"While the National League cham pions recognize fully : the disadvan-. take of the position they occupy with the series standing 3' to r in favor of their Boston rivals . who need onjy, one game more to clinch the cham pionship, not a - man of the Giants would admit tonight that he had lost hope. John J.. McGraw, manager of the team, counts on his men to show in this crisis the ' fighting form they displayed several" times during the league season When their rivals for pennant honors -had them forced into a corner. - 'Once more the team is forced down to the last stand," said McGraw, "and I am certain the men will put up a fight that will make their friends proud of them." The intense interest with' which the series has -been, followed all through Its sensational cdurse, has ' abated somewhat among the Giant followers, with the clashing on Saturday of their Ttfopes that, their favorites would win the game in Boston and thus even, up the series. - Despite this, . and in face, of . the somewhat general conviction that the Bostons had "got the jump and .were in a fair way to win out," indications tonight were that another capacity crowd would be on hand at th Polo Grounds tomorrow. The Red Sox did not . arrive from Boston tonight until late and neither Jake Stahl nor Manager McGraw was communicative regarding the selec tion of boxmen for the crucial battle. Marcfuard, however, looked to be the logical selection of the New Tories. Sick - headache Is caused by a dis ordered stomach.

Probabilities pointed to Stahl a pitch ing Collins, his left-handed star, who made 'such an -excellent showing In the tie game of last Wednesday, - -. . With Mayor Fitzgerald and a 12 piece brass - band leading - them, , the 'Boston Red Sox arrived here tonight from their home' city ; convoyed by some 600 happy fans who announced their c preparedness to snout otneir heads off at; the Polo Grounds tomor row. - i - -; At the Grand Central station a big crowd , of New York people was on hand when the visitors arrived. Wi'h the band playing the . Boston . fans sang "Tessie" the song which - they claim has "jinxed the Giants" in ail but one of the contents thus far played Players and followers went - to the Elks Club where they lunched and were given an informal reception.
