RUBE IMROUAREI
THINKS HE CAN
ININ TODAY
By Rube Marquard.
K TEW YORK, Oct. 14. Today is the
day that 1 will forever put the
quietus on that “eleven thou
sand dollar lemon" title.
Also today is the day that the Giants
get hack 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 prove, that it's going to
be quite some day.
When I was a nu t slip of a lad niy t
mother schooled me in not boasting I
about myself. I have never forgotten'
it. either, but I think it is my due to ,
my teammates, to Manager McGraw |
and to the loyal Giant fans to an
nounce that I Am fit and ready to bring i
anotht . ? « Yorl
If I were not in shape to pitch this
evening, 1 would not go in; if I had
the least doubt that I was not right on
edge. I would refuse to work, even
- though I might be called ' yellow" for
tint taking my turn. Rut Rube Mar
quarrt is right and be is going to win.
I worked out for an hour yesterday
evening at the Polo grounds. My arm
r. i- a little kinky and 1 feared at first
that I would not be right for today's
game: hut soon all the soreness left
the arm and last night it felt like a
million dollars
There is t one thing I ask- the Giants
must give me a run You know no ;
pitcher can win unless the men behind I
him score at least one man. Take that j
game Saturday in Boston Matty I
pitched the very best game of his life,
hut could not win because the Giants j
could not secure enough runs
I don't believe I will need over one I
run to win today, but I will stake my l
end of tho w orld's series money' on my- I
self if the Giants will give me a pair |
of tallies.
If we land today's game (and there
is no reason why I should say “if"),
it's a cinch that Big Jeff T-sreau will
come through with a victory tomorrow
over in Boston With these two wins
we will be back on even terms with the
Red Sox and then what Matty will do:
in that deciding game -shut oiltl sure j

Record of Series for
Few-Hit Games Not in
Any Danger This Year
Ed Reulbach, of the Cubs, Pitch
ed One-Hit Game Against Sox
in Series of 1906.
rTA HE excellent work of Bedient
| in Saturday’s game brought
up the question of who was the
best pitcher of world's series his
tory. The honor goes to Ed Reul
bach, with Ed Walsh and Morde
cai Brown close behind.
As might be expected when stat
pitchers* backed by star teams,
meet in the world's series, low hit
games a re’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.

'U'/y ON HIS VWORK
"Red Sox Have Things Sewed Up and Should Get Away,” Says Smith
TODAY’S GAME WILL BE LAST BATTLE OF SERIES
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—l 3 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
But today Boston will have to
face the man who downed them for
their only defeat—Rube Marquard.
1 have heart! it said that this
southpaw has "feathers on his
legs." but 1 don't believe It. I had
a long talk with him yesterday aft
ernoon. and believe he is the most
confident, cocky player 1 ever knew.
Marquarrf Expects To Wm,
"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 I size
up the situation today Boston will
either win by a one-sided count or
Marquard will hold them close to a
shut-o ut.
An extreme will predominate.
There won't be any closeness.
Collins will probably draw the
mound assignment from .Jake Stahl.
There is just a chance that
• •'Brien, the spitball heaver, may
get the draw, but I doubt it. Col
lins is recognized -or rather has
been recognized—as Boston's sec
ond best heaver Now. Collins is a
grand piti het . respite the fact that
he lost his game on Thursday, and
he lost that game simply’ because
he tried to put the ball over the
[date too much. He was afraid of
getting himself In the hole, and
after lie had pitched a ball or two.
with no strikes on the batter he
would put it in the groove. In
stead of cutting the corners
I believe Collins derived a lot of
experience from his first out and if
he takes his time figures out what
he should do w itli each chm k. I
look for him to i ome near to re
peating Bedient’s fierfoi niance of
Sat in da y
Mathewson a Marvel.
Before I go any further, I must
get all this enthusiasm out of my
system about Christy Mathewson
Igamest and greatest of all living
[rllt beta. Hr pitched THE game of
I his long ■ areer Saturday and was
i I'eatrn. but my hat goes off to him
After HI I! Was the old, o|d
story youth must Ire sr iy • d
Hi t* was an i [•!< hattli between
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 whose ambi
tion spurred him on to his ultima e
effort —New York's idol pulled him
self togefhet 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
the most remarkable pitching exhi
bitions I ever.saw.
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, ants 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
tantalizingly 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 he 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, hut 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. < >vt. 14 The Chicago Na
tional league club defeated the local
club of the American league. 4 to 2.
yesterday, in the series which is to
decide the citv championship. This is
the second victory for the Nationals
Two games resulted in ties.
The game was a battle between
Walsh and Reulbxch Walsh allowed
seven hits, two of which were doubles
and one a home tain, w hile R< ulbach
was touched for eight, four of which
were doubles.

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 Mathecvson. 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.
I 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.

Vanderbilt-Virginia
Game Will Be Hottest
Betting Event of Year
Nashville Men Send $5,000 to
Memphis to Cover an
Amount of Virginia Money.
Memphis, tenn., Oct. 14.
That the Vanderbilt-Vir
ginia game, which will be
played in Nashville early in No- '
vember, will be the biggest betting
proposition of the Southern fall
season was indicated here today
when an offer was n.ade through a
special emissary froni Nashville to
cover a $5,000 commission which
has been in the hands of local Vir
ginia enthusiasts for several weeks.
The Virginfans originally asked
for even money, but today when it
became known that Vanderbilt
backing had arrived odds were
asked.
It is likely that Bruce Johnson.
"Young" Caldwell and other Van
derbilt sympathizers who are said
to be behind the Vanderbilt "pool”
will offer odds of 100 to 90 by Tues
day, when final stakes will be post
ed in what promises to be the big
gest wager ever made on a South
ern football game in one lump sum.
