FOOLISH CHANCE AT BEST Wasted Opportunities Count Heaviest Against New York, but Wood and Red Sox Win on Merits. By Harbert. John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants. stakcd hls all on a play in thej seventh inning of the game at the Polo | Grounds yesterday, ln whlch tho Red j Sox beat the Giants by a score of 3 to 1. It was n play that, in my opinion, ! was 11] advl.sed, even lf It had turned j out to the advantage nf Nt*fV Ynr!<. as the chance was far too desperate. wlth the American League champions piay? ing such a strong dc-fVnHlve game. Joe Wood was under a light nombardment. Herzog had singlcd and scored from flrst base on Flctchor's two bapger to rlght, and then McGraw played hls flrst cnrd. He Bacrlflced Tesreau, who had finally settled down by striking out four of the last slx men to face hlm, and sent Harry McCormlck to the bat as a pinch hltter. McCormlck dld hls part by shooting a little single through the box, on which Yerkes made a pretty stop back of second base. Fletcher pulled up at thlrd on the hlt, and then Mc*Graw cast the dle by send ing hlm on to the plate. Yerkes, wlth the ball ln his hand, made an uocurate throw to Cady and Fletcher was caught by a good elght tttt This put an ?__ to a rally whlch gave ?*very promise of hearing fruit. with thr he ul Of the batting order up. 1 wlll be interested to rfid McGraw's own explanation of thl.t play. but from all ?PPa**_**T_M*_t bt gtbi IM al'ine was responsible for the errm of Judgment which aant Fletrlu-r to nure and sudden death at th*. pl'ite f('r OU thlrd out. Apart from thia the Giants did not AUTOMOBILES. _ lack for opportunltles, but nelther Mey? ers nor Merkle waa able to dellver the telllng punch when the chances arose. In some respects the game was one of wasted opportunltles on both eldes, al? though the Giants suffered most from thelr own weakness ln thls respect. I do not mean to imply by all thls that the Giants frittered away the game, and lt ls my purpose to empha size that the Red Sox won a clean, well plnyed game on ita merlts. Joe Wood is a great pltcher. He uses not only hls wonderful arm, which seems tn ho made of steel, but his head also. nnd lt ls a wlse head. Wlth the speed he develops his control ls llttle short of marvellous. He did not glve a single base on balls, struck out elght men, and whlle he was found for nlne hits he managed to keep them scattered, save in one innlng, the luckless sev* enth. Wlth all credit to Wood, however, he hnd Captain Wagner to thank on three or four occaslons for savlng hlm from what mlght have developed into a seri? ous bomhardmcnt. Wagner robbed at least three New Tork players of what looked like sure hits, and hls one error under the clrcumstances was excusable. The whole Boston team, by the way, ls a strong defensive machine, and the steadlness in thls respect is being felt ln tbe series. Jake Stahl ls now ln a sllghtly stronger strategic posltlon than Mc 4"Jrav., as Wood can come back on Mondr.y. wlth two days' rest, whereas lf it raina ln Boston thls afternoon the Htar pltcher can be saved untll Tues day, by whlch tlme he wlU surely have regalned hls full strength. The Clants must win ln Boston to? day to keep ii- the runnlng. Ray Col? lins may be trled agaln, or Stahl may send Buck O'Brlen back. It would not Huri*ri***e mo lf Mc4^?-aw used Tesreau, who thrlves on work; but the loglcal choice would be Matty. holdlng Mar rin.inl and Tesreau in rcserve. It tMO-l a plty that Tesreau, pit<*h lng so well as he ha8 ln two games, should have bfen foreed to the bench on two occashins for the need of a pinch hitter. H-a has not /uffered in compariM'n wlth hia great rival, and AUTOMOBILES. with more experience ls likely to earn an equally hlgh place in baseball. The Giants ahowed more famlllarlty with Wood's curves yeaterday than in the flrst game. They not only made nlne hits, but they met many balla cleanly and hard, which called for the beat and strongest kind of support, and whlch was ao freely given. Wood, as good aa he haa been, ls not unbeat able, and the Gianta are quite likely to prove it before the series ls over, e CROSS IS REINSTATED Commission Finds Leach Com plied with the Requirements. Although there were rumors of a possl? ble dlssenslon at the meeting of the State Athletic Commlssion yesterday, every thing turned out peaceable, and the sus penslon of Leach Cross was commuted from six months to thlrty days, the time explrlng on Thursday, thus enabllng the East Slde dentlst to appear ln hls bout wlth Jack Brltton last nlght at the SL Nlcholas Athletic Club. Cross personally applled to the com? mlssion recently for relnstatement and the matter was taken under advlsement. It was understood that lf Cross obtalned the slgnatures of four promlnent sportlng wrlters expresslng themselves ln favor of hls relnstatement. the commlssion would conslder tho matter favorably. Cross ob? talned the slgnatures. but failed to report back to the commiBslon. In the mean time the McMahon brothers and Cross prepared for last nlght's bout under the lmpresslon that everything was all rlght. A special meeting yesterday was held for the purpose of brlnglng be? fore the commlssion Cross, his manager, Sam Wallach and the St. Nlcholas Ath? letic Club managers. In explalnlng the commlsslon's action Major Dlxon sald that as the managers of the club had gone to conslderable expense to prepare for the show and aa 4;ross had done what was requlred of hlm and had shown such anxlety to be ln good etandtng agaln there was no reason why the commission should stand in the way. e FRESHMEN SOORE A VICTORY.
