caused MCGraW to Jump up ana down
with rage and disappointment.
Collins, however. had no monopoly
on the heros glory, for John Frank
lin Baker and chief Bender did yoe-
man work that entitled them to recog-
milton.
Bakers Long IIOmc-rtin.
Baker made history repeat itself
when he drove home-run hit into
the grand stand back OF right field
scoring Collins from second ahead OF
him The situation and hits were
much the same as in the second game
Of the 1911 series, when Baker lift
ed the ball over the fence on a Mar
guard offering and paved the way for
an Athletic victory.
To Bender goes the credit for ont
pitching both Marquard and CarndalI
ana showing skin and nerve in sew
cral trying plays, when The Giants ap-
pcared about to break through his de-
livery and take the lead. The tail
Indian had both speed and a break
on his bali and frightened up when hits
meant runs in a manner that fully
meritcd Connie MaclEs confidence.
BY outlasting both Marquard and
CIandall he gave the Athletics the
edge on tomorrow's game since Me
Graw must use either MatheWson or
Dcmarce or come back with Tesrcau,
While the leader of the Athletics has
Plank, Shawkey and Brown all avail
Ghle for the first game at Shibc park.
While the game, considered as a
whole. seldom touched the high spots
cf plays the scenes incidental to the
gathering Of the spectators were
worthy Of reproduction by the brush
OF a great artist.
Mass of Humanity.
From daylight on, all New York
appeared to he migrating to Harlem
and the crowds focused upon the Polo
Grounds until ! o'clock every seat
! mad been sold and still the waves Of
fans beat upon the fences and en-
trance of the park until the manage
ment was Obliged to call UPON the city
authorities for help in holding the
disappointed thousands in check once
the gates rolled back. the stands took
on a scene Of animation that was
startling, so quick was the transforma-
ton from tiers Of wooden seats to
rows Of bobbing humanity. The spec
tators poured into the various stands
and bleachers in steady streams, roll
ing in from dozens OF entrances in
long, black lines that grew in volume
as the hands Of the great clock over
the bleachers crept around toward the
hour when the umpire should call that
magic signal play ball"
Long before noon the lower sections
Of the grand stands were filled and
the vast stretches of bleachers bore
testimony to the popularity of base
| ball. As the noon hour struck, the
! last of the 81 seats was sold and be-
fore another sixty miutes had passed,
lsanding room alone remained. An
| hour or so before the game began, thu
| little gate in the center field fence
opened and the Giants and Athletics
trippcd forth to the accompaniment
Of burst Of cheering that could be
heard for blocks There was little
ceremony in this entrance of the ac-
tors Of the day and soon the Athletics
were in the midst of batting practice.
Photographers scurried about the field
like flocks Of blackbirds, Swapping"
players singly and in groups In the
upper stands the holders Of the SO re-
served coupons filed in gradually and
filled the entire horse shoe Of the
thousands Of seats, while flags and
pcnnants tapped in the northeast
breeze and q leaden gray sky enclosed
the park and its waiting thousands.
In marked contrast to the scenes OF
previous years the great gathering was
noticeable undemonstrative The Ath-
letics appeared to have almost as
many supporters present as the
Giants and their appearance and bril-
liant play elected much applause. The
same conditions prevailed all through
the game. The cowbells and horns OF
former years were not in evidence and
the taunts of rabid fans were few and
far between. The game was witnessed
ard appreciated in q sane manner and
winner and loser alike redped the just
reward Of their efforts.
The Play by Play.
Eddie Murphy. playing in his first
worlds series, faced Marquard when
Umpire KLEIN called play ball The
left handler pitched, following Math-
owsons scheme of growing the first
ball, let go a pitch that Murphy
caught on the end Of his bat and sent
il out to Murray Sor an easy catch.
Oldring started the Athletics root
crs" shouting when he slashed
single to, right field. Marquard. be-
lieving Oldring would try to steal sec
und. kept him close to the pan and
finally by a lightning throw caught
the Philadelphia base runner mapping.
Merl<le making the out.
Oldring protested against Umpire
Egans decision but II availed him
nothing. on the next ball pitched
Collins shot a clean base hit to center
but he was left at first when Baker
flied out to Burns.
