pom a Giants’ Great Showing Largely Due to Pitchers—For Three Days Now Not a New York National Boxman Has Given a Base on Balls or Hit a Man. | : By Bozeman Bulger. ‘PF as old-timers deoiare, control is 8 per cent. of all, it te not dificult to understand why the Giants are running away with the National League Pennant. For three daye now not @ Giant pitcher has issued a base on balls OF hit a batter, Matty picked up the perfect a where Marquard left It off and turned in one of his most masterful efforts, notwithstanding that he wae tapped harder than usual, Only once during tne entire game did a Cin- clanati batter wet ae far as two balls and thrce striker, More than half of them died on the first ball pitched, This, by the way, enabled the Old Master to duplicate his record of a few weeks ago, in which he used but seventy balls to complete a game, For a while yesterday It wan beileved he would lower the world’s record of 67, but in the eighth inning he had to pitch #ix times to jarsans and that prevented a new mark, He finally wound up with an even fenty. GOOD MARKSMANSHIP 18 TELLING. All of the New York twirlers with the exception of Tesreau have acquired Perfect control and are clipping the corners with that same accuracy that made Matty famous. McGraw says that Al Demaree has the best contfol of any Joungster he has acen break in the league, and that Fromme ie just about as} wood, The wonderful achiovement, however, is that of Marquard, who bas! fuch contro! that he went through the game on Monday without a bobbie, This 4s remarkable for a southpaw, Just why nobody mema to know, but it is true that left handets are lamentably weak In control. All Marquard needs to cut) # clean streak through the league ts to have control of his fast one. Once he gett the Jump working right nobody can touch him successfully, Rube hasn't meh of a curve, but he doesn't need It. His fast one will do RUBE'S FEET COLD ON THE SLOW ONE. Though big league batters do not know it, Marquar’ has one of the boat Slew. balls in the world, No amount of persuasion, However, can get him to wae It in a championship game. Just as he gets ready to send the floater over his norve seems to go back on him, and de Marquis switches back to his eimsler, tatking no chances. Wilbert Robby has berzed the Rube to sandwich | in that slow one every once in a while, but he can't see It. As long a does Not need It particularly thoy have decided to let him @o along any way he wants to, £0 long ax he wins. The time will come, though, as Matty will testify, Whon he wil need it. Fans went away from the Polo Grounds shaking their heads and wondering how it was the Giants made fourteen hits and but four tuna, while the Reds made eleven hite and only two runs. The answer is simple. The pitchers were Christy Mathewson and Mordecai Brown. Here were two old masters, one a little nearer the edge than the other, but doth making up in brains what they lack in muscle and endurance. It was, indeed, a fitting pitcher's battle to ceicbrate the atsing of the pennant, SMASHING THE CUP OF JOY. Josh Devore had the cup of happiness to his lips for a moment, only to get @ Utter taste in his mouth and toss it aside in disgust. For years it has ‘deen Josi's ambition to get a long hit off Matty, and isis chance came in the eixth inning. After a little badinage between them Josh took a long swing and slammed the ball into the right field bleachers for a home run, one of the longest of the year, that tied the score. His joy was short lived, for in the last half of that same inning he muffed a fly from Merkle's bat that finally resulted in two runs and a fresh lead for the Giants. Josh's heart was broken for the rest of tho afternoon, It Is bad enough to make a bad error any time, but against his old team matea—wow! WORLD'S CHAMPS WITHOUT A LEADER. ‘They have finally forced Jake Stahl out as manager of the champion Red Sox and Jimmy McAleer wil! probably run the club, acting both President and mannger. The release of Stahl Is the climax of a feud that has been raging between him and McAleer since early in the season. It was rumored a few weeks ago that MoAleer thougnt that Stahl was trying to undermine him | and get the presidency of the club. Without trying to take any credit from | Btehl, it is generally known that McAleer did most of the directing of the| Red Sox during the last world's eeries. BURNS REACHES THE SEMI-FINALS FOR THE MEDAL, George Burns came near pulling a “bone” in the last half of the eighth | Inning that would have made him eligible for the All-American stakes, but he got “on™ just In tim laugh, George had made three hit: the last man up, Waa at the bat, and remarked, “Watch me get my fourth one." Matty filed out and retired th but Burns was ¢o intent on getting that fourth hit that he went to the and stood there waiting to bat after the other players ‘were changing s. Bill Klem finally tapped him on the shoulder and brought him out of it. “Anyway,” he said, after the game, “I'll get it to-morrow.’ .. Red Murray again distinguished himectf, and but for Snodgrass would have been declared the hero of the day. In addition to his two Rite out of three times up, Jack made a marvellous one-handed catch of Johnny Kling's drive that surely would have gone for a homer. Now let's eee what got Snodgrass into the Hall of Fame. This much talked wan up there four times and in that period nicked Miner a double and a homer, Personally he brought tn two of by the Giants, For a team that has never won @ pennant the Cincinnat! Reds hold the world's record for participating in flag ralsings, On four occasions they have asalated the Giants in declaring themselves pennant winners, and one of these was the world’s series flag for 1906. OH,.WELL, WE COULD STAND ANOTHER ONE. Col. Charles Holiday Ebbets, somewhat indignant, writes to inform us that the dedication of his park yesterday counts as the real, honest-to-goodnene thing. “Of course we may have a fall affair of some kind,” he says, “but that 4p neither here nor there.” All of which makes us warn you that Nbbets called i edication” and not an “Opening.” He still hag an ace in the hole, Chapple Adds Another Win To His Already Long String _——s ahead of Ohne and Veditz, The fans cheered him to the echo for his fine New York Rider Comes With-| pertormance. patie, Gostello of New Rochelle and x Ray tz of Newport divided hon- in Second of Record in the | orm’in the three-mile oretersicnet race “4 ; French point system.
