New York, Oct. 25.-The Giants
found their bats today and with but
one game between themselves and de-
feat for the worlds baseball cham
pionship they won by a score Of 4 to
\ In the tenth inning of g. sensational
| uphill struggle against the Philadel-
| phia Athletics, putting themselves
again into the running. Tonight the
| series stands: Athletics won 3 and
lost 2: Giants won and lost 8. The
| Giants earned their triumph largely
| by hard and clean hitting.
The run credited to Captain Larry
Doyle in the tenth inning of the game,
which gave the Giants a victory, was
not legally scored, according to
| statement by Umpire William J. KLEIN
of the National league, who was off,
| ciattng behind the plate as umpire-in-
chief Doyle did not touch the plate,
| according to Klein. and If the Ath-
letics had appealed the umpire said he
would have declared Doyle out and
the inning would have ended in a tie
score, as it was getting dark. The
| official scorers corroborrated the UNI
pire's statement that McGraw, after
the game, admitted Doyle had missed
the plate.
When President Lynch, Of the Ma
| tional league, was told of the incident
this evening said so long as there was
no appeal the game stands q victory
for New York.
KLEIN says Doyle's leg passed over
the plate when he slid, his foot not
touching it. He supposed the Ath-
the fact,
In telling the Associated Press of
the incident KLEIN said: when Muir
ply caught the ball in right field 1 set
myself to see the plate on Murphy's
throw. Doyle came in like a streak
and made a long, wide slide into the
plate. He went across with one leg
back Of the plate and the other over it
about a foot. I saw it plainly and
waited. Lapp evidently did not see
Doyle miss the plate and probably
took It for granted that Doyle had
really touched the plate. None of the
Athletics made an appeal. AS I was
about to move away McGraw, in
passing from the third base coaching
line to the players bench, said to me:

SCENES SELDOM WITNESSED.
Seldom indeed, If ever, has been
such a scene witnessed on the historic
Polo Grounds as during the sensa-
tional winning rally Of the Giants in
the presence Of $4,000 people. Dis

games, the New Workers swung their
bats against Jack Coombs's curves in
the ninth inning to such effect that
two tallies were made, tieing the
score. Then, in their next time up,
they started in at Eddie Plank, who
relieved Coombs, and passed another
run across the plate for a wen-earned
victory.
New York's hopes were at low ebb
as the game started with Marquard
and Coombs as the opposing twirlers,
and sank lower as with two men on
bases Rube Oldring drove the ball into
the left field bleachers for a hOme-run
in the third for three Philadelphia
tallies.
The turning point in the struggle
was reckoned from Crandalps injec-
ton into the game. He pitched the
Athletics into ciphers in the eighth,
ninth and tenth and came to time with
a cracking double with two out In the
ninth. His hit scored Fletcher, who
had doubled, and Devore made
single, bringing in Crandall and the
score was tied, In the tenth Doyle
doubled. went to third when Plank's
efforts to get him failed and scored
when Merkle doomed a high sacrlhce
fly to Murphy.
The New Yorks hit the ball harder
than in any previous game of the Sc
ries. 1t is believed Plank will pitch
tomorrow for the Athletics. Wiltse
will likely pitch for the Giants. Both
teams left tonight for Philadelphia.
WHEN BAKER FAILED.
For New York Doyle starred at the
bat with two singles and two doubles
in five times up. For the Athletics,
Coombs and Oldring each had two
hits Baker failed to acquire safety.
Both teams showed more life on the
bases. each side being credited with
two steals, while both Lapp and Mey-
ers nipped other attempts on the
paths.
Startling features and fielding plays
were not numerous. One Of the best
was the shoestring catch by Devore
off Lord in the first inning. Both
| teams supported their pitchers In me
style.
When the score was tied In the
ninth the scene Of enthusiasm was
| indescribable. The shouting and
cheering from the stands was merged
into one continuous roar. The crowd
that saw the game filed the bleach
ers and lower grand stand, but there
were many vacant seats in the upper
stand. Better weather could hardly
have been asked for from the stand
