Maybe Giants Were Unlucky-
It Looked Like Punk Playing
By Rube 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, but 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 all pitchers, and the very beet
fellow tn 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
over was in the annals of the na
tional pastime. lie dropped that
long fly’ of Engle's, and it paved the
way to a Boston victory; but I
don’t have any hard feeling toward
him. No. I don't. In fact, my
heart bleeds for him. It was not a
bone play, simply an error, and
there is no perfect man. Eate was
against him, and you can’t down
fate
Punk Playing Here.
It was an error that beat us. Not
an error that shows In the official
records, but an error that counted
a thousand times as much-—an er
ror of judgment. It was on a foul
pop that Speaker raised between
the plate and first base in the
tenth inning. Merkle thought Mey
era had it. and Meyers thought Mer
kle had tt. And it fell safe. It
wasn’t a bone play’, but again It
was simply a oase where fate ruled
and fate anchored on the Red Sox
bench all afternoon.
That waa the play that cost us
the game, for on the next ball
Speaker, who by all rights of per
centage should have been out, drove
a line single to right. This scored
Fktgle, and left Boston runners 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 "Luck”—or Punk Work.
Now let me show you how they
also were covered witli horseshoes
when they tallied their first run. It
came tn the seventh Inning. After
Gardner had flied to Snodgrass.
M agner raised a dinky fly back of
second. It was a dead easy out for
Snodgrass, but Murray and Fletch
er both went after it too. No one
yelled And as a result all three
of them pulled up and the ball drop
ped among them. That should have

been an out. Wagner walked, and
then Cady popped to Fletcher. This
should have made the third out. *
Henriksen, with two bails and two
strikes on him. caught a fast ball
and slammed it to left for two
bases. The ball hit the top of the
bag and caromed oft inside for a
fair hit. Otherwise it would have
been a sure foul.
Notv, wasn't that the luck? No;
it was not luck; it was a horseshoe

I always believe in saying that
the best team won. but 1 can't tell
a deliberate lie.
I know that the Giants ate much
better than the American league

I must say that the Boston boys,
despite the awful strain they’ were
under, played clean baseball. They
are a tine lot of fellows, and I 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

SNODGRASS TOSSES 01F WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP
By Billy Smith.
Boston, mass., Oct. 17.—i
don’t want to be one of those
I told you so" fellows, but
when you pick a world's cham
pionship winner ami it g Oe s eight
games. I believe you have that
rigilt 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 emis
take may ultimately he forgotten,
the loss of a world's champion
ship and tlie undeserved humilia
tion of Mathewson will 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 tine a game
as ever lie did in itis long career
tightening in the pinches and al
ways proving by a wonderful ef
fectiveness that he was still Mc-
Graw's "old Master."
Though 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.
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 tlie 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-bugger by a pinch hit
ter, let the Sox tie the score and
forced Mathewson to begin all ox er
again. Then, when Wood, who had
relieved Bedlent. 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 hands
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 gave 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 buses and only one out.
Then came Speaker. Here Mey-

HENRIKSEN IS HERO
OF DECIDING BATTLE
Bv Bill Carrigan.
Boston, mass., oct. 17.—i
consider Olaf Henricksen
the hero of thy final battle
in the world’s series. It was his
two-base drive in the seventh in
ning that 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.
Speakv took second on the thrown
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 Snodgrass. Engle, totting
for Wood, stat ted 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 lie walked, filling
the bases. That put It up to Gard
ner, and Larry was equal to the
occasion, as I know lie would be.
His long fly to Devore enabled
Yerke« to score the winning run
and the greatest worid's series in
histo-y ended then and there, with
Red Sox on top.
Henriksen Turned Tide.
Henriksen's performance was
the thing that turned t4je tide. We
had been having difficulty in con
necting with the wonderful pitch
ing of Mathewson. Bedlent was
pitching great ball, too, but that
one run to the ere lit of the Giants
looked bigger and bigger as the
game wore on and w e could not get
a man across the plate.
The situation in the 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
he made his move at exactly the
rigilt time. Wood began warming
up as Cady stepped to the plate.
He 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
tot for Bedient. The little fellow
was evidently not expecting his
good Imk for it was several sec
onds before h/ took his place at the
plate.
Pinch Hitter Delivered.
Mathewson gm him In th« nearj
• quit kly for two strikes, but Hen-
nearer the first bag. Meyers shoild
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 w’ith
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 plaie. Lewis drew a
pas?, tilling the bases, and Gard
ner, who had been* hitting all the
afternoon io center field, lifted a
fly to Josh Devore. With the put
out went the Giants' topes, 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 gave me an awful scare
fop my SSO bet.
riksen didn’t lose his nerve for
an instant and tlie next moment he
hit the ball a terrible clout. The
leather hit third base, making the
hit unmistakably fair, and sped on
to the left-field fence. Stahl walk
ed home with the tieing run and
our 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 lime to the end.
Stahl made his moves with great
judgment throughout the -cries.
He 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 se’ies. 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, 1 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 the Giants had made
a game light against overwhelming
odds.
Some of the sting was taken
from the defeat in the realization
that we were never whipped till the
last pla.v failed. I wouldn't have
minded it half so much if it had
bein anybody but Matty.
1 will regret 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 tine ball 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
had flickered out. this big-hearted
man was smiling still. I'd have
given 'eveiy 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 clearly.
1 flatter myself and my team mates
enough to believe that Stahl’s men
beat out a pretty fair aggregation
of ball players. I begrudge none of
my e st while adversaries w hatever
fame and fortune he may have ac
quired at our expense. I bow to tlje
result, disappointing as it has
proved to me. 1 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 to
belittle the glory of the new world's
champions. Still their victory re
flects some credit to us.
We came from behind and fought
so stubbornly as to carry the con
test to eight games. We carried
top weight, because five of the
eight tests were fought out before
Boston audiences.
Here's Another Alibi.
1 have every admiration for Joe
Wood, who foiled us in our aspl’a
tions. He should feel grateful to
me. for 1 think I made a world's
idol yesterday. J literally knocked
him into fame, a game and a
world’s championship with a drive
that should have brought victory
to crown our struggle. It was in
the tenth inning. We had one run
in. Merkle on second and two out.
when 1 caught a fast shoot fair on
the trade mark. No ball had 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
bail 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 as
he walked to the bench. His hand
was injured so badly he could not
take his turn ar bat. Engle hit for
him and got two bases on an error.
But for the injury Stahl would
never have dared lift his 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 gtounds
one day. It broke his hand and
sent him to the minors. I sincerely
hope that no such ill fortune befalls
Joe Wood. The major leagues have
too much need for such brilliant
performers.
