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.

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 drive, a rabbit's foot jam. 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 ehampions, but no one can beat Dame Fortune. 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 world's title.

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- CARDS COME THROUGH AND WIN CITY TITLE ST. tall IS. Oct. 18.

Speaker lifted a weak pop-up between first base and catcher's position, but it was 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.

Ur PARKSyCHAMBERS HARDWICK 37-39 Peachtree Street J COMPANY E~ Atlanta. Georgia | 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.
