Philadelphia, Oct 16. When John Franklin Baker, third baseman, pol ed a home run over the right field wall of Shibe Park, scoring Eddie Collins ahead of him today, he put the Philadelphia Athletics on an
 even footing wath the New York Giants and the two teams will now go to New York for the third game tomorrow h the series for the worlds baseball honors.
 The score:
 Philadelphia 8; New York l.
 The paid attendance was 26,zS6.
 The big hit came in the sixth in- ming with two out, and when the fighting Athletics had touchet up Pitcher Marquard of the National League champions for only three hits. Bakers smash was the last in the game for the American Leaguers but it was enough.
 And just as important as Baker was on the offensive, as was Eddie Plank, the star lefthanded pitcher of Ithe House of Mack on the defen- |sive. The veteran Southpaw never pitched better game in his long |career.
 Only one of the Giants reachei |second base and that was Herzog, who make that bag on long hit to |center field. which Oldring either misjudged or lost in the sun. Plank was never in trouble and in the last six innings New York went out in order.
 Marquard, on whom Manager Me- Braw had pinned his faith to make 1t two straight victories form New York, pitched game that was al most the equal of that of Plank. He allowed the heavy hitting Philadel- phla team but four hits. two in the fourth, in which the Quakers got their first run, with the help of a wild pitch. and two in the sixth. Collins double and Bakers hit out of the grounds.
 In the eighth inning Manager Me- 
 Craw changed pitchers, sending In Crandall, a right handler.
 The New York left handler only once during the game showed any unsteadiness and that was in the first inning He appeared to be nervous and for a time had trouble reaoms Meyers signals. It looked as though he would blow up and Manager Me Graw no doubt thought so too. for he immediatel sent Crandall down the side lines to warm up.
 But Marquard, under the steady coaching of his Indian catcher, soon settled down an3 he had no more trouble until Baker broke up the game in the sixth inning, Marquard however was hit harder than the score indicates.
 Five of the outs were long flies tC Devoe and one long fly went ts lSnodgrass. New York sent only three lfies to the outfleld. two of whici were captured by Lord and one b, IOliring.
 Plank had eight strike outs, De voc falling victim to the cross firt delivery of the Philadelphian fou times, while Marquard struck ou twice, and Snodgrass and Murra! leach once. Six of the Athletic went out by the strike-out route route They were Lord @, Baker Murphy and Plank, 9 Marquard go four of these and Craniall ?, Lori and Plank in the closing inning
 North Neither Plank nor Marquar gave base on balls. The only mis
 pay charged against them was Mar Iquard's wild heave in the first fin
 ming and man hit by d pitched ba'
 by PlaHk. The Athletics went on
 in order in five nnngs.
