SHIBE PARKs Philadelphia, October
O.-Whether there will be sew
enth game in the present series will be
decided today. If the Giants win the
series will be a tie and the playing OF
the final game in New York tomorrow
will be necessary.
Today's crowd promises to be as large
as that of Tuesday. although the sale of
tickets did not begin until this morning.
Yesterdays unexpected victory seemed to
give the Giants new hope and McGraw
predicts that his players will show their
best from this out.
Connie Mack was not pleased with yes
terday's showing. He blames his defeat
on the overconfidence of his players
after they. got three-run lead. The
Giants are accompanied by a band, which
is keeping the crowd entertained before
the game.
That Coombs should have been taken
out of yesterdays game is evidenced by
the fact that he is under the care OF
physicians today and there is danger Of
his being forced to retire from the game.
McGraw had intended to work Mar
guard, but at the last moment switched
to Ames. There was no alternative for
Mack, for Bender was the only one Of
the regulars available Connolly is UNI
piring behind the bat and Brennan on
the bases.

Ames started as il he intended to lie
troublesome. He retired Lord on an easy
play at first and then struck out Oldring
and Collins in rapid succession.
Ames' curve ball could not be gagged
by the Athletics, but as he is pitcher

In the second inning HerZog got life

This occurred after Merkle had flied out,
and Bender then struck out Fletcher.
Had il not been for Collins, the Giants
would have again scored in this round.
But his pickup of Meyers grounder over
the bag ended the inning.
Giants Playing Well.
The Giants appear 10 have more life
than their rivals. They are hustling az
they have never before in the series.
Ames is receiving the encouragement of
all his teammates. Murphy made the
Athletics first hit in the second on
line drive over second base. which Doyle
managed to knock down. 1t was great
effort. He reached second on Davis out,
but got no farther.
Athletics Make a Run.
Though Ames opened the third with

responsible for the tying of the score in
