D PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.-Snod-
- grass limped slightly as he walked
to the plate to open the game.
Bender, who had warmed up well,
lost NO time in getting into action. The
New York center fielder raised high
foul. which Baker gathered in without
effort. Captain Larry Doyle sent up
q long high fly TO Strunk Fletcher
ended the inning by grounding to Bar
~, who threw him out at first.
Demaree, in spite Of the fact that
he was starting in to pitch his first
nervous. He was cheered by the big
New York contingent. Murphy lifted
the second pitched ball to deep right
center. and was out as Snodgrass made
a fine catch despite his limp. Reuben
Oldring, who has hit safely the first
time up In all the present world g se-
ries games, sent terrific drive down
the right field foul line for three bases.
Tt looked like a sure run for the Ath-
lletios, with their heavy artillery com
ing up and the New York infield gath
cred about the youthful pitcher and en-
couraged him Eddie Collins chopped a
grounder down to MerkIe, who scooped
up the ball and made lightning throw
to Mclean to catch the flying Oldrng.
Collins Steals Second.
The play at the plate was close and
Umpire Egan called Oldring out, at
which the latter protested vigorously.
Then came daring play which upset
the New York infield for a moment.
While Demaree was watching. Mclean
signalling for the next ball, Collins
made dash for second base. The
young pitcher. instead of throwing to
second, shot the ball to Merkle, who
made quick throw to the middle bag,
but Collins easily slid into the base for
a steal, Collins was left stranded at
second, however, as Baker raised high
foul to Shafer. Demaree was given o
vigorous hand by the supporters of the
Giants for holding the Athletics run
less in the inning.
Burns aopened the second inning for
the National leaguers by flying out

Marquard Goes In.

Meanwhile Marquard and Arthur Will
son had been industriously warming up
Giant battery at the opening of the Mack
mems end of the fifth. Baker was the
first man to face Rube, and the long side
win1er carefully weighed the man who
has twice broken up worlds series games
on him before he pitched, Then he
famed the slugging Marylapder and fol-
lowed this by tossing out McInnes on a
roller to the box.
He passed StrunlS, however and passes
generally seem fatal to the Giants Barry

put Strunk on third. SchanC, "jInx' Of

Demaree's Mistake.

Demaree got in bad at the start by
giving Rube Oldring a high fast ball
when he should have worked him on a
slow one a curve. Oldring picked
one for three bases. Oldring was nailed
at the plate on Colins's tap, luckily,
and the decision was close. Egan had
the say and the National league players
do not think great deal OF his umpir-
Ing. Collins then stole. and 7 only men

The Athletics were lucky to score their

Shafer would have got that. Snodgrass
asked McGraw to let him play before the
game and he said that his leg was all
sent him In. Well, you saw that Snod-
grass could not run fast enough to get
under the lift and that probably lost us
the game.

Schang a Hero.

Schang has been one of the heroes OF
this classic. He was pretty much the
whole show today. Philadelphia must
thank him for five Of the six runs. He
drove In four, two at time, and scored
another. Schang is the exception which
proves the rule that inexperienced men
should not be counted upon too strongly
In contests of such Importance.

Says Breaks Were Bad.

We had enough tough breaks In to-
days game to last a club through a whole
series talf a dozen times at least, after
Bender began to tire, he was saved by
some unexpected turn of fortune. Old
ring took an extra base knock off McCor-
mick In the fifth that smothered several
counts. TWO men were on bases a. the
time. and If the ball had got through
Rube 1t would have come mighty close
to being a triple. anyhow, It strikes me
that play was the turning point OF the
frny. II was a remarkable shoestrlng
catch, but Bender deserved more credit
for IT than did Oldrlng A few seconds
before he had called Oldrng In fifteen or
twenty feet. But for this the play would
have been impossible, and the score would
have been tied at least.
Bender had horseshoes In that eighth
inning. Collins saved his bacon with that
wonderful stop on Doyle. Eddie STUN
bled and fell In fielding the ball. He
could never have recovered in time to
retire Larry, but no was in position for
throw to second and Herzog Was forced

AIS Mysterious Pocket.

AS Demaree started TO pitch to Eddie
Murphy in the first inning, after the
Giants had been hurriedIy retired, the
crowd became Intensely interested In AIS
habit OF showing his right hand IN his
hip pocket before he pitched the ball
and there WAS much speculation as to
the contents of that pocket The eXpla-
na ton Is that Demaree carries lump OF
resin. which he thinks gives his curious
y long and thin fingers a better grip on
the ball.
Denarce is no novice, despite the fact
that this is bis first year IN the big
que. He gathered his experience in
hard schools of the Sticks way down
IN the South Atlantic and the Cotton
States que, and later with Mobile OF the
Southern league. Had he been as big
man as Mathewson or Tesreau he would
probably have been one Of the pitching
narvels OF all time

Are Not TO Blame.

It was the Iuckless Merk1e and Snod-
grass who figured go prominently in the
plays that cost the Giants the champion
ship in 1915, but today they could hardly
be blamed for what happened.
Schang drew walk from Demaree
after Mc1nnes had scored, but Burns got
Benders fly in left.
In the third inning. with one out, Snod-
grass tried to bunt. Why is not known.
Perhaps he did not fully realize the full
extent Of his lameness, He was put out
Bender and Mc1nnes. Yet 1t was bunt
that SnodSrass would easily have beaten
had he been right showing that he must
have underestimated his condition.
In the next inning Shafer appeared In
center and Herzog at third Snodgrass.
it Is said. had begged McGraw to be al
lowed to play, and because he has al
ways been one OF the most willing and
hardest working boys on the club, the
Giant leader lei him go in, hoping that
his lameness might wear Off.
That Big Fourth.
The real disaster to the Giants arrived
in the fourth. after McInnes had gone
out on an easy bounder to Doyle. Strunk
a mighty smash and Barry singled.
Strunk racing around to third ahead OF
Shafer's throw. Parry took second on
this throw and Wallie Schang singled
Shafer threw the ball to the plate and
Schang moved up to second under the
heave, passed ball put him on third;
and he scored when Merkle stumbled
down the foul line after Benders slow
twisting roller that he failed to get. Muir
ply popped TO Doyle. but Oldring singled
70 center. putting the slow Indian on
second Collins pushed a weak roller
In front OF the plate and was thrown out
at first by Mclean.
Another chance came to the Giants in
the fifth and McGraw began moving his
men about like pawns in a desperate ef-
fort TO gather a run. Murray walked
and dashed safely into third when Nc
Lean slammed a fierce grounder just out
Of Collins's reach. Claude Cooper. the
