automoDlie, and TO his ultimate DEF
Getting $4,000 year evidently
isn't all skittles and beer. From time
immemorial the appearance of flies in
amber has been noted by philosophic
poets, and there. are snakes in all va
rieties Of grasses. The learned iurist
with the famous shock of white hair
fell afoul Of all these unpleasant cir
cumstances. He had no more to do
with it than Henry Fabian or Rip Van
Winkie, yet the torrents of tribulation
swirled round his reverent head as he
actually fought his way off the field
The decision that ended the drawn bat
tie in the tenth inning was rendered
by Umpire Hildebrand in his capacity
of arbiter in chief for the day. To him
should go the glory or the shame.
AS surprise party it was wonder
full success. Bob Meusel had Just
fouled out for the final Yankee casu-
atty in the tenth inning, with the score
knotted at three runs all, when Pancho
Snyder gave the ball an affectionate
squeeze and started for the clubhouse
as Umpire Hildebrand turned to the
stands and said, Game called" joey
Dugan, who was we'll on his way to his
position at third base, stood stock still
with his mouth open. He looked like
gentleman who had been crowned
with bung starter at an Irish wake.
Aaron Ward, dashing toward second
base, received the shock full in the
face and ran around in small circles
until led gently to quiet quarters
Miller Higgins went right up into the

hour last night.
Then Tumult Arose
Then the tumult and the shouting
arose, and were loud in the land. More
people knew less about what happened.
why it happened and what would be the
consequences than at any similar per-
formance in the history of professional
endeayor. Unnoticed by the spectators,
after the Yanks had tied the score in
the eighth inning, the two senior UNI
plres of the game, Klein and Hide
brand, held conference and decided
just how far the game could go. The
result of their confab was kept Sc

to storm the clubhouses and capture

Go get 'em, boys.
AT this point the whole issue was as
clear as mud. Colonel Jacob Rupert
thought that to-day's game at the Polo
Grounds should be the second home
game for the Giants, and that yester-
days drawn battle could be played off
as, when and if needed. Miller Hug
gins had an idea that it would be the
home game. of the Yankees to-day, but
that the Giant second game tickets
would be legal tender at the gate. Colo

home game, and that the second Yam

Huston Loses Argument
It is great pleasure to announce
to palpitant public that Cap" Hus-
ton lost the argument. Last night be-
tween the soup and FISH course at
the Commodore Commissioner Lands
issued bulletin that settled the mat
ter. To-day's frightful fracas will be
the third game of the series, the Giants
will be hosts of the Yankees and the
order of events will march right on
as II yesterdays struggle had been
decisive instead of drawn battle. The
clan McGraw will have whatever per-
quisites go with the wearing of the
white uniforms. Colonel Rupert is

he wins the season pass to Central
Park for solving the riddle before
Judge Lands published the answer.
In all the excitement the great ten
inning duel between Battling Bob
Shawkey and Jess Barnes was almost
forgotten. The deep sea sailor of the
Yankee crew shut the Giants out for
nine full innings and yet failed to win
his game. The mistake he made was in
whitewashing the clan McGraw from a
second innings start. He was just one
inning late. The nine blank frames

tenth, when hostilities were suspended.
1t was in the opening burst of fire
by the enemy clan that Shawkey was
badly wounded. Heinie Groh pounded
his fourth successive worlds series hit
to center and Frank Frisch advanced
him to second with a single to left.
Irish Meusel sauntered up to the plate,
took toehold, adjusted his sights and
fired round shot squarely into the left
field bleachers. 1.-The parade is start
