New York, Oct. 25.-Splendid
weather conditions marked the open
ing of the day for the fifth game OF
the worlds series between the Giants
and Athletics. 4 bright sun was
SHINING and there was not a cloud
In the sky. Sufficient wind was blow
ing across the folo Grounds to dry
out the held and insure fast play
wnen the game is called at o'clock.
reports from Polo Grounds early
were that the playing field would be
in good shape for this afternoons
contest. A large force Of men had
been engaged on the diamond and
outheld ever since tie rain had
stopped and had worked wonders in
putting it into shape. A bright sun,
prisk wind and the work Of the
ground keepers had dried the grounds
so that last baseball was assured.
Long before the gates were opened
this morning, there was fair sized
crowd outside the bleacher entrances,
though not nearly so large as on pre-
vious days. New York enthusiasm
had wandered to almost nothing as
result of the three straight vic
tories OF the Athletics, and the early
prospects were against record
breaking crowd. The cool weather,
too, was responsible in large meas
ure for keeping away the early
throngs.
Early indications we're that Eddie
Plank would be the twirler selected
by Manager Mack to do the mound
| work for the Athletics.
Most fans believed that Rube Mar
guard would be Manager McGraws
selection today, though there was a
| decided possibility that Red Ames
might be given a chance to see if he
could stem the slaughter.

Marquard got little cheer as he
went to the mound but it bore none
Of the earmarks Of an ovation, and
the quiet grew ominous as Lord drew
three and two. The stiffness was
cracked wide open however when De-

one out of his shoestrings sliding on
his ear, and then arising with the

RUNS. No Hits No errors.
Devore grounded out, Barry TO Da-

of third, and Snodgrass got gener-
Gus round of applause when he step
ped to the plate, testimonial to the
effect that the New York fans did not
hold him guilty of deliberately spik-
ing Baker. His best effort, however,
was to ground out, Baker to Davis.
NO RUNS. No hits. No errors.
Second Inning.
A round Of applause swept the
entire stadium as Baker, the brilliant
star OF the Philadelphia team, faced
Marqrard, and a roar went up when
Baker famed Intellectually at three
of the Rube's choicest twisters. 1t
was remembered, however that a
strkeout was Bakers opening yes
terday, when his later efforts brought
disaster to the Giants. Murphy
knocked the first single Of the game,
a short drive to left. The fans
thought Marquard's s quick throw to

otherwise there was disapproving
