Davis does not rank with McInnes
az q batter. fielder or base runner.
He has played very little except since
McInnes' injury, and he has shown
little OF his old-time form.

cannot throw the ball from first base

can be used even az q pinch-hitter.
Managers Mack and McGraM were
late risers this morning. They went

and confident: McGraw serious and
apparently with the belief that hiH

Athletic players observed the old
early to bed, early to rise rule. md
all were up bright and early and took
walks. The Giants will meet this fore
noon at the Polo grounds. for finat
rehearsal OF signal plays.
| Both teams will use entirely new
si3nalB IN the series and each prob
ably has two more extrawfotf IN re-
serve. Scouts from each team have
watched the enemy play the past three
weeks. Mc0raw, TO make doubly sure
against leak. did not give the Giants
their signals until yesterdays secret
practice.
There will be little more betting
unless there il break just before
| the game starts. Long odds VIII pe
offered on the winner Of the nrst
same.
Giant Supporters have hedged on
giving odds. Athletic fans have been.
holding out for at least 10 to 3.
The crowds at the Polo Grounds be-
gan 70 gather before midnight last
night Women as deep-dyedin-the-
wool fans as the men, were among
those In line, waiting for the gates TO-
omen. IL Is estimated that 10000 fans
ciamored for admittance and II re-.
ouired heroic duty OF the police re-
serves to preserve order. Fights for
advantageous positions In the line
were numerous, but withal II was Q
| good-natured crowd. Those In line
early had brought campstools TO rest
ON during the long hours before dawn
The streets were strewn with empty
lunch boxes the early arrivals having
brought their victuals with them.
When the last ticket had been sold
| fully 5000 disappointed fans were
stili In line, but were unable to secure
admittance. They hung around, hop
ing against fate that they would get
| inside the enclosure.

the police gradually forced the crowds
back from the gates and formed a
dead line. No one without the neces-
sary pasteboard admission or other
credentials was allowed to pass over
| II.
A food of bogus tickets added TO
the fans anger over ticket specula-
tors cornering the market. The bogus
tickets are just like the real ones ex-
cept that names of John T. Brush
and John whalen, president and treas
urer OF the Giants, are printed on
them. Facsimile signatures of the
club officials appear on the real tick
cts. Special officers will examine all
tickets and the fans who hold spuri-
Gus pasteboards will be thrown out OF
line TO prevent blockade at the en-
| trance.
Neither Mack nor McGraw would
announce his pitching selection, Tor
| the opening struggle, but Christy
Mathewson and Chief Bender are Al
most sure to do the heavy work
Marouard is McGraw's second choice
and Plank, Mack's.

coats. An ideal day IL promised,
