In the expectation that the beloved giants were
about to rend the Quaker ballplayers limb from
limb and send the fragments back to Philadelphia
In Red Cross car It did not take long to
convince the rampant rooters of the polo grounds
that the Athletics were not present for the pur-
pose of being slaughtered to make Manhattan
holiday and that if any slaughtering was to
be done they would WELD the ak. ~s..s ./, ...: .
When the conmotion was all over and the
giants had run to their dressing-room, not to
escape the admiring plaudtts of the mob btu to
get out Of sight as soon as possible the crowd
filed out of the grounds wondering what had
happened to the baseball heroes who hive set
the Hudson river on fire regularly every summer
for several years past. But the giants found
yesterday that it was q different proposition
mopping up the floor with collection Of minor
leaguers like the Brookyns and beating first
class team like the Athletics. 1...a,e," -. -
/. ~ : Fans Downcast. ~,.@ Ss>.
The victory Of the great Matthewson on the
opening game of Monday had impressed the fam
boyant fans Of the metropolis with the idea
that the giants were engaged in a little cake
walk and that 1t was all over except the shout
ing. They were paralyzed with astonishment
when the boys in the mouse-colored suits held
the giants inning after inning and finally shut
them out in one Of the most exciting contests
ever seen at the polo grounds. :
To Bender,:. the giant Indian pitcher, must go
Superb is the only word that titly characterizes
the work the big copper skinned athlete did on
the slab for his team. He had the speed of an
/. arrow shot from the bow of Chippewa marks
man, he was cool Eskimo in SHOW hut
and his aim was as good as that Of Davy Crock
ett. This combination was too much for the
giants, who struggled along for time but finally
wilted and went down to defeat. IL. 5.''
1t was the most crushing defeat that the
giants had ever received the home ground
and it cut them to the heart y iE
They have been beaten at the, poloi grounds
by larger scores, and have played worse ball than
they did yesterday, but never have they received
defeat that ranked SO in their hearts as
did the beating yesterday at the hands of the
American league champions. Much rather would
they have fallen at the hands Of the detested
P1ttsburgs than to have the "a, 900 dyed-in- the
wool rooters from the 'hotbed of the National
league see them humbled by the representatives
IN getting tcothold in this city. But the
giants and their rapid supporters were COM
PEELED to swallow their medicine, which they
did with very wry faces. - -. = ~:
Two Errors for Each. 4
Exactly two errors were made behind each
pitcher. When the giants erred the athletics
batted the ball safely and got in runs But
Bender he settled down to solid work and utterly
prevented any more damage That is where he
excelled the once famous McGinnity. The In
dian showed great coolness in the first when
Bresnahan opened the game with two-baser
Brown and Donlin were retired on pop flies
and McGann was famed. -g- -=.~a1.~.-.
Anotner t1ght hole from which the Indian
trcated himself, with the able assistance of the
catcher, was in the second inning whep after
Mertes had been retired on strikes, both Dahlen
and Devlin We're sent to first on balls. Some
OF O'Day's decisions were a bit awry, but the
Indian never indicated by word or gesture that
anything was wrong. p 81
AS soon as Dahlen and Dev1in were com
forta0ly situated on the bases, they concluded
to try one Of the famous double steals that
were always SO successfully worked against the
throwing Of such great catchers as Needham

ball to Lave Cross and Dahlen was out by
