Back to Mound.
BdSTtIX, Oct. 16.—Favored in the
betting and from everj angle of base
ball reasoning, the New York Giants
went to Fenway park today supremely
confident of victory over the Red Sox
in the deciding battle of the most thrill
ing and bitterly fougnt world's series
battle in baseball history.
Looked upon as hopeless contenders
48 hours ago. when the count stood 3 to
1 again. -t them.' the Giants, by virtue
of their two slashing victories which
tide the count, apparently have dazed
and rout'd their rivals and have be
come imbued w’th a daeii and a confi
ib'me which threatens to sweep every
filling before it.
And yet the final game today—the
eighth—gives promise of being the
most brilliant and desperately fought of
the entire series. Approximately $30.-
000 of piaye s’ Warnings hangs in the
balance. ■ difference of about 81.300
each between the awards to the win
ning' and losing players.

than 500 battles, the man who never
failed in a crucial moment of nearly
thirteen years of diamond warfare, will

claims that he m-ver was better in his
