of the Worlds Series.
BENDER WAS A PUZZLE

Little old New York" felt just that way
last night. Their base ball idol, the Giants.
yesterday afternoon at the Polo grounds
got the most severe jar they have received
in over two years. when the Athletics of
Philadelphia reversed the result of Mon
days game by exactly the same score
3 to O.
1t was Mathewsons day Monday. Yes
terday afternoon 1t was Bender's.
The Indian pitched ball just a fraction.
just a shade less remarkable than the
former Bucknell boy did in the opening
game OF the worlds series. and his work
against the National League champions has
caused the almost overwhelming sentiment
that the American League pennant winners
were easy prey to shift with remarkable
suddenness.
Monday night McGraw's team needed
only a few more swings of the hour hand
around the dial before being crowned as
victors in the greatest base ball series
ever played. Last night Father Knicker-
booker had his thinking cap on. and he was
doing IL mental sum that is apt to make
MIN dizzier than grounding viewing Man
haitian from skyscraper.
The victory of the Athletics. from a New
York standpoint, was totally unexpected.
Such thing was not thought Of 1t was
SNt ~ iSilS, star tiHiSb dDSOiuleiy shocking.
Gate Receipts Over $4,000.
Worst of all, Greater New York en- masse
al peared to be looking at the Quaker City
ties running rings around the National
League champions. Never before in the
history of the national game was there
Such large crowd looking at two teams
struggling on diamond. When the figures
were footed up it was found that the total
DSl0 admissions % bot ba
receipts broke all records for base ball by
many thousands of dollars. The cash taken
in at the gates totaled $1S95T
With the guests of the New York club
the newspaper men and the telegraphers
counted in. there were upward OF % 900
persons within the Polo Grounds But there
were enough persons outside getting more
or less distinct view of the contest to pop
uiate good-sized town. From the elevated
railroad hundred or-more got a good look
at what was going on, from Coogan's bluff
sized crowd looked down on the field of
play, while away off in the distance across
Manhattan Field, that famous plot of
ground where many great foot ball strue-
giles have taken place. could be seen thou
sands upon thousands of persons who stood
for hours on the high bridge and got
bird s-eye peep at what must have looked
TO them to be pigmies trying to bat
marble.
1t was before such crowd as this that
the teams had their first clash on National
ment in the series upon which depends the
worlds championship and the larger share
of the gate receipts. -. IS
When it was all over; when the teams ran
off the field. when the spectators moved
silently across the green sod which had
been ridely caresSed by the spikes of the
contestants: when the shadows of early
fall evening fell upon the scene where the
two teams had waged warfare, three names
stood out in the days doings as gigantic
as a mountain over a hillock.

Bender the Hero.
Benders name comes first in the list be-
cause for nine exciting. thrilling innings
he stood like a Gibraltar against the mas
sive artillery of the Giants batting rams.
Not once did he weaken; not once did he
appear to lose his confidence; not once. even
though nearly 30.O0o threats hurled the air
splitting cry of the rooter at bay did the
stoicism for which he is noted desert him.
Charles Albert Bender was always the mas
ter of the situation. To him belongs the
biggest share of the credit. and one could
give 1t to him more cheerfully than the
palefaces whom he led to battle, coolIy
major general on parade.
How the Game Went.
There was a roar from the crowd when
Hartsel let McGinnity's first delivery go
past and Umpire ODay yelled '-strike?'
The Phladelphians, though, came back with
their first yell when ''Topsy landed on the
next ball for a pretty single between Dew
lin and Dahlen. Lord failed in two attempts
to sacrifice and then drove the horsehide
to Dahlen forcing Hartsei out at second.
Gilbert tried to relay the ball to McGann
for double play. but Lord got across the
