Maybe Giants Were Unlucky-
It Looked Like Punk Playing
By Riibe Marquard.
Boston, mass., oct i*. i
don’t like to lake glory away
from a victor, but the Red
Sox are rhe 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 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 feci very sorry for Snod
grass *
1 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 fly of Engle's, and it paved the
way to a Boston victory; but 1
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. Fate was
against him. and you can't down
fate.
Punk Playing Here.
ft 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 bona play, but again it
was simply a case where fate ruled.
Mid fate anchored on tbe Red Sox
bench all afternoon.
That waa the play that coat 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
EJngte. and left Boston runners on
third and second. Matty tried hart!
to fan Gardner, but Larry was not
to be denied, and slammed a long
sacrifice fly to Devore in deep right.
Yerkes had no trouble is cashing
tbe winning run.
There were two of Boston's three
rune. Both the luckiest that a
team ever scored.
More “Luck”—or Punk Work.
Now let me show you how they
also were covered with horseshoes
when they taflled their first run It
came in the seventh Inning. After
Gardner had filed to Snodgrass,
Wagner raised a dinky fly back of
second It was a dead easy out for
Snodgrass, hut Murray and l'iet< It
er both went aftei it 100. No one
yelled And as a result all three
of them pulled up and the ball drop

then Cady popped to Fletcher. This
should have made the third out.
Henriksen, with two balls 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 off inside for a
fair hit. Otherwise it would have
been a sure foul.
Now, 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 host team won, but I can't tell
a deliberate He.
I know that the Giants are much
better than the American league
champions, but no one can beat

I must say that the Boston boys,
despite the awful strain they were
under, played clean baseball. 'They
are a fine lot of fellows, and 1 will
be pulling for them to win the

will take the count at our hands in

One Ghastly Miscue Sends Giants Tumbling Down to Bitter Defeat
SNODGRASS TOSSES OFF 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 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
Mathewsons confident grasp.
Defeat faced the Red Sox. but
Snodgrass came to Boston's aid.
and. while Merkle's famous mis
take may ultimately be forgotten,
the loss of a world's champion
ship and the undeserved humilia
tion of Muth -ivson 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 fine a game
as ever he did in his long yareer,
tightening in the pinches and al
ways proving by a wonderful ef
fectiveness that he was still Me-
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 the seventh, preserving
that one run lead till a lucky single
bv Stahl, made possible by Snod
grass’ slowness, a pass to Wagner
and a two-bagger by a pinch hit
ler, let the Sox tie the score and
forced Mathewson to begin nil over
again. Then, when Wood, who bad
relieved Bedlent. weakened in the
tenth, with Murray and Meikle
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 3 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 fielder's hands
amidst a howl of disgust, but a roar
of delight quickly followed as it fell
• to the ground, and Engie, 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 bases and only one out.
Then came Speaker. Here Mey-

HENRIKSEN IS HERO
OF DECIDING BATTLE
Bv Bill (‘arriiran.
Boston, mass. Oct, 17.—i
consider Olaf Henrfcksen
the hero of thi final battle
in the world's series It was his
two-base drive in the seventh in
ning that brought in lhe 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 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 Snodgrass. Engle, baiting
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 he walked, filling
the bases. That put it up to Gard
ner. and Larry was equal to the
occasion, as 1 knew be would he.
His long fly to Devore enabled
Yerkes to score the winning run
and th greatest world's series in
hlsto-y ended 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. Bcdient was
pitching great ball. too. but that
one run to the ere 'it of the Giants
looked biggel and bigger as the
glime wore on and we 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 Bedlent. It was
gieat Judgment on Stahl's part, and
he made his move at exactly the*
right 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 tn
bat for Bedient. The little fellow
was evidently not expecting hi«
good luck, for it was several sec
onds before he took hts place at th®
plate.
P'nch Hitter Delivered.
Mathewson got him in th* head
quickly for two strikes, hut Hen*
——- i
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 bad been hitting all the
afternoon to center field, lifted a
fly to Josh Devore. With the put
out went the Giants' hopes, 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.
Bcdient 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
for my SSO bet.
rik.-en didti't lose his nerve for
an instant and the next moment he
hit the bail a terrible clout. The
leather hit third base, making the
bit unmistakably fair, and sped on
to the left-tie' i feme. Stahl walk
ed [tome with the lic-ing run and
our little pinch hitter made two
bases on the hit. This was the
turning point m the game. It put
new life in our fello es. They we >
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.
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 lie hardly made a
mistake in judgment.

Meyers Says He Made a Hero
Out of Wood on One Hit Bali
By John “Chief” Meyers.
Boston, mass., Oct. it.— 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. 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 the 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. I wouldn’t have
minded it half so much if it had
been anybody but Matty.
1 will 'egret to my dying day
tliat this grand fellow was forced
to suffer for our sins. He is the
gteatest pitcher that the world has
evei 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 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 every nickel I possessed,
then, to be able to strike om more
good blow for hi- cause.
Boston’s American league club is
champion of the world today. It
earned the title cleanly and clearly.
I 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 stwhile adversaries whatever
fame and foitune he may have ac
quired at out expense. I bow to the
result, disappointing as it lias
proved to me. I sincerely hope that
11
we may next year have the tonor
of contesting these same hurels
with our conquerors.
Had Boston beaten us In that
fourth game at the Polo groutds I
would have freely acknowldged
yesterday’s winner the greates or
ganization in the professiot I
would not cast one insinuatia to
belittle the glory of the new weld's
champions. Still their victory re
flects some credit to us.
We came from behind and fotjht
SO stubbornly as to carry the on
test to eight games. We car'ed
top weight, because five of he
eight tests were fought out befre
Boston audiences.
Here's Another Alibi.
I have every admiration for Jo
Wood, who foiled us in our aspln
tions. He should feel grateful n
me. for I think I made a works
idol yesterday. I literally knockd
him into fame, a game and i
world’s championship with a dri*
that should have brought victor
to crown our struggle. It was i
the tenth inning. We had one ru
in. Merkle on second and two out
w hen I caught a fast shoot fair or
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
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 ae
he walked to the bench. His hand
was injured so badly he could not
take liis turn at bat. Engle hit for
him and got two bases on an error
But to 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 Pfeistet at the Polo grounds
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 hove
too much need for such brilliant
performers.
