An Ideal Dny.
II was almost an idea, day. In al!
the history Of worlds series such
weather has not been had. Warm
with 4 bright sun shining. the more
than 10000 fans. containing quite
EprinklinG from New York. enjoyed
every minute OF the two and a half
hours of play.
1t looked for a few minutes as IL the
game would be rs devoid OF features
as that of yesterday. While Bender
failed to show any more speed than in
his first encounter. he was far more
effective. and until the seventh was in
danger only once In the ffth smart
defensive play on the part OF Eddie
Collins suuelched the embryonic rally
ahorn!ng, and nothing serious devel-
oped
Demaree failed at critical moments.
He had good curve ball and a nice
hop on his fast one. but neither his
slow curve nor his fast hop could stop
those slauEhtering. numbering Phila-
delphians SO far they have broken the
defense OF all of McCirnw's hurlers save
only Mathewson. and in the mighty
Matty. who is sure TO go to the mound
hope entertained by 2IcGraw and his
followers. But after Matty-who?
That's the absorbing question. Baker
and Collins play every day, says wag
hut Mathewson plays once in
while. which. il reversed. might make
different story.
Find All But One Vulnerable.
The Mackmen have looked over Mar
guard, Mathewson, Tesreau. Crandall,
and had found all Sir briS
vulnerable. To-day McGraw. following
tho lead of Mack, chose his youngster,
hoping that he might get away with it.
and thus again bring the count to even.
But Demaree failed. In the fourth
inning he was sent to the bench, tears
in his eyes. His arm had weakened.
but his heart showed never a rent.
He worked rs coolly as any of the
veterans. but he was up against an at
lacking force so terrible that he
couldn't withstand It,
Things looked bad from the begin
ming. Eddie Murphy hit the first ball
over far-aield and had Snodgrass
chasing his head off to make the catch.
Following Murphy. Rube Oldring
smashed a slow curve TO tho right
field fence for n triple. A remarkably
close play, when Merkle handled Col
lns's ground ball, throwing to the
plate. saved Demaree from being scored
upon in that opening canto. However.
even though the Athletics failed to
score, their performance gave evidence
of what was to follow. NcGraw came
nearer having his full strength than
in any of the games.
Indeed, lie was shy only Meyers.
Shafer started at third base and Snod-
grass was in centre, with Mcr<le play
ing the Initial bag. However. Snod
grass was chased early In the fray and
Herzog sent to third. Shafer again oc
cupying centre but this had little eff
feet After all is said and done, the
Mackmen have the better team. and
having the better. team. deserve their
victories.
Giants Not yellow.
The lie was given to the oft-heard
statement that the Giants are yellow.
After Demaree had been cruelty pound
ed, and after RUDE Vanguard. who was
sent to his relief in the fifth. had been
knocked for two hits and two runs,
those Giants fought like madmen Not
an inch did they give.
1t was no time for quarter and none
