What the WrestIers, Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Doing.

In full view of several thousand
Mortified Giant rooters, J. Franklin
Baker, an industrious young ath-
lete, who does odd jobs about third
base for the Athletics, walked to
the plate in Shibe Park, learned
against one of "Rube' Marquard IS
masterpieces and deposited it on
the wrong side of the fence, after
which he strolled leisurely around
the diamond and anchored at the
run terminal, a few laps behind
Edward Collins, who happened to
be visiting at second base when the
collision occurred. Bakers uncall-
ed for brutality put the American
League on the baseball map again,
for it enabled the Athletics to win
the second game of the worlds series
by score of 3 to 1.
Thirty thousand Philadelphia pa
triots stayed up until nearly 4
o clock to see their pets win, it
taking Connie Mack's aggregation
of ball players just one hour and
fifty-two minutes 70 send the Giants
and their admirers back home,
looking as cheerful as the second
plume on hearse.
1t was some time before the Giant,
regained consciousness, but just to
show that one little defeat doesn't
make any difference, they gave a
rousing cheer as the McGraw men
left the battlefield, and served no.

two of the greatest left-hand twirlers
the game has produced.
Plank pitched splendid article

Marquard's delivery, an investiga-

Marquard in nearly every inning,
and only the agility of the men be-
