Maybe Giants Were Unlucky-
It Looked Like Punk Playing
By Ku.be Marquard.
Boston, mass., oct. 17.—i
don't like to take glory away
from a victor, but the Red
Sox are the luckiest world's cham
pions that ever lived., They won
the deciding battle, hut if they
hadn’t secured every break there
was in the game they would never
have scored a run, let alone win
Poor Matty, the big fellow, great
est of ail pitchers, and the very best
fellow in the world was beaten out
of a victory’. I would willingly
give up my entire share of the re
ceipts to have seen him win—yes,
would be willing to give up my life
to have seen him pull through to
the victory that rightfully belonged
to him
And I feel very sorry for Snod
grass
I suppose he will be blamed for
our loss, the most costly loss there
ever was in the annals of the na
tional pastime. He dropped that
long fit of Engle's, and it, paved the
way to a Boston victory; but I
don't have any hard feeling toward
him. No. J don't. in fact, my
heart bleeds for him. It was not a
bone play, simply an error, and
thers is no perfect man. fate was
against him. and you can't down
fate.
Punk Playing Here.
It was an error that beat us Not
an nrmr that shows In the official
records, but an error that counted
a thousand times as much —an er
ror of judgment. Tt was on a foul
pop that Speaker raised between
the plate and first base in the
tenth inning. Merkle thought Mey
ers had it, and Meyers thought Mer
kle had ft. And it fell safe. It
wasn’t a bone play, but again it
was slmpty a case where fate ruled.
a«id fate anchored on the Red Sox
bench all afternoon.
That was the play that coat us
the game, for on the next ball
Speaker, who by all rights of i>er
centaga should have been out, drove
a line single to right. This scored
Rlngle, and left Boston Winners on
third and second. Matty tried hard
to fan Gardner, but Garry was not
to be denied, and slammed a long
sacrifice fly to Devore in deep right.
Yerkes had no trouble is cashing
the winning run.
There were two of Boston's three
runs. Both the luckiest that a
team ever scored.
More “Luok”—or Punk Work.
Now let me show you how they
also were covered with horseshoes
when they tallied their first run It

Gardner had flied to Snodgrass,
Wagner tjaised a dlnkj fly bn<k of

Snodgrass, but Murray and Pletch

then Cady popped to Fletcher. This
should have made the third out.
Henriksen, with two balls and two

been a sure foul.

One Ghastly Miscue Sends Giants Tumbling Down to Bitter Defeat
SNODGRASS TOSSES OFF WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP
By Billy Smith.
Boston, mass., Oct. 17.—1
don't want to be one of those
"1 told you so" fallows, but
when you pick a world’s cham
pionship winner and it goes eight
games, I believe you have that
right to put in a little boast.
A world's championship contest
passed into history, and the most
thrilling game of this most sensa
tional series ended in the Giants’
decisive defeat when Fred Snod
grass. opening Boston’s tenth in
ning with a ghastly error, started
the Giants' defense-crumbling and
tore a dearly won victory from
Mathewson's confident grasp.
Defeat faced tin Red Sox, but
Snodgrass came to Boston's aid.
ami, while Merkle's famous mis
take may ultimately be forgotten,
the loss of a world's champion
ship and tin undeserved humilia
tion of Mathewson xvill always be
charged to the discredit of the de
moralized center fielder.
If ever a pitcher deserved to
win, Mathewson did yesterday, but
Snodgrass wouldn't let him.
Big Six' pitched as fine a game
as ever he did in his long career,
tightening in the pinches and al
ways proving by a wonderful ef
fectiveness that he was still Mc-
Graw's Old Master."
I'hougli Boston acquired a cham
pionship as the result of this de
ciding game, the Boston fans and
Boston players will take small con
solation in the victory, and every
one pays a deserved tribute to the
prowess of “Big Six."
Giants Sew It Twice.
f Twice the Giants seemed to have
the game sewed up. scoring in the
third through Devore's pass and the
two-bagger by the ever-dangerous
Murray. New York held Boston
safely until the seventh, preserving
that one run lead till a lucky single
by Stahl, made possible by Snod
grass' slowness, a pass to Wagner
and a two-bagger by a pinch hit
ter, let the Sox tie the score and
forced Mathewson to begin all over
again. Then, when Wood, who had
relieved Bedient, weakened in the
tenth, with Murray and Merkle
driving across the run that seemed
to portend positive defeat. It was
Snodgrass who fell down once
more in the pinch and shattered
the hopes of Mathewson. McGraw
and all the New York clan.
The Red Sox went to the bat in
the tenth with the score 2 to 1 in
favor of the Giants and little ex
pectation of averting disaster En
gle. sent In to bat for Wood, drove
an easy fly out to Snodgrass The
ball dropped into the flelder's bands
amidst a howl of disgust, but a roar
of delight quickly followed as it fell
to the ground, and Engle, who had
never stopped running, kept on to
second. This gate a different as
pect to the situation. Hooper, twice
failing to bunt safely, lifted a long
fly to Snodgrass. He made a nice
catch on this occasion. But Mat
ty. now unquestionably nervous,
lost control when Yerkes came up
and walked him. This put two men
on the bases and only one out.

HENRIKSEN IS HERO
OF DECIDING BATTLE
Bv Bill Carrigan,
Boston, mass.. Oct. 17. —I
consider Olaf Henricksen
the hero of the final battle
in the world's series. It was his
two-base drive in the seventh in
ning tliat brought in the tieing run
and put us in the game at a time
when we were finding the great
Mathewson a hard nut to crack.
Next. I give credit to Speaker,
whose line drive to right in the
tenth scored Engle with the second
tieing run and put Yerkes on third.
Speakt” took second on the throw
in. and this placed us in the proper
position to win if we were ever to
do so. There was only one out.
Hooper having retired after a hard
drive to Snodg ass. Engle, batting
for Wood, started the inning by
getting two bases when Snodgrass
muffed his fly. It was up to Duffy
Lewis Matty would not give him
a good one. and be walked, filling
the bases. That put It up to Gfl"d
ner. and Larry was equal to Hie
occasion, as I knew he would be.
His long fly to Devote enabled
Yerkes to score the winning run
and the sreatest world's se ies in
histo-y end®d then and there, with
Red Sox on top
Henriksen Turned Tide.
Henriksen's performance was
the thing that turned the tide. We
had been having difficulty in con
necting with the wonderful pitch
ing of Mathewson. Bedient was
pitching great ball. too. but that
one run to the credit of the Giants
looked bigger and bigger as the
game wore on and we could not get
a man across the plate.
The situation in tile seventh was
this: When Stahl reached second
he signalled for Joe Wood to warm
up. This meant a pinch hitter was
going to bat for Bedient. It was
great judgment on Stahl's part, and
lie made his move at exactly the
right time. Wood began warming
up as Cady stepped to the plate.
Ke was unfortunate and was only
able to put up a pop fly for Fletch
er. This made two out with Stahl
still on second and Wagner on first.
Stahl yelled for Henriksen to
bat for Bedient. The little fellow
was evidently not expecting his
good luck, for it was several sec
onds before he took his place at rhe
p'a t e.
P'nch Hitter Delivered.
Majhewson got him in th® head
qui< ;•> so two strikes, but Hen-
nearer the first bag. Meyers should
have kept away, but he chased
down the line till Merkle, already
preparing to take it. backed away
through fear of a collision. The
sphere fell to the ground, and with
it the Giants' chances.
Speaker Finally Delivers.
Taking advantage of the unex
pected life, Speaker drove a long
single to left center and Engle tal
lied the tying run, while Speaker
and Yerkes both moved up on the
throw to the plate. Lewis drew a
pass, filling the bases, and Gard
ner, who had been hitting all the
afternoon to center field. lifted a
fly to .Tosh Devore. With the put
out went the Giants’ lK»pes, for
Yerkes easily came home on the
sacrifice as “Matty." with quivering
lips, walked in from the rubber and
joined the other members of a de
feated team.
Bedient and Wood had pitched
well, but Mathewson superbly.
No discredit attaches to "Big-
Six," but the record of Snodgrass
will ever be shadowed by the mis
takes of the day.
I think the best team won. but
the Giants gav> me an awful scare
for my ssd bet.
rtk-en didn't lose his nerve for
an instant and the next moment he
hit the ball a terrible clout. The
leather hit third base, making th®
hit unmistakably fair, and sped on
to the left-flolu fence. Stahl walk
ed home with the tieing run and
ou" little pinch hitter made two
bases on the hit. This was the
turning point in the game, it put
new life in our fellows. They we e
full of ginger and as steady as a
clock from that time to the end.
Stahl made his moves with great
judgment throughout the series.
Ho pitched the right man at the
right time. Once or twice things
happened to upset his figures, but
take the series as a whole and vou
will find that he hardly made a
mistake in judgment.

Meyers Says He Made a Hero
Out of Wood on One Hit Ball
By John “Chief” Meyers.
Boston, mass.. Oct. 17.—We
met with defeat at the hands
of the Boston Red Sox in
the deciding game of the world's
championship series. We lost to a
good club and have every reason
to hold up our heads and look our
supporters squarely in the face.
We gave Boston the very’ best we
had, and. I think, the victors will
not begrudge us a share of the hon
ors.
Not until Yerkes patte ed over
the plate with the winning run
ahead of Josh Devore’s brilliant,
though futile, throw from a deep
field, did I despair of the champion
ship. Then, and not until then, 1
realized that tile Giants had made
a game fight against overwhelming
odds.
Some of the sting was taken
from the defeat in the realization
that we were never whipped till the
last play failed. 1 wouldn't have
minded it half so much if it had
been anybody but. Matty.
, I will egret to my dying day
that this grand fellow was forced
to suffer for our sins. He is the
greatest pitcher that the world has
ever known, or ever will know, I
am firmly convinced.
Hard Luck For Matty.
In each of the Big Six's three
starts against, the Red Sox he
pitched as fine bail as any ever de
livered anywhere. It was not his
fault that he failed to win a game.
No one could have realized this
more than he. Yet, when it was
all over, when our last fond hope
bad flickered out. tills big-hearted
man was smiling still. I'd have
given every’ nickel I possessed,
then, to be able to strike one more
good blow for his cause.
Boston's American league club is
champion of the world today. It
earned the title cleanly and idea riy.
I flatter myself and my team mates
enough to believe that Stahl's men
beat out a pretty fair aggregation
of ball players. 1 begrudge none of
my e-st while adversaries whatever
fame and fortune he mar have ac
quired at our expense, rbow to the
result, disappointing as it has
proved to me. I sincerely hope that
we may next year have the honor
of contesting these same laurels
with our conquerors.
Had Boston beaten us in that
fourth game at the Polo grounds I
would have freely acknowledged
yesterday's winner the greatest or
ganization in the profession. I
would not cast one insinuation tn
belittle the glory of the new world's
champions. Still their victory re
flects some credit to us.
We came fiom behind and fought
so stubbornly as to carry the con
test to eight games. We carried
top weight, because five of ths
eight tests were fought out before
Boston audiences.
Here's Another Alibi.
I have every admiration for Joe
Wood, who foiled us in our aspira
tions. He should feel grateful to
me. for I think I made a world s
idol yesterday. I literally knocked
him into fame, ’a game and a
world's championship with a drive
that should have brought victory
to crown our strftsrde. It was in
the tenth inning. We had one run
in. Merkle on second and two out,
when I caught a fast shoot fair on
tlie trade mark. No ball'hhd been
hit harder during the season. A
white streak shot toward Wood's
head and instinctively he threw out
his bare hand for protection. The
ball hit him fair on the palm,
dropped in front of him and gave
him the opportunity to retire me
and our side.
That ball put Wood out of com
mission. He was in great pain a<
be walked to the bench His hand
was injured so badly he could not
take ills turn at bat. Engle hit for
him and got two bases on an error.
But so- the injury Stahl would
never have dared lift bis only re
maining- good pitcher, for Wood Is
a pretty good hitter. Had that ball
got past the box nothing could have
prevented Merkle from scoring I
hit the very same kind of a ball to
Jack Pfeister at the Polo giounds
ope day. It broke his hand and
sent him to the minors. I sincerely
hope that no such ill foi tune befall®
Joe Wood. The major leagues have
100 much need for such brilliant
performers.
