NEW YORK. October with the
final decision still as uncertain as be
fore the classic began. the Giants and
Nationals meet today at the POLO
Grounds in the third game of the
world series, after having divided two
sensational struggles at the Natlonai
Capital. New York took the first OF
these conquering Walter Johnson.
but Washington came back to win
yesterday and square the count.
1t was warm and hazy in New York
this morning, with indications tha'
the weather would be good for the
first game of the world series here
this afternoon.
The strategy of managers kept
southpaws prominent during the trst
two games but today right handlers
will walk into the halo that enclrcleS
the pitching box in important con
tests. "Rucky" Harris. dynamic
young pilot of the Nationals, has an
nounced that Fred Marberry, whose
heroic relief work checked the Giants
in the ninth inning of yesterdays
battle. will start this afternoon tor
WASHINGTON John McGraw, con; ;orm-
ing to his usual reticence In making
his mound selections, has not dlscloseu
his choice but it seems certain TO De
either Hugh McQuillan or NirSil
Barnes, with the chances faVorlnS the
former.
Line-Ips to BE Changed.
Orthodox pitching also Will affect
the line-ups in other positions. For
the Giants it will mean that Bill

home run was a contributing factor
to victory in the first game. Will De
back at first, with George Kelly shift
ed to center; Wilson to left. and
Meuael right-handed swinger
benched For the Senators, Leibold,
a left-hander at the plate. Will play
center field. replacing McNeely, a
right t-handed recruit, Whose playing
in the first two games has been disap-
pointing.
The entrance of right-handers into
the series will inject an unknown
element. particularly for Washington.
which has not yet sampled other than
southpaw hurting. The Giants, after
having beaten Johnson, feel able to
core with any others of the right
handed species Harris may select.
McGraw whose choice of Nehf in
the first game proved effective in
checking the left-handed Washing
ton wrecking crew, notably Goose
Goslin, decided to southpaw the SEN
ators to death yesterday by shoot
ing in Bentley. Harris countered the
master minds" move by feeding the
slow curve offerings Of Zachary to
the team that had eaten heartily of
JoRnson'S speed. But both pieces of
strategy failed, for Zachary was
knocked out of the box by d Giant
rally that tied the score in the ninth,
while in the same thrilling frame
Peckinpaugh drove across the Win
ming run for the Senators and van
quished Bentley.

Early arrivals at the ticket Win
dows of the Polo Grounds today indi-
cast would be exceeded. Threaten

fans, whose all-night vigil had been
made passably endurable by the mild
temperature.
AS the early birds flocked about the
turnstiles to be in position to get the
choicest of the 10000 unreserved seats
i'll the upper tier of the grandstand and
tie 1000 bieacher benches, Washington
was favored by odds of 6 to to win to-
days game, and by a margin Of IL to 10

The bleacher line was built around
neucleus of five out-of-town fans, who
had taken their posts at 10 o'clock last
night. Joseph A. F'olby, school teacher
of Springfield, ILL.,, who said he had
motored all the way from his home,
headed the queue.
Two special trains. one carrying

New York and Washington teams rolled
into Pennsylvania Station at 10 o'clock
last night An hour later another spe-
cial discharged hundreds of Washing

arrived on regular trains between and
