Odds Are Now 3 to 1 Against McGraw’s Team—-Small Crowd on Hand Today. NKAV YORK. Oct. 14.—Crowds wjhirh hail hitherto besieged the Polo grotunds to get good seats for the games there between the Giants and Red Sox in the world’s championship baseball games were! aeking today. Less than twenty persons were in line outside ’he park at daybreak. \This was partly due to the raw weather which prevailed, but more gen erally’ to the belief that the Giants were out of the running and would not fig ure in this afternoon's contest. Although the weather was hazy, there was no sign of rain. It was-cool. The field was in good condition, and there was no doubt as to the games being play ed. Boston fans offered 3 to 1 on the outcome of the series, arid 10 to 8 bn this afternoon's game. As the Sox needed only one more game, while the Giants needed three consecutive victories, the local rooters were cautious about taking betting risks. The pitching probabilities for the sixth game of the series were Ray’ Col lins or .O'Brien, for Boston, and Mar quard or Crandall, for New York. Although Marquard’s arm was a lit tle lame, he pleaded that Manager John J. McGraw of the Giants send him in against the Red Sox, to see if he couldn't stein the tide of disaster which bad overwhelmed the New Yorks. Manager Jake Stahl of the Sox held ' ’’Smoky’ Joe” Wood in reserve, Al- ■ though the Sox had won three of the four games necessary to insure th" championship of the world, Stahl was cautious and refused to mak“ any pre dictions. "Os course, we expect to win the world’s championship." he said. Manager McGraw, for fear of causing further discouragement to an already downcast team, talked optimistically when asked what he thought of the ichances. ‘‘While we have to win three straight games, I believe the boys are equal to the occasion.” said he. "It is a big fight, but we are fighting to the last ditch. The qluh has been playing fat below its form.” j Players Sore Over Criticism. Trouble has broken out among the Giants because of criticism of the play ers. Center Fielder Snodgrass is angry because of criticism poured upon hi: head by McGraw Saturday for mishan. ■ dling Yerkes’ long fly, which allowed the runner to take three bases, whereas the Giant manager thought that the hit should have been only’ a single. Dissension has been caused by criti cism of the players who are writing expert criticism of the games for New York newspapers. Mathewson, who pitched Saturday's game, attributed his defeat to Snod grass’ play. Some of the players are not on speaking terms with each other as a result of newspaper reports. There was a possibility that tomor row’s gam.-, if it was necessary, would be played In New York. Members of the national commission announced that if the Giants won today they would flip a coin to choose the scene ( of Tuesday’s struggle. Both teams felt better physically t - i day.
