in the final innings yesterday after
noon and batted out a victory after
the game looked safe for the Giants.
With one down in the ninth Baker

circuit Coombs had outpitched Matty

Giants had gotten off the Iron Man
OF the Athletics, resulting in the only
run Of the locals in the third, when
an out let Meyers score.
Enthusiastic outbursts seemed al
most evenly divided. When New York
forged ahead in the third the echoes
were awakened by a big uproar. But
when Baker in the ninth prevented
what until then had looked like sure
defeat of his team by lacing out his
homer, the din was deafening. The
uproar was renewed when the Phila-
delphians took their winning lead in
the eleventh. The New York fans
stood loyalty by their team up to the
last however, and never gave up
hope until Lapp's true throw to Col
Inns got Becker for the last out.
Jack" Coombs, hero of last years
worlds series. earned further laurels
yesterday by letting down the Giants
with only three hits. Two of these
came in the third inning, resulting in
run, and then Coombs was unsolv-
able until the eleventh. when Herzog
sent rafting double to the left field
fence.
COombs Unhitable.
Coombs struck out seven men.
Snodgrass flaming twice, Herzog, De-
wore, Doyle. Meyers and Mathewson

four men, but none of these figured
in the scoring. He was strong through
out. and perfectly cool at critical
stages.
Manager McGraw pinned his hopes
on Mathewson, and until the fatal
ninth "Christy" held the Athletics
runless. letting them down with FIVE
hits. He was favored by the breaks
of the game, which enabled him to
pull out of holes in the third and
fifth innings. In the third inning. with

SELECT',JURY FOR
NC NAMARk TRIAL

LOS ANGELES, CAL.-Special. With
prospects of actual progress in the Sc
lection of a jury today. interest in the
trial Of James b. Mcnamara switched
from the battle 0ve= the legal require
ments for jury service to the question
ing of the men temporarily occupying
the jury seats.
Clarence barrow, chief counsel for
the defense. evidently pleased at the
answers to the questions he had put to
Talesmen John w. Roberts and Robert
+. Balm, planned today to test them a
few further inquiries.
Should the talesmen answer as salts
factorily as they did yesterday, 1t was
stated that they would be accepted by
the defense and their examination by
the State be begun.
Talesman Roberts evidently made
the best impression upon the defense s
attorneys. Darrow'S questions indicat-
ed that he was satisfied and after the
court had adjourned for the afternoon
remarked to one OF his associates:
You see, / was questioning him with
a view to retaining him, not of getting
rid of him"
1t was expected that the questions
put to the two men today by Darrow
turned over to the State and G. Ray
Horton, who figured in a stellar role
in the fight over Talesman Nelson, will
begin the examination for the State.
1t was expected before court opened
that examination of talesmen would
proceed rapidly during the day. AL
though Judge Bordwell made no ruling
upon the fitness OF Talesman Nelson tC
serve, 1t was believed that the points
brought out by counsel covered the
question of qualifications of jurors
thoroughly, and that, should the mat
ter be brought up again, the argument
would be brief and the judge would
be ready to rule almost Immediately.
It was evident that attorneys for TIL,
defense felt that they had won a vic
tory in the argument.

Five Thousand Scout Masters.

There are five thousand Scout Mas
tiers registered with the Boy Scouts Of
America. More than five hundred
certificates have been issued to men
throughout the country in the last six
weeks. The increase is comparatively
small because in August and Septem-
Der many men are away on their vaca-
tions and the work of organization is
somewhat retarded. 1t is expected,
however, that the boys returning to
school and planning winter activities,
the movement will take a tremendous
step forward. The great growth of
the Boy Scouts of America in the last
nine months is shown when it is con-
sidered that on January 1st there were
1900 Scout Masters.

Mathewson was a broken reed when
