If luck is with us we might play all
the remaining games in New York,
which would of course be greatly to
our advantage.
It is about time that we got some
of the breaks. Before I close I want
to say something about the great pinch
hitting that Harry McCormick has done
for us. A pinch hitter is always at a
disadvantage because he goes in cold
and he has Just one chance to deliver.
I have four times called upon McCor
mick and three times he has made good
for me. We are not beaten yet We
are going to fight every step of the
way, and I am sure of one thing, which
Is, that if we once catch the Red Sox
we will' beat them in the deciding game.

BT HUGH 6. FULLERTON.
BOSTON, Oct. 12. (Special.) If Co
lumbus had discovered America on a
dav like this he would have gone back
to Spain and refused to tell about It.
A heavy dripping fog, darker than
v the Giants" hopes, shrouded Boston and
soaked everything it touched. Every
one from New York and other outlying
points thought it would rain and they
went into hysterics over the idea of
a Sunday in Boston. These New in
landers, however, scoffed at the idea
of rain and went right on preparing
to see the game.
The town certainly was worked up
to the boiling point and in spite of the
wet and the gloom they poured out
bv thousands to cheer their champions.
They sat in the dripping fog out of
which their cheers jarred the wetness
and sang Mayor Fitzgerald's songs
until symphony hall shuddered and the
artistic soul of musical Boston was
aghast.
Crowd Arrive Early.
It was Columbus day and all the
descendants - of him and of his com
patriots paraded until not a banana
could be bought in Boston. Patriotic
ardor, however, failed to keep many of
tbe folks away from the pas timing,
for an hour before game time the
cheaper seats were packed, the stands
well tilled, and a mass of humanity
was banked on the hill back of center
, field banner.
The Giants were a little discouraged
with Tesreau's hand smashed, Mathew
son out of form and Marquard com
plaining of a sore arm. It was the
most wildly-partisan crowd of the
series, the great mass of men In the
center field bleachers roaring steadily
for an hour before play started. The
fog yielded slightly shortly before 2
o'clock, but not much, and as the root
ers club paraded the field, the crowd
leaning against the fence broke it
down while cheering as Speaker chased
a fly. The fence was temporarily re
paired and delayed things while the
ground rules were adjusted.
Giants Lose to Bedient.
Four hundred and ten years ago to
day Mr. Columbus discovered America
and today Mr. McGraw and some other
millions of more or less transient New
Yorkers discovered to their astonish
ment that the Boston Americans possess
more than one pitcher. On a dark and
dismal day, more dark and dismal from
a New York viewpoint than from a
Boston one, Stahl calculated that Bedi
ent's speed and courage would stop
the Giants and in the face of the des
perate resistance of the Giants he suc
ceeded, whipping New York to 2 to 1
.in a battle filled with magnificent plays
and practically ended the series.
Tonight the Giants, beaten after
Mathewson had pitched an extraordi
narily strong game and received magni
ficent support, departed hurriedly al
most willing to confess that the Bed
Sox are better at the American pastime.
The game was perhaps the fiercest of
the series, for the Giants knew their I
case was desperate. Their pitching
staff is all shot to pieces and Mathew
son -seemed the last hope. The great
veteran responded nobly to the call,
but he could not, even with all his skill
and cunning, hold the Sox. They hit!
him vlciously,practically through the
entire game, birt they could not drive
them between fields, and on top of that,
the resistance offered by the Giants ;
was more desperate and brilliant than
I ever have seen them put up.
Ilerxog Flays Brilliantly.
In the first Inning Herzog dived side
ways into the path of a drive that was
scorching the path on ita way to the
left field foul line with two runs de-'
pending upon it, speared the ball, ran
back to third, forced a runner and came ,
near making a double play. j
Again and again the Red Sox rushed
to the assault and whanged and whaled
and slammed the ball, only to have it
cut off by some great stop or because
the ball went straight into the hands
of some fielder. Ont of 28 of the Red
Sox who hit the ball, 23 of them hit it
right between the seams and sent it
screeching around the field, yet only
five got through safe.
It was a great game, and the largest
crowd that ever attended a game in
Boston was out to witness it in spite
of the discouraging weather conditions.
A heavy fog hung over Boston all day,
and besides that, rain threatened and
100,000 or more persons were marching
the streets and blocking traffic in
honor of Columbus day.
Yet with all those handicaps 34. $63
persons saw the struggle and went mad
during it, went mad over Hugo Bedient,
who, during all his life must bless the
Boston fog for making him one of the
heroes in this struggle for premier
honors.
Had it not been dark and foggy the
chances are Stahl would have sent Ray
Collins to the slab and had he done so
the chances are that tonight, instead
of celebrating, because the world's
championship is within its grasp, Bos
ton would be mourning the fact that
it was tied.
Bedient Steadied Himitelf.
Bedient pitched a wonderful game of
ball, although in the early innings he
was wild and at times seemed to be
wabbling. Each time he steadied and
with nerve and speed occasionally
slipped his curve ball across, he stopped
them, and he revealed to a remarkable
extent the weaknesses of the Giants.
He pushed his right, a la Richie, to
the weak members of the Giants and
when they needed anything he stopped
them. Only once was Bedient in trou
ble, and that was in the seventh, when
Merkle grabbed hold of one of his fast
ones and sent it crashing into the left
field seats for a double.
The credit for that run that saved a
shutout for the Giants Is entirely
Merkle's. He made the double and
after Her2og had popped out he took
third when Speaker caught Myers long
fly, beating the throw by fast work
so that when Bull MrCormick. the lead
ing hitter of the series now, slammed a
hard one at Gardner that bounded so
fast and crooked Gardner could not
handle it cleanly, he scored.
Crowd Not Deterred.
At no other time did New York have
any real license to score, and the 22-year-old
boy in his second year In Baseball
became one of the heroes of the game.
Regards to Jimmy Levender, who was
his side-partner last season.
It did not look as if a game could be
played, at least not to persons unac
customed to Boston weather, for the fog
was heavy and dump, but the arrange
ments never were changed, and the
crowd came as if on a sunshiny day. The
fog pall hung heavy over the field during
the first part of the game, and every
one belnsr anxious to Ket back to Kew
York, they were urging haste, with the
Red Sox striving to accommodate them.
They were on a rushing attack and a
slower defense, and they steadied Bedi
ent after he passed Devore to start it
and saved him by a brilliant double play.
They then attacked Mathewson, and
with decent luck and less brilliant de
fense would have cinched the game
right there.
Hooper opened with a hard single,
Yerkes refusing to sacrifice, plumped
iy a high fly, and Speaker hit one a
mile a minute to left, a hit often
worth a home run, but Devore dived,
grabbed it cleanly, and got it back so
fast that Hooper had to stop at second.
It was a magnificent bit of ontflelding,
and better than some of the much-press-agented
stunts already pulled off.
Herzog's Catch Brilliant.
Then Lewis slashed the ball almost
over third, and Herzog dived at the
ball. It was a triple or a double, and
meant two runs, but the ball struck in
Herzogrs hands, he staggered, Jumped
back to the. base, tagged it and threw
hard to first. He hurried the throw too
much and hit the dirt, Merkle blocking
It, and the throw did no damage, as
Gardner was fooled by Matty's dropping
curve and fader and struck out.
It was a beautiful struggle then be
tween the youth and ambition of the
Boston youngster and the nerve and
cunning of the veteran Mathewson. He
was being hit fiercely, but the Giants
responded to, the situation, as they
only do when their grand veteran is
working. They grabbed everything
that could be reached, but not always
could the fierce attack be repelled.
In the third Hooper sent a screech
ing triple down the left field foul line,
a hit much like the one off Lewis' bat
that Herzog had speared in the first
Inning. Again Herzog dived, hoping
that the providence that guides him in
the game would make the ball hit his
hands. This time luck failed him. The
ball ripped past, skinned the corner of
the left field stand, rolled around it
and Hooper landed on third. Yerkes
followed with a crashing triple to left
center, making Snodgrass chase around
the wall to get it, and he scored when
Speaker's hard bounder went straight
through Doyle and on to right.
Mathenwn Grows Better.
That was all, Matty grew better as
he went on and although the Red Sox
still tore into his pitching, the defense
of the Giants was impregnable and
Matty held them so that not a man
reached first after that third.
The sun broke through the fog after
those two runs were, counted and per
hans that affected things, for the
Giants tagged Bedient's speed a little
better toward the finish, but not much.
He mowed them down and his pitch
ing to the weak hitters on the team
was remarkable. He seemed to sound
their everv falling and even the real
batters, Doyletnd Meyers, were at his
mercy.
The game. In the opinion or most or
those who are pursuing the champions
up and down in the cattle and other
cars provided, settles the championship.
Many telegraphed for reservations on
homeward bound trains for Monday
night and they think that with an
even break the series will close then.
McGraw Is in a bad fix for pitchers
now, as Marquard's arm has gone awry
and Boston still has everything it had
left and Is In good shape.
Incidents In World's Series
BY HUGH 8. FUIXERTON.
BOSTON, Oct. 12. (Special.) The
New York team rushed away home
ward on a special train as soon as the
game was over, while the Red Sox
remained over at home tonight and
will ride down to New York tomorrow,
hoping to end it up.
The dopesters pick stani to start
Wood again Monday if conditions are
right and McGraw probably will be
compelled to use either Crandall or
Ames.
Total attendance 34,683. Total re
ceipts, J63.201. National Commission's
share, S6520.10. Each ciuo s snare,
12S.440.4:.
It was rumored tonight that Jimmy
McAleer will pitch Monday's game on
the theory that a straight ball will
stop six of nine of the Giants.
In the fifth inning a spectator on
top of the right field bleachers made
a running catch of a foul fly, narrowly
missing going over the edge of the
stand as he caught the ball, and the
crowd cheered him.
Snodgrass was booed and hissed
through the 'entire game by the
bleacher crowd because of an act com
mitted In practice. Some rowdy spec
tators were running and trying to grab
balls hit to the outfield and Snodgrass,
picking up a ball, whirled and threw
it at the spectators. The act angered
the crowd and they went after him.
The scoring conflicted today. The
National Commission's officials gave
an error on McCormlck's hit, while the
newspaper writers' officials gave a hit.
The bail was hit viciously, bounded
crooked and Gardner blocked it with
his body and could not recover in time
to throw anyone out.
The Giants hit 12 easy flies and only
hit six balls hard, while BoBton hit
23 hard, out of the 28 hit. (

Eddie Mensor Defines Success of Big
League Twirlersv "Bull" Per
rlne, Veteran Umpire, In
Critical State.
"Well, we certainly gave them a run
for their money," chirped a Giant fan
last night, surprisingly chipper con
sidering the loss of a sum aggregating
several pay-day checks. "Beaten, but
not disgraced," was the consensus of
New. York opinion.
Few Giant rooters in Portland were
sanguine enough to venture a predic
tion that the Gothamites still have a
chance for the 1912 world's champion
ship, but the wonderful game "Matty"
pitched against the youthful Bedient
evoked as much comment as the ap
parent certainty of the Red Sox win
ning the world's diamond crown.
"It's all over but the shouting," loud
ly predicted one Inflated Boston boomer
in front of a prominent cigar store last
night. "The Giants will try to stem
the tide with Marquard Monday and he
will be whipped by our Joe Wood.
Smoky' Joe will win three games from
the Giants, and then who will be the
hero of the series?"
.
Hugh Bedient, the twirling victor in
yesterday's game, is only 22 years old,
the same age as Wood, and has had two
years' of baseball experience. He start
ed with Fall River, was with Provi
dence last year, and assisted the Red
Sox to win the American League flag
this season.
The three-hit phenom of the world's
champs-to-be lives in Buffalo, is one
quarter inch over six feet tall and
weighs ISO pounds.
.
"Of course there are a few pitchers
up there with more stuff than the fel
lows down here, but the chief differ
ence in the pitching between the majors
and minors Is the control of the mound
men," says Eddie Mensor, the Portland
Pittsburger, who left last night for a
two weeks' visit with his folks In Oak
land. "They put the ball where they want
it when they want to, and that's what
makes them great pitchers and major
league stickers."
' Mensor does not believe that Donlin
and Hofman will play much ball next
season and looks for a clear field to
a regular Pirate position.
Yearly Pacific Coast Olympic games,

The Seals are likely to train at Boyes
Springs, north of San Francisco, next
Spring, if Bill Reidy has his way. Bill

was much enamored of the climate, hot
springs and general conditions.
"Bull" Perrine, the veteran umpire
who has been a familiar figure on the
Pacific Coast for many years, may
never be seen on a baseball field again.
He is suffering from an aggravated at
tack of locomotor ataxia at his home in
Oakland, and the physicians hav al
most given up hope of his recovery.

LMllon and Tozer Stricken While
Game Is in Progress.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 12. (Spe
cial.) Sudden and mysterious illness,
coming at a critical point in the pen
nant fight, virtually wrecked Los An
geles' hopes for a champion team to
day. Frank Dillon, manager; William
Toxer, pitcher, and Alexander Finley,
trainer, were stricken during the sets
ond Vernon-Los Angeles game and re
moved to their homes.
Typhoid fever and ptomaine poison
ing are both believed to be the cause of
the illness. Henry Berry, president of
the Los Angeles club, is Investigating
reports that the tripple blow did not
come from natural sourceB. Nearly
every member of the team complained
of sickness today, and several now are
under the care of physicians.
The epidemic of typhoid, which bids
fair to put the AngelB out of the run
ning broke out Just after the team's
last trip to Sacramento. Nearly all the
players believe the water they drank
there is responsible for the trouble.
"Heinle" Heltmuller, star batter and
outfielder of the club, died here Tues
day from typhoid fever. His illness
was brief. Hughey Smith, catcher, who
is ill at Riverside, was reported worse
today. His mother and other relatives
were telegraphed tonight to rush to his
bedside.
Claire Patterson, Oakland outfielder,
is at the Good Samaritan Hospital, in'
Portland, having been stricken with
typhoid fever while the Oaks were
playing the Beavers in the northern

BALL ORDINARY OTHERWISE
Boston Held to Have Shown No In
herent Superiority Over RivaL
Short Left Field Fence Ele
i i
ment In Result.
BY JOHN J. M'GRAW.
BOSTON. Oct. 12. (Special.) The
story of today's game may be told in
a few words. We were very bad at
the bat and missed several chances to
advance runners because we could not
hit when hits meant runs.
In writing my story of the battle this
afternoon, the name of Bedient should
be printed in big black -type. I must
give this young pitcher credit for
twirling a great game. He had practi
cally no curve ball, but he did not
need one. The dark day lent Itself to
his style of pitching and his high
fast ball was one that my men could
do nothing with.
Fine as was the pitching of Bedient
It was no better than that of Matty.
Neither Wood nor any of the other
youngsters have anything on Mathew
son in this series. For the last five
innings today the veteran did not allow
a runner to reach first base. It has
not been his fault that we have lost
two games behind him. With any sort
of batting and fielding support he
would have won them both: Any one
who has seen the games will admit
that we have had the worst of the
breaks.
McGraw Is Unconvinced.
Boston has shown me nothing to
convince me that it is a better club
than mine, aside from the hitting of
Hooper and Yerkes today, and it must
be admitted that those two men came
through in good style for their club.
The Red Sox did nothing but play
ordinary ball.
Boston has won one game and tied
another on its home grounds because of
that short left field fence. On Wed
nesday the wind took Lewis' fly into
the left field seats and today Hooper's
hit rolled into a little opening in the
fence. Had it not been for this ac
cident Devore would have been able
to hold it to a two-base hit. This
would have made a lot of difference to
us as Yerkes would then have been
apt to sacrifice. That would only
have advanced Hooper to third and
Boston would ' only have scored one
run at best. Murray and Herzog failed
to come through with their usual hits
and Snodgrass was useless to us at
the bat
Doyle Yet In Rut.
Doyle again had opportunities to ad
vance a runner when nobody was out
but Larry is still in a rut As I have
said before anyone who knows him
knows he is batting way below his
usual form and also his world's series
form of last year. He is one of the
gamest and nerviest players I know
and still hope that Monday will find
him back in his stride.
This is the first game in which I
have seen reasons to complain of the
umpiring. In the four previous con
tests the work of .the arbitrators was
to my mind without a flaw. Today,
however, I believe that Mr. O'Lough
lin missed several strikes and called a
couple of bad ones. In my opinion he
missed two on Speaker in one inning
and in the eighth the second strike he
called on Devore was bad. In this par
ticular Instance it made a big differ
ence between the teams.
Giants Are Determined.
There is no sense in denying that
the Red Sox have the edge on us. We
must beat them at the Polo Grounds on
Monday. At the same time I wish to
state emphatically that we are not
through. We are going after them and
there Is one circumstance that may act
strongly in our favor. The rules gov
erning the world's series say that the
place for the seventh game must be se
lected before the sixth game is played.
This means that before ; Monday's
game we will toss to see whether Tues
day's battle shall be fought in Boston
or New York. Under the rules the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 12. (Special.)
Harry Suter, the sturdy southpaw
struck out 16 of the finest and best
Seals today in the second game of the
holiday double header, thereby es
tablishing the record of the season.
"Skeeter" Fanning was the holder of
the honor with 14 whlfls to his credit,
but Suter did him two better. The
southpaw's performance recalls to mind
his 17 strike outs In eight Innings in '
Sacramento' last season, when he was
a member of the Seals.
Just by way of reporting the news
it might be well here to say that the
Seals were downed in both encoun
ters, the score reading 7 to 2 In the
first game and 8 to 3 In the second.
The first game was a rather odd
affair. Th Seals were out-hitting the
Beavers 3 to 1, but did not score until
the ninth while the visitors were busily
engaged in making Inroads into the
"R" column. They scored four runs
In the first five Innings on a total of
three hits.
In the morning game, Rodgers and H.
Baker each drove the ball over the
fence. Baker later making a two bag
ger. The feature of the day, however, was
the great form shown by Suter. He
struck out every Seal one or more times
with the exception of Bill Yohe. He
got WufTli three times, Mundorff, four;
Mclntyre, twice; Zimmerman, twice;
CorhfsM, once; McArdle, once; Auer,
once, and Bonner, twice. The scores:
