Both Fletcher and Shafer prac-
tised at short for New York, but
Fletcher seemed to be doing the bur
den of the work, and McGraw put
him at his old stand.
Marquard started to warm up Ian

out.
The enthusiasm was intense as
Marquard and Meyers were named
for New York. and then the mega

The W worlds series games this
year have set new total records. AL
though the attendance at the first
game in New York this year fell
5000 short of the figures for last
years opening game in the same city,
the total for the two games of the
present series is 1,311 greater than for
last years first two contests. Last
year 81, 567 persons saw the first two
games; this year 65,s7S have paid to
see the corresponding contests. The
difference is made up entirely from
the greatly increased number of per-
sons who saw yesterdays game in
this city, 30, Jas, over that which at
tended the second game of the series
in Philadelphia last year, 26, 2s6.
New York Fans Confident.
Random of New York city were
greatly disappointed in the playing
of today's game at Boston. as plans
had been laid for a royal welcome to
the Giants and a stupendous crowd
was ready to rush the portals Of
Brush Stadium.
Confidence in their favorites has re-
turned TO the loyal rooters Of the
National League champions. and they
are now certain that the title will rest
on the head of McGraw's team.
With the ending of yesterdays game
in the struggle for the worlds cham
pionship in a tie score. the fact that
the players receive no share in the
receipts again comes before the pub
lie, and Christy Mathewson declared
hat the ruling of the National Com
mission on the point was very unfair.
M~athewson insinuates, or rather
threatens, that If the players share
is curtailed in future games the Ma
tional Commission will find itself left

II will not go so far as to say there

when Garry Hermann. chairman
of the National Commission, called

Yesterday after the latter had called
the game on account of darkness and
announced that the Giants would have

The vanguard of the secondary
crowd here was about 5000 strong
at IL O'Clock when the gates wert
thrown open. Boston has a reputa-
ton for having the best fans in the
land, and they have lived up TO
their reputation by their good order.
NJ Fear Of s%outhpaws.
There were many arguments be-
fore the game about how the Red
Sox would feed on MarQuard's off :

times during the season. Iris
Speaker in particular bats as vic
iously against southpaws as the
right-handers, as he averaged over
800 in his batting against Gregg this
season.
A number of the Giants say the
Sox are better hitters than the Ath-
%letics, out McGraw has fired his team
with the grit and enthusiasm only a
successful leader car instill into his
team.
O'Brien, Stah.'s most probable can
didate, has not had Marquard's eX-
~perience in the big show, but has a
brilliant record. He is a right
handler. Marquard declared before
the game that he never felt or looked
better.
Devore was the first man to face
O'Brien and the game was on.
