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 IMITATING MARQUARD. BOY BREAKS HIS ARM HARTFORD CITY, IND .

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AXD TOBER 16. W. jA 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.

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. is aixom h SHV3A zi asHsmvxsa hotivi M3ISVW ‘H3AV3M WOI AVIS 01 3H3H 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.

Largest Indepsndent Cigar Factory in ths World J ' N ' HIRSCH ' £• L. ADAMS 4 CO., Distributors. Atlanta. Ga. JjF; 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.,
