New York, Oct 13.-Muggsy Nc
Graw, manager of the Tammany
Tigers, from the bench this afternoon
watched his pets trim The Quaker
City lads. and smiled, then laughed,
finally winding up in a guffaw that
lumbled out of his face with a noise
that closely resembed that made by
a long train of coal cars as II energies
| from a tunnel, when his Tigers hung
ii on the Phillies by score Of / TO 0.
| MOI half of those that wished to see
he fourth game for the worlds cham
pionship could get into the Polo
grounds, and they hung on the high
walls Of the baseball Babylon and
cursed their luck bitterly because
they could not see the Kings of the
| Diamond
Inside the grounds the beachers
grew black with the on-rushing
host They came with last
winters oyercoats. dug up out
of "hock shops" like rapidly
moving storm cloud. but as storm
cloud cannot eat goober peas or hurl
anaihemas at the pair of royal jumps,
the smile comes TO naught,
Pretty soon the spectators became
so closely famed thar burglars
jimmy could not have found another
seat The rope that had done duty be-
fowa mac 81 rotrhad around tho gttf ep a -,
fore was stretched around the outer
field and against this the overflow came
driving in a headlong drift until 1t
was five deep and the Gordon of
police men with high busts and en-
larged stomachs, that their straight
front corsets couldn't hold down~men
of great dignity and firm purpose had
all they could do to keep the crowd be-
yond the margin.
Up beyond the bleachers and all
around the field in fact. the fences
creaked with an endless dado of
hydrophobic fans The roofs of
houses overlooking the grounds were
bordered with baseball DIVORCES who
had paid for seeing the game from
afar
Myriad coils of smoke from
handmade Turkish cigarettes and
and cigars. good, bad and so
so rose above the bleachers
like the pumes of innumerable
tiny volcanoes. Bag of peanuts cut
the air in swift parabolas and the
cracking of the hulls thereof was like
the sound of many locusts.
Altogether the crowd was, composed
Of New York rooters who were willing
10 bet their policies in the Equitable
Life against a handful Of watered stock
that the Joints" would win, with no
takers on the philadelphia end.
The Catholic Protectory band was
there hurting sharps and flats slyward
in wild volIeys II was "Tammany,'
of course "Tammany" the perennial
and eternal.
Four loud clangs Of The big gong
announced that the game was about
to begin. Connie Macks Offering for
Friday was fsh--Plank took his posi-
ton and when the smoke of battle
had cleared away he had been baked
TO turn.
MEG unity, Iron Man McGnnity, he
whom the Indian Bender had
stretched hors du combat like a coon
skin on a country barn door in Tues
days affair was the McGraw selection.
and that he pitched gilt-edged ball is
,,,ia.,,cod nv tho fov that rqipns in
Gotham tonight.
Again the narrowing must be done

third time
