Thousands in Line All Night.
Last evening another big throng gath
cred at Shibe Park to wait in line all
night for the bleacher gates to open this
morning. 1t was an even larger crowd
than that which waited In the dr1zzling
rain for Wednesdays game. due. perhaps,
to the Improvement in the weather. The
moon was seen last night for the first
time this week and an occasional star was
visible through the thin clouds.
All along the line of waiting fans could
be heard praises of Leslie Bush and pre-
dictions that more of Mack's young pitch
ers would give good account OF them
selves before the series ended. Many of
the athletic adherents believed that Shaw
key would be the pitching choice of the
White Elephants manager and inquired
that he would be equally as puzzlfng to
the Giant batters as was Bush yester-
day. Bender, however, was anxious TO go
in, and there was a strong possibility that
his wish might be gratif1ed.
The Athletics have now faced the pitch
ing of Mathewson, Marquard. Crandall
and TeSreau, three of whom are the New
York regular twirling staff while the
Giants have batted against Bender, Plank
and Bush. Each of the Philadelphia pitch
ers finished his game without assistance,
but of the New York moundsmen only
Mathewson, winner of the wonderful ten
inning victory against Plank. completed
game. Manager Mack has Shawkey and
Brown in reserve, while Manager Nc
has given any intimation who would be
used. Mack said that he was mot wor-
rying bit about pitchers"
81 Told You So," Says MACK.
The result of yesterdays game bore
out my claim that we had young pitch
ers who could be compared to any on the
Giants staff said the Athletic mana
ger. "Of course, club that is equipped
with hitters does not have to depend Oil
good pitching to win. Mathewson twirled
a wonderful game against us, but do
not think one pitcher can WIN world S
series. The other pitchers in our young
er set are just as eager to show in the
series. Bush was actually disappointed
because he. had a three-run lead wnen he
went in the box yesterday. Any one
could win this kinu OF game, he said.
That's the kind OF material 1 have on
the pitching staff. It's all 1 can do To
keep them on the bench.

Marquard Anxious to Pitch.
1t was believed by many that Man
ager McGraw would depend upon
steamer Az Demaree to lead his team
to victory, although Marquard, who
was taken out of the game after pitch
ing five innings In the opening contest
in New York, was said TO be anxious
to redeem hlmselI and may be given
an opportunity.

As result OF. the overcrowding of
the roofs or residences bordering l5nibe
Park on two sides while Wednesday's
game was on. the chief of the bureau
OF building inspection served notice on
the property owners, warning stsaem
that sucn crowding was dangeruus and
that the owners would be held strictly
responsible for any accident that
might occur. 1t is not believed, however.
