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 ped among them.

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 Dame Fortune. I must say that the Boston boys, despite the awful strain they were under, played clean baseball.

But if they do,tapture 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.—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.

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.

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.
