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 < ante in the seventh inning. After Gardner had flied to Snodgrass, Wagner tjaised a dlnkj fly bn<k of second. It was a dead easy out for Snodgrass, but Murray and Pletch er both went after it too. No one ye)led„ And as a result all three of them pulled up and the ball drop ped among them.

Otherwise it would have been a sure foul. Now, wasn't that the luck'.’ No; it wdte not luck; it was a horseshoe drive, a rabbit's foot jam. I always believe in saying that ihe best team won, but 1 can’t tell a deliberate lie. I know' that the Giants are much better than the American league champions, but no one can beat Dame Fortune. f I must say that the Boston boys, despite the aw ful at rain they were under, played clean baseball. They are a fine lot of fellows, and 1 will be pulling for them to win the American league pennant again next year. But if they’ do capture the bunting in their league, they will take the count at our hands in the world's series of 1913. when the Giants will surely bring home the greatest gonfalon in baseball the world's title.

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. Then canir Speaker.

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.

EJ* PARKSCHAMBERSHARDWICK i 7-39 Peachtree Street j COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia "J 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.
