Who would bribe G. Edward Waddell and why no one can say. But still in Philadelphia they shake their heads and say" bribe." It is pointed out that G. Edward was It yesterday with a Chicago newspaper in his hand. Also that he has a relative living in Evanston.

Furthermore, the sinister story is floating around that G. Edward has been caught wearing white socks. its awful to get so mistrustful of human nature as they are down here In Philadelphia. Of course It has its good effects once in a while. One of the Athletics said after the game today: Won? Why, of course we did.

We had to. If we they would have said we had been grafting. They would have hung us from the lamp posts." Rube's Flitting Visit. It is said there is to be a day of prayer for the reformation of Rube Waddell, like the one they had here that brought about the change of heart in Mayor Weaver. Anyhow.

It was well for Chicago that the White Sox lost at least one of the two games yesterday in Boston. They were already commencing to talk in whispers in Philadelphia about how funny it was that Chicago was having such luck.

It was the proper thing in Philadelphia to remark significantly that Boston didn't seem to be working overtime playing against Chicago. This polite phrase contained a sneer. It also hinted at graft. But tonight all such cruel Suspicions are hushed. The Philadelphians are willing to concede that Chicago won strictly on its merits everywhere along the route up to this But here the White Sox met their masters.

On the street corners. In the hotel. everywhere, today there was no talk in the air except of the great game. Philadelphians were certain the Athletics would win, but insisted on even money when they made bets. Apotheosis of Baseball.

Today was the apotheosis of baseball. Two winning teams, one that has long been at the top and the other that has way up by the most desperate, brilliant playing on record in baseball annals, met in a death grapple at, almost the end sal the season. It is one of the most spectacular finishes baseoall ever has seen. The Chi, cagos played in the last seven days In a manner that is nothing short of phenomenal. They have put up one of the hardest, pluckiest fights ever seen.

They beat down a big percentage handicap to start with and began the series here today almost even with their rival. ned. and 3hia It yes- xnd. ting Ight so are tho lave Lave for the th vv. and bite or a hile ad- day ling 10Vr ch hia dn't inst a to- led.

This is the place all right. Mr. Plank stopped the rush 8 to 2, in the largest event of the season, while 20,348 of our best chivalry and beauts applauded his gallant deed. Great man, that Plank. After all, the pennant may blow In during the nine days more to play.

It will if the leaders continue to win with such charming claf, as Editor Twinkle of the Littlestovrn Mercury would say. While Patterson pitched good ball, holding the leaders to seven hits, the St. Croix wonder was away to leeward of the Gettysburg guide. The Sox, who have beaten so many flingers to a pulp, eked out three hits, and Plank whiffed twelve of them. He had Fielder Jones jamming right off the reel, and that opened the route to the others.

I-BY R. IL LITTLE. Philadelphia, Sept. 2.S.--Special.--It looked as if the White Sox might pluck victory out of defeat right up to the last moment.

which was the most hopeful of all. but a moment is only a sixtieth part of a second. Chicago was at bat, two were outi and Donohue should have been, but Hartzel muffed his fly and Donohue reached second. McFarland was put in to bat in place of Green. Mr.

Plank did not take any chances with Mr. McFarland and carefully threw four balls sixteen feet south of where Mr. McFarland wa waving his bat so fiercely in the air. Mr. McFarland walked.

Mr. Rohe went next to the plate. He got lammed by the ball and walked to first base. Now was the great moment, and in the grand stand loyal Chicago hearts beat high and fast with hope. The bases were full, It was the last inning, and only one run was wanted to tie.

Sullivan's Great Opportunity. The Philadelphia crowd sat as still as If turned to stone -while Stilltretn. who was trembling like an aspen leaf, stepped forward to make the effort of his life at the bat. Donohue on third. McFarland on second.

Rohe on.first, stood poised for the mad flight. The pitcher held the ball and sent It through the air. Strike one," the umpire said. You could see Sullivan's hand shake as he took a new grip on the bat. -and even from the last seat In the grandstand you could see on the look that.

was on that of the immortal Mr. easel in the classic poem. Fans Motionless in Suspense. Long and lovingly Mr. Plank held the ball.

Twenty thousand people, still and motionless, gazed in awful suppLication at young Mr. Plank, and their lips were moving. and now again that ball came hurling through the air. There was a subdued crack like a cap pistol. The ball darted toward Mr.

Plank. It struck his shins, caromed off. and rolled toward first. The pitcher dashed after it, while the Chicago runners tore madly forward on the base lines. Plank picked up the ball and tossed it to first.

The game was over and Chicago had lost. Put Up a Consistent Fight. It was nobody's fault that the Sox lost today. Only their misfortune. They fought hard.

Nobody ever saw a team put up a better or more consistent fight than did- Comiskey's young men from Chicago. The trouble was that the Athletics, aided and abetted by the entire city of Philadelphia, irrespective of age, sex, and previous condition of servitude, fought just as good a battle as we did. That still fails to explain. For both sides fighting- equally hard and equally well, why did after fluttering doubtfully and hesitatingly around for awhile. finally decide to go down and roost on Philadelphia's banper? Because principally of Edward Sycamore Plank.

Edward Sycamore Plank is the young man who was Just out of college only a few years ago. He Is the- pride and hope of the Philadelphia team. He did real well. Address I 714 '7117- 71,1 aikawi.a.m.amitiaLmik But the real campaign has just begun. I Today was only the first skirmish.

There is still hope left. Hope and two moreggames. 1 I to retire to make room for the busy retailers of base hits and bungles. Accident Aids Winning Run. So simple a thing as Hartsel's glove won the game, if you want the result sifted down.

to a microscopic diagnosis. While Topsy reposed on second base in the seventh his fielding glove lay palm upward in short left field. Davis poked a liner in that direction and Topsy dug for home. The ball struck the glove, which checked its speed an in' Stant. That instant saved -Topsy, for Callahan took the ball on its belated, bound and shot a beautiful throw to the plate.

Sullivan naissed Topsy by the narrow margin of a gnat's heel as he sped over the rubber with the winning run. This is a new idea. An athlete's glove gives him absent treatment while he negotiates the dangerous route from bag to bag in these soul stirring games. When Hurst had properly adjusted his chowder cap and Silk had tossed a handful of nails into his voice to make it raspy the contenders for coin and glory got busy. Ground rules prevailed, and the Sox got the better end.

They smote two doubles into the crowd and realized two runs. while the only local two bagger into the bunch. produced Jones opened the show by striking out- He did that three On the last'whiff Fielder looked around to see who had moved the plate.

It was rough on Plank to have his shins barked in the ninth, but the situation was desperate and required heroic stunts.

George Davis made a dandy force play on Seybold in the third.

Topsy's muff in the ninth dropped a ton of ice down every spine. Monte Cross, the sixth. was the only man Patterson struck out. Harry Davis imitated Robe out from a sitting posture in the seventh. George Edward Waddell was not in uniform.

In perspective the game looked tough to him and he conjured up visions of Jones going out on strikes and his other sluggers wasting their efforts on the desert air of Philadelphia. Bad News in the Seventh. Then came the disquieting story of the seventh.

It was nothing for Sox and one for Philadelphia. There goes the first game," said Comiskey, resignedly. We can't pull this game out of the fire with asbestos gloves. We're trimmed." Not yet," said Thompson. I know," said the chief.

The ticker chanted a mournful dirge for another session and a half. And then the president of the White Sox rang for a messenger, wrote a telegram, and went home. ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEETING.

All the Philadelphia pipers today made use of the uncopyrig-hted phrase that the "Chicago team was batting like demons." Young Mr. Sycamore -Plank met our demon batters and struck out twelve of them. And it was not because the Sox were not batting for all that was in them. too.

It was simply because Plank himself was putting up the game of his life. Chicago made only three hits off him. Mr, Roy Paterson stood on the hill for CMcago. Mr. Roy Paterson, he did well t'ank you, but the Athletics made seven off of Mr.

Roy Patterson, while only one of them left his scalp in Mr. Paterson's belt The Fatal Glove. Both teams played for their lives, and the Sox are more to be pitied than censured that they -lost. It was partly- through an accident, all of which concerns a common glove left lying on the greensward in left field. If It pad not been for this glove Callahan would have picked Up the grounder which Davis sent out into left field more promptly, and Hartsel never would have made the third and winning run.

Callahan would have picked up the ball with greater celerity, only the ball struck against the glove which Hartsel himself had left lying. there. The ball came bounding -along the ground. and Just when it should gone leaping into the 'waiting mitt. of Callahan it struck the glove Instead and went rolling off in another direction.

It during these proceedings that Mr. Hartsel, head up and tail up and foaming at the mouth, galloped madly across the plate with the winning run. If it hadn't been for that glove. Baseball Mad. Over 20,000 people crowded into the park to see the first game of the series.
