an occasion for the fans to do a little

the pitcher doesn't seem to under
stand the catcher.
Plank's start Is more suspicious
than Matty's, and Eddie retires Her
zog, Doyle and Fletcher in order.
He hasn't the speed he had on
Wednesday however, and he is a
little wild besides. He has a run to
bank on, and even that much en-
couragement is something in a big
game like this.

Oldring, a moment later, scored

Strunk ended the inning by getting
out, Doyle to Merkle. There is two
runs in the Athletics side of the
house. and it looks bad for the
Giants.
The cheering for Mathewson was
tremendous when the "old master
came to the bat for the first time in
the third inning. Although being hit
freely, he has lost none of his pop
ularity, as one fan said, "Matty can't
do it all the time" He went out on
a grounder Barry to McInnis, ending
the inning.
Plank is remembered when he comes
to the bat in the fourth inning. He
is cheered to the echo by his Phila-

fly, which retired the side. Matty
