Opening of the Series Be

PHILADELPHIA. BOSTON
Tn the Former Americans, in Spite of a Brilliant Game, Failed to Score Against the nasterfuI Performance of the Giants.

Philadelphia, Oct 9.-AIasterly pitch :ng by Christy Matthewson, backed up by gilt edged playing by the men be- hind him, gave the New York National League champions a victory today ov- CT the Philadelphia American League pennant winners in the first of the series of seven games for the worlds championship. Philadelphia failed Co score, Matthewson allowing the home team only four hits. while the New Yorks' managed to score three runs off Plank.
 Although defeated. Philadelphia played a brilliant game. New YorS's great pitcher moved the home play CTS in almost one, two three order or the thirty-One men who faced him, only eight reached first. four of them O.. hits three on fielders' choices and one on DOnlan's muir of a short fly Only one man, Schreck, reached third and he was thrown out at the plate on a close play.
 New York also excelIed in base running, four of the visitors being ere dited with stolen bases The only de- partment where the Philadelphia club outshone the New Workers was in field ing. They gave Plank as brilliant sup port as has been seen here for lons time. Monte Cross at snort and Cap tain Lave Cross at third made some phenomenal stops and quick throws while on the run. The team played without an error. For New York Dah- len and Devlin were all over the i'm field the latter making several hard stops and throws. Donlin made New Ia Har on a short fly ball and muffed it. IL resulted in nothing as the runner was doubled up at second on the next play
 MatthewsOn singled to center in the fifth inning, but was forced at second by Bresnahan. who stole second Browne was an easy out and Bresna- han scored on Donlin's single tO the left field. McGann was purpOsely sent to first on four balls. Mertes hit to the centerfield crowd, scoring DOnlin with New YOrk's second run. Dahlen was an easy out. The visitors scored their third run in the ninth on Gnberts third hit of the day. MatthewsOn's sac rifice and Bresnahan's single.
 The nearest Philadelphia came to scoring was in the sixth inning when Schreck opened the inning with a beautiful drive for two bases He reached third on PIank's sacrifice, but was thrown out at the plate by Mat thewsOn, who gathered in HartseITs sharp srounder.
 While the interest in the series is widespread the crowd was not as large as that which saw any one of the three games between the home team and Chicago, when they played their ser ies about ten days ago for first place The paid admissions was officially an nounced at 1895.

Youth Who Never Suffered Injury
Victim of Hydrophobia.

BAYONNE, Nov. 2:-Telling of a
peculiar death Sunday, A. c. Forman,
city physician of Bayonne, made pub
lie last evening the case of a youth
who died of nydrophobia without
having been bitten by any animal.
Neither the youth nor his parents
could remember that he had ever
beer bitten. The victim was Walter
Murdoch, nineteen years old, whose
home was in No. Is West Fiftieth
street, Bayonne. He was stricken
three days before his death, and DR..
Forman was called to attend him.
Dir. Forman called in New York
specialists, all of whom. as well as
DR.. Forman. diagnosed the case as
clearly one of hydrophobia. The on
ly injury that young Murdoch re-
membered ever having received was
caused by a rusty nail which scratch
ed one of his feet while swimming
seven years ago. Both Murdoch and
mis- parents were positive that he
never had been bitten by any animal.
Murdoch suffered three days of ag-
ony before he died.

"shooting the Moon.

1t is curious to remark how different
ly men of different races comport them
selves in the presence of identical
emergencies. When an Irlshman, for
example, finds that he cannot pay his
rent, he insists on remaining in his
homestead all the same and when an
organized effort is made to turn him
out he climbs up on TO the roof of his
domicile and throws hives Of bees
at the invaders. When an Englishman
finds himself in a similar predicament
he breaks the law by stealth-that is
to say, he moves his furniture secretly,
by midnight, to another lodging and
leaves no address behind him. And,
as all the world knows, shooting the
moon" is the technical term for this
nefarious performance. If one were
asked by a5stranger how the poor live
In outcast London one would have to
answer that it is largely "by shooting
The moon that a great many of them
nre enabled to exc out a precarious
London Graphic.
