HAVE FOURTH GO today
MATHtWS0N AMB BENDER
LOOK GOOD TO START It
Neither Manager Willing To Say
Who Is To Slab, But Matty
and Chief Look Good.
WHAf'LL HAPPEN TO SNoD3
Maybe Wrath of Fans Against
Giant Has Cooled and
Maybe 1t Hasn't.
WHAfLL HAPPEN TO sNoDf
BY oRANTLAND RICE.

Altar rain had occasioned the long
est postponement ever recorded IN
baseball history, the Giants and Attn
letics mix things up again this after
noon at water-logged ShiOe park
n has been so long since the last
game was played that IL Is almost
necessary to explain that the Giahls
and Athletics, having won the pen
nants in their respective leagues, are
now engaged in fighting II out, the
best four games In seven, loI w ~
baseball championship OF the world
The Athletics have won TWO sanes
and the Giants one. This explana-
ton is offered for the beneht Oh tnose
who NAV have forgotten that pack
earlier the year-seVen Gays
earlier In the year-seven DAYS
was played in Gotham ana then lne
teams were stopped by the t"ehue'n
century food.
struction in the ampnlolan art ln
players believe themselves pronViens
to continue the series either as IONS
distance swimmers or water poioist,
IL the series continues with the Salne
relative speed, 1t Is propaoie II WI"
be finished on ice skates about Jan.
Christy Mathewson and BIG ehie i
Bender are looked upon as the mos
likely candidates for pitchlns nonoo
this afternoon, though neither MAI
ager McGraw nor Manager Man
(which isn't his name at an VIZ
youchsafe any information on lts
point. Mathewson has nad weeA
OF complete rest, however anu -
practice yesterday, showed up VII
All his old time speed ana curves
Rube Marquard or Ames, howe'el,
may be selected, though the chane1s
strongly favor Matty, 10 win 'nis
game, the Giants will again De on AZ
an even footing with the Atniel.Ss.
To lose is practically TO lose the
series. For that reason, IL ID peneN'u
NcGraw will use his heaviest ar'u
,ery--the experienced Mathewson.
Bender, who dropped the nrst SAINT
10 the Giants, is wild tor reVense'
and Mack may send him In, tnousn
there is still possibility tnat liam
or Coombs will be selected. fianh
and Coombs both have been victorious
IN their contests against the roio
urounders, eoombs work IN hofaihs
them to three hits in III innings pe
ing especially commendahie IN tne
eyes OF the Quaker City fans. IL 10
barely possible that Mack Will ue
eide to permit one OF these TWO 70
try to repeat, rather than take
chance on getting Bender peateh
again.
But the early morning prospects
as said before, were Tor Matne"son
and Bender to start the game.
There Is considerable speculation
A TO the reception to be accorded
this afternoon TO Fred Snodgrass
when he appears at Shibe park. II
IN probable the long layof has per
United the wrath of the fans and
PLAYERS to cool on considerably, and
there may be no mention made or
( the spiking incident. when Snodgrass
twice drove his spikes into portions
OF ]. Franklin Bakers anatomy. And
!. then again there may be. II Is hard
to tell what baseball fan Will do.
