Polo Grounds. New York, Oct. L
Murk and mist lay cupped in the dark
hoilows of the Polo grounds this af-
tcrnoon when the Yankees met the
Giants in the fourth game of the
world series while old man Gloom sat
in the club house of the Yankees,
who were reeling under two blows
on the button from the aggressive
National league champions.
The American leaGuers were the
home folks today and gave funeral
welcome to the Giants, who plan to
make it four straight over their hap
less foemen and capture the crown
of baseball. The McGraw men believe
that Thursdays tie game will be the
nearest the Yankees will come to
smelling a victory in this embroglio.
I'VE have got the Yankees on the
dead run" said Heinie Groh midget
third sacker of the Giants and ex-
ponent of the bottle bat, land we will
keep them on the run. The Iank ees
Were supposed to have a five starred
pitching staff, but L have not seen it
yet"
Crowd Doesn't Mind Rain.
The crowd came early. and the wet
weather did not seem to rust the edge
newspa pers upon the wet chairs and
watched the threatening clouds.
Manager Huggins figured on Carl
Mays to subdue the Giants with his
submarine ball,
Mays can pitch good enough ball
to win" said Higgins. but our feI-
lows have not seemed to bat behind
him this year. Still they don't appear
to be batting behind any of the pitch
ers Just now"
Some of the Yankees want to see
Joe Bush in there pitching today They
say they have been lucky behind "Bul-
let Joe" all season, and his fast ball
was made to order for a dark day.
John McGraw riding high and pret-
ty with two victories in the old bat
bag. can afford to gamble. He thought
he would start McQuilian this after
noon. If he was right. but some of the
Giants said he might uncover Nehf.
his star southpaw.
Up Go the Umbrellas.
The drizzle turned to rain shortly
before 1 O'Clock and the crowd in the
bleaShers raised their umbrellas while
others sat beneath outspread news
papers which they held over their
heads. only the brass band piped its
merriest tunes to dispell the gloom of
the sodden day.
The ground keepers had removed
the canvas mats from the base paths.
and near / o'clock the Yankees came
up on the field while the band played
Hail, Hail the Gangs All Here"
Ihe DleacherS were nearly filled an
hour before game time and the spec
tators were still passing thru the turn
stiles. The upper reserved stands
showed a few vacant seats.
The Yanks went at their batting
practice with vim. Llewellyn shot up
some stopping curves and some fast
ones for the home folks to try out
their batting eyes, which had appar-
emily failed them during the series.
Carl Mays wrapped in a heavy sweat
er, took part in the practice.
Rain Continues To Fall. .
Both clubs went thru a fast field
ing workout. A light rain continue i
TO fail internationally and it was quite
dark
Every seat in the unreserved sec
tons was taken and another capacity
crowd was in evidence.
Jess Barnes went into the box when
the Giants took their turn at batting
practice After Barnes worked Il
while. Carmen Hill took up the bur-
zen of pitching to the Giants. Nc
Quillan and Ryan, two of the Giant
right-handers. took part in the work
out.
1t was a fine day for speed ball
pitching. The murk lay thick over
the playing field and it was hard 10
follow the course of the ball as it left
the nitcher's hand.
