Opening Game of Series Be- tween Giants and Red Sox Excellent Illustration of Un- certainty of Baseball. Copyright. 1912, by The Prem Putiishing Co, “ (The New York World), F there is any game more uncertain 4 I than baseball, I'd Ike to see it little seance up at the Polo Grounds was one palpitating Procession of periods of uncertainty from start to Anish. One might point ont a dozen Insignificant instances in which @ difference of half a dozen inches in a player's position might have changed the result and allowed the Giants to win, or perhaps allowed the Sox to roll up a much bigger score. First inning; Yerkes on third, two out, out a liner that looks wood until It shoots straight into Snod- Grass’s hands. Third inning; Tesreau that fell between Lewis and Gardner {een of whom thought the other was wong after 1), Snodgrass struck out. Murray missed two, ang then on his last chance slashed | @ hit that brought in both Devore and Doyle. Sev- enth Inning; Stahl and Cady out, and Wagner and Wood on bases, Hooper irikea, and on his last chance two-base hit that scored er and put Wood on third, Yerkes (supposed Lo be a weak batter) got two Strikes, and then ned out a hit that ‘brought in Wood and Hooper and gave Boston the lead that won. A » in the last half of the ninth the Giants sudenly found Wood's delivery, Murray Was caught out. Merkle and Hersox Gvickly singled, Meyers, the big Indian, stepped up to the plate with a grim ) Wok and smashed & corking double § straight down inside the fret base line, / scoring Merkle. Fletcher struck out. Crandall stepped up, Crandall ts known M8 & dangerous batter—a “game-break- "Crandall fouled twtag and then swung and missed the bali by an ine: If he had hit that ball the way he's dt any one of @ thousand athers the score would have been at icast tied But there it isthe game is ail “ifs. Nothing j# certain except thar the un expected Will happen. { pcx \ T'S something of a sport that wilt [one the Mayor of boston down here with a bunch of root ans that will bring the Mayor of New York up to the Polo Grounds to toss out the ‘gall. I don't remember that the Mayor ‘Of this town ever started the first race at any race track, or rang the bell for the first round of any boxing match, or tossed out the football for any foottull game, Some class to baseball, isn't there? IN Wisconsin they ‘are getting up a great popular peiltion to the state Legislature requesting the passing of @ boxing law patterned after the Fraw- ley law in New York. Tom Andrews, ) sporting editor of the Leader, is one of those at the head of the movement, an he says that he expects to get at te: %,000 signatures, Wisconsin hasn't th. population of New York, and a petition with 25,00 signatures will have quite a bit of weight with the legisiators, In all probability the law will be passed, nd one more State will be added to the number now favoring the manly sport. They have many boxing bouts in Wise consin now, held under conditons sume- what like those in New York before the Passing of the Frawley law. But the effect of that law has been a0 écellent + ih promoting good, fair, clean sport that | the Wisconsin people want to have thelr boxing showe run under similar restrictions, LE has fight Mike's chance rests upon his clo’ | Ress in avoiding ¢ soporitic that MeGoorty js Oul Bo easily. js @ far more clever boxer than Dei of course.

Gibbons has shown great skill and "lass" in his bouts with inferior men, ‘This will be the “irs real tryout bad, Will he make good?

It was omy by a rally that the Westerner received the verdict, as it was In his work in the last three rounds that he cored his victory. He staggered Jones tn the elghth, but In tho next two rounds Willie came back and tried his hardes to put over a decisive blow, but White always managed to just keep out of range of It. White owes his victory to ctever ot fighting. Jones did the better in-fight ing.
