and showed excellent speed and skill.
Although the crowd was much
smaller than witnessed the first game
at New York, the excitement was
much greater. The battle was less or
pitchers affair, the hitting being
more open. Vanguard seemed to lack
the control which characterized him
during the National league season, the
climax coming in the sixth inning.
when Baker batted a home run with
Collins already on base. Marquard
gave Baker g. wide curve, which Baker
stepped into.
Have Chance to Cheer.
Philadelphia rooters had the first
chance to cheer, run coming their
way in the first inning. Lord singled
and Oldring sacrificed. Then Mar
guard shot a wild one which went to
the stands, Lord scoring with ease.
The Giants tied it up in the second.
Herzog doubled and then Meyers sim
gled, following Fletcher's infield out.
This was enough to score Herzog.
Nothing much more happened until
the sixth, when the Athletics took
Marquard's measure. With two down,
Collins doubled and Baker let loose
homer that sent Philadelphia stock
sky high. Two runs to the good looked
as good as a victory.
Giant Rioters in Despair.
AS it resulted, the two runs were as
big as a thousand, Plank holding the
enemy helpless for the remainder of
the game. Giant rooters pulled hard
for one of the old-time rallies. cheer
ing and shouting as their idols went
down to grim defeat.
Hits were as scarce as hens teeth,
New York getting Ave off Plank and
Vanguard yielding scant four. But
these few hits were, for the most part,
extremely useful as regards scores.
New York had only three men left on
bases and the Athletics one less.
Rube Marquard plainly showed his
inexperience in series like this. He
was nervous at several stages, in
marked contrast to the cool and col
lected Plank. The latter had his side
arm delivery working in splendid
fashion and his wide curves puzzled
most of the Giant batters.
The Athletics were quick to take
advantage of every opening, and their
supporters backed them in lively
fashion.
