NEW YORK. Oct. fa.--With only
one more victory needed to ciineh the
local championship. the New York
Giants headed for the Yankees hill
top grounds to-day. determined to put
the finishing touches to the series.
To this end it was behaved that
McGraw would pitch "eRd' Ames
who showed great form when he re.
lieved Crandatl In Mondays i game.
Manager Chase was hard put for Il
pitching selection. He intimated thar
IL Ford was In condition he would
send him in, Notwithstanding the ract
that the Young star pitched seven In
nings Monday. Ford In dissatisfied
with his showing against the Giants
and b anxious To take another crack
at them. Ii Ford is not in good trim.
Warhop will likely climb the mound.
The players share In the series VIII
be $3S.S71.so. If the Giants WIN, their
so per cent. Of this will be divided
among twenty-one playeAs, giving each
man $l.11O.s2. II the Hignianners
win. twenty-five players viii split up
$l,06O.14 APIECE. But the Highlanders
will probably have to be aatisfied with
the Losers share Of S706.76 each.

on the north side of the river. while
Wills ~ a resident of Southside. This
viii add more interest to the match.
The men Will wrestle catch-as-catch-

front elevating planes. but much
smaller. II measures twenty feet
from tip to tip and the main support
ing surfaces are much narrower than
usual. They are placed SO close to-
gether that there Is barely room for
the operator to sit between them.
The racer is equipped with an eight
cylinder Water-cooler motor of about
fb-hGrsepeWer, which drives the pro-
peliers al higher speed than those on
the present biplane. The control is
practically the same as on the slower
machines.

But in Coombs' case the batters wero

Murphy's Peculiar Record.
Murphy's batting figures are the
most interesting, showing that not a
strike was pitched to him all day that
he did not meet. First time up ne
WAS wa ked on four consecutive bad
rballs. Four times later he went to
bat. and each time he hit the first ball

other time for outs. Davis also was
eager. meeting the second ball twice

Despite all that has been said about

unsteady as he was Nine Chicago bat

others allowed Coomhs to deliver but

the best walters. each getting three
bases on balls.
