I Today's tip-"One best bet" JUPI-
TER PLUVIUS.
Jupe Pluvius was jealous because he
was not getting enough press notices.
Where is the weather man who pre-
dicted fair weather for today?
Mathewson says: "Our sole chances
now seem to depend on Ames. He will
work today and Marquard tomorrow"
but Christy was not looking for another
rainy day, and 1t is more than likely
thai Marquard will uphold the Giants
end in the next game, with Mathewson
following.
Because there was nothing else to do
and all of the extra help employed by
the had to write something,
most of them rehashed the S~nodgrass-
Baker spiking incident yesterday. Some
of the scribes, even in New York, de-
nounced Snodgrass In no uncertain
terms. To the writer who saw the
NAV from an unprejudiced standpoint
IA seemed that Snodgrass was no more
to blame thar Baker. Frank, after re-
ceiving the ball, took a position facing
the on-rushing runner his left foot
even with the corner of the bag. There
was scarcely enoukh room for Snow
to slide by his enemy. Baker, just as
Snodgrass dove, feet first, for the bag,
swung his arm up and touched Snod-
grass In the Dit of the mi after
the Athletics arm had passed between
the Giants legs on its journey. One
of "Snod's" spikes caught Baker on
the 1eshy part of the right arm and
the other sunk into his knee. Because
Snodgrass had committed the same
offense, quite by accident, 1t is said, in
the first game, many fans thought his
act was deliberate and they roundly
Kissed the Giant out1elder.
Give Jupe Pluv credit for doing what
Matty and Marquard failed to do 1t
stopped Bakers bat.
Connie Mack and his Athletics are
out for revenge, they say and are
greatly incensed over Bakers spiking.
Two straight is the only way they can
be appeased, according to Mack.
Eighteen stage managers and nine
brewers called on Frank Baker yester-
day. The IS. MS" wanted to give
Baker a prima donna's salary, as much
as $4,000 per week being offered by
one man, while the brewmasters want
ed to present Baker with thirst dis
pensaries in Philadelphia.

And when YOU are placing the credit
do not skip Harry Davis. Harry has
SLOWED up noticeably. Hits that he
used to beat out with ease are no
longer hits for him., but he has a good
sized batting average nevertheless,
Which is all the more to his credit.

Early this morning it looked as
though a truce would again be neces-
sary. Yesterday members of both
teams attended a matinee at a Phila-
deiphia theatre.
~Snodgrass says: 81 did not try to
spike Baker. He sets himself direct
ly in the path of the runner and is the
hardest man in either league to get
around"
Why have the Athletics won?
Just because their pitchers outpitched
the Giants, the batters outhit he
Giants and the felders outfelded the
Giants, according to the records.
.
1t seems a certainty now that each
of the members of the winning team
will carry off something like $4,000. The
average citizen works about three years
for the sane amount.
1t is figured by some hat Christy
M~athewson will clear $15,0 900 this year
from his various positions as pitcher.
