Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 26,—Having
failed to bring home the world’s cham
pionship yesterday the Philadelphia
Athletics will try to win the neces
sary fourth game from the fighting
New York Giants at Shibe Park this
afternoon.
The Giants have taken on a new
lease of life and are determined to
wage the stiffest kind of.,a battle to
even up tlae series and then fight it
out for seventh game in
York tomorrow.
Athletics Disappointed.
The Athletics are grievously disap-
IM>int€d in their falure to hold the
struggling Giants yesterday as they
did not expect the New Yorkers to
come back at them with-the-gameness
in which they did and especially with
Coombs pitching.
It is probable that Manager Con
nie Mack will send in .“Eddie” Plank,
his reliable left-handed pitcher, to
stop the Giants’ batting streak. Plank
pitched a masterly game at Shibe Park
last week. He went Into yesterday’s
game on the Polo grounds at a critical
period of the tenth inning without hav
ing been thoroughly warmed up. Man
ager McGraw ‘is expected to choose
either Ames or Crandall in his effort
to keep Philadelphians out of the
championship. Both pitchers twirled
excellent ball yesterday and Crandall j
did much to bring .victory to the
Giants by the good use of his bat, I
The exports do not believe that Me- j
Gr^w will send Mathewson or Mar
quard into the box as each was prac-1
tically driven from the hurling mound
in their last times out, |
The weather early today was hazy _
but the sun could be discerned be-
hind the veil and It is expected to burn
up the fog before 10 o'clock. The tem- ^
perature is about right for the game.
Rush for Tickets. j
Awaiting the outcome of yesterday’s
game the Athletic management did not
begin the sale or tickets for the sixth
game until this morning. Long lines
of people stood in front of downtown'
ticket office waiting to ‘ purchase re
served seats and at the grandstand
