tags, and of course those with New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut plates bound Polo Groundsward.
Add to these scattering cars from
Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, Michi-
gan, District of Columbia and even
Tennessee and Georgia, all sure
enough here for the game, and 1t can
be seen that baseball has its mani
fold motoring adherents.
When the game ended the sight
was wonderful. The players ran pell-
nell across the field to escape the
human vortex, for down from the
stands swept an army of curious
fans eager to get a closer look at the
rival balltossers. By the watch it
was twenty minutes before the stad-
ium was emptied, yet by automobiles.
surface cars and elevated railroad
trains the multitude departed with
out much inconvenience.
Collins was all smiles when he and
Baker jumped into a taxicab and
were hurried down to their hotel for
dinner before taking the train to
Quakerville. Collins pointed to Baker
and said:
Here's the man who did the bust
ness" and Baker blushed. Bender
just grunted when some fans asked
him how he felt.
When the Giants came out of their
dressing room they were surrounded
by loyal followers, who told them not
to mind the first game, but to go
after the others with renewed energy.
II wish l had pitched the whole
game today" said Tesreau. 81 think
/ could have beaten those fellows
Anyway, l hope McGraw puts me in
tomorrow. 1 am feeling fine and
think l can stop them"
Same here" remarked Demaree,
with grin. Let me at them"
The Giants cream colored uni
forms appeared to be fresh from the
wash. while the Athletics suits were
bit on the Pittsburgh side. Mr..
Mack's laundryman. it seems, held
out last weeks bundle for revenge,
Baker having broken one of his win
dows while practising the hit-and
gallon around bases stuff.
Somebody forgot 10 arm the an
nouncers with megaphones. so when
Charles J. Harvey. from the middle
of the diamond. and Peter Prunty,
facing the centre field bleachers, tried
to make themselves heard the crowd,
which couldn't keep still. caught only
word now and then. The announc-
ers told the fans that the batteries
were Marquard and Meyers for
New York and Bender and Schang
for the Athletics. with Arthur Shafer
playing centre field instead of Snod-
grass.
Complaints OF ticket speculation
appeared less acute this year than
previously. but there still was trouble.
1t became known that in some quar-
ters spectators had obtained lat
least a few patches of tickets which
they offered at $50 for three games,
a new high price record, indicating
that the agents were forced to pay
more than ever to get hold of the
seats.
Bulletins of the progress of the
game were received at the White
House by telegraph for the benefit
of President Wilson and Secretary
Tumulty. At least White House Off
cials said that the arrangement was
made for the Presidents benefit, but
the President went away 10 play
golf before the game was over. Sec
rotary Tumulty left the White House
shortly after the Presidents depar-
ture. and 1t was reported that he
had gone to mingle with the crowd
in front of a newspaper bulletin
board. finding the White House bull
etin service less interesting.
The Athletics have now faced Mar
GUARD, Crandall and Tesreau. This
leaves Steamer Az Demaree, than
whom few steadier. cooler headed
men are pitching bah today. Unless
Demaree proves too much of
'hot weather" pitcher to do well in
the cool October airs. he is looked
to by not a few close observers of
baseball form to stand a good chance
of proving one of the bright stars
of the series. Then there is Mathew
son to be heard from.
Secretary Foster. of the Giants,
subpoenaed by District Attorney
Whitman for an alleged statement TO
the effect that employees of the dis
trict attorneys office were selling
their worlds series tickets to specu-
lators. denied having made such a
declaration when seen at the Hotel
Majestic last night. He added
that no one connected with the
Giants. so far as he knew, had
made any such statement.
II don't know where the report
