MACKMEII TAKE FOURTH
GAME IN WORLD SERIES
(Concluded lrom Page One.) -three
games-Murphy, - Oldring, Collins
and Baker did the brunt of the stick
work. It was the lower half of the
batting order that sprang into the
breach when the leaders faltered to
day. Seven of the nine hits recorded
off the Giant t wirier s were made by
Mclnnis, .Strunk, Barry and Schang.
This quartette also scored 'all the
runs that were credited to -the; Made
men.; Of the upper half only Oldring
was' able to get his bat to the ball
safely. " -
It was not alone by batting the Ath
letics won, for both their fielding and
steady pitching were factors that help
ed to bring victory. The Indian twir
ler was at the top of his form in "the
seventh and eighth innings. He gave
hut one base on balls and hit one bat
ter. The Giants garnered but two hits
off his delivery until the seventh- and
their total was eight. The Red Man
fanned five. :
For the Giants Burns made two hits,
one a double, while Larry McLean sin
gled twice in twice at bat.
The game was played under the
mosj; favorable . weather conditions of
the series to date, the sun frequently
shining through rifts of clouds and
upon a field comparatively dry and
fast. '
Today's game was the last in which
the players participate in the receipts.
According to the unofficial " figures,
there will be distributed among the
players $135,163.89. The winners will
receive 60 per cent of this-total and

-Was -Not on to - the -. Batters
"Athletics Are a Smart
, Bunch." .
Star Giant Twkler.
If McGraw had started me I'd have
Itrimmed he Athletics. Nothing to it.
I faded this Baker, striking him out
on a fast one outside. I made a cou
pie of mistakes In the four innings
I worked and they made two runs off
me, but they i would not have scored
any more, in nine innings. I was right.
I had the : stuff and . I knew the bat
ters. That's where Demare e fell
down.
No manager can tell a pitcher how
to pitch. McGraw went oyer to Phila
delphia and watched, these Athletics
and he saw what they were weak and
strong on. He told us, but if a pitch
er does not learn these things for
himself he cannot follow out. I got
my lesson's in that first .came: I' shiv-
iered slightly today but I had abso
lute connaence.
"Warm up, 'Rube,' " said McGraw,
"im going to give you another
chance. - r , ,: .
Wtell, I beat it bit there and I was
tnrillea AhrouKh nd through that Mc
Graw had ; this confidence in me. You
didn't see me kicking the dirt off jny

though I felUnervous. I took my time
ana l naa these iellows going, except
ing, as-l said. fora couole of breaks.
of whieli I will" maRe' mention- shortly.
Not, to, be too'tweksure on this se
ries I want to say that I never saw
a- smarter bunch -Of hitters than the
Athletics. : They don't: take any
chances on a -pitcher slipping over a
fast ball, and that's where they made
us look bad. The .Indian poked over
a strike, on every one or our hitters,
tne hrst ball pitched. .We let it go
by. Then he had the batter in a
hole and he had something to work
on. -;. ........ .
"AI. Lacked Confidence.'
Demaree was not , exactly . nervous
but he did . not have the . same confi
dence I had, simply .. because I had
iacea tne Atnletics recently, it was
just the same as meeting a club, that
you had been pitching against all sea
son, and if bur team Was not so. crip
pled I,f eel,-certain that we could beat
the. -American League champions in
a long series. As it is, how, with Mey
ers, - Merkle, and Snodgrass- crippled
we sure have . a Jjattle ahead of us.
These fellows have five men hitting
5oO and. we. onl 3iaye one player in
that class, Meyers, and he's out of
the gatoe. Where we should twin is in

v; i ne jGiants are going tjo hit some
before this series Is over and I look
for some good blows tomorrow, when
Mattx will meer. either ShawkeV ; or
Brown. Bender . will probably! get" in
another game, and if he does we will
beat him. Wa will trim Plank, ton.. if
he starts. I'll ' say this, the Indian is
a wonder. He. didn't have - as; much
today as in the. first game, and he
won simblv with his brain. " Bv the
way, I see that Bender and Bush both
came from the same town- in Minne
sota, and this Houck was 'born only
about 20 miles away. These aborigi
nes: as 'they call them, are pretty eood
pitchers. . : . ' - 'v. -

ball when he should have worked him

ing. He has a good motion with men
on base,, but he is slow. .
he Athletics were Plucky to secure
their first run, a hit by, Mclnnis start
ing the trouble. It was -a short fly in
center and Shafer would have gotten
that. Snodgrass asked McGraw to let
him play before the game ; and said
that his leg was all right. Mac took
him at his word and sent him in. Well,
you saw that Snodgrass ccfuld not run
fast enough to get under, the lift and
that probably lost us the game. . An
other cripple had trouble,' when Mer
kle failed to grab that foul off Barry
who afterwards doubled, scoring Mc
lnnis. This Barry was anotner sur
prise to us He had not hit a lick up
to this afternoon. Just shows you
what a dangerous ball cluib the Ath
letics are. -Any man on tne . team is
liable to' break up a game. Some per
sons criticised . McGraw lor not play
ins Wiltse at first after his good show
ing the other day. but Mac figured that
Wiltse would not hit much, and .he
was right for Merkle got to his stride,
cracking out a clean homer.
Rube's Mistakes.
Now about my mistakes. . J . went in
with the score, four. to nothing against
us, and the boys began; to hit the next
inning. I have always t been pretty
lucky, in having' the Giants sting the
ball when I worked."' I was , not wor?
ried a, little, bit today, because I fel
sure some mows wouia pe strucK; jviy
first mistake . was in letting strunk
walk. I know. I knew this fellow's'
weakness going after ; bad bajls so
I tried - to feed him that brand. He
crossed me. He - refused " to : bite
at wide ones,. and before-1' wised up
he had won a pass. Now came the
critical point of the game so far as-1
was" concerned. Two men were out
and Strunk' on first' with Schang up.

to p!ass him as I see it now, but I felt
