 Quaker City fans regarded today's game as the crux If the Athletics should win they would be crowned again as worlds champions. If the Giants win, the two teams, would be on m even footing and the final game would be played in New York, among 7 fans hostile to the Athletics. There was great speculation as to who would do the honors for the two teams. Mathewson and Marquard are both @.out'' and McGfaw has either Grand alt Ames or Wiltse to fall back on. Erandalrs great work in yesterday game will probably give him the edge though wiltse and Ames still have chance.
