So much speed had been put into it by the stalwart Indian catcher that had the ball got into the outfield it would have gone to the fence. It was | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050601 | the undoing of Wood, but it really led to the victory of Boston. Engle batted for Wood in the tenth. He rapped a long fly to center field which was perfectly played by Snodgrass, but the center fielder dropped the ball. Engle went to second base. On top of his simple muff Snodgrass made a magnificent catch of Hooper's fly, | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050602 | which seemed to be good for three bases. Mathewson bent every energy to strike out Yerkes, but the batter would not go after the wide curves which were being served to him by the New York pitcher and finally was given a base on balls. Speaker hit the first ball pitched for an easy foul which should have been caught | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050603 | by Merkle. The ball dropped between Merkle, Meyers and Mathewson. As was afterward proved the capture of this foul would have saved the championship for the Giants. Speaker, with another life, singled to right and Engle scored the tieing run. The Giants still had a chance, but a feeble one, for Yerkes was on third, with but one out. Gardner | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050604 | flied to Devore. The New York outfielder caught the ball and made a game effort to stop the flying Yerkes at the plate, but failed to do so, and the game was over and the series belonged to Boston.

Spurts of energy on the part of different clubs, unexpected ill fortune on the part of others, and marked variations of form, which ranged from the leaders almost to the | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050666 | lowliest teams of the second division, injected spasmodic moments of excited interest into the National League race for and marked it by more vicissitudes than any of its immediate predecessors. By careful analysis it is not a difficult matter to ascertain why the New Yorks won. Their speed as a run-getting machine was much superior to that of any of | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050667 | their opponents. Every factor of Base Ball which can be studied demonstrates that fact. They led the National League in batting and they led it in base running. They were keenly alive to the opportunities which were offered to them to win games. Indeed, their fall from the high standard which they had set prior to the Fourth of July | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050668 | was quite wholly due to the fact that they failed to take advantage of the situations daily, as they had earlier in the season, and their return to that winning form later in the season, which assured them of the championship, was equally due to the fact that they had regained their ability to make the one run which was | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050669 | necessary to win. That, after all, is the vital essential of Base Ball. To earn the winning run, not by hook or crook, but to earn it by excelling opponents through superior play in a department where the opponents are weak, is the story of capturing a pennant. They were dangerous men to be permitted to get on bases, and | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050670 | their dearest and most bitter enemies on the ball field, with marked candor, confessed that such was the case. Opposing leaders admitted that when two or three of the New York players were started toward home plate one or two of them were likely to cross the plate and that, too, when one run might tie the score and two | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050671 | runs might win the game. While there were some who were quite sanguine before the beginning of the season that the Giants would win the championship, there were others who were convinced that they would have a hard time to hold their title, and after the season was over both factions were fairly well satisfied with their preliminary forecast. The | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050672 | runaway race which New York made up to the Fourth of July gave abundant satisfaction to those who said they would win, and the setback which the team received after the Fourth of July until the latter part of August afforded solace to those who were certain in their own minds that the New Yorks would have much trouble to | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050673 | repeat their victory of . It must not be forgotten, too, that the New York team had the benefit of excellent pitching throughout the year. In the new record for pitchers, which has been established this season by Secretary Heydler of the National League, and which in part was the outcome of the agitation in the GUIDE for a new | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050674 | method of records, in which the various Base Ball critics of the major league cities so ably contributed their opinions, Tesreau leads all the pitchers in the matter of runs which were earned from his delivery. Mathewson is second, Ames is fifth, Marquard seventh and Wiltse and Crandall lower, and while both the latter were hit freely in games in | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050675 | which they were occasionally substituted for others, they pitched admirably in games which they won on their own account. In the opinion of the writer this new method, which has been put into usage by Secretary Heydler, is far superior to anything which has been offered in years as a valuable record of the actual work of pitchers. It holds | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050676 | the pitcher responsible for every run which is made from his delivery. It does not hold him responsible for any runs which may have been made after the opportunity has been offered to retire the side, nor does it hold him responsible for runs which are the result of the fielding errors of his fellow players. On the other hand, | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050677 | if he gives bases on balls, if he is batted for base hits, if he makes balks, and if he makes wild pitches, he must stand for his blunders and have all such runs charged against him as earned runs. Nothing proves more conclusively the strength of this manner of compiling pitchers' records than that Rucker, by the old system, | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050678 | dropped to twenty-eighth place in the list of National League pitchers, finished third in the earned run computation, showing that if he had been given proper support he probably would have been one of the topmost pitchers of the league, even on the basis of percentage of games won, which is more vainglorious than absolutely truthful. The Giants are to | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050679 | be commended for playing clean, sportsmanlike Base Ball. There were less than a half dozen instances in which they came into conflict with the umpires. The president of the National League complimented Manager McGraw in public upon the excellent conduct of his team upon the field and the players deserved the approbation of the league's chief executive. * * * | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050680 | * * The general work of the Pittsburgh team throughout the year was good. It must have been good to have enabled the players to finish second in the championship contest, but the team, speaking in the broadest sense, seemed to be just good enough not to win the championship. As one man dryly but graphically put it: "Pittsburgh makes | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050681 | me think of a wedding cake without the frosting." Fred. Clarke, manager of the team, adhered resolutely to his determination not to play. It was not for the reason that the impulse to play did not seize upon him more than once, but he had formed a conviction, or, at least, he seemed to have formed one, that it would | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050682 | be better for the organization if the younger blood were permitted to make the fight. It was the opinion of more than one that Clarke incorrectly estimated his own ball playing ability, in other words, that he was a better ball player than he credited himself with being. As batters the Pittsburghs were successful. As fielders they were superior to | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050683 | the team that won the championship. As run-getters they were not the equal of the Giants. In brief, fewer opportunities were accepted to make runs by a much larger percentage than was the case with the New York club, which can easily be verified by a careful study of the scores of the two teams as they opposed one another, | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050684 | and as they played against the other clubs of the league. It took more driving power to get the Pittsburgh players around the bases than it did those of New York. In tight games, where the advantage of a single run meant victory, the greater speed of the New York players could actually be measured by yards in the difference | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050685 | of results. Naturally it was not always easy for the Pittsburgh enthusiasts to see why a team, which assuredly fielded better than the champions and batted almost equally as well, could not gain an advantage over its rivals, but the inability of Pittsburgh Base Ball patrons to comprehend the lack of success on the part of their team existed in | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050686 | the fact that they had but few opportunities, comparatively speaking, to watch the New York players and found it difficult to grasp the true import of that one great factor of speed, which had been so insistently demanded by the New York manager of the men who were under his guidance. Pittsburgh had an excellent pitching staff. Even better results | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050687 | would have been obtained from it if Adams had been in better physical condition. An ailing arm bothered him. While he fell below the standard of other years, one splendid young pitcher rapidly developed in Hendrix, and Robinson, a left-hander, with practically no major league experience, pushed his way to a commanding position in the work which he did. Until | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050688 | the Giants made their last visit to Pittsburgh in the month of August the western team threatened to come through with a finish, which would give them a chance to swing into first place during the month of September, but the series between New York and Pittsburgh turned the scale against the latter. Fired with the knowledge that they were | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050689 | at the turning point in the race the New York players battled desperately with their rivals on Pittsburgh's home field and won. Even the Pittsburgh players were filled with admiration for the foe whom they had met, and while they were not in the mood to accept defeat with equanimity, they did accept it graciously and congratulated the victors as | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050690 | they left Pittsburgh after playing the last game of the season which had been scheduled between them on Forbes Field. First base had long bothered Clarke. Frequent experiments had been made to obtain a first baseman, who could play with accuracy on the field and bat to the standard of the team generally. Clarke transferred Miller from second base to | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050691 | first and the change worked well. More graceful and more accurate first basemen have been developed than Miller, but in his first year of play at the bag he steadied the team perceptibly and unquestionably gave confidence to the other men. But making a first baseman out of Miller took away a second baseman and second base gave Clarke more | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050692 | or less concern all of the season. At that, Pittsburgh was not so poorly off in second base play as some other of the teams of the senior circuit. * * * * * Two important factors contributed to the success of the Chicagos in . For a few days they threatened to assume the leadership of the National League. | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050693 | With the opportunity almost within their grasp the machine, which had been patched for the moment, fell to pieces, and the Cubs, brought to a climax in their work by all the personal magnetism and the driving power of which Chance was capable, were exhausted by their strongest effort. The courage and the wish were there, but the team lacked | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050694 | the playing strength. To return to the factors which contributed to the club's success. They were the restoration to health of Evers, and a complete change in the manner of playing second base, added to the consistent and powerful batting of Zimmerman. The latter led the league in batting and repeatedly pulled his club through close contests by the forceful | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050695 | manner in which he met the ball with men on bases. A third contributing force, though less continuous, was the brief spurt which was made by the Chicago pitchers in the middle of the season. They were strongest at the moment that the New York team was playing its poorest game, and their temporary success assisted in pushing the Chicagos | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050696 | somewhat rapidly toward the top of the league. They were not resourceful enough nor strong enough to maintain their average of victories and finished the season somewhat as they had begun. The most of Chicago's success began to date from the early part of July, when Lavender, pitching for the Cubs, won from Marquard of the Giants, who, to that | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050697 | time, had nineteen successive victories to his credit. Chicago continued to win, and the New York team made a very poor trip through the west. Lavender's physical strength held up well for a month and then it became quite evident that he had pitched himself out. Then was the time that the Chicagos could have used to good advantage two | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050698 | and certainly one steady and reliable pitcher, who had been through the fire of winning pennants and would not be disturbed by the importance which attached to games in which his club was for the moment the runner-up in the championship race. Chicago managed to hold its own fairly well against the New York team. Indeed, the Cubs beat the | 60 | gutenberg |
twg_000000050699 | New Yorks on the series for the season, but there were other clubs, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati, which won from Chicago when victories were most needed by the Cubs, and their hope to capture the pennant deserted them as they were making their last trip through the east. The race was not without its bright side for Chicago. Even | 60 | gutenberg |
