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 Doyl* comes tip, thr 80-ton 'ontingont 11 and lets "tit a big < povi for t'ol- K EM 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE 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, Yerkes to Stahl. No runs, one hit, no errors. FIFTH INNING. Hooper flies to Murray and he makes a great catch. Yerkes flies out to Mur. ray. Speaker flies out to Herzog. No runs, no hit*, no errors. t Devore singles over second. The bal drops between Speaker and Yerkes. Doyle flies to Wagner.
