With a man on third (ft. runner from first started for second. IThomas threw down, and as Eddie Collins saw the player on third dash ofor the plate he came tearlnjc In. and, receiving the heave, slammed It back at the catcher so hard that tho would-be scorer was cut by fully two yards. Athletics Better.

T6 compare tho two teams jon today's showing one would be led to Relieve that Philadelphia has a shade itfro better club, and this In spite of -defeat. While neither team had a whole lot to do afield, tho work of the nthletlcB was more impressive, and the practice the crowd simply fiharveled at the speed of the Quaker 'nfleld, which was supposed to be weakened by the absence of Mclnnea. That tho Philadelphia quartet Is jtronger, faster, and more reliable Is evident, while In the outfield It is a toss-up. Behind the bat Myers and "Thomas aro about on a par, for, while Thomas let a couple of runners get away from him, he was trying to foil the offensive movements of a club that Is conceded to bo somewhat better on the bases than tho team which Myers was called upon to stop. So the whole thing revolves about the pitchers.

What tho twlrlers will do Is entirely problematical, although yesterday's game would Indicate that there Is little to chooso between ilathowson and Bender. Tho Giants are off in front, and have a tremon- "dous advantage, which they may bo able to maintain, but on Monday Connie Mack will come back with Jack who will oppose Marquard, and then it will be possible to form better estimate of both clubs. If Marquard trims Coombs, the Athletics will have but a slight chance. No Chances Taken. In yesterday's game neither team took desperate chances of any sort, although both teamB at times departed from theoretical baseball In order to worry the opposition.

The most evident case of this came in the Athletics' end of the fifth. With a man on third and another on second nnd two out It would ordinarily be considered wise on the part of the batter to slam tho ball, but Kddie Collins caught the Giants' Infield fiatfooted and bunted. Tho ball started right and 11 run would have resulted, but the leather curved outsldo and the whole proposition went wrong. For weeks it had been hinted that there might be trouble between the players because of the determlnat'on of the New Yorkers to win the world's title at all costs. During tho early innings tho conduct of all concerned wan eo upright that it could be called almost tame, but In tho sixth, with the score tied, there came an outbreak of rowdyism which; was the only thing to mar an otherwise perfect game.

Snodgrass to steal third an Thomas foresaw. the plav und made a perfect thro.w to Baker. The third baseman received the oall low, and as ho swung to touch out the runner Snot1-grass took a vlclour dive, and although there appeared to be no call for such f.ctlon, savagely threw his feet high In the air. Mis 8Dlks caucht Baker just nbovo his left elbow and so strong was the Impact that he gashed the arm of the Fhlladelphlan and the ball rolled away. Bnodgraos was safe, but for a while it looked as though there might bo some trouble.

Baker CaUeS Him. As soen as he had recovered tho ball Baker went back to his assailant and "eald some pretty pointed things about dirty baseball, but before there was further trouble the Athletics' trainer waB busy with adhesive strip, pulling together tho wound. Arthur Devlin, the WashlngtonJan, was on third base coaching for tho Giants at tho time, and when the whole reserve Philadelphia squad started to roast Snodgrass from the bench.

Beforo there were any hostilities, Umpire Klem Interrupted with warnings to all concerned. In the second the Athletics made a run that looked mighty big for a while. Baker hit and was sacrlllcfd by Murphy, and on a cross between a wild pitch and a passed ball Baker mad third and Davis, the ono about whqm every Philadelphia adherent had been worrying, camo along with a single that drove In a run.

The Giants tied It fit the fourth, after two were out. Snodgrass was hit by a pitched ball and went to second, while Murray was being tossed out after Merkle had fanned. Herzog Bent a liner straight at Collins, which the second baseman booted and allowed to roll Into right field. An ordinary ball player would have considered himself luckv to get to third on the play, hut Merkle kept on going, and before the ball was shot back to Thoma.s he slid across the plate with the score which tied It up. The Giants won It in the seventh, after two were gone on doubles by Myers and Devore.

Interesting Big Chief Guessed Right.

It happened In the seventh. All forty-odd thousands of rooters had stood up and stretched. They cheored Matty; they cheered Uttle, grouchey-looking McGraw; thoy even cheered "Old Man" Brush, far away, back of tho scoreboards in his motor car. The affair was in tho hands of the "Big Chief." Indian vs. Indian.

The crowd saw the situation and emitted countless war cries. Thoro wan a apodal lot of hooting from the Athletic players' bench. They were "kidding" Moyers. But he turned on them with a big, white-tcothed laugh and held up two Angers of his left hand. "Is that a promlso?" yelled a member of the Athletic team, the raised digits of the big chief Indicating that he meant to slam out a two-bagger "Yep; It's a promise," shouted back the New York Indian.

And glory be ho kept itl The bat cracked. And with It cracked down for the Athletics hopo of taking tho first game. Meyers held up two fingers again at tho Philadelphia aggregation in token that he had made "good." How They Were Betting. "How'ro you bottln'7" one "fan" 'would hout to another across tho sea of fares In the grandstand. "Ufl." would come the answer.

'Us' Is right" the Inqulror would reply, happily. And then each would studv again the actions of the Players ajt practice. Some Bank Roll. After all the preliminaries, when tho pictures had all been taken and all the players and umpires and managers had shaken hands to show the general good and the last photographer had en driven to cover.

"And I'm going to do nil I can to make our the winners' share." answered "Larry." "Tho batteries," sang" Silver" Phillips, "will be Bender and Thomas for Philadelphia; Mathewson f.nd Moyers for New York. Davis plnis llrst base in place of Mclnnes." All Ready to Pose. When the photographers walked across the field at 12:30 o'clock tho bleacherltcs rose and cheered and posed, ready to a man to see their pictures In the paper In the morning.

The enthusiasm that was wasted In this ono lnstan.ee would, otherwise employed, dig feet of obstruction out of the Cu-lcbra cut. Fans Kill Time. One of the happiest moments In tho lives of tho btcacherltes at tho Polo Grounds yesterday was the oft recurring one that offered opportunity to pelt a woman with paper. The woman could not retaliate; she could meroly blush and grow a little frightened and very Belt-conBOlous and uncomfortable. But there waB nothing else for the bleacherltcs to do.

They had to while away tho hours before the game some way, and it waB only noon and tho big baseball battlo two hours away. It was an old trick thus to shoot showers of mutilated literature at unoffending womon. but the bleacherltes laughed and Jeered and chanted In greatest enjoyment. If tho trick had been tirand new it could not have been moro noisily approved by some. Cautious Fanatic.

A speculator approached a man who-had been unable to buy a ticket. "Got something good for 6," said the affable 200 per cent gentleman. "Beat It." said the other. "The newspapers have put mo wloo to you. I want to see this gamo, but I'll try to lick a cop before I'll buy anything from you.

At that your tickets aro probably phoney." Scheme Failed to Work. A speculator who waB offering his tickets one at a time was more successful. "I have two," he Bald, "for which I paid $4 each Ono of them was for a friend who hasn shown up yet and won't bo here. I'll Boll It for what It cost me." By moving about In the crowd he got rid of half a dozen tickets. Another fellow who thought he had tho police outwitted had cut a pigeon hole opening through a fence.

Ho got on tho othor side of It bo that ho could not be accused of soiling In the street, and began to do business, yelling through a megaphone to attract a crowd. He did that, but ho also attracted the pollco, who got behind tho fence also and took him to tho lockup, confiscating his tickets. Got There Late. There was fine distinction among tho bleacherltes. a man who tried to take a bite off a home-made sandwich waB mobbed because he confessed Hint did not arrive until 7 o'clock In the morning.

Bender Always Smiling. It was a beautiful battlo between twq of the craftiest pitchers In busebull, Mathewson and Bender, and, when the game was over, the difference between the two was only a Bhode. Mathewson. the palo-facef had won, hut the extra run was due to an error Bender, tho Indian, had lost, but he still smiled as ha FJcked ud Ma nlove and walkori tn Um feeute. JUe wbU4 erea though ha Bits Caught at had lost that which ho desired most to wln-hls gamo In tho biggest series of the biggest year In bnseball.

Perhaps that smile was professional, part of his stock In trade. Nevertheless tho Indian smiled, beaten In ono of the best games that he ever played.

Though defeated in their first battle, Connie Mack's players are certain as over of winning the series, and tomorrow's game at Philadelphia should be bitterly fought from first to last.

Bender Is out of tho way for a few days, though, and it will bo up to cither John Coombs or Eddlo Plank to win tho victory for the American Leaguers. The Giants' win should boost them high In the favor of the butting men all over the country. White Sox win again. At the Georgetown-Indian game yesterday what Interested mo most was the ovtdently poor physical condition of the Blue and Gray players and the cheerful spirits shown by the Indians. Georgetown's men played hard, but were boon out of wind and forced to succumb to the rushing attack of the Indians.

Tho latter laughed and Joked all the time, frequently drawing cheers from tho throng In the seats on this account. Georgetown was making the game a bitter affair, but the Indians were simply having a llttlo fun on an autumn afternoon. Thorpe Is a wonder. It Is a bit disquieting to Georgetown's supporters to read of tho brilliant battle put up by Virginia yesterday against Swarthmore. The Orange and Blue cohorts went down to defeat by one point, the final score of 9 to 8 proving tho fierceness of the fray.

Furthermore. dlHputo rises as to whethor or not Virginia made a toiJchdown Instead of forcing Swarthmore to a safety. A touchdown would swing the tide of victory to Virginia, and many well-known football men who saw the play think a touchdown was made. However, Virginia played good enough football to win, anyway, and that's what Is wording Georgetown supporters, particularly after yesterday's exhibition on tho Hilltop. Western was swamped.

The White Sox are up to their old tricks again, walloping the Cubs In tho Chicago city series. Ed Walsh was too much for the Chance combination in the first game, and yesterday a ncht uou-blo play in tho ninth stopped a rub baiting rally that might have won the game. McConnell started the double play by tpearlng a liner and raced to snrnnrl nhnnrf nf Rrhllltn comnlctinir It unassisted, Four pitchers wenuu ror Comlskoy, but they won, and that's what's keeping folks awake? on the South Side these nights.

The salesman begged ono sheet from a spectator, and the other man folded It twlco, sat down and smiled. He acted like a man pleased with his bargain.

RAPID SERVICE ADMISSION 91.00. FINE CARD PLEASES THRONG AT LAUREL Crowd Rises to Feet' When Idleweiss and Michael Angelo Fight Out Final Race of Day Track', and Weather Conditions Better Than Ever. LAUREL, Oct. 15. Five of the seven races offered at Laurel yesterday proved to bo as good exhibitions as any critical racegoer Would care to see, but the novelty event and the Chevy Cliaso Steeplechase both proved to be disappointments.

The ncvclty event waB a failure hecauso J. S. Berryman failed to get a proper start with his motorcycle, the result being that Sand ford and Kennedy had a walkaway. Miss Jonah almost ran over Mcrele Webb, tho Baltimore boy, who tried to get something for himself, and finished third. Neither automobile came anywhere near cashing.

The steeplechase was moried by scratches, but to tfce credit of those who made a bid for the rich purse offered It must be that the grandest llde the Roblc gelding ever had and pullecd away from The Welkin In the final strides as If the latter had been tho cheapest of selling platers. 7,000 See the Races. About 7,000 people witnessed tho sport, and of this number there wa not a man, woman, nor child who was not standing when Idleweiss and Michael Angelo fought out the last race. The running was such lhat both of these good Touie runners woro called upon to do their beat, and the showdown was In favor of F. H.

Mllden's perfectly prejared colt. Much has been said of finishes at the new course, but every other one was forgotten when these grand animals ran the mile and a sixteenth yesterday. Idleweiss tOok the lead in the gotaway. Starter Murray being responsible for a miserable start, but could not hold It against the challenge of My Gal. Hedrlck let his Ally out a bit early, and 400 yards beyond tho wire she tired badly and dropped back to last nlace.

Idleweiss was going away at the last half mile, but when Michael Angelo was pushed by tho clever Forehand, and before tho three-quarters was encountcrefl, the great offspring of Ornus appeared to have tho better of the race. This was when Hopkins pushed Idlo-rIb fnrwnrrt. and with Mlchacel Ange lo tho race was a neck-and-neck affair until the field was several hundred nnnt the turn into the stretch. Fifty yards from the tape neither thoroughbred had the better of It, but Idleweiss wus strong enougn 10 yieiu to the coll of Hopkins and was winner by half a length. The time was Tho Golden Buttorfly was third without an effort, but Bell would have accomplished wonders if ho had succeeded in getting tne uuy up.

nuj was scratched. My Gal showed such poor form that she will not likely be run again for several duys. Track Was Perfect. The constant remark of visitors before the first Held was sent away was that no better weather conditions were ever afforded for a day's racing. Tho track was in pructlcally perfect condition.

The top soil was soft enough to resist' the tramping of many hoofs, but not too soft to afford the animals perfect comfort. As the day wore on tho conditions Improved and when the final event came nobody could have asked for a faster course. Syzygy was highly touted to beat her field In the opening race and she made good In company that -overal times has made her appear to be a very cheap animal. Syzygy does not owe her win to anything except her ability to run. She waB going away for the entire tour route, and when the Duko of Brldgewater became dangerous she easily outclassed him.

Syzygy was supposed to bo ready, and all the wiseacres knew It. Dolly Bultman. ran a surprising race and was third without difficult. She Is a very much Improved mare, her races at Laurel having done her much good. Dr.

Froglegs copped another first in the second event of the grand program, and, in fact, had the race all his own way from beginning to end. Froglegs was called upon to beat Ferbal. ono of the best in the barn of J. D.

Killcn. and the colt did it properly. Ferbal was running like the wind In the last 400 yards, and had more speed than the winner at the close. But this burst of speed came too late to affect the result Star Jassamlne was highly prized and came in third. Duval.

Pllnnt. and Lady McGce were liked for former victories over the new mile track, but these three were outclassed. Gallaher Was Hopeful. If the crowd had listened to A. B.

Gallaher not a cent would been risked other than on the chances of his good gelding. Rash acted beautifully at the post and was in tho running all the way. Ho was an easy mark for Kaufman, however, and the latter walked away with the lion's slice of the purse offered. Force was second, his finish being a big disappoint ment to Mr. Bedwell.

Corinth ran tho race as if she didn't care about winning it, but will be fit and ready the next time she Is called upon. Knight Deck was given the worst of the sixth event when the barrier flew up, but ran a corking race and would have beaten Ivabel with a better show. Baby Wolf seemed to be satisfied with second place, but ran a corking race and yielded 'even' time Goldstein tried to push him forward. Largest Crowd of Meeting Sees Fine Racing at Pimlico BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.

The splendid card offered yesterday brought out tho people, and the biggest crowd of the meeting made things lively at the old track. It is not often that a program of such quality as that of yesterday is served up with so many feature events and fields of such class. The Walden might welt claim to be the star number of the afternoon, and Its running certainly aroused as much interest as anything on the card. The public was curious to see the Wilson colt Penobscot, of which it had heard so much, and which Is reputed to be orle of the topnotch youngsters of the year. The entrance of Buch a star unfortunately took all the speculate interest out of the race, but the people overlooked that In the pleasure thev derived from seeing a really good colt perform.

Penobscot won handily enough, although he had to be shaken up a bit at the end to stall off Mission's rush. The winner Is a big slashing colt with a bold way of going, and should develop Into a grand three-year-old. It looked a little ominous, however, to see his ankle painted with iodine. The running of tho race was marred by a bit of rough riding on the part of Eddie Dugan that very nearly resulted lri a bad accident. Right at the start Dugan rushed his mount.

Mission, over from the outside, piling the field up and throwing Mclntyre, who was on Flying Yankee, into the air as If he had been shot out of a gun.
