fourth game of the worlds champion
| ship series. which had been postpon
| ed for five times, the Athletics today
defeated the New York Giants by the
score of 4 to 2. The American league
champions outplayed their opponents
en- all points of the game. They hit
! Mathewson harder than he had ever
| been batted in a worlds champion
ship game, the hits coming when they
meant runs. Bender. on the other
hand pitched steady effective game
throughout. in no inning. except Tie
first. were the Giants able to bunch
their hits. In the opening inning the
visitors scored their only runs on
single, u triple and an infield out. AT
ter this inning they gathered five
hits. The local team started on Math'
ewson in the second inning when
Murphy and Barry each singled, The
Waterloo came in the fourth inning,
when doubles by Baker Murphy and
Davis and infield outs netted three
runs. This seemed to unnerve the
wonderful Mathewson. and he was
not the same stead, deceptive twirler
that the Athletics have batted against
in the other games. Mahewson retir-
ed in the eighth inning to allow Eaok-
or to bat for him and Wiltse finished
the game with one hit being scored
against him.
Clear. cool weather with brisk
wind from the northwest, making ov-
ercoats necessary were the weather
conditions when the fourth game
between Philadelphia and New York
for the worlds championship began
at 2 o'clock. The crowds that filled
the grand stand and bleachers and
overflowed into the field were slow.
en- in arriving today than they were
when the first game was here week
ago. The cool weather kept many of
the spectators away until the last
minute.
There was little animation shown
by the arriving throngs until the
players of the two teams arrived The
Athletics struggled in by ones and
twos and the Giants came in q body
at / O'Clock. Both teams were cheer
ed as they took their turn at practice.
Deyore, left-fielder for New York,
who was reported sick this morning,
was in uniform among the Giants and
IL he was i'll in the forenoon he gave
no evidence of it in the way he ca
vorted around the field.
Frank Baker, the Athletics home
run hitter, appeared to be the hero
Of the crowd. He was cheered as he
came to the bat for the first time in
practice, and storm of applause
swept the grounds as he put the first
ball pitched to him by Pitcher Mar
tin over the right.field fence. The

made no difference TO the fans SC
long as he showed the ability to put
It over again. The next ball sent W
TO him he drove to deep centerfield
The playing field still showed evi
dence of the big rain storm. BEHIND
the foul lines all the way from firs
TO third bases the ground was cover
ed with sawdust. Careful attention t'
the infield which seemed hard ant
fairly fast made sawdust unneces
sary.
The outfield, however, appeared
very heavy. balls hit to the Quite
garden not having the roll to then
as they would with dry hard field
The score:
