PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-The
weather for the fourth game between
the Philadelphia Athletics and the
New York Giants in the series for the
worlds championship is clear and
cold. A stiff wind is blowing from
the northwest. The field is still heavy
from the recent rains.
!; Crowds Slow Arriving.
The, crowds that filed the grand
stand and bleacher seats and over
flowed into the field were slower in
arriving today than they were when
the first game was played here q
week ago.
The cool weather kept many spec;
tators away until the last minute
There was little animation shown BY
the aarriving throngs until the play
ers of the two teams arrived. The
Athletics struggled in by ones and
twos and the giants came in body
at | o'clock. Both teams were cheeredl
as they took their turn at practice.
Hundreds in Line.
Before o'clock there were sew
eral hundred in line at Shibe park
waiting for the bleacher gates to-:
open. After 9 o'clock there were 1900
persons congregated about the en-
trance. All reserved seats were sold
before tn first gam was played, a
before the first game was played,
week ago yesterday, and another crowd
grounds will no doubt be on hand
when play begins. Both teams are in
fit condition for the game. The
weeks rest has tuned up the men,
Who were on the velge of staleness
and has enabled the pitchers to get
back their strength for their strenuous
work in the box.

Batteries for today are Mathewson
and Meyers for New York, and Ben
der and Thomas for Philadelphia.
