By Rube Marquard. Boston, mass. Oct. 16.—The Boston team blew up yester . d»Y. The "old German quinsy" at tacked their throats, and they quit cold. After the first inning yesterday, they threw up their hands. They were so sore that they wouldn’t talk to us. And. worst of all. they are fight ing among themselves. I heard some remarks passed by them that would burn up the. type writer if I tried to write them. , They called each other names I that would have made the yellow ( 1 st dog In the world fight. i I’ll bet there isn't one of them who slept last night. I I think that Joe Wood’s arm has i gone back He looked very bad yesterda-x He couldn't seem to let it out. Wood's Arm Went Bad. I beliexe 1 was the first to no- I tice it. The first ball he served up to little Josh Devore in that open ing inning was wide and high. Ills arm is gone!” I cried to Mc- Graw. and Mac nodded back that , he thought so too. It was on that fust pitched ball . that I 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- i man victory. Every man on the team was on ’ his toes and displayed his best brand, and It was a good thing for Tesreau that the boys were with him. for he didn't have one of his good days. The other two games that he pitched were much better. But the big fellow tightened up re -1 rnarkably in the pinches. More Bouquets For Devore. Once again my bat goes off to my room mate. Josh Devore. This boy sure has proved his worth in this series. There never was a garnet youngster, and he ahvays comes along and does the right thing at s the tight time. He made three catches out in that right garden 1 that were nutrvels, and he sure , showed a fitil- peg when he nailed Hall at the plate, after spearing Speaker's drive to deep right that looked like a homqr. The manner in which Snodgrass and Fletcher have come hack to life is nothing short of marvelous, ■ and proves that they are game, up hill fighters, who don’t know what I the word "quit" means. I must admit ’that 1 was a bit shaky about them along about the third game. But right now there ‘ Isn't a man on the team whom 1 had rather she up in the pineh or going after a desperate chance than , either of them.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS.WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16. By Billy Smith. FaENWAY 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 in the ranks of the American champions. According to this same report, "Smokey Joe” Wood's poor show ing in uesday's game against ttie 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 Prt idem 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 the report was circumstantially con firmed. It was related how O'Brien went to Manage, 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 ihat "if it hadn't been for your bum work, we would have the se ries einched and the money in out pockets." O'Brien, lot answer, swung'with his fist on Wood's jaw and “Smok ey” Joe went down, according to re port, and Catcher Carrigan, who was standing nearby, then floored • t'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 tile 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 chipper, and caused gasps of amazement t om the Boston fans by singing in horns "Tessie," the Red Sox bat tle song one that McGraw has here tofore considered his particular Jinx Tile practice work of both teams was watched closely t>\ 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. Tin Sox were mote deliberately careful, and less spectacular in their work The field was in excellent shape, the infield hail been sprinkled an hour before game time to settle the dust which blew into the exes of the infielders yesterday Th- rumored dissensions of the Be<l Sox found a denial in the at tituibs of th.- Bostonians during Report Leaks Out of Young Riot Last Night in Club House of Red Sox Team O’BRIEN IS SAID TO HAVE KNOCKED OCT WOOD •••••••••••••••••••••••••a • Attendance 32,694; : • Receipts $57496: • —— • • BOSTON.

They seemed very chum my, laughed and joked with each other. Silk O’Lioughlin officiated behind the bat. Rigler on bases, and Kletn 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 it 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 w'no have been making the daily journeys to New York and who have kept a band engaged by the week were deprived of their seats yeste day and had no place to root. In arranging for the sale of tick ets for the Tuesday game. Secre tary Mcßoy neglected to a»l< th* loyal rooters what they wanted 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 titheis they were keen ly disappointed. In fact, they were so bitter that they refused to root. After the game they paraded the field groaning and "booing " for the Bu-uiii management. Ihe bitterness of these fans, who-,- loyalty appears to have been ruthlessly disregarded, and tile 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- 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. t'nt particularly well known Bos ton gambler, who handled a poo| of sso,onn to bet on the gime plax ed at New York Monday, swears tha' lie was jobbed out of hie money. and is screaming like a wounded wolf around the lobbies of the ho tel. It seems that the gamblers 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 people 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 the Sox (or the sudden ar rival at form by the Giants) was a sad 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 1. 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 wo 1 ked on Boston's nerves until the whole town quivered in apprehension. Tn 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 Ihe playing of world series games, as it necessitated eight contests to settle the championship. Detroit and Pittsburg played seven games, as did Boston and Pittsburg, but this is tile first lime that a tie game has figured Hint made tin race go into the eighth frame. I’larh this morning it was learn ed that Joe Wood and "Buck'' O'Bi ien had a fight in the club house before the game yesterday, and tliai Carrigan got between them. Another rumor had ii that the argument was continued after the game, and that the feeling be tween certain of the Red Sox play ers is intensely bitter. xs aixom h SHV3A Zt (iSKsnavisS twin 33XSVH ‘H3AV3M wox AVXBOXIH3H Local Motorcycle Club Plans Race Meet for Saturday at Piedmont Track Has Been Put in Fine Con dition and Good Program Planned—lt’s Free. >* N event unique among local ZA 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 board, has put the Pied mont park track' in excellent con dition for this meet,, and the track will preeent a hard, fast and safe surface. There will be a flve-mile 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.

Ga jfw WOOD’S ARM GOT CHILLED, SATS CARRIGAN By Bill Carrigan. Boston, mass,, oct. is.-r pose the less said about /eaters day’s game the better. I would like to be let off with about six worda but will go through wtth my part of it just the same. Joe Wood is a. man who need* to constantly warm. There was a delas just as the game was about to wwL owing to the fact that the ro-cwUet loyal rooters broke Into the field. Wood was ready to step tn the box u 2 o’clock. The policemen took nearfy eight winy utes to get the rooters back behind ths fence, and in the meantime Wood cooled off. Then, again, the weather suddenly turned cold just at that time, Be tM« as it may, when Joe did start to pttoht the Giants had little trouble httting tbd ball. They were off to a slx-rnn leafy and there was no catching them. That tells the story tn a few •wwda. It was a i>oor game of ball ali thq way. The Giants looked as bad as did in the field. Os course, the htgi, wind mixed everything up and xnany balls that fell safe, especially three M the pop-up variety, would have beer, the eaelest kind of oaitahes ts the wind hadn't been blowing so fiercely. The dust blinded the eyes of the player, and there were many errons. We had plenty of chances to win, even with the big lead against tB, btrtf we could not profit by the opportunity Three or four times during the game ai clean-up hit would have put an entire-, ly different complexion on the game. The Giants were not sure of as it was at any stage of the game and( half expected him to blow. One goofy solid clout when we had men on baess would have put him tn the str. Tesreau held on gamely, and on the whole pitched a good gsrie, considering the ragged support he r»« ceived. Charlie Hall also pttohed good Mfy although his support at ttmea was nnfl of the best. Where a team wins erwsr off aa tM Giants did, the reason for thfftr vtetorf can be plainly seen, and it takes fw* words to tell them. An error or two more by either team wouM not hare changed much, as I said on» our men had delivered a two or three base clout whan we had the base, choked. Such is ball.
