By that time the procession as more
than half a block long Philadelphia.'!!
rooters, stringe to say, were far moro
cheerful than yesterday They pointed
to the fact that Boston had no runnwav
today, and advanced the opinion that th
Athletics, stuns to the best that Is In
them, will so out now and take four In
a row.
The experts are not so sure about that,
but nono would say that Boston would
be a sure winner of the pennant On
the banner carried by the Boston roval
rooters was Inscribed, in addition to their
name, tho following:
'Baltimore. 19T: Pittsburgh, 1003: N-w

ATHLETICS FIRST ON FIELD.
The Athletics wore the first on the field
t gain today, but the Braves were Just
Dehind them. Barry, Mutnhy and Bush
were the first three out, followed bv Old
ring and Muiphy From their actions In
early practice th bitter pill of defoat
was good medlrme for the White Ele
phants. The pep that made them three
times champions of the world was ap
parent in every action.
Boston's crew also went at their prac
tice in snappy fashion. Their easy vic
tory of yesterday apparently had not
made them overconfident. Bressler went
on the mound to pitch for batting prac
tice and he was given a long round of
cheers.
An hour beforo the game began stand
ing room was at a premium in tho bleach
ers Even the Somerset street fence bo
hind the stands was occupied by men
and boys precariously perched on its top.
Two advertising signs on the tops of
houses also wore occupied early by fans,
who clung to thorn like monkeys. House
tops that were too far away yesterday
to be thought worth while by the fans
were occupied today
Faith In the reserve power of the maul
ing Mackmen was apparent in every howl
from the bleachers.
A moment later a white-clad girl fan
from Boston, t,ald to be Hank Gowdy's
fiancee, came on the field ami presented
Gowdy with a bit of encouragement in
the shape of a traveling bag Tho Bos
ton rooters wanted to know If the bag
was for the honeymoon trip, but she de
clined to commit herself After present
ing Gowdy with the bne, the vouns lady
pinned an American rose on his manly
chest.
Just then th fair fan. who was In tho
act of shaking hands with "Honey Fltz,"
ex-Mayir of Boston. w:.s forgotten as
the Aw.letlcs trotted out on the field.
The fans roared until the well-known
welkin rang as it has never rung before
When James stepped into the pitcher'
box in the second half of the first he
dropped the ball and otherwise displayed
a great deal of nervousness.
When Murphy, displaying the patience
of Job, drew four balls it didn't help the
Brave pitcher's nervousness to any ex
tent, and the fans strained their throats
a second later. They rheered Just as
lustily when Murphy was caught ten feet
off second base.
EVERS SLOW ON THE BASES.
When Evers tried to steal second in
the third, he ran no faster than a steam
roller. His gait was so slow that Schang
started to run down and tag him him
self, but changed his mind when he got
half-way to the pitcher's box. and tested
him out easily to Eddie Col in
The royal rooters kept rather quiet dur.

The flrtt real hooting of the umpires
occurred in the nfth Inning wnen Lord
Byron called the first three balls pit, bed

fceemed t be over the heart of the plate
Even some of the Bostoa fans yelled at
Byron.
Lite was made miserable for a police
man in the upper grandstand by the fans
when he climbed over everal rows of
seats. The Muecoat and the fan who had
caught a foul ball had an animated con.
versatlon, but the guardian of the law
had the last word and also got the ball.
After the fans had hooted for about ten
minutes, he traded postb with the blue.

fortunately for the Braves It was during
batting practice Tho Rabbit tried to do
it again, and the next ball thrown to him

MANAGER STALLINGS WITH A
fore noon The sun beat down mercilessly
and fans stripped off their coats and
collars trying to Keep coo . Grandstand
patrons were Inter thn jvsteday arriv
ing at the park.
Tho Philadelphia money was Just as
plentiful as esterda. Even the New
York nnd Boston sporting writers hesi
tated about making predictions
A tented army of enthusiastic fans
camped In a field oppositlo Shlbe Park
and, emerging about 7 o'clock this morn
ing from their tepees, assumed fiist posi
tion in the line ol bleacherltes which
formtd to buy tickets for the second
game of tho world series.
With the experience of yesterday's
fans, who were obliged by the pollie to
discard their peach basket seats about 6
o'clock in tho morning and stand for tho
rest of the weary hours of waiting for
the ticket window to open, ficsh In their
minds, the campers took a novel method
nf dispensing with this difficulty. They
simply camped.
The police were unable to oust them
from the lot, and the tired band, Instead
of standing wearily on hard, cold stone
in line all night, slept soundly and arose
In time to see other fans who had been
In line almost since yesterday afternoon
dispersed by the police because they re
fused to throw away their basket seats
Then, realizing the danger was over, the
campers went back to bed. crept under
their blankets and enjoyed more sleep.
They were out In time to be first In the
line.
The fans made an early raid on Jars
of milk and bread left on door steps
There was hardly a family on Lehigh ave
nue from :0th as far west as 2Uh street
which din. not suffer to some extent It
was Impossible to detect the thieves,
because the police, not looking for the
activities of the crowd to take such a
turn, were quite unprepared for It None
of the offenders was caught
Lieutenant Boyle, of the Park and Le
high avenues police station, said within
an hour he received more than 50 com
plaints, but then it was too la to to do
anything, because the milk and bread
had been stolen and there was no way
of setting it back.
GIRLS SELL FLAGS.
During the progress of the fans into
the grounds, a, number of girls, headed
by Miss Rose Lieber. 415 Cantrell street,
sold small American flags to many per
jons. They said the money thus gained
will be applied to the purchase of a
monument to be erected In memory of
Poinsett and Smith, the two Philadelphia
sailors who fell in the first day's assault
on Vera Cruz.
A young woman In the crowd said she
had traveled a long way to see today's
game because she knew Jack Barry and
reveral other Athletic players whos
homes originally were In New England
The young woman is Miss Madeline S
Harris, a school teacher at Woodmont.

Details of Play
Continued from raur One
In the ninth Inning tho two teams must
have played on Indefinitely.
Although the early rounds were not
productive of a score, or even a near
score, many thrilling fielding incidents
occurred to preserve the intense Interest
of the fans.
The ninth round, however, overshad
owed anything that has occurred in the
World Series to date. Not only was the
winning run made In this section, but In
their half the Athletics rallied and would
probably have scored had not Maranvllle
exei uted a beautiful play, which resulted
In a double play, retiring theAthleties and
ending the game.
Eddie Plank pitched hrllliant ball for
his club, although he was hit safely seven
times. He kept hlb hits so well scattered
that he and James kept neck and necjffor
the honors until the ninth round was
reached
Marnnville began the ninth by ground.
Ing out to Barry. Deal, the substitute
infielder who took Red Smith's place,
then drovo tho ball to deep centre, where
Htrunk lost It In the sun just long enough
to allow it to drop for two bases. James
fanned and Plank seemed to be out of
trouule, but Mann shot the ball into short
right and Deal scored on the hit. Collins
made a spectacular but unsuccessful at

touched It-
Prior to this hit. Deal should have been
retired He was on second when James
was up A quick throw from Schang to
Barry caught Deal between the bases,
and when he ran to third, Barry, for
some unknown reason, did not make the
throw to Baker.
This error of Judgment lost a putout for
the Athletics Plank faltered for a mo
ment after Mann's hit had scored Deal,
and he walked Evers, but Cather forced
Johnnie at second, ending the Inning.
Barry, first up In the ninth for the Ath
letics, drew four straight balls As Schang
struck out, Barry stole second.
MARANVILLE KILLS RALLY.
Mack did not risk Plank In such a
crisis, but sent Jimmy WaJsh in the
pinch Walsh waited and vfalked Mur.

Inside of second base Maranvllle shot
across the diamond, fielded the ball per
f ecth . stepped on the bag, forcing Walsh,
then throwing to first in plenty of time
to double Murphy, and give his team a
second straight victory over the Mack
men. It was evident after the first innlny
that a pitching battle was on. Until the
ninth Plank had his own way with Juatt,
although he was hit oftener.
James work was even more brilliant
than DKk Rudolphs jesterday. During
the whole game only 23 men faced him.
At no time In their nine chances did
the Athletics have a chance to score until

In only ono Inning did the Braves fall
to have a man on base: that was the
seventh, when Eddie struck out two bat
tors and retired one on an easy grounder.
In the third tho Braves had only three
men to face Plank, but Evers made a
single In this Inning, Inter being thrown
out stealing. In nlmost every Inning
Boston had a chance to put over the
winning run. However, It was not until
the ninth that the pinch blow came.
It Is a remarkable fact that Deal, who
had been criticised severely for his poor
hitting, should have scored the winning
run and incidentally paved the way for It
with a long two-bise hit
The fielding of both teams was extraor
dinarily fast. Mclnnls at first base played
a wonderful game, picking up seemingly
Impossible low and wide throws, which
saved a number of errors for his infield
companion. Barry's work was clever In
the field as far ns the mechanical end is
concerned, but his failure to throw to
Baker in the ninth Inning to retire Deal
does not give him a clean slate for the
day, although he was credited with no
errors.
In the ninth Inning It appeared that
Connie Mack did not wish to be criticised,
as ho was last year, for not putting in a
pinch hitter In place of Plank. This,
however, was in appearance only, for
.vVien he nlav came up last year the
Giants had not Ecored a run, while In
today's game a run was needed to tie the
game, hence Walsh was sent In.
Tho Athletics and Braves will leave
tonight for Boston whore they are sched
uled to play two games Monday and
FIRST INNING
Eddie's first offering to Mann was a
fust ball outside. He then put one
through the middle of the plate. Mann
hit the next ball solidly between the posi
tions usually occupied by Mclnnls and
Collins, but tho speedy second packer
raced across, made a beautiful stop and
threw the runner out. Plank threw two
wide ones to Evers before he sent a strike
acroes. Evers swung hard at the next
one. but he did not meet It In the center
and It wriggled its way atong the grass
between Plank and the foul line before
the pitcher could field It Evers was safe

lnnls. Plank Bent over a strike on Deal,
then the batter hit the next one to Plank,
who quickly threw to Baker to catch
Gowdy. who bad started for third
Gowdy attempted to get back to second,
but Baker's throw to Collins nailed him
at the bag. As James let a strike go
by, Schang made a quick throw to Mc
lnnls, and Deal, who saw that he was
caught iff the bag, made second safely
when Mclnnls slipped when he attempted
to throw Deal was credited with a
stolen base James missed the next ball
pitched and Schang threw to second In
an attempt to catch Deal off that bag.
His throw was high, but Barry saved his
catcher an error by making a. great stop
after a high Jump. Jamea let a ball go,
