New York, Oct. 24.—From left to right are Christy MathewsK>n, the star Southpaw -of the Giants, Charles Ben
der of the Atliletics and “Rube” Marquard, of the Giants. The trio of twirlers are regarded as the hopes

Los Angreles, Cal^ Oct. 24^Ten men
of the first venire of 125 in the Mo>
Namara murder trial answered to their
names when Judge Bordwell opened
conrt today. Except for nine others
in the Jury box. all the rest had been
excused, either in the rapid fire prelim*
inary examination made by Judge
Bordwell before the trial opened or in
subsequent battles between opposing
counsel.
Of the nine In the box, Robert Bain,
Seaborn H. Manning and F. D. Green
had been provisionally accepted by
both sides subject to peremptory chal
lenge; George W. McKee was held
there because Judge Bordwell yester
day refused to allow challenge for
cause offered against him by the de
fense, and flve othiars were to be ex
amined. They are Walter L. Couard,
George E.» Anderson, Emil Rambeaud,
Charles E. Binder and F. J. Mullen.
When iiourt opened Clerk George
Monroe called veniremen to flll the
three vacant seats, leaving only seven
veniremen outside the rail.
Ordinarily when a venire is reduced
to ten men a new one Is called. In
this instance this is unnecessary at
present because parts of two other ve
nires are waiting in the other eleven
branches of superior court of Los An
geles county and these, according to
District Attorney Fredericks, may be
used in the McNamara case.

SIXTH INNING.
First half:^—
Doyle given his base on balls
Snodgrass was called out on strikes,
not hitlng at a single ball. On Murray’s
foul fly to Baker, Doyle was doubled

for the play as he made a bluff to
scoop an imaginary grounder.
No runs, no hits, no errors.
Second half: —
Herzog made a sensational pick
up of Davis’ hard grounder and got the
runner at first. The New York third
baseman was given a great hand. Snod

Philadelphia, Oci. 24.—^Tens of
thousands of baseball fans were made
happy when they saw the clear
weather today for the much postpon
ed fourth game between the Philadel
phia Athletics and the New York
Giants in the series for the champion
ship of the world.
There was ho “flare back” of the
weather of the last six days and af
ter an enforced rest of a week the
two champion ball teams will meet
on Shibe pary this afternoon.
The playing field is still somewhat
heavy.
While the day it fine, it is more fit
for football than for baseball. There
was a brisk wind blowing from the
northwest that had a slight nip in it
and made top coats comfortable.
At 8 a. m. the government weath
er bureau thermometer registered 50
degrees with the prospect that it
would grow very little warmer.
Fan* Out* Early.
The bright weather brought out the
fans early. Before 8 o’clock there
were severeal hundred In line a)
Shibe park waiting for the bleachei
gates to open. The line grew longei
every minute and by the time the
gates were opened shortly after 8
there were about two thotHand per
sons congregated about the entrance
All reserved seats were sold befori
the flrst game was played a weeM
ago yesterday and another crowd
that will tax the capacity ot the big
grounds will no doubt be on hand
when play begins. .
Both Teams Fit.
Both teams are in fit condition. The
week’s rest has turned up the mer
who were on the verge of sta.leness
and has enabled the pitchers to gel
back their strength for strenuous
box work.

Fair Weather Is
Likely All Week
While the frost king did not appear
5ji the nipping and blackening capa«ty
predicted for him last night hereabout
he did appear. Weather Observer O.
O. Atto reported a light this
morning and a temperature of 46 de
grees as the lowest last lilgM. The
frost at points about the city was light
but may have been heavier In the ru
ral districts, especially in swampy, low
^^^shevllle had a temperature of 36
degrees last night with a white frost.
Raleigh also had a light frost.
The point of main interest in the
dope handed out by Observer Mto this
morning was that tomorrow will also
be fair and clear even as tMay is and
that there are no signs visible any
where of storms brewing or rains com
ing this way; which means that there
is a probability of fine weather for
the four days of the fair. This will
be interesting information to the
tribes tented at the fair grounds as
well as to the thousands from this
county and adjoining counties, who
will take a look at the fair before it is
over.

Charleston, S. C.. Oct. 24.—J. S. Mey-
!ers, a white fireman, who was scalded
and Internally injured in' the steam
grass of the Giants, are almost heal
ed and will give the third baseman
no trouble today. The “Charley
Horse” that flrst Baseman Merkle, ol
the New Yorkers, has been carrying
around with him is also disappear
ing.
Batteries Today
The battery probabilities today are
Mathewson and Meyers for New
York, and Bender and Thomas for
Philadelphia. There has been no in
timation from Manager Mack or Man
ager McGraw as to whom they will
use. It Is said that if the weather
remains cold this afternoon Mack
may switch from Bender to Mc-
Coombs, who is a good cold weather
pitcher. In that event Lapp will be
sent in to catch.
The series now atands 2 victories
for the Athletics to 1 for New York
and the baseball experts declare that
today’s game Is more important to
New York than to Philadelphia.
Should the Athletlci win, they would
have to get only one more victory to
capture the championship while Nev^
York would have to take three gamee
straight. A victory for New York
today would place them on an even
footing and greatly strengthen confi
dence of the team. The probable bat
