That was the remark of one ardent fan
who stood in the throng of hundreds OF
other fans and "fannettes'' before The
Star building this afternoon and watched
the board record every play In the first
game of the great series.
Long before the game was called and
long before the little lights on the board

how the two teams were progressing q

before this time-in fact, from early

forces had everything planned
down to the smallest detail.
There appears to be thorough
understanding between the play
[ers.
Before the game John Nc
Graw, manager of the Giants, was
presented with a silver service
from Manager Frank Chance and
his players. Edward E. Mccall,
mayoralty nominee, made the pre-
sentation.
Marquard Gets 'sRiled."
The question as to who would pitch
was left in doubt until the last moment.
McGraw warmed up both Marquard and
Mathewson, While Bender and Plank
warmed up for Mack. Marquard was
Superstitious about having his picture
taken and when some camera men tried
rapher. cracking him on the shins. He
was not bothered thereafter.
Umpire KLEIN was behind the bat with
Egan on the bases. Connolly and Rigler
were In the outfield.
Though McGraw selected Marquard to
face the Athletics. Mack did not make a
change in his lineup, sending Strunk. q
lefthanded hitter, to center. Chief Bender
warmed up well before the game, and It
did not take Mack long to decide to use
him In preference to Plank.
oldring Mapping.
Oldring undoubtedly prevented his team
from getting a run in the very opening
inning. when. after one was out, he sin
gled to right. then allowed Marquard to
catch him mapping on this bag. This bit
Of stupidity was followed by a sharp sin
gle by Collins. on which Oldring would
have easily taken third had he been on
first, and 1t would have been possible for
him to score on Bakers long fly to left,
which ended the inning. Oldring made
quite q protest, but he was far in the
wrong, being several feet on the bag.
That they Will have to pay some at
tention to Sche.ng was demonstrated In
their half Of the iirst inning when FIetch-
or, who had singled with two out at

to Burns. Though Schang got the ball

Daube1t Gets Auto.

Daubert Gets Auto.
Jake Daubert, who with Wal
ter Johnson won the Chalmers
trophy, was presented with the
new automobile before the game,
McGraw and his players congrat-
ulated the Brooklyn star after
Hugh Chalmers had made a brief
presentation speech, and Daubert
drove the car around the field
amid the cheers of the throng.
There will be a similar ceremony
at Philadelphia tomorrow, with
Walter Johnson as the recipient
of the automobile.
The Athletics thrust fear into
the hearts of the New York fans
by their terrific batting power
during their practice. Baker and
Collins amused themselves by
driving the ball into the right
field seats, while Oldring and
McInnis found as much pleasure
hitting into the stands in left.
These drives attracted the atten-
ton of McGraw and his players
and caused the Giants followers
to moan.
Line-Up Changed.
The injury to Snodgrass forced
McGraw to make some changes
in his lineup. Doyle was far from
being at his best, but McGraw was
forced to use him at second. 1t
seems to be the general expression
that the Giants captain will not
be able to go through more than
a game or two. McGraw did
most of the pitching to his play
ers in practice, relying princi-
pally on slow curve to puzzle
them.
The duty of hitting to the in
field and outfeld was assigned to
Harry Davis and Danny Murphy,
Mack's two lieutenants. It was
very evident that the Mack

| the first time up.
Both Marquard and Bender worked
cautiously it requiring over half an hour
to play less than two and a half innings.
Giants Break the Ice.
The Giants broke the ioe in the third.
Doyle scoring Merkle from second with a
well placed single to left. Merkie had
opened the inning with slow roller to
Barry. who temporarily juggied II. and
Merkle beat his throw to first MarQuard
sacrificed him to second. and after shafer
had flied out to center Doyle poled a
single to right. Fletcher's ny to Mur-
ply ended the round.
The remarkable hitting powers OF the
Athletics came into evidence in the
fourth. when Marquard was unmerci-
fully pounded and three runs were scored
by the Athletics. 1t was Collins who
started the rally. when he stuck a triple
into right center and scored when Baker
sent hot roller to Doyle's left. which
the latter could not handle. McInnis
moved Baker up with a sacrifice but
Strunk's grounder to Marquard forced
the home-run hero at third. Barry. who
is seldom wanting in the pinch, hit to
left for two bases, sending Strunk to
third. Then that young man Schang
put his name on the honor roll by send
ing liner to center, which scored two
runs and put him on third. Shafer
played the ball very poorly, making a
futile effort to stab IL with one hand
after having misjudged It badly.

with q double to left, rally seemed to

In the bud. Herzog's grounder to him re-

CHAPTER ~.

Durham listened as long as his ear
could catch the sound, then a strange
desolation settled down upon him.
The little station behind him was
closed, though a light over the desk
shone brightly through its front win
dow and the telegraph sounder was
clicking busily.
Turning impatiently from the dark
ness, Durham sought the bright win
dow, in front of which lay a newspa-
per. He could read the large headlines
OF a Column-no more, for the paper
was upside down, and bunch of bill
heads lay partly across it. 1t read:

His heart stood still, and then went
thudding on in dull, horrid blows.
Vainly he tried to read further He
followed every visible word of that pa
per to discover its date and origin,
but those miserable bill-heads frus-
trated his effort. He felt like dashing

but all to no purpose. Finally he turned
on his heel and walked up and down
for an hour, tramping the length Of the
shaky platform, back and forth, till
the train rumbled up.
