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 ae my name is Richard DeMarquis GORDON PLAYS LOCUST GROVE.

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.

' l (\ I I fl//// "'iWllil Trying To Y-eeP HrS s>at> '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. Never before has so laig> a crowd | passed through tin turnstiles of tin | National league park here The official attendance as announced by the Na tional commission was 110,393. the total ireeipts $21,197 <»f this amount, the National commission will receive $2,- 119 7b. each club gets s3,hl.', 49 and 111 44t> 38 goes to tile platers pool The crowd became so unmanageable I , In tin early part of the game that I' Was impossible for a huge detail of 1 polite to keep them from crowding onto I Ihe intieid ' dozen 01 mme park aflat h*-e am , . uehrls went to the tssistHmS ol til* i«*lite and w lien this fulled to put the I * rowtl took the National league play. •u< t.tth aimed with a bat went fol • to Its a* tft* • Son. 1 ime Ito • r. ,w .1 I ' * uti.eted and til* gam* was r* I • 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. WARNER DENIES THAT HE AND THORPE HAD FIGHT CARLISLE. PA. Oct. 14.—Coach I I Warner emphatically denies the news paper stories emanating from Pittsburg 1 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 ridieu -1 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 the.-e fellows down in no mild language and ale-' reprimanded Thorpe for tic- I opting the bottle. Thorpe explained later that he accepted the hottie for tiie reason that he did not wish to of- . tend tin donors and not because lie In tended to use it NO UMPIRING JOB FOR O'DAY.

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.
