POLO GROUNDS, New York,
Oct. 6.-Having tested each others
strength in the first game, the
Yankees and Giants this afternoon
sailed into the world series in earn
est.
Both Teams Out for Blood.
Huggins team, with one victory
safely tucked away in the bat nag,
was out to hurl it's strongest charge
of INT at the men of McGraw. and
the Giants were determined to even
UP the series.
Victory in the initial clash has
>placed q decided advantage on the
side Of the Hugmen. They can gam
BILE now, and should Miller Huggins
strategy succeed again they will be
as hard to stop as a transcontinentai
express train.
The fact that Phil Douglas held
the heavy hitters of the yanks in
check yesterday does not mean that
any Of the other Giant pitchers can do
II, and the Yanks hope to demonstrate
how deadly their batting can be.
McGraw today said his team seldom
plays its best ball on the first day
after q lay-off. The Giants are prlmed
for today's game, ne said. and would
demonstrate 1t in victory.
While Artie Nehf and Waite Hoyt
were expected to be the pitchers, there
was no certainty that the rival mana
kers would not do some experimenting
with their slabmen and cross up the
wise birds.
Yanl1s Act As Hosts.
The Yanls were the home team to-
day. The Giants. the eager, hungry
visitors. They had fine day for 1t.
A bright warm sun smiled down on
the broad, green stretches Of the Polo
Grounds and the early comers were
glad of 1t, for around the edges were
unmistak cable evidence that summer
q is no more. The breeze had kick in
Il.
AS on the first day. the crowd was
slow to arrive. Only the bleacher bugs
came early and there were compare
lively few of them on hand during
the early hours of the morning before
the gates were opened.
At II 80 o'clock the bleachers were
half filled and the choicer $3.50 sea Is
in the upper grand stand held a gen.
erous sprlnkling OF fans.
The positions of the umpires for
today's game:
Morarity behind the plate; Rigler at
third base: Chill at second base: Quig-
ley at first base.
The Yankees arrived on the field at
1887 O'Clock. They wore white uni.
forms and walked solemnly to the
home bench, which was occupied by
the Giants yesterday.

1902. Like his father, he became a
distinguished leader of the bar, and as
a writer he, possessed ability Of an
exceedingly high order. His poem,
'Flora MeFlimsey, or Nothing to
Wear" was published iR 1857, and all
critics have united in nronouncing It

written in the United States. It ex-
cited widespread interest in England,

Oh! ladies, dear ladies, the next time
you meet,
Please trundle your hoops just outside
Regent street,
From it's whirl and its hustle, its
fashion and pride,
And the temples of trade which tower
on each side,
To the alleys and lanes where misfor-
tune and guilt
Their children have gathered, their
city have built;
Where hunger and vice, like twin
beasts Of prey,
Have haunted their victims to gloom
and despair;
Raise. the rich, dainty dress, and the
fine 'broidered skirt,
Pick your delicate way through the
dampness and dirt,
Grope through the dark. dens, climb
the rickety stair
TO the garret, where wretches, the
young and the old,
Half-starved and half-paked, lie
crouched from the cold,
See those skeleton limbs, those frost,
bitten feet,
Ali bleeding and bruised by the stones
of the street;
Hear the sharp cry of childhood, the
deep groans that swell
From the poor dying creature who
writhes on the floor;
Hear the curses That's sound like the
echoes of hell,
AS you sicken and shudder and fly
from the door!
The home of your wardrobes, and say
if you dare
Splendid children of Fashion-you've
nothing to wear!
And oh! if perchance there should be
a sphere,
Where all is made right, which sc
puzzles US here,
Where the glare and the glitter, and
tinsel Of time
Fade and die in the light Of that re-
gion sublime,
Where the soul, disenchanted of flesh
and sense,
Unscreened by it's trappings, ane
show, and 'pretence,
Must be clothed for the life and the
service above
With purity, iitsuth, faith, meekness
and loves
Oh! daughters Of earth! foolish Vir
gins, beware!
Lest in that upper realm you haVf
