the weather had something to do with
tho depression. The sky had been
masked by clouds from early morning,
and there was q constant hint OF ram.
The field seemed damp and soggy and
the very air was moist
SUN Welcomes Mackmen.
The sun broke out for just moment
as the Athletics appeared IN the gate,
way under the right field bleachers, and
then quickly hid itself again. Inc
custom. Behind the Philadelphia bench
was gathered a party of persons who
were evidently inmates of the Quaker
city, as they woke up very suddenly on
the entrance OF the American league
champions, and made lot of noise with
tin horns and tin voices.
The Msckmen seemed so pleased that
they waved their arms at their sup
norfers before lodging into the coop.
Long Larry Mclean, survivor of the
Cincinnati Reds and the ST. Louis Car
dinals. who broke into world g series
in time to make a real star Of himself,
got a great greeting as he lounged
across the field, but the real outburst
came a moment later when the gate
swung open and Christy Mathewson and
John J. McGraw came in, the latter in
newly laundered uniform of pristine
with the muddied apparel Of the cold
MASTER The crowd clapped and yelled
for five minutes as the pair sauntered
to the Giant bench.
Batting Practice.
Rube Schauer, the $4,000 recruit,
and young Ferdinand Schupp, the slim
southpaw from the Three league, who
may one day be pitching world 's series
games themselves, warmed up In front
Of the stand with Grover Cleveland
Hartley, wnlle the Athletics engaged In
that batting practice that 30 impresses
heavy hittels Of the Philadelphia team
stepped to the plate and slammed the
ball to the far reaches Of the lot, with
young Wickoff lobbying them over.
Theodore Goulait. a Giant recruit,
pitched TO the big-town boys when they
took their batting practice. Charley
Herzog Of the Giants and John Frank
lin Baker, the slugger Of the Mackmen,
fraternized over in front of the Athletic
bench before the game. Herzog and
Baker came from adjoining towns on
the MARYLAND shore, and Herzog gave
the slugger his start in baseball, hiring
him to plav for little team represent
ing the Herzog home town Of Ridgely
some years ago. They are still the best
Of friends.
Connie Mack Shy.
me usual bunch Of photographers
buzzed about the field swapping the
various celebrities who are each pho
tographed 100 times or more during a
series. Occasionally some camera men
would fruitlessly endeavor to lure Con-
ME Mack from the Athletic bench to
get his picture. The lean leader of the
White Elephants does not like the lime
be brought out into the open.
Connie came in in the back way this
afternoon, skipping suddenly down the
grand stand aisle behind the Athletic
bench, but he did not escape unrecog
nized The crowd cheered him as he
leaped down the steps and until he van
ished from view under the bench.
Eddie Plank warmed up with j. Les
lie Bush. the youngster who stopped the
was any doubt about Plank being the
man of Mack's choice. Jack Lapp
caught the veteran sidewinder as he
made ready, with Ira Thomas, well
named the luckiest man in baseball,
standing beside Plank looking on. Over
at the Giant warm-up station Mathew
son warmed up with Arthur Wilson
Murphy First Up.
The clouds were very black over the
Harlem river as the Giants fell into po-
sition and Eddie Murphy trotted to bat
and little drop or two Of rain could
be felt occasionally. Henry Fabian, the
ground keeper Of the Polo grounds, and
his assistants were twisting new bags
