which'.;' crown -. ' the

The line we mean Is

i For the : last .for
lorn anl hopeless
stand today McOraw
sent In Mathewson to
grapple with Plank.
But oven Matty, the
miracle man, had no
' maglo and no-wlaard-
' rV Which mftffc AAn.
wiiu me power rsz tne roe on one side
j, and tho weakness of his pals upon, the
, - other. And while the mighty Mathew
son was, struggling between, two such
fires Jh vain, piank, one of tlwnRrand
est of pitching veterans; worked his last
ana greatest game. .
The southpaw, for' the first tWtn
his league, career, whipped Mathewson
end the count was I to 1. He held the
m young and virile Giants in the hollow of
his 4 0-y ear-old band. He choked them
down, with'. two hits land but. man
faced him at the plate. 1 But for his own
. muff, of an easy . pop fly from Murray's
bat in the fifth session, -he would have
shut the Giants out with one base hit
.. end Only . the regulation ' J7 men would
have faced, him from the firing sone.
. Hej has .'announced his retirement, and
,. It this , statement carries, the remark
- able southpaw can sit back through
;. the years beyond and nurse the greatest
dream -come true that might befall any
contendeR-of ,thel tribe-tbafr the .final
ball game. that he ever worked marked
by all odds the greatest, he , had ever
ltehed. . ; Stv v,.-,;..",.. ',..,' .. ,, ,

;Thy that have Vouth-will be "served.
: but ln the closing summing-up, kindly
remember ; this eight yeare ago the
.Wants' and Athletics met and of the
; five games won, four were gathered In
.. by tMathewson and Bender, with Plank
:; in the' thick of . the fight Sinoe that
oat, youngsters have come and gone
. stars have risen ayid faded under the
orive or tne game. But or this present
aeries,-? out , of five games ; won, four
were gathered Jn by Mathewson. Bender
and Pank. This fadeless trio had seen
the service -of big league war ; before
.'most of those engaged had taken two
' 'Jumps from the cradle. And" yet When
the ultimate test arrived,; it was Hot
' youth that was to be served, but three
who might be called old In a game where'
time beckons early with a gesture not
to be denied. :, ' .,..
Mathewson fought a losing fight
c against Plank from the etart of the bat
tle" which ' gave, Mack his third world
championship, and McOraw ' his third
V straight defeat For the beating which
the Giants handed : their -rivals eight
' years ago, the present Macklan machine
has more than furnished vengeance. But
not through Mathewson'a failure. The
first run scored from him came through
a high peg , to the plate, by Burns, that
.-should hare retired, the side. The neat
, two cam ln the thlrd.when Doyle fum
.'Msd and Merkle, -with a runner trapped
between third, and home, lost his bear
ings and blow, the 'works with a fatal
delay. Then, Mathewson, remembering
his Olantt supports roml 1 2, took the
: game from the hands of hls pals and
worked It atone. I. Of the next IS Mack
-. men Who 'faced ,hlm,- but two reached
first bnse.. 'and any one who 'has seen
this driving, mauling lineup hit the ball,
can appreciate' what'.thls means.
-. The " pitching, of these two veterans,
bothturnlrig Into their twelfth Season
under big league fire,' was the most won-
f derful' and", subtle 'art .of puxillng thh
batting eye-that we have-ever known o?

TURNBULL'S PRODIGIES :::
V MAKE BADCONNECTIONS
Plank was " working for a' grand ball
club, and Mathewson "for a club out
classed In all that makes baseball a
science and an art- a battle and a game.
The beginning of the end. for Mathew.
son came with the first round "under
way. Murphy singled, Oldrlng force.l
him,' and Collins, singled, driving Old
ring! on to third. ' Baker then lined to
Burne in short left, who, with plenty of
time, pegged high toc McLean ,at.; the
plate, and Oldrlng raced homo. ' -t'
The finish came In the third. Murphy
again - led , the attack, .and . Oldrlng
thumped to Doyle with a double play in
sight '. But Doyle' fumbled, ' and bot"i
were safe. ' Collins ,w .then sacrificed,
birnglng ; Baker, up. , It was up : to
Mathewson to -walk LBaker or fight 'U
Out For any other pitcher .there' could
have been but one answer. '-.But,' while
Baker Is Baker, Mathewson' is Mathew
son, and he elected to fight It out
Baker then thumped one straight' to
Merkle'v hands. Fred grabbed the bell,
and there was - Murphy standing still,
caught In a trap half way between third
and-the plate. Merkle started for him,,
saw Baiter dash bV, attempted to turn
and tag the slugger, and before he could
swirl again; ' hie peg to -; th ; plate ' ar
rived too , late. ,i and Murphy was over
with another run.- The wide should have
been .retired runless by iOwi but only
one was out Oldrlng scoring a moment
later on an outfield njr rrom Mcinnes. f.
It: was an ironical turn of fate that
the Giants' sole run should come from
an easy pop fly to the box--emblematlc
of their weak attack. . Not a Giant had
reached "first off Plank until Bbafer,
