Graw ites Show Their Old Speed.
By “Billy" Smith
Manager of the Atlanta Baseball Team.
POLO OROCNDS. NEW YORK, Oct. 14— Boston's Rod Sox snd
New Yolk’s Giants mot this afternoon in what, meant a world's title
for Boston, had victory come Io Stahl’s men. The Giante, fighting to
the lasi ditch, however, checked the American leaguers and there is
once more hope in New York. O'Brien and Marquard were the op
posing pitchers. The game was played as follows:
FIRST INNING.
It is as calm as a sunny day on the
Sahara when Hooper takes his place at
bat. The Giant fans have made a bit
of noise through the preliminaries, but
they are quiet now. Marquard takes
his place, as calmly confident as
though lie were working a March game
against the San Antonio club. The
fust ball he pitches is called a strike,
somewhat to the irritation of Harry
Hooper, who is at bat. The next two
are balls. Then Hooper tears off a sin
gle to right. This does not appear to
worry Marquard in the lea,st. Ear from
it. instead of -how Ing any flurry, he
hurls the hall with a brisk snap to
Metkle and Hooper is caught off the
bag ami retires cia-stfalien. Yerkes
. lifts to Snodgrass. Speaker gerts two
strikes on him, then a ball, then he
fouls one. then lie gets another ball,
I then he fouls another, then he. gets a
third ball, a fourth and walks. It was
great work for Tris. He spoiled the
' good ones and let the balls float by.
II With I.ewis up, Speaker goes right on
down to second. Lewis overlooks his
het by flying to Devore.
No runs, one hit, no errors.
| O'Brien opens up with a peek of
speed, but his first hurl is low. With
the count three and two. Devore
' grounds to (Gardner and is out to Stahl.
Doyle taps gently to Yerkes and beats
the throw to first, by dint of tremen
dous running. With Snodgrass up,
Doyle starts to steal, changes his mind
and scratches back to first. Snodgrass
starts a spasm of fouling, and finally
1 Doyie manages to get in his steal,
i Snodgrass then strikes out. With throe
balls and two strikes on him. Murray
grounds to Wagner and beats the throw
to first, while Doyle bakes third The
I Giants are shoeing a flash of their old
time speed novv and have the Red Sox
infielders guessing. Then O'Brien un
-1 corks a palpable balk, the first of the
L series, and Doyle scores and Murray
takes second. With two strikes on Mer
kle, he smacks the hall the right field
I for a double, and Murray scores. On
the next ball Herzog meets ft and it
skitters down the left field foul line
for two bases, scoring Merkle. When
Meyers comes up. Cady and O’Brien
hold a < onference. and it is evident that
the Sox catcher i« more than willing
that "Buck" retire. The stands are
cheering wildly now, and continue It
madly when O'Brien goes back to the
slab. Mevers singles and Herzog stops
at third, (tn a double steal the ele
phantine Meyers takes second and Her
zog scores. Il doesn’t go for a steal,
however, for the scorers soy Yerkes
handled the ball too slowly, and they
give him an error instead, (tn Eletch
i er's -afe hum Meyers scores EletCher
| i« then caught sleeping off first, from
I(I Brien tn Stahl. F've runs, six hits.
I one error.
SECOND INNING.
; Gardner gallops light off with a hit
lon the first ball Marquard sails across
the plate. It is an infield tap, but he
I beats it. Stahl singles cleanly to center
and Gardner takes second. There ap
pears "to have been a kink in the sig
nals, for Gardner should have made
third on "Ucli a tremendous wallop.
Wagm r fans on four pitched halls.
Marquard seems to be coming to life
heir. His fast one is terrific and he is
mixing it ui> with curve - in a. way that
ought to get any batsmen. Cady hoists
i foul to Meyers. Engle is sent In to
bat for O'Brien and delivers magnifi
cently with a double to left that scores
Gardner and Stahl. Hooper lifts a foul
to Meyers and is out.
Two, runs, three hits, one error.
Manager Stahl send-- Hay Collins In
for his second attempt against the
Giants Marquard encourages him with
a fly -out to Htahl. Devote take thr*'
straight strikes and retires, When

lins. I.arry then flies to Speaker. No
runs, no hits, no errors.
THIRD INNING.
Yerkes gets all that’s coming tn him
—two strikes and three balls —-and then
smashes a single to center. Speaker
lifts to Snodgrass. Dewis sails a low
liner down the left field foul line and
■Josh Devore takes it off his shoetip.
Gardner flies to Murray. It starts off
like a three-bagger, but Murray goes
to the bleachers after it and hauls it
down. It is marvelous fielding that is
saving Marquard now. No runs, one
hit. no error*.
Snodgrass pops to Yerkes. ‘Murray
tears off a long single, but foolishly
tries to make it a double, and is hurled
nut by a short city block, from Hooper
io Yetkes. It is poor coaching for the
Giants. Merkle beats out an infield tap
He tries to steal, but is nailed by Cady
to Wagner. No runs, two hits, no er
rors.
FOURTH INNING.
Stahl grounds to Herzog and beats t
for a hit. Wagner hits a liner towau
center field. Snodgrass turns before thr
noise of the hit reaches him and tears
away from the plate. It seem* a cinch
that the hall will sail over his head.
But on he springs and captures It. Cady
drops a "drooping liner” between Doyle
and Murray. Collins hits into a double
and he and Cady are out, Fletcher to
Doyle to Merkle. No runs, two hits, no
errors.
Herzog flies to Speaker. Meyer?
triples against the center field fence
Fletcher flies out to Speaker. Meyers
Is held at third. Marquard is out,
