 A hush fell as Lord, nervously talk ing a wagon tongue, stepped from the bench to the plate, and the con- test which will make the Turko-Ital- ian war look like comedy, was on
 FIRST INNING.
 ladelphia-AIatty' first offering cut the plate, unmolested by Lord, and a mighty roar went up. The Athletic left fielder swung intellectual ly at the second one and a roar chased the echo Lord fouled the next three and a funeral hush spread over the crowd which was broken when the batter famed and thousands of hats went skyward. Three pitch ed balls sufficed to send Oldring to the bench with a, fan-out to his credit. Collins drove the first ball pitched to Devore, who captaured it after a hard run. No runs, no hits. no errors.
 Matty's fade-away was working in perfect shape and he retired the side on 10 pitched balls, not a ball among the lot.
 New York-The first batter up for the Giants, Devore, drew two strikes and then waited. He bounced an easy one to Bender, who threw him out at first. Captain Doyle got an ovation as he trotted to the plate, but Chief Bender just grinned and whipped one straight across. Doyle met it square ly and singled safely to short right. Snodgrass was forced to wait while Bender took several shots at first in evident determination to keep the Giants captain frozen to the bag. The chiefs curves were twisting fiercely and Snodgrass drew two strikes and then famed on a high, fast one around his necktie. Bender threw seven times to drive Doyle back to first and then the Giant captain pilfered second on the first ball pitch ed to Murray. Murray famed. No runs, one hit. no errors
 Bender retired the side on 16 balls pitched to four batters and the crowd settled down to wait for the ill-fated moment when one of the two men would break down under, the nervous strain.
 SECOND.
 Athletics-Baker met Matty's first offering, singling neatly to right. Mur- phy sacrificed, Matty to Markle. Ba- ker took third on a passed ball, Chief Meyers failing to handle one of Mat tvs drops. With one out and Baker on third, Davis singled, through short scoring Baker. Barry lined one to Matty, which was too hot to handle. but Big Six knocked it down and re- tired Barry at first, Davis taking sec ond. Thomas out. Herzog tQ Markle. One run, two hits, no errors.
 Baker and Murphy each hit the first ball pitched. Davis single came with two strikes. Barry hit the. first one pitched. Matty pitched three nalss to Thomas.
 Giants-Merkle out, Collins to Oa- wis. Herzog out, Barry to Davis. Fletcher famed. No runs, no hits, no errors.
 Chief Bender had struck his stride in the second and disposed of the mid in one, two, three order without bob ble. He got good hand when he stepped to the plate as the first bat ter in the Athletics turn.
 THIRD INNING.
 Athletics-Bender laid a punt down at Matty's feet and as the latter grabbed it and tossed it gently to first, the Indian saved his effort by failing even to canter forward to first. Lord drove a long fly to Murray. who pulled it down directly in front of the grandstand wall. Oldring doubled down the left foul line and slid safely into second. Collins drew three and two and when the fourth wide one came over, trotted to first, getting the first base on balls of the game. Bak- CT came up obviously anxious and swung wildly at the first one. The next one was equally bad but the Attn letic third sacker stabbed at it and missed. Baker famed. No runs, one hit, no errors.
 ' New York-Chief Meyers got a warwhoop as he stepped up but his best effort was pop fly dropped in to Oldring's mitt. Matty was all there with the patience stuff and drew three and two before the chief put the third strike across and re- tired him. Devore drew four wide ones, Bender's first gift. Bender had evidently heard of Devore as a base stealer and his throws to the first sack kept the speedy little outf1elder flew to Lord. No runs, no hits, no errors.
