it possible for W ag tier and Yerkes to make stops of balls that on a fast ground would have gone for safeties It is true that the Giants outhit the Boston team, but Wood's mas tery came to the front when the safe swats were needed Joe twirled a game that will go down In world s series history as a master piece. Joe's generalship was just as good as his physical ability One Play Ruined Giants. The on* play ttiat broke up tile Giants attack was the tern irkable stop of McCormick's bullet-lik. hit by Yerkes ami his perfect throw that ndiled Ffetcher at the plate The w hole game hung on that play , if it hud gone through McGraw ild have been < edited w ith hav ing stak' d ills all on a chance and Aon As It W. - he took the plunge and lost "Uh det, in r on second and a i n.'in-i .•• to (he scon , Harry Mi- Co miek was sent in as a pirn h hit. t* for T. strati Hat r\ landed * nli lon on act'mnt of the heavy ■ irf lti» haP boiino. d . tilth’ ■ ii” A• i >i • mag* it . • knoi k It flow it I letch bad 'tail'd lot I 'did With thi ... of th' :»;«!. j iiii't is Ih tinned ;nll> Y*‘Ckvs THE ATLANTA GEORC' ‘N AND NEWS SATERDAV. OCTOBER 12. 1912. was still diving after the ball. “Go on!” yelled McGraw. In a flash the New York mana get had decided to take the chance and risk the game on that play. Yerkes then made one more des perate reach for the ball, and came up with it. It was two to one that he would not make a perfect throw to the plate, but he proved that he was made of the light kind of stuff, and shot the ball to Cady with the accuracy of a rille ball. Fletcher was out by several feet. More over. he was so ch tel ly bloc!-; d off from the plate that he couldn't have got In with a jimmy. McGraw Gambled and Lost. Many of the experts were in clined to criticise McGraw’s judg ment for taking such a chance, but if It bad gone through he would have been hailed as a great gen eral. Baseball is a game of chance. The gambler's instinct Is often of more value to a team than ultra conservatism, such as lost the game for Boston two days ago. The man who really put the Giants out of the running was Charley Wagner, the wonderful shortstop of the Red Sox. On three occasions this remarkable fielder ran back of second and dug up grounders that looked sure hits. His arm whs as true as a sling-shot, and each of the three runners was out by an eyelash. On a dry ground all of these would have gone for hits. That is why the Giants feel that the fates conspired against them. In making that ex planation. they are not attempting to detract from the work of the wonderful Wagner. He sized up the situation and played according ly. The fact that he was aware of the slow ground and judged the speed of the bounds on that basis makes his w ork just as brilliant. Everybody "Plays Fair.” In one respect this series stands out over all others. A spirit of the cleanest kind of sportsmanship by players and spectators lias been manifest since the fight stalled.

Boston, mass., oct. 12.—Yes- \ terday our boys looked more like their old selves than at gny time since the series began. Yesterday's victory was due to the phenomenal pitching of Joe Wood and the sensational fielding of Heine Wagner. I doubt if any one ever saw- a shortstop make three more diffi cult plays in one game than Wag ner did in that game. The hits on which these plays were made were not terrific grounders, but they were batted in such away that only a player of the first class could have made them. x Had Wagner failed, i the hits would have gone for singles and very lucky ones at that. Yerkes Made Grand Play. Aside from the grand work of Wagner and Wood, a play of Yerkes saved us from letting the Giants into a tie score. A fine one-handed catch by Lew is and the catching of Cady were the other strong points of our game which enabled us to chalk up a vic tory.

Joe pitches from 110 to 125 balls a game, as the series has gone so far. In this kind of weattier it would not be asking too much of him to go in the box every three days. Tesreau Pitched Fair Game. For New York, Tesreau pitched a good game, about like the one O'Brien pitched for us- against Marquard. If these two come to gether again in the series—that is. O'Brien and Matquard—my money will go 'on our man. Gardner is at last in his stride, and I think the New Yorks will find him a man to be feared from now on.

WAGNEfI-YEHKES WINNERS DFTHE FOURTH GM By John “Chief” Mevers. (Catcher of the Giant Club.; Boston, mass., oct. 12. -w„ 0( beat us yesterday. I predict ed that he would not be abl< to come bank so strong as ,he started, and I was-right. Joe was an altogether different man from his first start. His first game was far the better. lA the pinches he was able to unload such ter rific speed as to make batting a matter of ordinary guesswork. , If ever there was a day made to or der for such "smoke" as Wood showed us Tuesday, he enjoyed it at the Pole grounds yesterday. But the speed wasn’t there. Joe depended yesterday on his eurvt ball in pinches, and by his very boni ness ’'crossed” the Giant batters foi several innings. I think that every one who saw the game Friday will agree with me that toward the end we were hitting hiir harder than he has been hit In the ma jority of his games this year. The Red Sox have no greater advan tage over us than they enjoyed after the opening game. We went to Boston before and fought the Red Sox to a standstill on their own grounds. What we have done we should re peat. - Wood Is Stumbling Block. Wood is the only pitcher Stahl showed us who puzzled us in the least. He has won two games for Boston He will have to win,as many more if we are to be cheated in our aspirations. I do not think he can do this. The first feame took the edge off him. He can not come back with two days rest. Boston will be forced to use Wood Monday or take second place in the standing. Once let us get out in front and there will be no stopping us. Wagner and Yerkes Won It. The credit of Boston's victory doesn't belong to Wood. It belongs to Wagner and Yerkes. There never was any pret tier playing about that keystone sack than yestreday. I had to admire, while inwardly cursing, it. Wagner made three of the most sen sational robberies ever perpetrated on a baseman. Yerkes pulled the headiest play of the day, however, and one that hurt the worst of all. It cut down Fletcher at the plate with what we all believed war the tying run. That was in the sev enth, when McCormick came over with a pinch The ball shot righ through the box and dead over second How Yerkes ever got back where he did I can't imagine. But he did and cuffed down the ball besides. He ktiew he didn’t have a chance for the baiter so lie stalled a bit in retrieving thba Which he rolled away from him. Pletch er had started with the rap. He hat rounded third when Yerkes rec<’ and looked certain of scoring. 1 ' K * however, threw perfectly and n ■ man.
