Davis does not rank with Mclnnis as

McInnis' injury. and he has shown

Men Get Good Rest.
McInnis' wrist is so sore that ne
can not throw the ball from first base
TO the pitcher and II Is doubtful If he
can be used even as pinch hitter.
Manager Mack and McGraw We're
late risers this morning. They went
to bed late last night, Mack smiling
and confident; McGraw serious and
apparently with the belief that his
Giants will have a hard battle. The
Athletic players observed the old
early to bed, early to rise" rule and
all We're up bright and early and took
walks. The Giants will meet this
forenoon at the Polo grounds for a
final rehearsal of signals and plays.
Both teams will use the entirely new
signals in the series, and each prob
ably has two or three extra sets In
reserve. Scouts from each team has
watched it's final play the past three
weeks, McGraw to make doubly sure
against leak, did not give the Giants
their signals until yesterdays secret
practice. n
There Will be little more betting,
unless there is break just before the
game starts. Long odds will be Of
fered on the winner of the first game.
Giant supporters have hedged on Civ
ing odds. Athletic fans have been
holding off for at least ten to nine.
The crowds at the Polo grounds be-
gan to gather before midnight last
night. Women as deep dyed in the
wool fans as the men, were among
those in line waiting for the gates TO
Open 1t is estimated that 10000 fans
clamored for admittanoe and II re-
qured heroic duty OF the police re-
serves to preserve order. Fights for
advantageous positions In the line
were numerous, but withal 1t was n
good -natured crowd. Those in line
early had brought camp stools and
boxes to rest on during the long
hours before dawn. The streets are
strewn with empty lunch boxes and
carly arrivals having brought their
yictuals with them
When the last ticket had been sold
fully 5000 disappointed fans We're
still in line but Will be unable to Sc
cure admittance. They hung around,
hoping against fate that they would
get inside the enclosure.
After the sale of tickets had ended
the police gradually forced the crowds
back from the gates and formed q
dead line. No one without the neces-
ssry pasteboard admission or other
credentials. was allowed TO pass over
it,
Flood of Bogus Tickets.
A flood of bogus tickets added to
the fans anger over ticket specula tors
oornering the market. The bogus
tickets are just like the real ones ex-
cept that the names OF John II. Brush
and John Whalen, president and trea-
surer Of the Giants, are printed on
them. Fac slmile signatures Of the
clubs officials appear on the real tick
cts. Special officers viii examine all
tickets and the fans who hold spurious

Neither Mack nor McGraw would
anounce his pitching selection for the
opening struggle, but Christy Math-
ewson and Chief Bender are almost
sure to do this, heavy work, Marquard

Mack's.
