BY J. w. McConaughy.

n T EW YORK, Oct with TWEEN
v ty thousand of the loyal pubic
in line. thousands of whom
had been up all night, the gates at
the Polo Grounds were thrown open
to-day for the first battle of the short
series between the great Athletics and
the three time champion Giants for
the worlds baseball championship
and the winners end of the gate re-
ceipts.
1t looked like a 10000 crowd.
The general impression was that
MatheWson, the marvellous, and the
famous Big Chief" Bender would
meet for the second time in the open
ing battle Of the championship cam
paign. Neither McGraw nor Connie
Mack committed himself on the point,
and therg was nothing to indicate
that they knew themselves.
Mathewson Says No Rain.
The overhead conditions were not
altogether all that could be desired
by those of the loyal public who were
in a fair way to overcome the obsta-
cles devised by the management and
make their way into the park. The
stay was neither one thing nor the
other-like a young mustache-but
the Weather Boss had given us his
word of honor that there was no like
lihood of any precipitation.
Thousands of tickets found their
way into spectators hands.
At a late hour to-day the ticket
scandal was doing much to promote
the general gayety of the city Groups
of maddened fragments of the Loyal
Public-many of whom had mailed
checks weeks ago-were dashing fe-
verishly from one Spectator to an
other, begging for tickets at any
price. They didn't get them at any
price.
$50 For Set of Three Tickets.
The price was $50 a set of three,
one for each game. You paid that or
didn't go-just as you elected. There
was no Compulsion.
There was also some betting here
and elsewhere. Along Broadway the
odds were at about even money, with
number of freak bets on single
games, for which you made up the
odds as you went along. Many a
misguided enthusiast offered odds on
the Giants but his offers were
grabbed so eagerly that this species
of alteration soon disappeared

Giants and Phillies
Break Atlanta Record
FOrFaStest Ball Game

NEW YORK. oct THE Giants
set a worlds record here yesterday
afternoon when they completed a
nine-inning exhibition game with the
Phillies in 81 minutes. The previous
record was 80 minutes, held by the

The final score between the Phillies
and Giants was 4 to 1. McGraw and
Doom both hustled their men along
and no time was lost, Chalmers.
Wiltse and Hearne did the hurting.
Several fielding stunts were held
before the game. In the hundred
yard dash Lobert beat Thorpe in IS
seconds. The fungo hitting contest
went to Thorpe with rap of Ala feet
and Lobert took the dash around the
bases in Is seconds.

My own impression Is as stated, to
the effect that McGillicuddy has 2

Bender has been to some extent q

They who have told YOU that the
Athletic twirling staff is inferior to
the Giants are under a cloud. The
Indian is taking his little workout
every day; he has developed a fall

This is one reason the Athletics are
as strong as in 1911. Another is that
Plank will outpitCh Marquard. You
ask why. MY answer is that Plank
either has been stalling or else Ira
Thomas was kidding me. Thomas
says Plank has everything now that
he exhibited in early season, and he
was unbeatable then.
The Giants have one advantage
over the cubs. who were trimmed by
Mack. According to Frank Chance.
they have had a rest, The Cubs
bucked Connie Mack with all the
pitchers and most OF the players tired

The prime point is that the Athlet-
les should. by all tokens. outhit the
Giants. and the point Of this story is
to emphasize that Bender and Plank

n Jew YORK, oct. There is an
" old. old saying that the thir /
time 10 the charm. John J. Me-
Graw and his New York Giants are
about To put that ancient claim to a
severe test
When they form their fighting front
at the Polo Grounds this afternoon,
1t will be their third chance to win
worlds championship, and the bulk
Of the money that goes with the title.
Mighty few ball clubs have been so
favored in the history of the game,
and If the Giants fall for the third
time. they can have no excuses.
Two years ago they were fairly
beaten after a gallant fight and la st
year they slipped on a luke Should
some queer twist of fortune again
knock them ont OF the victory this
season. they will go down to baseball
memory as at once the luCkiest and
unluckiest championship team that
ever faced a foe-luCky in that they
got So many cracks at the big plum
Of the game, and unlucky in that
they were unable to seize it,
Matty to Pitch Opener.
Christy Mathewson will probably
be McGraw's choice TO pitch the open

battle. and he won on each occasion.
Then MCGIaw switched to young
star who had risen oyerseason, only
to meet defeat
With Big Six now in great con
dition. il is doubtful if MCGraw will
again trifie with his luck. The open
ing punch is ever an advantage. and
so the great Matty will likely open
hostilities to-day
After him. in Philadelphia, will
probably come RUDE Marquard. once

veteran himself. with several Cruel
ing campaigns behind him and with
a knowledge of pitching almost equal
to the Old Master After Marquard
who? Tesreau? Possibly. Dem
aree? Perhaps. Only McGraw knows
the real answer.
1t seems to be- the consensus Of
opinion that the Giants have the
greatest pitching STAFF in baseball just
now, and many believe that the series
will therefore be a case OF a rather
weak hitting team and good pitchers
against a smuggling aggregation
massed behind comparatively weak
pitching.
II IL upublIul, however. II MACK =
moundmen are as weak as reported.
Chic Bender and Eddie Plank can go
almost as far on what they know as
most pitchers can on what they have
got. and Il will be no surprise If both
these veterans turn in wonderfully
pitched games.
Giants Almost Intact.
The lineup of the Giants will differ
in one or two respects from the bat
tie array of other years. but in the
main il will be the same team that
fought and lost the championship Sc
res in 1911 and 1912.

same time one Of the unluckiest, ball

was in 1911 or 1912. He is regarded
by many fans as the class of the
National League short helders. and il
is doubtful if Barry will outplay him
rs he did in 1911, or as Wagner did
in 1912.
McGraw's outf1eld will be the same
to-day as it was in the two pre-
vious battles, with one exception, and
very important exception, at that.
In left field this year will be George
Burns, instead OF Josh Devore, and
Burns is far and away the greatest
young outfielder that has been dis
played in the National League in sew
eral years.
Burns a Rising Star.
A wonderful fielder with a remark
able pair of hands, and a steady. con-
sistent hitter. Burns is. moreover,
astonishingly cool and collected for
a young ball player.
On the run of the sea son he is I'M
questiOnably a better man than De-
wore, but there is no denying that
little Josh was great lad in a Sc
ries such as this. He was at once
brilliant and lucky
Burns is entering his first Worlds
Series, and the Giant admirers look
for him to distinguish himself in
more ways than one. Certainly there
is little ground for apprehension that
he will be nervous, for George is not
built that way.
Jack Murray, who was something
of goat in 1911. bobbed up as one
of the shining lights of 1912, and it is
quite likely that the ed-headed pa
trolman Of right field will again be
one OF the strongest factors of the
Giant offense and defense because he
is hitting more consistently than ever
and fielding in brilliant form.
Snodgrass. the third member Of the
Giant outfield, has had a lot of hard
luck in these critical contests. but
this season he is not only a much i'm
proved ball player, but he is certain
to be steadier in every respect.
