"The club has been playing far below its form." said Manager Mc- Graw. "To win three straight or lose he series looks like a hard contest but I believe, as do the men of the team, that we can' do it." Manager Stahl of the Red Sox nat urally was in a cheerful mood. "Ev erything apparently is in our favor and of course we expect to win,' he said. , . . "The men believe they have the for us today would leave us still two more chances to clinch the champion ship." If the Giants were to take a brace today there was general - agreement that they were due to start with the fielding end of the game-.

Even with the poor showing which the Giants made with the stick ; on Saturday in Boston, it was an error that let in what proved to-be the win ning run. .- L Boston's fielding, on the other hand, has been mich cleaner and more effi cient. Wagner's work in cutting off hits has been particularly brilliant. The miscues by the Boston fielders have, cosily. "Rube1 Marquard was McGraw's indicated choice for the box -today, although the manager made his usual reservation in favor of another" box- man should the Boston selection, in his opinion, warrant a switch. The big left hander has delivered the only game won by the Giants and he has had a good rest. Marquard at the top of his form, such as he showed in Boston last Thursday, would be a selection that Boston, in McGraw's opinion, would find it hard to match even with Joe Wood going at his best: The Lineup Given. But it was not at all certain during the forenoon that Wood would pitch. Jt looked as if either Ray Collins or Buck O'Brien might be Stahl's box selection. From a purely sporting standpoint many fans hoped it would be Collins against Marquard a left handed pitching duel that promised a treat. Jhe batting order was: "' ' ' Ypru.

Employed In California WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. In an ex tended .statement given - out by Sena tor John p. .Works of California, a Progressive Republican, comes out openly for Woodrow Wilson and ad vises all Progressives to vote for the Democratic candidate for President. In announcing his intention, to vote for Governor Wilson, Senator Works says he does in effect throw all per sonaj ambition to the winds; that the Progressives of California, his former friends, , have already denounced him as a traitor and are urging him to re-, sign his seat in the Senate. "Wilson is a real and sincere pro gressive," said Senator Works. "He has proven it by his course and con duct as a public officer and as a can didate. He is running on a sane pro gressive platform. Nothing .of bene fit to; progressive principles or. honest politica can be gained by voting for either Taf t or ' Roosevelt. The best service "Progressive Republicans can render to their party, and to their country, under these unfortunate cir cumstances, Is to , vote for Wilson. It will help : to teach dishonest . manipu lators of ' politics, a wholesome -lesson. If you do you will be denounced as a Democrathy the Republicans, and as a traitor to the Progressive cause by the Progressives as I have been ' al ready. You may lose all chance of future "political" preferment. You: may make so many political enemies by being honest and standing by : your conscientious convictions that - you cannot be elected to any office. You may be made the victim of personal abuse because you have "stood for the truth and for common honesty. But ! all these things count for nothing as j against the abiding, conviction that you have done what you sincerely be- lieyed to be : right What we need to j politics, just now, more than anything else. is oourae;courage to standi firtnly .forjcteKtvhon Nothing. relse wUl-do ' much as this t i-purif y , politics. drive, put - of. .it all selfish - privilege .seekers, dishonest politicians and corrupt bosses, -and protect the rights and interests of the people. 5 ; "The" regular : Republicans," so-called, will take the same course if they are wise. Taf t cannot carry, Califor nia. Everybody knows that. -Therefore a vote for him is worse than a vote thrown away. It is a vote for Roosevelt and the destruction oj the Republican party in the State.. With the new party scheme defeated t the" Republican party can be reunited as a progressive party as it was before some of its members were led away from it into a sham' Progressive par ty by men who assume to be Its leaders, , and ' who care more for po litical success than for the honor of any party. "All good people in California should unite in the effort to rebuke the men who have resorted to this Giants on the run, but even a defeat i scheme of - dishonest politics and to defeat every candidate' who has re ceived his nomination by any such means, be the office for wheh he Is a candidate high or low. This is a time to test the sincerity of people who profess to believe in honesty in poli tics." The Senator adds that no kind of sophistry or evasion can conceal the fact that the methods by which the Progresseive. party secured control1 of California was fraudulent. "It . is pit iful," said he, "that a great movement for reform in politics in California that has achieved so much and prom ised so much more should have been brought to this sorry pass." "The merits of the respective can didates or their partie?," continues the statement. "have nothing" to do w"n an exception or two, not been ,with the question. It is a question of common .honesty and justice. It ; is to be regretted that the law of the State did not allow the Progressive -party a place on the primary ballot."

A switch was to be expected with Devore back in the lineup if Stahl's final choice, instead of Collins, ' was Wood "or another, right handed hurler. There was no more trouble about getting seats today than on any pre ceding day of the series. The early crowds were' easily accommodated and later comers found plenty of space. There was general interest in the an nouncement that should the Giants win today the National Commission had ruled that a coin be tossed tode cide the place of the next game. If New York, should win the game and also the toss, a set of tickets al ready prepared will be placed on sale by the local club the upper - stand seats to be reserved and sold - under restriction in advance;; the lower stand seats to ' be " disposed of : at the gates.
