the Cincinnati club arrived on the
grounds carrying their own ice. water
and towels. They had heard that an
attempt would be made to dope the
players and no chances were taken,
Henry Fabian. the groundkeeper, was
turned down cold when he appeared on
the scene with cake of ice on his
back.
He was highly indignant when his
frozen Offering was spurned and when
the Cincinnati trainer asked for the
loan of an icepick, Henry cut him
dead. lie said there might be prussic
acid on the tongs.
MCGraw was given big ovation
when he appeared OH the field, the
cheering continuing for almost five min =

received. but when Pat Moran and his
athletes went out for fielding practice,

nine victories against eight defeats in
the same length of time.
Before the game was called, the at

arrive late in New York. Manager Nc
Graw was jinxed early in the afternoon
when Louis Mann, the eminent actor,
spoke to him and wished him luck.
Louie hasn't picked a winner in his
life.
Frank Mackin, the mad halter of
Philadelphia, congratulated Moran and
was thanked by the silver topped leader
Moran sent message to the Philadel-
phia fans.
Tell them I will do the best can"
he said, land / expect to get better
than an even break. / also want to
thank the fans of Philadelphia for TAX
