BACK TO The
GAME AGAIN
Giants and Athletics Meet To-
day in Fourth Battle Of
Season
MATHEWSON AND
BENDER MAY OPPOSE

After rain had occasioned the long
est postponement ever recorded in
baseball history. the Giants and Ath-
letics are mixing things up again this
afternoon at water-logged Shibe Park.
1t has been so long since the last
game was played that it is almost
necessary to explain that the Giants
and Athletics, having won the PEN
nants in their respective leagues. are
now engaged in fighting it out. the
best four games in seven, for the
baseball championship of the world.
The Athletics have won two games
and the Giants one. This explanation
is offered for the benefit of those who
may have forgotten that back earlier
in the year-seven days earlier TO be
exact-the last game was played in
Gotham and then the teams were
stopped by the twentieth century
flood.
Having spent the interval in in
struction in the amphibian art the
players believe themselves proficient
TO continue the series either as long
distance swimmers or water poloists.
IF the series continues With the same
relative speed. it is probable it would
finish on ice skates about January l.
Christy Mathewsop and Big Chief
Bender are looked upon as the most
likely candidates for pitching honors
this afternoon, though neither Man.
ager McGraw nor Manager Mack
(which isn't his full name at alD
will vouchsafe any information on
this point. Mathewson has had a
week of complete rest, however. and
in practice yesterday showed up with
all his old-time speed and curves.
Rube Marquard or Ames, however
may be selected, though the chances
strongly favor Matty. To win this
game the Giants will be again on
even footing with the Athletics Tt
lose is practically to lose the series
For that reason, it is believed McGrav
will use his heaviest artillery, the ex'
perienced Mathewsou.
Bender who dropped the first game
to the Giants. is wild for revenge, bu
Mack may send him in. though there
still is a possibility that Plank o.
Coombs will be selected. Plank ant
Coombs both have been victorioul
against the Giants, Coombs' work be
ing especially commendable, havinl
allowed but three hits in eleven in
nings.
II is barely possible that Mack vii
decide to permit one of these two Z
try to repeat. rather than take
chance on getting Bender beate
again.
But the early morning prospects. a
said before, we're that Matty an
Bender would start the game
There is considerable speculatio

JOHNS AGAIN
TALK FRANCHISE

The old Johnstown Baseball Asso-
citation, which backed the Tri-State
club in Johnstown few seasons ago
and has since been succeeded by two
other organizations. held a meeting
last Tuesday night for the purpose
Of discussing plans to close up the
affairs Of the organization.
While the members of the board de-
clined to give anything definite for
publication it is known that the meet
ing was called at the request of sew
eral Johnstowners. who, it Is said. are
endeavoring to secure control Of the
local Tri-State franchise as an in
vestment. It was stated that Tri-State
baseball would be retained for Johns
town next year, regardless OF any
settlement that the old association
may arrive at.

DIR. GROVE RETURNS
 FROM TUSCALOOSA
Says It Is Certain That Pipe Line From
 Fayette to That City Will Be Built

Dr. c. B. Grove of the Peoples Nat rral Gas company returned yesterday from Tuscaloosa, where he addressed a mass meeting upon the possibilities of that city securing natural gas. The ,peo- rle of Tuscaloosa have raised a large part of the s5O.OOO with which it is in tended to construct a six-inch pipe line from Fayette to Tuscaloosa
 A committee of Tuscaloosa citizens. composed of Luther Maxwell, c. R. Max we'll, F. w. Monnish, D. L. Rosenau, S. F. Alston, R. H. Little, S. F. Clabaugh and Thomas Garner, visited the gas fields at Fayette and issued call for a mass meeting, at which $17,500 was subscribed by the citizens. The remaining amount necessary for the work will be procured in the next day or two.
 Dr. Grove said yesterday that Tusca- loosa was sure to have natural gas through pipe line and that he was ae- lively at work on additional plans to promote the interests of that city The Fayette gas field is not far from Tusca- loosa and it is figured that the construc- tion of a pipe will not be any great ac- complishment for city as substantial and progressive as Tuscaloosa

That J. O. Thompson, collector of internal revenue at Birming ngham m and one of the referees in this state for federal patronage is yet the strong est of the republicans In Alabama was indicated yesterday when he was an- nounced as the collector here for an- other term of four years.
 The announcement came from Wash ington that MT. Thompson was not to be displaced. Locally the republicans interpreted the appointment as 8 de- cision on the reputed Thompson-B Bar ker split which has grown serious in this state. The retention of MT. Thompson is said to mean that Major Barker of Mobile. the other referee in this state. has met defeat at the hands of MT. Thompson and that Major Barker will no doubt relinquish his position as a federal referee right away
 MT. Thompson has been in Washing ton for several days conferrings with Frank H. Hitchcock. the political ad wiser of President Taft about the diff
