Philadelphia, Oct. lQ-GlOom hung over
the New York players and fans after the
game today. From shibe Park TO North
Philadelphia Station, where they boarded
| trains for New York, there was silence
among them, although a few spoke up
for the great work OF "Rube' Oldring
and "waIly'' Schang.
The Giants did not make the trip TO
New York together. On the first sec

Doc Crandall. Capt Larry Doyle,
Herzog, and Fletcher, Marquard and
Shafer boarded the train which left a

lowed on later sections.

catcher in the world?'' asked a New York
fan Of "Rube" Marquard. The pitcher
merely smiled and the fan answered:
II think he is the sweetest catcher in
either league

him in the seventh. but II was too late"
