 second on Murray's tumble. He was sent to third by Oldring and he came home on Marquard's wild pitch.
 The fielding honors today were the reverse of those of Saturday, The particular feature was Lords quick lfielding of Snodgrass long hit and his rifle shot throw to second, which caught the fleetfooted center fielder by a double.
 In the ninth Collins made, pretty play in accepting nasty bounler from the side and tossing out Mur- ray ending the game.
 Philadelphia went through the game without miscue while the Giants
 had three errors charged against them. These were made by Devoe. who muffed Berry's long fly, Murray's tumble of Lords smash, and a huff ed fould fly sent up by Lord. Of these only Murray's figured in the runs.
 Collins, whose error on Saturday proved so costly to Philadelphia, played steady game today accept ing his six chances with apparent ease. He had two of the four hits off Marquard. The great pitching of both Marquard and Plank gave the fielders few chances for sensational work.
 Neither team was given much op- portunity to show their speed on the bases. No one stole a base. Merkle, who was on first in the seventh in- ming, made "fake' attempt to go down and took much of a lead off the bag Plank turned instantly Huss by a lightning throw caught the New York first baseman by a yard.
 The crowd that saw the first of the worlds championship games were 500 short of the attendance at the first game for the worlds title play ed here with Chicago last year. It was joyful throng, however, and cheered from the moment the teams |came on the field until Collins tossed |out Murray in the ninth inning.
 The big double deck grand stand was 8 solid jam of people and there was no room in the bIeachers. The |outfield accommodated several thou |sand persons who were kept back by a four foot fence, and on the con crete fence surrounding the park sat solid line of fans who risked their necks 10 see the game. On the roofs of the houses encIrcllng the park other thousands paid fancy pric- es for seats built upon the roofs of the dwellings,
 The grand stand doors we're closed long before the game began. but the bleacher gates were not shut during the game. The few spectators who chanced arrest by selling the few tickets that fell into their han5s sold out their pasteboards at guaranteed prices.
 The crowd was given chance to cheer for the home team early. When the Athletics made their first run in the first inning the crowd rose to it's feet and yelled it's delight, but this was nothing compared with the dem- lonstration when Eaker shot the ball out of the grounds. Hats and cush- ions went into the air and horns. rattes and other noise making in- lstruments raised a 1in that lasted , fer several minutes.
 The Athletic players showed their delight by running out to meet Bak. CT as he crossed the plate. The hero took the demonstration modestiy anC walked over to the players benct and took .lrink of water.
 Connie Mack was all smiles wher The appeared in his office. in Shibs Park after the game. He had play ed another card but not the one tha McGraw expected. and still haE Coombs, the Iron Man" to take III Ithe gage of battle on the Pols Grounds tomorrow.
 The crowd fully expected Macl to trot out Coombs, who won three worlds series games last year Planl was not used in the series with Chi cago in 1910 and there was some mis giving in the crowd when he wen to the slab. The man on the Ney
 York team who received the heart
