Tactics the Crowd was A..
fectcd by the salient Episodes ef
the Bitter Fight on . Gray Day.
The Athletics had 10 900 rooters at their
backs yesterday. Many Of them arrived
here late Monday night and special trains
brought over the others early In the morn
ing. They headed for the Brush stadium
armed with umbrellas and raincoats. for
the sky was overcast and the weather
shsrps had predicted rain.
Police Inspector McCluskey and 2oo
bluecoats took possession Of Eighth ave-
nue and the adjacent streets before 3
o'clock and enforced the same regulations
which worked successfully on Saturday.
Nearly 1900 applicants for the bleachers
were lined up when the doors were opened
later on. and they passed through the
turnstiles without confusion. Many OF
them carried lunch baskets or boxes. and
others purchased frankfurters. pie and
sandwiches from improvised eating houses
along the avenue.
The chilling wind made those with sum
mer clothes shiver until they had blue
noses and cold fingers. Every person
who bought bleacher ticket received a
| rain check. As the noon hour passed a
drizzle began to fall and holders OF re-
served seats did not arrive in the usual
number. They were holding on until
the last minute to avoid wetting II
possible. But an hour later they became
impatient and soon the elevated trains
and surface cars rolled up packed to SUI
focst stion.
There was congestion at the gates,
which the police soon checked byiforming
headlines half . block away. As soon
as they received a signal that the coast
was clear they allowed several hundred
persons TO approach the entrances In a
bunch. This method stopped riotinG. and
as nearly everybody held . ticket. there
was a steady stream flowing into the i'm
mense grand stand half an hour before
the game.
The entire blea chers by that time did
not provide an inch OF standing room
The people were packed in in such a
manner that nothing but sea OF faces
with a black background could he seen.
Then as the crowd quickly took possession
Of the folding chairs in the concrete
structure it was evident that the record
breaking attendance Of Saturday would
be nearly equalled. Every seat in the
big stand finally was taken except half
a section in the upper tier. which remained

spectators had been stung. There were
$50 seats in this vacant area and nobody
could explain why all these seats were
close together.
Giants Greeted Ferventiy.
The Giants trotted upon the field
before 1 O'Clock The moment they ap-
peared men close to the little gate in right
] field jumped up cheering and waving their
hats. This demonstration swept around
the enclosure until the roar was deafen-
ing. Then a. it subsidized there wore
individual cries OF delight. many fans
shouting the names Of their favorite play
ers. The reception did much to restore
| the confidence OF the Giants. who quickly
learned that the New York baseball public
had not loet faith in them. When
Msthewson appeared he doffei his rep
| a. thousands stood up and cheered him
on his way to tho bench. for everybody
eeemed to know that he would be sent
in to pitch and that upon his skill the
fate Of McGraw's men depended. McGraw
came on the battlefield with his little
strut. head erect and q grim smile playing
around his mouth
Are you going to beat them. Johnny"
was the question that rolled from tongue
to tongue. Johnny grinned some more

You can bet we will. Matty is as fine

Charley Faust. the jinx killer. wearing
q gold medal, was q source Of merriment
As usual. but the fact that the Giants had
been beaten on Monday served TO weaken
confidence in his hypnotic powers. The
Philsdelphia rooteps, many Of whom had
megaphones. made Faust's life miserable
by constantly informing him that he was
a Jonah At one time the Kansas farmer
lost his good nature and assumed a war
like attitude. which OF course increased
the activity OF his tormentors Mar

big man in one OF the lower boxes made
him feel at home by shouting:
