Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Oct. 1S. Penn, looking on from St. Peters celestial grandstands, today, must have been pained by the psy- chic status of his own personally the spirit which has been the weary humorists' old standby was discard ed, today, and every native son, with the memory of Saturdays festivities ranking beneath his watch pocket, was luggfng around Donnybrook disposition and burning thirst for gore. Instead of turning the other cheek to the Giants, who smote them, Saturday, the Athletics were right there with the equivalent of the jaw bone of an ass.
 Those packers of the Gothamftes who expected tot find the white e1e- phafft with his trunk crumpled ana his tail tucked between his legs, to- day, were sadly disappointed. In- stead of being desperately wounded by Gunner Mathewson, who won on Saturday, the brute had only been stung and it was evident, early, that
 
 to his eye. Instead of being dis heartened by Saturdays showing or their prize pets, Philadelphia fans were made the more cocky by the result. Ne argument by dopesters sufficed to convince an Athletic fan that anything more than a rotten break in luck had dropped them be- fore Matty's craftsmanship. There was plenty of even money before to- days game that the Mack men would win the next contest in which Big Six" occupied the mound for the Giants. Further than this, prior to the start of today's game, more Phil adeTphia money was in sight at the odds, even money, than there was prior to Saturdays game. There was plenty of even money in sight, today, although for the most part the bets were small.
 After a dismal outlook, following yesterdays heavy rain and misty the sun came out brightly and in @ few minutes had the dia- mond. which had been carefully cov- cred during all the rain, in ideal con- dition. At 9:3O, the gates to the bleachers were thrown open and the first of the faithful-those who had all night in the rain-dashed for the bleacherites' mecca, the benches back of the first sack From this hour on there was no break In the rush until every seat in the fenced in stands was filled.
 The praOdStandS filled SlouylU hut there was not a vacant seat when the contest started. In addition to the 25,000 to 30.000 persons within the grounds, another 5000 packed the stands which had been erected on the roofs of two blocks of flat buildings in 20th and Somerset streets. While the crowd was much than Saturdays turnout, it was not lacking in enthusiasm and its spirit was much better by reason or it's not having been gouged so deeply by spectators. While some of the tickets had been shared by the sharks none of the speculators held blocks large to indicate collision with the club men.
 That both Mack and McGraw were going to jockey for every point was indicated when the former sent Plank, Coombs and Morgan out for batting practice and McGraw came back by exercising Marquard, Ames, Mathewson, Wiltse and Crandall.
 Discovery that a gang of ticket scalpers were trying to obtain gener- al admission tickets to the Athletics Giants game, to be sold later at eX- orbitant prices, led to the arrest, out side the ball park, today, of four men. The men under arrest are, Frank Newark, N. J.; Louis In- surance Boston, Mass; George Ski bulsh, New York, and Samuel Mor- ris, Jersey City.
