SCOn SAVES TEAM LEAD
Death Valley Expert Relieves Mate in
the Eighth Final Count
I 64.
Chicago, Oct 9. Bewildered and
crushed by a fierce attack, Eyers'
Cuba retreated In dereat before the
white hosed army In the inaugural bat
tle of the fall championship series at
the West Side park yesterday. .Riot
nd action reigned fiom end to end
of the hectic fray, with the war clubs
dealing out death blows in rapid suc
cession, but the Sox's game. was more
consistent and therein is the story.
The score was 6 to 4.
Callahan's men lived up to their rep
utation' of being able to perform bril
liantly when needed. The attack and
defense worked as well as at any time
during the regular championship sea
son. Hits were bunched with remark
able accuracy. The fielding was .of
. the best except In a . few spots, and
the South Slders toiled industriously
until the last, protecting a lead that
had bfen gained and held from the
first inning.
PITCHERS WORK POORLY., .
In line with advance dope, Larry
Cheney and "Rebel" Russell were
sent to the firing line by the respec
tive managers. Neither gave a per
formance worthy of mention. The
Cub "spltball" star was pounded un
mercifully. In the eight innings which
he served the Sox unloaded eleven
hits and seven of them were terrific
drives into the overflow crowd that
fringed the outfield. Lavender fin
ished the game for his luckless mate.
Russell was far from his best. Lack
of work In the last week robbed him
of his effectiveness aqd only in spots
did he look the part of the great south
paw he Is. Up to the eighth inning,
w hen one man had been put out, a run
soored and two left on base, the big
hurler had been bit 11 times and two
of the blows were homers against the
right field signboard and accounted for
three of the four Cub, runs. .
The Sox Jumped away with a pair
of runs In the first. They added an
other In the fourth, during - which
round the Cubs broke la with their
first count. Another pair to the-sixth
offset a like number gained by the
Trojans In the same round and the
last went over the .seventh, . with the
Cub3 again cutting the advantage to.
two runs with a marker in the eighth.
SCOTT IS REAL HERO.
Jim Scott, hailed as. the master of
the curve ball, was the' big individual
hero of the day. W'nen Russell tot
ered in the eighth and. the Sox root
ers, scattered among the some' 16,000
partisans present, began to give up
hope Scott appeared and checked the
Cubs as though a stone wall had been
placed In their path. He hooked balls
past. the Trojan batters in- wicked
fashion and they could do nothing.
In that eighth, which came mighty
near being the turning point of, the
battle, with two runners on bases
and one out, Scott fanned Williams,
the man who displaced Cheney, and
nailed Leach on a grounder to Bergerl
A hit would have tied the score at
six all, but the blow never came. -
In the ninth another flurry rocked
the stands and caused Cub rooters to
yelp with the hope that runs with
despair. Evers and Schulte stepped
up and the ball never left the infield.
Zim. the terror of National league
hurlers, who In four previous trips had
failed to connect, lifted a short fly to
center. It looked as though it was
over, but Bodie couldn't reach the ball
for the catch and It slipped to the
ground for a single.
There w-as a wild, wlerd scream with
Saier coming up. He drove the ball
high and far to. left field. Chappell
was in pursuit, disappeared into the
crowd and came up with the pellet.
It ws a sensational catch, capping
a game that from the spectators'
standpoint was a nerve-wrecker from
start to finish. The score: -

Philadelphia. Pa., Oct 9. Christy
Mathewson, hero of a thousand battles
on the ball field, never landed a sweet
er winner than he passed to his breast
yesterday, when the New York Giants
left the field after beating the Phila
delphia Athletics, 3 to 0, thereby even
ing up the post-series contest with one
victory for each club.
For nine Innings It was a battle
royal between two of the classiest vet
erans known to the game.. Both were
"primed" and were in rare good form.
The great Mathewson finished strong,
while Plank was perceptibly slowing
up and finally shot his bolt in the
tenth, when Mathewson smashed out
a safe hit that sent the winning run
over the plate.
XIXTH PROVES A THRILLER.
The most interesting part of the
game was when tne yuaners went to he hit the ball fair and square lor a

up and threw sharply to first, out of i however, until the balloon went up in

Then Mathewson got down to his
finest knitting and he worked Lapp
with a low curve over the inside cor
ner of the plate and the ball was hit
to Wiltse, who rushed in, snapped
the ball off the ground on a short pick
up, and threw to McLean at the plate.
He had his man well blocked off, and
Strunk was out Plank was the next
man up. The Quakers held a con
sultation in the dugout, for it was the
place to take a chance and several of
the men were anxious .to see Dan
Murphy bat for Plank. Connie Mack
was afraid to take a chance on the
new pitcher at this stage of tf e game,
so after several minutes' delay. Plank
went to the plate and perhaps the
most delighted person on the ground
was Napoleon McGraw.
PLAXK PROVES A "MARK."
Plank was just the mark they were
looking for at this stage of the enter
tainment. Mathewson sized up his
man and then sent In one low and
close. Plank fired away and hit the
ball on a bound to Wiltse, who threw
Barry out at the plate. When Eddie
Murphy hit a weak bounder to Mathew
son the New York players threw their
caps in the air and acted like a lot
of wild kids just out of school.
McGraw would have taken a chance
here by sending In a good hitter for
a weak man and the chances are that
the Mackmen lost by not making this
move.
The awful disappointment of not
landing a stubbornly fought game at
the last ditch must have affected the
veteran Plank, for In the tenth inning
Larry McLean opened with a drive
to right Wiltse sacrificed and Mathew.
son, who had been hitting the ball hard
all day, smashed out a hit between
left and center that easily scored
Eddie Grant, who -was running for
McLean. Two more runs were added
to the Giants' score after this, for
Collins hit a runner with the ball and
Fletcher sent two home with a single
that went bounding over Baker's head
Into left field. The Quakers were
easy picking for Mathewson in the
tenth inning, going out in order.

Larry not only caught in superb style,
but made two hits, leading off with

with a lame leg. After playing three
innings he was forced to retire. Pitch

surprise of every one this third-rate

at first
The chances are, had the regular
men been in the game, the Athletics
would have scored their second victory
yesterday, but it is doubtful if this
kind of luck will continue throughout
the series. Mathewson pitched an In
telligent game, with plenty of stuff,
several remarkable fielding stunts
saving him from defeat in nine Innings.

able plays, one after a long run with

Mathewson took oceans of time In

badly beaten by these same Athletics
the last time he faced them, two years
go. so Matty was welj groomed for
the Usk of a lifetime. Perhaps the
sweetest satisfaction of sil was when
can be loked for, as the New York
men are playing a desperate game,

BIG SERIES NOTES tt
WEDNESDAY GAME.
The rival aggregations journeyed
over to Gotham on early evening trainB
to be in shape for the third game of
the series.
Before the battle Mathewson.' Tes
reau and Demaree warmed up on the
Giant side, while only Plank and
Brown loosened their pitching arms
for the thletic8. ' i ' ' ?
The reserved 6eat holders delayed
their arrival until so late that there
was" a .fierce crush at. the gate 3 just
before the game started. Some of the
patrons 'did not find their seats until
the second "inning.-
The playing field was damp from the
rain of the night before, but not heavy
enough to lnteref ere with' the play. In
the sixth inning a combination of fog
and smoke made things look dark, but
it blew away before the finish.
Yesterday's victory puts Manager
Mack on the defensive in the matter
of pitchers. The series is tied up and
he has to gamble with a young hurler
on the slab, while Manager McGraw
has Tesreau to pitch against the Mack
men. The attendance was cut down to a
little over 20,000 by the new rule of the
commission which forbids overflow
crowds at world's series games. Only
as many people as could be accommo
date inside the stands were permitted
to purchase tickets.
There is no doubt about McGraw
using Tesreau for today's game, but
which one of his youngsters Connie
Mack will pick for the important bat
tle cannot be guessed and he will not
tell. Brown may get the assignment
or It may be Shawkey, the youngster
who so recently graduated from the
minors.
The weather was threatening all
day, but no rain fell. There is every
promise that the elements will butt
in eventually to Interrupt tie series,
as a storm has been gathering for a
long time. The Giant adherents hope
there will be no cessation of play, as
they figure the Giants have the bet
ter of it on pitchers now.

manager wanted the veteran to keep

to obey the command Jawn got wratby.
"Kid" was coaching at first base In
the eighth inning. The first batter
was up and Gleason was jabbering
with greater speed than ever shown
by Evers. What he said or to whom
he was talking was another story.
Evers heard it at aay rate and stopped
the game to rush over to Sheridan and
demand that Gleason be suppressed.
Sheridan Just laughed, so Evers raced
to O'Day. Hank couldn't figure out
a way to accommodate Evers and
told John so, whereupon the game pro
