Philadelphia, October 1o.-Iimpinr
along from away behind. the sadly
crippled New York Giants made tho
fourth game Of the worlds series close
this afternoon--but that's alI-they
Just made II close. The final score
was TO 3 in favor OF that smashing
combination of brain and Drawn thew
eau the Philadelphia Athletics, and the
GIANTS had to toll painfully UP from
siN-run disadvantage to draw the
finish that fine
\ fly that poor Fred Snodgrass could
not quite reach because of injury that
had stripped him OF his speed: a foul
that Fred Mcrkle, pathetically lame
could not handle-these were incidents
III the third triumph OF the mighty
Mackmen in the series that is now
drawing to n close: incidents that were
responsible for the one run that the
slugEing Philadelphians needed to tide
them over in the time of a bitter on
slaught Of the Giants against Albert

upon the shoulders of the lean Chippe-

that Is the baseball answer
No support for Dcmnree.
Albert Demarcc. the cartoonist
pitcher of the Giants. and the scnsa
ton of the National League in 1913, a
slender, frail looking lad, with the
pitching wisdom of IN old man stored
away in his head, was sent against the
machine by John J. McGraw, but the
cripples behind him could give the lad
no support. and finally he was succeeded
by Rube Marquard the lean southpaw,
pitching for the second time this
series
Had the Athletic scoring stopped
when Marquard mounted the mound
the final count would have been to 4
In favor OF the Giants, but a pass to
Strunk. after two men were out in the
fifth inning. a slashing double by Black
Jack Barry. and another smash by
Walter Schang. the great kid catcher of
tho White Elephants, gave the Phila-
delphians two more ITALICS and the
game.
Probably no ball club ever entered
night FOR worlds championship as
battered and bruised by accident as
the aggregation OF athletes that
marched on the field at Shibe Park this
afternoon. with john ]. McGraw at
their head. No doubt the little Napo-
leon must have been interested as he
watched his cripples take their places
on the field.
Fred alerkle the man who later put
the Giants in the game with a home
run into the left field bleachers, with
two men on bases. favored the ankle
that he sprained in the first game OF
tho series at every step. Snodgrass
walked stiff-legged. and manifestly

Tries Regular Line-Up.
1t Will be remembered that the only
game so far won b. the Giants was one
behind Chrsty Mathewson. with George
Wiltse. pitcher. playing first, and
Arthur Shafer. an intielder, in centre.
but McGraw tried hard to get back to
his regular lineup to-day. Perhaps
he felt that the other arrangement was
but tempering fate. and that crippled
regulars were better than inexperi-
enced substitutes, so this afternoon he
led off with Snodgrass. the black
haired Californian and returned the
fleet little "Tillie" Shafer to third
With the exception OF tho huge Nc
Lean behind the bat, IL was this line
up that carried the Giant chief through
the season of 1918. Charley Ierzog
sat on the bench--but not for long.
Snodcrass was lifted from the line In
the third. and Shafer sent TO centre.
while Herzos went to third.
AS Albert Demaree went to the warm
up place in front OF the stand to ready
himself for the contest, thousands OF
spectators Grained tn cir necks to get
good look al the pitching marvel OF the
National league Most OF them comment
ed on the queer delivery OF the slender
youngster--that jerky motion which
seems 10 be entirely from the elbow.
and which gives tho impression that
he has perennial sore arm. Many an
old baseball man, watching Demaree,
has said that IL ha happened TO see
the young fellow pitching in minor
