October 12, 1912 - Boston Jumps One On New York

According to The Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Bemidji, MN, dated Saturday, 12 October 1912, tells us that the World Series was being played as "Boston (Red Sox) Jumps One On New York (Giants)," with the superb pitching of Wood pulling out odd game, although New York Giants secured most of the hits.

New York, Oct. 12, 1912 -- The total players share of the receipts for the four World's series games was: $147,571.70. The total attendance back then was 137,004. Total receipts $273,282. commission received $27,308.50. It was to be divided between the clubs $98,381.77.

Brush Stadium, NY, Oct. 12, 1912 -- Joe Wood repeated on Tesreau and the New York Giants and as a result the Red Sox returned to Boston the night before with the jump game once more in their possession and the Giants again one down.

Smoky Wood, with a gray day to help him out, was all there with a margin to spare. Tesreau was good but not enough so to cope with the marvel. Wood's effort was unquestionably a big factor, but no small share of the credit for the win must go to a ball playing centipede by the name of Heinie Wagner.

The count was three to one and but for Wagner's almost superhuman work, the Giant attack would have left a different story to be written of Wood's day's efforts.

Great was the Mackian infield during the 1911 Fall, but it was never within reach of Boston's great quartetts on this day, 11 October 1912.

The Giants hammered Wood for nine hits and but for Wagner and Yerkes would have run the count up to thirteen and driven across at least three more runs and possibly four. Both teams played great ball and Boston won a deserved victory, although the Giants once more outhit the American leaguers.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
