Touch Home Plate in
Tenth Inning.
NO PROTEST CAN BE MADE
Because Athletics Failed to Make
Appeal Game Stands as Xew

ful of Crowd Anger.
SEW TORK. Oct. it Ths run cred
ited to Captain Larry Doyle In- the 10th
Inning- of today's same, which gave the
New York Giants their second victory
over the Philadelphia Athletics In the
-world's series, was not legally scored,
according to a statement mads after
the came by Umpire William i. Klem,
of the National League, who was offi
ciating behind the plats as the umpire-In-chief.
Doyle did not touch the plate, accord
ing to Klem. and If the Athletic club
had made an appeal, the umpire said
he would have declared Doyle out and
the Inning would have ended In a tie
score. As It was getting dark, the
game could not have gone much fur
ther. Umpire Klem's declaration that Doyle
did not touch the plate was corrobor
ated by Francis E. Rlchter. of Phila
delphia, and J. d. Taylor Spink, of Ht.
Louie, the official scorers appointed by
the National Baseball Commission.
Xanager McOraw. of the New Torks,
admitted after the game, according; to
Klein, that Doyle missed the piste. .
Protest Caa Be Made.
Despite the fact that the umplre-ln-chlef
and the official scorers say Doyle
did not touch the plate, no protests
ran bo lodged with the commission as
to the result of the game. It Is said,
because the Phllsdelphla club mads
no appeal on the play. Umpire Klem's
statement waa made to the Associated
Press Just after the game ended. A
question waa raised In the scorer's
board, whether the ball caught by
Right Fielder Murphy off Merkle's bat
In ths 10th Inning was caught on foul
ground.
Klem said ths bail was caught by
Murphy In fair territory, that he made
hla decision that way. and that he was
corroborated by Umpire Brennan. who
was on ths right Held foul line, near
Murphy.
"Doyle never touched the plate,
Xlem volunteered, "but as the Athletic
players made no appeal, the game goes
as a victory for New York."

CI.VNTS "CHEERED TO VICTORY
New York Plucks Game Front Defeat
In Ninth and Tenth.
NEW YORK. Oct. IS. The Giants
found their bats today, and with but
one game between themselvea and de
feat for ths world's championship won
by ths score of 4 to 1 in the 10th I fi
ning of a sensational uphill struggls
against the Phllsdelphla Athletics and
put themselves again In the running.
Ths world's series stands tonight:
Phllsdelphla Americans won three,
lest two; New York Nationals, won
two. lost three.
While the Olants earned their tri
umph largely by hard and clean hit
ting. It was declared tonight by Um
pire Klem. the National official, who
worked behind the plate during the
contest, that bad a timely point been
"taken by the Athletics on the last play
of the game. when, with two out. Larry
Doyle slid home with the final tally,
the runner would have been declared
out and ths Inning- ended with the
score still a tie. 3 to 3.
DoyU Falls to Tesrk Piste.
Doyle, according- to Klem. did not
touch the plate In sliding In. snd It
needed only a protest by the visitors to
nullify the run he was supposed to
ban made.
Ths technical claim waa not made,
however, and the game stands as a
Client victory. Nobody In ths stands
knew anything of this, and the edge
of ths crowd's enthusiasm was not
dulled by the Injection of any techni
calities. Seldom Indeed. If ever, lias
there been such a scene of excitement
at the historic Polo Grounds as during
ths sensational and winning rally of
the Giants In ths presence of nearly
16.000 persona
roosBko Is Beassrset.
Discouraged by ths loss of three
straight games, with their premier
twirling star. Mathewson. twice beaten,
their famous left-hander. Mraquard.
for the second time taken out of the
box after a homo-run rap from a Phll
adelphlan's bat and the score I to 1
against them, the New Yorkers swung
their bats against the curves of the
"Iron man." Jack Coombs. In the ninth
to such effect that two tallies came
over, tielng the score:
Then. In their next time up. they
started in on Eddie Plank, who had
relieved ths Kennebunk star, and
pushed another run across ths plats
for a well-earned victory.
New York's hopes had been at low
bb as the game stsrted. with Mar
quard and Coomba aa the opposing
twlrlers. and sank still further as.
with two men on bases. Rube Oldrlng
drove the ball Into the left field bleach
ers for a home run In the third for
three Philadelphia tallies. Coombs
was his old effective self, the Giants
havlnz scored but one sorry run In
the "lucky" seventh.
Asses Relieves Marejaard.
Ames had relieved Marquard In the
fourth and was pitching scoreless ball,
when. In the seventh, Crandall was sent
In to bat for him.
Ths turning point may bs reckoned
from Crandall'a Injection Into the
game. The husky twlrler, having
been passed to first In the seventh In
ning, but without effect on the score,
pitched the Athletics Into ciphers In
the eitrhth, ninth snd tenth and came
to time with a cracking- double, with
two men out. In New York's ninth. His
bit scored Fletcher, who had doubled,
and Devore. another of the day's many
heroes, lined a ssfs drive to left for a
single that brought Crandall home and
tied toe score.
The teens of enthusiasm that accom
panied this feat of the Giants was en
livening. The shouting and .cheering
from :he stands merged Into one con
tinuous deaftenlng roar. A few mo
ments later came the final yell of tri
umph on the part of the home en
thusiasts who had seen defeat turned
Into victory, as Larry Doyls slammed
a double to left, advanced to third
when Plank's efforts to catch him on
Snodgrsss' attempted sacrifice failed
and cams horns when Merkle boomed a
fly high to Murphy for an effective sac
rifice. Three Iaalsurs Loose.
The Ufa of ths rams centered in the
third, ninth and tenth Innings and ths
pitchers were not so much the focus
of interest as in ths preceding- contests.
After Oldrlng's homo run -In the third
had showed Manager McOraw that his
left-hander waa being- gauged effect
ively by the Athletics, he was obliged
to fall back on his second string men.
Both Ames and Crandall mors than
came up to expectations.
For the Phlladelphlans, Coombs
seemed to have as much speed and
wlldness of curves In the letter part of
the game as ever, but the Giants were
finding him snd there seemed to be no
stopping them once they had started.
The New Yorkers hit the ball harder
than In any prevloua game of the serlea
Doyle starred at the bat with two sin
gles and two doubles In five times up.
Murray failed to show any batting
form, striking- out three times out of
five time at bat. He has failed to get
a hit during- the series so far.
Baker Falls to G-t Hit.
For the Athletics. Coombs and Old-ring-
each had two hlta Baker, the sen
sational sticker of the previous games,
failed to acquire a safey from any of
the three Giant twlrlers. Both teams
showed more life on the bases, each side
being credited with two steals, while
both Lapp and Meyers nipped other at
tempts on the paths.
Startling- features of fielding play
were not numerous. One of the best
waa a shoestring catch by Devore off
Lord In the first inning. Both sides
supported their pitchers In fine stylo,
only one mlsplay being; charged up
against Philadelphia and two against
New York.
The crowd that saw the game again
completely filled the bleachers ana
lower grandstand, but there were many
vacant seats In the upper stands. Bet
ter weather could hardly have been
asked for. The sun shone brightly and
the air wss not unseasonably cold.
Oldrtaa Geta Homer.
Blanks were scored by both teams
for the first two Innings. In the third,
with one out, Lapp, for the Athletics,
connected for a single to center.
Coombs rapped to Herxog-, who made a
good throw to second, which Doylo ln-
gioriousiy dropped, and both runners
were safe. Doyle hung onto Lord's high
fir. but Oldrlng got one of Marquard s
swift ones Just where he wanted It. and
clouted the ball to the left field bleach-
era for a home run. scoring Lapp and
Coombs ahead of him.
New fork's first run cams In the
seventh. Merkle opened It by walking
on four nans. The Giant rooters shout
ed for a rally and the clamor grew as
Barry tossed Hersog's tap to Collins
snd the latter dropped the throw.
Fletcher forced Herxog. Davis to Barry.
Merkle taking third, whence he scored
a moment later on Meyers' sacrifice
fly to Murphy. Crandall. sent to bat
for Ames, waa passed, but New Tork's
rally was held to a single run. as Di
vts fielded Devore's rap to Coomba at
first.
Glaata Rally la Ninth.
The Athletics did not score after the
third, but New York rallied to better
purpose In ths ninth than before and
tied things up. With one out. Fletch
er's high ons to left dropped safe nesr
the foul line, and by good running he
reached second. Meyers went out.
Barry to Darts, and Crandall came up
for New York's last chance. He made
good with a hit almost to the fence In
tight center for a double. scoring
Fletcher. Devore. keeping up the good
work, scored Crandall with a line to
center. In the face of apparent defeat
the score was tied and an Inning- was
forced.
Victory came In ths 10th. Philadel
phia threatened for a moment, when
Coombs, after one man waa out. beat
out an Infield hit. Strunk went In to
run for him. but was anchored on first
as Lord filed toa Devore and Oldrlng
was fielded out at first by Fletcher.
In the Giants' half Doyls opened with
a rattling double. Plank ran In on
Snodgrass' bunt and threw to Baker.
Doyle waa on the baa with ths ball,
however, and" there were two on with
nobody out. Murray made It one out
with a fly to Murphy. It was a short
fly. however, and Doyle held third.
Merkle hit to better purpose. He
boomed one high and far to Murphy.
Doyle cams home on the sacrifice and
the game waa New York's.

required who can give his entire at
tention to the work. For that reason,
Judge Graham was obliged to tender
his resignation. The directors have
sgreed upon Baum as a suitable man
for the position, although It la not
likely that the election or our annual
meeting will take place prior to the
gathering of the minor league officials
In San Antonio, Tex., on November
It. Mr. Baum has a wide knowledge
of the game, and I am sure that he
will make a good executive."
The coming Informal gathering of
representatives of Eastern League,
American and Coast Leagues In Chi
cago with the National Commission Is
apt to bs an Important one. Ewlng
says that while In New York he hap
pened to meet officials of the National
and American Leagues and that they
admitted the conditions at present ex
lstlng were irksome to the minor bod
ies and might be changed.
Chaages May Cosae.
It Is quite within the possibilities
that some suggestions would tend to
do away with so much of the commer
cial In baseball and will relate to the
drafting and sale of players that will
be discussed at that time and even
agreed upon. Of course, any such sug
gestions necessarily would have to be
taken up by the minor associations
and ratified by the National Commis
sion before becoming effective.
The rumors of possible changes In
the msnsgement of the Ban Francisco
club were met with a denial by Ew
lng. It has been gossiped about that
the club might change managers and
secure a man who would be a playing
manager.
"I know nothing of any such talk
ssve what I heard here upon my ar
rival." said Ewlng. "So far as the
present Is concerned, I expect that we
will have Danny Long with us and
also Kid Mohler. I do not blame them
for the showing of the club, which wss
In part attributable to sickness and
also a tendency on the part of some
of the players not to take the best
care of themselves."
GIANTS HANG ON BY GRIT
(Cowtlnnsd From First Pas.)
club got a "break, ' we got It on
that one.
Poor Boat Real Wlnaer.
Larry Doyle had opened the round
with a double and Snodgrass tried to
sacrifice. The result was far from a
perfect bunt as ballplayers Judge them.
It wss very much too near the pitch
er's box and Plsnk was on tho ball.
He thought thst he had time to get It
to third base and stop Doyle, the most
dangerous runner, ss he carried with
him the run which meant victory for
in. Doyle slid In under the ball and
was safe, a fraction ahead of the
throw. Snodgrass was also safe at
first.
Now to see how this worked out.
If Snodgrass' .sacrifice bunt had been
rerfect. that la, along the foul line, as
he Intended It to be. the ball would
have been thrown to first base and
he would have been out. putting Doyle
on third.
Murray, the next man up, lifted a
short fly to Murphy and Doyle did not
have a chance to score on the catch.
Tlfat would have made two out.
Ball Rolls J sat Right.
Merkle drove a long fly to Murphy
on which Doyle scored the winning
run, but had Snodgrass been thrown
out at first base, Merkle's fly would
have made the third out and we would
not have scored. So If Snodgrass' buut
had been slightly better, the play
would not have been made to third
base and we would not have won the
game In the tenth Inning, any way,
and had the bunt been a shade nearer
the pitcher's box so that Plank could
have executed the play he attempted,
Doyle would have been put out and the
scors would still have been a tla at
the end of the tenth. The bunt was
Just right for us, and that Is what
I mean br getting the "breaks.
And while discussing that last in
nlng. It might bo well to say that
Murphy made a bad play . when he
caught Merkle's fly. I thought at first
the hit was foul, but Fred told me
afterwards It was Just fair when the
ball was caught.
Early Lack Favors Athletics.
It was curving foul, and Murphy
should have known he bad no chance
to ston Doyle from scoring on th
catch, as tho hit was very deep and
took him all out of position to tnrow.
His play waa to take a chance on the
ball's curving foul, wjtlch would have
Ann no more damage than to add an
other strike to tho batter's record. In
a crisis like that, a man has to think
oulcklv.
As In most of the other contests, the
Athletics had all the luck up to the
seventh Inning.
We had our breaks against tho wall
than and were fighting for life.
In the first, part of the contest the
team clayed what might be called

- Coomba Raa Everything.
Coombs had " more on the ball to
day than ho did on Tuesday and was
better in every way. He had more than
any pitcher who has worked against us
in the series. He had a fast curve and
a slow-breaking curve and for Ave In
nlngs our batters, with a couple of ox
captions. Just stood up there and let
thm pass by them, for they seemed
unable to see the ball Then when it
was beginning to get dark snd his
speed should have been effective, our
hitters fell on him and won the game,
In his defense, I will say that he
strained a tendon while at bat In the
seventh Inning, which handicapped his
pitching some. If a man has a sore toe
or a tight 8b lit or a hang nail It both
ers him as a pitcher, but Coombs bad
Just as much on the ball when we be
sran to hit him.
Of the Giants' pitchers Ames and
Crandall deserve the greatest praise.
Both went into the box with nothing
expected of them. Crandall had never
been n a world's series - before, but
when he went up to the bat in the
ninth inning he was as cool as if he
had been playing Brooklyn.
Slgo Tipping- Stopped.
I can't say too much about the nerve
he displayed. In the box he was the
same way. He may not have the big
gest curve In the world, but he uses
his head and has developed a slow
curve that had the heavy hitters of the
Athletics breaking their backs.
Twice today the Athletics were get.
ting our signs and twics we switched.
That is an element of baseball - that
we have never been forced to contend
with before. Lapp caught the signal
only In the third Inning, but the Chief
got him handing it to the batter and
walked out to Marquard and changed
It-
Looking to the future. I should say
that we are as well fixed for pitchers
as they are. 11 not a utue Detier.
Bender can't come back in one day. and
Coombs was used up today, while Plank
went one hard Inning which will hurt
him for tomorrow when sJl the warm
ings ud through the game are taken
into consideration. He Is not a strong
man, like most leit-nsnaers, ana it win
be hard for him to work tomorrow.
Unless "Connie" Mack uses Plank he
will have to try a new one, Danfortn
or Krause. ucuraw can use tuner
Marauard. Ames, Crandall or Wlltse.
We still have a good chance lor tne
series, especially if the team can play
the ball It showed In the last two in
nings today.

There is no gainsaying the fact that
Head Coach Warner's charges have a
rouarh and rocky roadway stretched be
fore them with all the odds coming
from preliminary tryouts and schedule
favoring Washington University and
the Washington Aggies.
Washington State College has had
two trvouts with other colleges al
ready, defeating Gonzaga College, of
Spokane. 68-0 and Idaho University
17-0. Washington University has also
been under fire, smothering the Fort
Worden soldiers something more than
100 to 0 and Puget Sound University
3S-0. Oregon, on the other hand, has
not had a real stiff workout.
Manager Zednlck. of Washington,
seems to have been the Napoleon of the
Northwest in the matter of choice
scheduling, for Doble's team does not
meet either of the two most dangerous
contenders until November 18, the Ore
gon date In Portland. Should Wash
ington State defeat Oregon Friday,
Doble will have until November 30 to
instill fundamentals into his new re
cruits and If the reverse, until Novem
ber 18.
Washington's next game will be
played Saturday of this week at Spo
kane against the University of Idaho,
and the Oregon coaches and players
will be among the most Interested spec.
tators alopg the sidelines. This game,
however, will not be a real test for
Washington and what Doble will In
struct Quarterback Coyle not to spring
will fill a Congressional record. Last
year Oregon beat Idaho 29 to 0. Wash
lngton dealt out a similar sting, so ac
cording to form the Seattle team should
repeat this season about SS to 0.
But. take it from us, no one will get
much of a line on Doble s machine nn
til the stllt-legged mentor brings his
crew to Portland a fortnight hence.
