“Red Sox Quit Cold in
Yesterday's Game" Is
Verdict of Marquard
“Old German Quinsy Has At
tacked Their Throats,' ’ Says
Giant Pitcher.
By Rube Marquard.
Boston, mass., oct. 16.—The
Borton team blew up yester
day.
The “old Orman quinsy" at
tacked their throats, and they quit
cold.
After the first Inning yesterday,
they threw up their bands.
They were so sore that they
wouldn't talk to ue.
And, worst of all, they are fight
ing among themselves.
1 heard some remarks passed by
them that would burn up the type
writer If I tried to write them.
They called each other names
that would have made the yellow
est dog In the world fight.
I'll bet there Isn't one of them
who slept last night,
I think that .Toe Wood’s a-rm has
gone back. He looked very bad
yesterday. He couldn’t seem to let
it out.i
Wood’s Arm Went Bad.
I believe I was the first to no
tice it. The first ball he served up
to little Joerti Devore in that open
ing inning wus wide and high.
’’His arm Is gone!" I cried to Mc-
Graw, and Mac nodded baok that
be thought so too.
It was on that first pitched ball
that 1 was confident we had the
series won I knew- that we would
get to Wood, and once we got him
out of the way, the title was as
good as cinched.
yesterday’s victory was no one
man victory,
Klvery man on the team was on
hie toes and displayed his best
brand, and It was a good thing
for Tesroau that the boys were with
him. fbr he didn’t have one of bis
good days. Tlie other two games
that he pitched were much better.
But the big fellow tightened up re
markably In the pinches.
More Bouquets For Devore.
Once again my hat goes off to my
room mate. Josh Devore. This boy
sure has proved hie worth tn this
series. There never was a gamer
youngster, and he always comes
along and does the right thing at
the right time. He made three
catches out in that right garden
that were marvels, and he sure
showed a fine peg when he nailed
Hall at the plate, after spearing
Speaker’s drive to deep right that
looked like a homer.
The manner In which Snodgrass
and Fletcher have come back to
life Is nothing short of marvelous,
and proves that they are game, up
hill fighters, who don't know what
the word “quit'.' means,
I must admit that \ was a bit
shaky about them alonfr about the
third game. But right now there
Isn't a man on the team whom I
had rather see up In the pvlnch or
going after a desperate chance than
either of them

Report Leaks Out of Young Riot Last Night in Club House of Red Sox Team
O’BRIEN IS SAID TO HAVE KNOCKED OUT WOOD
By Billy Smith.
Fenway park, boston.
Oct. 16.—As the Red Sox took
the field for practice this aft
ernoon for the deciding game of the
greatest world’s series in the his
tory of baseball, a report was per
sistently circulated that trouble had
broken out tn the ranks of the
American champions.
According to this same report,
•’Smokey Joe” Wood's poor show
ing in uesday's game against the
New York Nationals was the re
sult of a knockout delivered last
night by Pitcher ’'Buck” O’Brien,
fololwing Wood’s taunts over the
loss of Monday's game, which
O’Brien started to pitch.
"There is nothing to that story,"
declared President James McAleer, of
the Boston Americans, when ques
tioned.
A number of the players pleaded
Ignorance of any fracas when inter
rogated.
Denials Are Plentiful.
But in spite of these denials (hi
report was circumstantially con
firmed. It was related how O'Brien
went to Manager Jake Stahl Sat
urday night and asked to pitch
Monday. Stahl consented, despite
Wood's pleadings to be allowed to
go Into the game Monday and "fin
ish it up." *
After the game. Wood is said to
have gone to O’Brien and remarked
that "if it hadn’t been for your
bum work, we would have the se
ries cinched and the money in our
pockets."
O'Brien, for answer, swung with
his fist on Wood’s jaw and "Smok
ey" Joe went down, according to re
port, and Catcher Carrigan, who
wac standing nearby, then floored
O'Brien
This Game Settles It.
When the Giants and Red Sox
hooked It up for the eighth game,
there was at stake $30,000. the dif
ference between the purse of the
winning and losing teams.
The sky was cloudless, the bright
sunshine had chased away the
morning frost, and the strong wind
died down just before game time.
There were early indications that
the crowd would tax the capacity of
the park.
Giants Sing Jinx Song.
The Giants came onto the field at ’
12 :45 o'clock, lively and .shipper,
and caused gasps of anttfzement
from the Boston fans by singing in
chorus "Tessie,” the Red Sox bat
tle song, one that McGraw has here
tofore considered his particular
jinx.
The practice work of both teams
was watched closely by the baseball
sharps. The Giants seemed bub
bling with confidence and displayed
flashes of brilliancy, but it was evi
dent that they were highly nerv
ous.
Tlie Sox were more deliberately
careful, and less spectacular in,
their work. 'w.
The field was in excellent shape,
ttie infield had been sprinkled an
hour before game time to settle
the dust which blew into the eyes
of the infielders yesterday.
The rumored dissensions "of the
Red Sox found a denial in the at
titudes of he Rncionfans during

practice. They seemed very chum
my. laughed and joked with each
other.
Silk O’Loughlin officiated behind
the bat, Rigler on bases, and Klem
and Evans on the foul lines.
The Boston club has been against
the gaff for days now and it can
’ not be said that yesterday ft show'-
a lion heart.
The unexpected and vicious at
tack of the Giants came so quickly
that the American league cham
pions lost their bearings and their
pitchers appeared to be at the
mercy of any batter that came up
with a stick.
Sox Rooters Very Sore.
As a result of yesterday’s de
feat, the city of Boston is in the
midst of a turmoil that has upset
the even tenor of things consider
ably.
The Hub baseball fans, known as
the most loyal in the world, have
split with the owners of the Red
Sox. and Mayor Fitzgerald has
taken the side of the rooters.
This morning the mayor started
a petition asking for the removal of
Robert Mcßoy as secretary of the
Boston club.
It seems that the loyal band of
rooters who have been making the
daily journeys to New York and
who have kept a band engaged by
the week were deprived of their
seats yesterday and lft.d no place
to root
In arranging for the sale of tick
ets for the Tuesday game. Secre
tary Mcßoy neglected to ask the
loyal rootere what they wanted 1 and
put on public sale the seats that
they have held right along.
When they marched Into the
park and found their beloved spot
occupied by others they were keen
ly disappointed. In fact, they were
so bitter that they refused to root.
After the game they paraded the
Paid groaning and "booing" for the
Boston management.
The bitterness of these fans,
whose loyalty appears to have been
ruthlessly disregarded, and the de
feat of the Red Sox by the Giants
had thrown the whole town in tur
moil and the feeling Is pervading
the club house of the Boston play
ers.
Gamblers Are "Hollering."
As a result of this panicky con
dition of the Boston team, the gam
blers of the town, showing them
selves in true colors, are letting
forth a terrible squawk and claim
ing that the game is not on the
level.
One particularly well known Bos
ton gambler, who handled a poo! of
$20,000 to bet on the game played
at New York Monday. «wears that
he was jobbed out of his money.
and Is screaming like a wounded
wolf around the lobbies of the ho
tel.
It seems that the gambiers had
been assured that Joe Wood was
going to pitch that game, and when
Buck O’Brien went in and was
trimmed, up went the yell. To get
even, they made another plunge on
Wood yesterday, and when he was
shot from the mound in one in
ning and the Sox unmercifully
beaten, the bank roll was gone.
The gamblers are now complain
ing that the games are fixed, while
the baseball people, who for years
have tried to free Boston of bet
ting on the games, are laughing at
the discomfiture of the light-fin
gered gentry.
While the pebple of Boston may
smile at the hard luck of the gam
blers, there was nothing else last
night that appealed to their sense
of humor. The sudden reversal of
form by tne Sox (or the sudden ar
rival at form by the Giants)
was a s«d and deadening blow to
the fans and experts who a week
ago were bubbling over with confi
dence born of superheated enthu
siasm. They painted so many rosy
views of the situation that they ac
tually began to look upon the
Giants as a minor league club that
did not have so much as a look-in
‘‘Victory Dinner” Put Off.
When the Sox had won three
games to the Giants’ one. the Sox
fans thought the race was over.
Already two celebrations have
been postponed on account of the
Giants suddenly nosing their way
to the front.
Though Jimmie McAleer and
John I. Taylor are trying to keep it
secret, it is well known around Bos
ton that they were having covers
laid for quite a "victory dinner"
last night.
These annoying delays in hav
ing the Red Sox proclaimed cham
pions worked on Boston’s nerves
until the whole town quivered in
apprehension.
In the meantime, the Giants, hav
ing already been declared out of
the running, plugged along and
took things easy. They were
laughing at the discomfiture of the
Sox.
Eight Games For First Time.
The victory of the Giants yester
day established a record in the
playing of world sei les games, as it
necessitated eight contests- to
settle the championship. Detroit
and Pittsburg played seven games,
as did Boston and Pittsburg, but
this is the first time that a tie game
has'Tigured that made the race go
into the eighth frame.
Early this morning it was learn
ed that Joe Wood and "Buck"
O'Brien had a fight in the club
house before the game yesterday,
and that Carrigan got between
them. Another rumor had it that
tite argument was continued after
tlie game, and that the feeling be
tween certain of the Red Sox play
ers is Intensely bitter.

Local Motorcycle Gab
Plans Race Meet for
Saturday at Piedmont
Track Has Been Put in Fine Con
dition and Good Program
Planned—lt’s Free.
AN event unique among local
sporting events Is that which
has been arranged by the At
lanta Motorcycle club for next Sat
urday afternoon at Piedmont park.
The affair will be a big, free series
of motorcycle races.
The best of Atlanta's motorcycle
riders, amateur and professional,
have been secured for this event,
and the races are being advertised
as sure thrillers.
Star work is expected from the
professionals who will take part
Harry Glenn. Ollie Roberts, Hal
Gilbert and Jim Prichard. These
men rank with the best in the
South, as they demonstrated at the
recent meet at Rome, where they
swept everything before them.
General Manager Dan Carey, of
the park boqrd, has put the Pied
mont park track in excellent con
dition for fhis meet, and the track
will present a hard, fast and safe
surface.
There will be a fiye-tnile amateur
race for single-cylinder motorcy
cles. a five-mile race for twin-cyl
inder motorcycles, amateur riders;
a five-mile single-cylinder race for
professional riders: a ten-mile
twin-cylinder race for professional
riders; a five-mile junk race for
old and decrepit motorcycles of the
vintage of 1908 and 1909, and then
an Australian pursuit race.
Motorcycle race experts declare
this to he a well balanced card.
There will be 20 to 40 entries. The
affair is strictly for local club rid
ers. Chief Beavers has promised
ample protection No one will be
allowed to cross the course, and no
spectators will be allowed on the
inside of the track. The long con
tinued efforts of the Motorcycle
club to get the use of the Piedmont
track have at last been rewarded,
and the Motorcycle club is deter
mined to show the park board and
the public that they know how to
pull off a good race meet that will
be interesting and safe.
The races will be called promptly
at 1:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
and should be finished in time for
the crowd to go to the lootball
game, which begins at 3:30. A large
attendance is expected, especially
as no admission will be charged.
Some distinguished citizen will
be secured to fire the gun that
starts the first race.

WOOD’S ffl DDT
CHILLED, SAYS
■IGIN
By Bill Carrigan.
Boston, mass., Oct. i«.-i sup .
pose the less said about yester
day's game the better. I would
like to be let off with about six words,
but wil] go through with my part of it
just the same.
Joe Wood is a man who needs to bt
constantly warm. There was a delay
just as the game was about to start,
ovt ing to the fact that the so-called
loyal rooters broke into the field.
Wood was ready to step in the box at
2 o'clock
The policemen took nearly eight min
utes to get the rooters baejj behind the
fence, and in the meantime Wood cooled
off. Then, again, the weather suddenly
turned cold just at that time. Be this
as it may, when Joe did start to pitch
the Giants had little trouble hitting the
ball. They were off to a six-run lead,
and there was no catching them.
That tells the story in a few words.
It was a poor game of ball all the
wav. The Giants looked as bad as we
did in the field. Os course, the high
wind mixed everything up and many
balls that fell safe, especially those of
the pop-up variety, would have been
the easiest kind of catches if the u nd
hadn't been blowing so fiercely." The
dust blinded the eyes of the players
and there were many errors.
We had plenty of chances to win.
even with the big lead against us. but
we could not profit by the opportunity
Three or four times during the game a
< lean-up hit would have put an entire
ly different complexion on the game.
The Giants were not sure of Tesreau
as it was at any stage of the game and
half expected him to blow. One good,
solid clout when we had men on bases
would have put him in the air.
Tesreau held on gamely, however,
and on the whole pitched a good game,
considering .the ragged support he re
ceived.
Charlie Hall also pitched good ball,
although his support at times was not
of the best.
Where a team wins away off as the
Giants did, the reason for their victory
can be plainly seen, and it takes few
words to tell them. An error or tw"
more by either team would not have
changed much, unless, as I said, one of
our men had delivered a two or thre<
base clout when we had the bases
choked. Such.,
