Mwx fill BE MAROLIARD THINKS HE CAN WNJDIY By Riihe Marquard. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. -Today is the day that I will forever put the quietus on that "eleven thou sand dollar lemon” title. Also today is the day that the (Slants get back in the running—the day that we will hand out a stinging defeat to those red hosed athletes from cultured Boston, the day that will start the Giants on the road to three successive wins and the world’s championship for the year of 1912. All of which proves that it’s going to be quite some day. When I was a mere slip of a lad my mother schooled me in not boasting about myself. 1 have never forgotten it. either, hut 1 think it is my due to my teammates, to Manager McGraw and to the loyal Giant fans to an nounce that 1 am fit and ready to bring another victory to New York. If 1 were not in shape to pitch this evening, I would not go in. if I had the hast doubt that 1 was not right on edge. 1 would refuse to work, even though I might be. called "yellow" for not taking my turn. Rut Rube Mar quard is right and he is going to win. I worked out for an hour yesterday evening at the Polo grounds. My arm was a little kinky and I feared at first that I would not be right for today’s game; but soon all the soreness left the arm and last night it felt like a million dollars. There js one thing T ask—the Giants must give me a run. You know no pitcher can win unless the men behind him score at least one man. Take that game Saturday In Boston— Matty pitched the very best game of his life, but could not win because the Giants could not secure enough runs. I don’t believe I will need over one run to win today, but I will stake my end of the world's series money on my self if the Giants will give me a pair of tallies. If we land today's game (and there is no reason why 1 should say “if"), it's a cinch that Big Jeff Tesreau will come through with a victory tomorrow over in Boston. With these two wins we will be back on even terms with the Bed Sox, and then what Matty will do in that deciding game—shut out! sure as my name is Richard DeMarquis. GORDON PLAYS LOCUST GROVE.

The honor goes to Ed Reul bach, with Ed Walsh and Morde cai Brown close behind. As might be expected when star pitchers, backed by star teams, meet in the world's series, low hit games are not uncommon. In fact, the history of the world’s baseball combats shows that 14 times pitch ers have held opponents to less than five hits. Reulbach, of the Cubs established the record, holding the White Sox to one hit in a game in 1906. Walsh and Brown pitched two-hit games the same year. Here is the record; One-Hit Game.

"Red Sox Have Things Sewed Up and Should Get Away,” Says Smith TODAY’S GAME WILL BE LAST BATTLE OF SERIES I I By Billy Smith. NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—This aft ernoon the Giants and Red Sox hook up in what I am sure will be the final battle of the world’s series. With a lead of three to one. the Red Sox no longer will play the careful game that has characterized their work thus far. but will open up. take desperate chances, and probably cop by a good score. The Red Sox are in a better fix today than were the Athletics just before they won their final game last fall In Philadelphia, and you know what a trouncing the Mack men handed out then —13 to 2 was the final count. Once a team gets the idea that they have it on their opponents, a slaughter usually results; and the Boston players have the winning idea soaked far into their think tanks. Rut today Boston will have to face the man who downed them for their only defeat Rube Marquard. 1 have heard it said that this southpaw has “feathers on his legs," but I don’t believe it. I bad a long talk with him yesterday aft ernoon, and believe he is the most confident, cocky player I ever knew. Marquard Expects To Wn. “Billy,” he said. “I’m going to win my game tomorrow just as sure as you are going to manage the At lanta team next season.” Now, here is just the way 1 size up the situation today Boston will either win by a one-sided count or Marquard will hold them close to a shut-out. An extreme will predominate. There won't be any closeness. Collins will probably draw the mound assignment from .lake Stahl. There is just a chance that O'Brien, the spitball heaver, may get the draw, but 1 doubt it. Col lins is recognized—or rather has been recognized as Boston’s sec ond best heaver Now. Collins is a grand pitcher, despite the fact that he lost his game on Thursday, and he lost that game simply because he tried to put the ball over the plate too much. He was afraid of getting himself in the hole, and after he had pitched a ball or two. witli no strikes on the batter, he would put it in the groove, in.- st«ad of cutting the corners 1 believe Collins derived a lot of experience from bis first out. and if he takes his time, figures out what he should do with each chuck. I look for him to come near to re peating Bedient's performance of Saturday Mathawaon a Marvel. Before 1 go any further, I must get all this enthusiasm out of no system about Christy Mathewson I limwt and greatest of all living pit. tiers. He pitched THE game of his long .Hirer Saturday and was beaten, but my hat goeg off tn him \fter n’t. Il wax th* old. old story youth tnu>l lie served. H*l* ..it * p|< battle bet w . . n a tried and true veteran and an un heard-of youth. We older fans in that Boston crowd felt a pang of regret when we saw the fall of the mighty Ma thewson. Yet. though beaten in a sportsmanlike, fair, clean battle by a younger man—whose muscles were more supple, whose enthusi asm was greater, and w hose ambi tion spurred him on to his ultimate effort—New York’s idol pulled him self together when he saw the tide of battle going against him. and, after all the harm had been done, rose in his might and gave one of the most remarkable pitching exhi bitions I ever sa w . After the Third "Nothing Doing." After one man had been put out in the third inning. Mathewson did not permit a Red Sox runner to reach first base. They quailed be fore his pitching, these hard hit ting speed boys, and went down in one-two-three order in every in ning. Only two balls were knocked to the outfield. Matty’s last desperate effort was the sudden renewal of his skill of other days. He became young again. The ball flew over the plate with remarkable speed, his pace changed, and his tangents dipped tantalizingiy over and under the Boston bats. Gameness and grit and Matty's remarkable talent of outguessing batsmen made up for his missing strength. That eleven-inning game of Wednesday had been the tough est game lie had pitched in half a dozen years, but he went confident ly and willingly into the fray. He knew his best days as a pitcher were over, but he rose to a su preme effort and showed that he was still master of his art. If by any possible chance the Giants should get on even terms RECORD-BREAKING CROWD SEES CUBS DEFEAT SOX CHICAGO, Oct. 14. The Chicago Na tional league club defeated the local duh of the American league. 4 to 2, yesterday, in the series which is to decide the city championship. This is the second victory for the Nationals Two games resulted in ties. The game was a battle between Walsh and Reulbach Walsh allowed seven hits, two of which were doubles and one a home run. while Reulbach was touched for eight four of which were doubles. Never before has so large a crowd passed through the turnstiles of the National league park here. The official attendance as announced bj the Na tional commission was 30.393, the total receipts $21,197. Os this amount, the National commission will receive s.',- 119.70. each club gets $3.815 46. and sll 446 38 goes to the players' pool The crowd became so unmanageable In the eatlj part of the game that I 1 was Impossible for a large detail of police to keep them from crowding onto I ihe Infield A dozen oi more park attaches and I uahers went to the assistance of the I i dice and when this failed to put the croud back the National league play | ■•is. each armed with a ba' went to |t • lesctii Xftei numt time the crowd «»• quieted, and 4hr gain* was rr 1 aimed with the Red Sox. I believe I would hedge that SSO bet I have on the Boston team, if Matty was called upon to do the hurling in that deciding struggle. But there won't be any need or any chance for me to hedge, for if the Red Sox don't win today, Stahl will surely send "Smoky Joe” Wood back at them tomorrow, and Wood can beat the Giants any time and as often as he starts. Giants Have Given Up. For the first time in the series I noticed Saturday that after the third inning the Giants failed to show the fight that had marked their previous engagements. My conclusion is that after their de feat Friday at the hand of Wood they figured their only remaining hope was Mathewson, and with his defeat their hope of winning a world's championship had practi cally fled. I feared on account of that un fortunate collision between Cady and Fletcher at the plate on the Polo grounds Friday the relations between the two teams might be come strained, but there was no semblance of any hard feeling Saturday. Cady and Fletcher were apparently on good terms, while right after Herzog had gone out he ran over to Speaker, with whom he had been at outs since last Wednesday’s eleven-inning game, and shook his hand. Both agreed to call the grievance off. While I picked the Red Sox to win. 1 must admit that the Giants have given them a much harder fight than I thought they ’would. 1 have never witnessed a series where the two teams were more evenly matched. In fact, if they were to start a new set of games tomorrow I would not know which one to back. WARNER DENIES THAT HE AND THORPE HAD FIGHT CARLISLE. PA., Oct. 14.—Coach Warner emphatically denies the news paper stories emanating from Pittsburg to the effect that he had a physical en counter with Captain “Jim" Thorpe after the Washington and Jefferson game. The only occurrence which could have given rise to such a ridicu lous story was the fact that while wait, ing at the hotel in Pittsburg for the train home Coach Warner observed two admirers of Thorpe presenting him with a bottle of whisky. Warner called these fellows down in no mild language and also reprimanded Thorpe for ac cepting the bottle. Thorpe explained later that he accepted the bottle for the reason that he did not wish to of fend the donors and not because he in tended to use it NO UMPIRING JOB FOR O’DAY. EVEN IF FIRED NEW YORK.
