 Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 7.-- Fair weather greeted the New York Giants and the Washington Senators for the fourth game of the series here today. The promise of bigger crowd than yesterday was evident when the field opened at 10 o'clock. The unreserved bleacher seats were filled before noon and the up- per stands were rapidly absorbing their human cargoes.
 Series Two to One. .... The series now stands two games to one for the Giants. " Two more victories are necessary for the Giants to win the honors, while the Senators must win three more. If the Giants win the next two games here the series will be over without a second shift to Wash ington.
 Before Manager Harris left Wash ington he promised the fans of the Capital City they would have an- other opportunity to witness the sea- sons annual classic In Washington, but in order to bring this about Washington must win another game in New York.
 Is Saving Johnson.
 If the Giants win today it is safe bet that Walter Johnson will be in- serted In tomorrow's picture, al- though Manager Harris would like to save him for that game in Wash ington if possible.
 The umpire assignments for today were announced as: ao, " Quigley at the plate: Connolly at first base; Klem at second base, and Dinneen at third. z McGraw Puzzled.
 That Molsnaw was puzzled by the lack of knowledge as to who would pitch for the Senators was evidenced today by the fact that bdsh Jack Bentley, a left-hander, and Baldwin and Dean, both right handlers. serv- ed them up to the Gaint batters in batting practice.
 After the Giants had enjoyed their batting practice, they all retired to their clubhouse in center field, evi- dently to go into conference. Man ager Harris looked at the departing athletes, shook his head, and whis- pered to Walter Johnson, Deep stuff, eh 2"
 At 1;15 o'clock the center field bleachers and the entire upper stand was mass of impatient humanity. The lower stands were rapidly ftll- ing and indications were that big ger crowd than yesterday would wit ness the game today.
 NTogridge Selected.
