afternoon ready to applaud In a conservative manner young men who were wera yesterday Mathewson- Mathewson Ired at the Polo grounds They grant us that it was a famous lamous victory ut wait walt they sa say acidly wait walt until Stuffy Sturry McInnis Is back at first Then we shall see what wo we shall shan see sec So we shall shull Indeed The absence of ot the Gloucester fisher I boy on the initial sack undoubtedly made much difference in the Athletic I infield The worlds world's champions are arc not particularly peppery on ordinary occasions oc oc- oc- oc at best and with out they die away to a whisper Stuffy Is the Incarnation of ot that mysterious element element element ele ele- ment which makes a ball club seem aggressive aggressive ag ag- ag- ag re g-re and active no matter what kind of or ball ban it Is playing The other members of ot the tho Athletic Infield seemed a little lost without him taking the throws at t first although h they thoy certainly should be thoroughly fa familiar fa- fa millar with the veteran Davis The They say eay that Davis has taught Mcinnis to play first and If that be true tho the pupil has surpassed the master One victory is not a series b by a long long- ways but the Giant supporters believe that tho the first punch is a cleanup No Athletic twirler is like likely to pitch the kind of ball bali that Bender did In that first game ame On the tho other hand Marquard is likely to come In with one ono of or his finest gaines 6 6 tomorrow and Mathewson 1 can repeat Tuesday If It the Giants win again Monday it Is not a bad bet that McGraw uses Red fled Ames Amts for tor tho the third game or possibly Wiltse c. c Ames is going along in grand shape Just now and HO to o is the old re reliable reliable re- re liable Hook but the tho main thing is to win that second game before tho the third game gamo possibilities are arc mentioned Marquard Marquard Marquard Mar Mar- ought to be in grand shape If he gets out there with all his lila speed and control tomorrow there Is little to the game b but t the Reuben Rcuben IB is no Mathewson when It comes to forecasting his form torm That Is the big hander left has not yet et established est himself upon the tho samo same plane lane of ot reliability as Matty latty although It t is believed that the time will clime cumo when Marquard's form torm will be taken for Cor granted Just as Mathewson's Is now It must be remembered that Rubo's Hubo's bad breaks toward the close of ot the season came amo after aCter a long tough campaign in which he pitched oftener than any man manIn manin mann In n tho tue h league ngue Marquard is not physically physic physic- ally a strong fellow Ho lie Is thin and ather rather frail CraU compared to some other players and many tonny a u time timo he hel had to work more on his nerve than anything else Ise He lie likes to pitch litch and sometimes he overestimates o s his hia strength When hen he lie was vas cracking badly at the close of the thc I season eason VIlbert Robinson the old Oriole who vho coaches the Giant pitchers I In tho spring pring and who handl handled d Marquard this year ear ear joined the club at Chicago Ho lie took ook one ono look at t Rube Hube when the left left- lander bander first t to work against the Cu Cubs bs- bs Why Vh he needs rest declIned Robbie Theres nothing to It It it-he's he's hes stale So Marquard got a good Rood layoff and came caine Lack back like a lion Hon Now he has had hall the he longest rest he has enjoyed this season The work of Fred Ired In that opening game amo wilt will bo talked of ot a long longtime time Imo by New ew York fans Cans It was nothIng noth- noth lag Ing ns short ot of marvelous Twice he Savea saved the day on fielding plays although he disappointed all his admirers who thought he ho would eat cat Benders Bender's speed peed up At bat the lon long first bas baseman man did not look ook good but his fielding made up for e else Great Is Fred rrell Merkie For we wc weeks ks past t the close followers of oC the he Giants have havo been telling about Ohio Germans German's work but many fans rans thought It was a exaggerated d. d After Arter Saturdays Saturday's work man many mant are claiming that stands first among tho the men playing his position in the tho big leagues Herzog too was a revelation arc It ft was not 1 so 0

lost the lost the JUIA Maryland r was tho the soul of ot hope and optimism Meyers Meers fooled thorn them all True the tho chief may mY fall fail down before the serIes Is over but Just mako a little bet that he ho doC doesn't and your our money will be on a good card Tho The big Indian never ne re received re- re Calved Mathewson's delivery better and white while that short passed ball hurt some
