Jtj the backstopplns; department. Illirht of fthe reel In the first Inning- Manager McOraw hart OTeteher, the first Giant who Rot on, try Schang- out. No sooner did Fletcher reach first In the opening session than heyurted for second with tho first de livery to the bat No bullet ever carved the center of a bull's-eye mora per fectly than Bchanfc's throw went to Col lins, and It was a near-bullet Itself, for U was In Eddie's hands before Fletcher started his slide. Thereafter the Olanta lid not monkey with Schang's arm or aim, and no one else essayed to steal, although there were several spots In vhlch McOraw probably would have risked, a theft under ordinary circum stances. Meyers did not catch poorly, for only one Athletic stole a baso during the game, and Meyers evened up for that by trap ping Barry off second In the trouble soma eighth inning, when nothing, else could have prevented another run scor ing. Indian Against Indian. t But at that Kid Schang outcaught his killed opponent. Meyers failed , to get a safe hit all day, and that battle be tween Indians, with Chief Ilender pitch ing to the Olanta' chief, was notable In Itself. Three out of four times Meyers came up with men on bases and all four times he was a fairly easy victim.' Dender Used a change of pace against his race ' mate w(th telling effect Ha would feed Meyers some speed, at which tho catcher would hit late and either miss or foul off until hef got into the hole with two strikes. Then Bender would worry Mey ers with soma bad ones and, finally met him with slow balls, which were hit into the air or softly along the ground. Snodsrrass Bndly Missed. The Olants were shaker) i"P a bit by the inability of Bnodgrass to play center on account of a prolonged attack of "Charley horse." That necessitated play ng Hchafer In the outfield, to which he has been a stranger all season, and put ting llerzlg at third. It is not certain, however, that the switch weakened the Plant defense In spite of Bchafer one costly mlsjudgment of a drive which Snodfrass mttfhrhUve converted into an out Herrog played a stiff game at third bsse and, shone brilliantly In one play, which would have helped Marquard out of a. bad place Jn the fourth inning If the succeeding, batsmen had not deliv ered timely and long hits. That Was when he took- a throw from Marquard on Btnink'a bounder and battled with taker's spikes In a close play at third with such success that he earned the verdict from Umplio Hasan. Captain Doyle, the other Olant cripple, was In the game all the way and made two of the swats off Bender, altbsr'h his injured shoulder was expected to in terfere with his batting. Giants' Defense the Uetter. Off the slab the defense of tha Ulants was better than that of the Athletics, all things considered. Barry made the only error tabbed for either side and was excused from a near error in another round. Baker missed a chance for a double ploy by an inexpensive wild throw attor tagging out one runner In the ( fourth. The Olants did not overlook a bet in the fielding, barring Schafer'a in stantaneous mlsjudgment. Ilut in spite of Barry's Dad day the Athletic short stop came through with tha swellest kind of a play in a pinch and averted a tie score with the assistance of Bddlo, Col li hs. That came off In the seventh in ning when the Mackmen were leading by a margin of a single run and the Giants were far from being beaten; They had runners on third and first, with only one out and the strong batsmen coming up. Fletcher, whom McOraw has made to think he Is a potent swatter, was at bt and smote a vicious bounder to short Barry negotiated It perfcctely and shot the bait to Collins, who made a difficult pivot brilliantly and completed a double play, wiping out a run 'which woud hays tifed the score and might' have turned' the scale. Conditions Were Bad, The game was played under conditions which militated against attendance and the best kind of base ball. It was densely cloudy and threatening all day, and there were periods of drizzling before and dur. tng the combat It was so dark that the batsmen were able to see speed with difficulty, yet both Marquard and Bender hod good speed. In spite of the condi tions, New York fans turned out early and In such numbers that they forced the closing of the grandstand ticket win dow before noon, with the call of "play ball" more than two hours away. Aftr 11:40 only reserved seat holders were ad mitted to tho grandstand. Before the came started every gate except one, through which belated box holders passed, was closed, and It requorcd a strong cordon of policemen to keep the disappointed throng outside from stoim ing the entrance. The outsiders deployed themselves In a huge circle surrounding the park and heard the game, even If they could not see it Band Cpneert n Novelty, While the big crowd of general admis sion fans was trying to appease Its hun ger with Improvised lunches a brass band of JOO pieces relieved the long wait with, iv musical concert, whleh was an innovation at world's series An hour before the pastime the Olants and Ath letic emerged from their clubhouses in r. tody and flowed onto the arena with the Mackmen in front and thcMeOraw Ilea following. This was the signal for a tremendous paroxysm of enthusiasm relieve the tedium of waiting.

Big Chief Bender, the Athletics' wonderful hurler, seen as ho ap pears to tho batsmen just after having sent tho ball speeding toward tho plate. preliminary practice started at once and and kept the rooters busy cheering. Then came the presentation of the Chalmers automobile to Jake Dnubert, winner of the trophy for the National league. The nrooklyn first baseman whs brought onto the field In tho motor car (hat was to be given him and was greeted with loud applause when disembarked In front of the grandstand. The Olants, headed by McOraw, came out of their coop and congratulated Dnubert and then lent him their support while Hugh Chal mers of Detroit was presenting the car to him. Thin Just preceded the fielding practice of the two clubs, nt the con clusion of which a sentimental touch occurred. Ntnnd Up for Anthem. As the big band finished Its part ot the entertainment It played "The Ktar- Spangled Banner," and before the few measures were rendered the great crowd rose as ono man to Its feet, doffed Its headgear, whllo even the players stopped their warming up and stood with bored heads while the nation's anthem was be ing played. In the same connection It was notable that In the great array of pennants nnd bunting at the Tola grounds there was no American flag In sight The umpires conferred on ground rules. which were comparatively simple, at there! was no overflow; the nthe game. started with r roar like a thousand Niagaras as the Giants,. flpcked our to their positions a.:d Kddle Murphy strodo to the bat The men of McOraw were first to score In the third inning, andt heir run was duo to an excusable Juggle by Barry while fielding a slow hit on the run.

After waiting for three rounds, the Ath letics got to Marquard for fair In the fourth. Collins opened the attack with a clean triple over right center and before the Rube could stop them tha men of Mack had landed on him for a single, a double and another three-bagger in that rpund, the combined results being three runs. Marquard stopped that rush by brilliant play which robbed! Bender of a hot single straight back over the slab. With the Bowlers Fairmont Creamery UeoEue, ' PUIUTAN BnOILEUS. 1st M. Sd. Total.

When the Giants and the Athletics min gle In the opening battle of the big cam paign you will probably see a long, loose-hung, dark skinned athlete, with a good nutured smile and hair curling speed make things uncomtortabla for our boys by virtue of his achievements In the pitchers' box. At other times you probably observe him Stamllnir hunk nf oltliar flr nr 1 1. 1.1 base, soft-tongued and smiling, as usual, j but none the less making things un- , comfortable for the Olants. Only In this case his work would be visible to. anyone but McOraw and his battery. They will be uncomfortable enough to make up for any peace of mind that you may preserve through Ignorance ot the situation. We will not keep up the suspense any longor. This Is a portrait of Charles Al bert Bonder "Chief" Bender one of the greatest pitchers that ever llvtd and un questionably the greatest signal thief In the history of base ball. With ball play ers It Is a question whether he' Is more dangerous In the box than on the coach ing lines. The Cleveland outfit maintain that they would rather have him in the box than camping out around the bases with his keen black eyes watching, watch ing every move and every ball. Indian a "Tipping; BnreaB." They roared an almighty roar after the opening series this spring. The Cleveland players charged that Connie Mack had a "tipping bureau;" that he was cor ruptly possessing himself of the strategy of other clubs and so on. But It was only the smiling Indian with his keen oyes and quick mind. You know there are not many things to signal about In a ball game, and con sequently the number of signals required Is small. For Instance, the catcher sig nals the pitcher only for a "fast ball" or a curve, with an occasional signal for a wide pitch where there hj a prospect of an attempledMteal. But these signals are all Important. Batting Is a good deal guesswork. The pitchers mix fast balls and curves In such a manner that the constant change of pace on the ball Is exceedingly baffling when the batter must depend entirely on his eye. You can see what a tremendous advantage over the pitcher it gtves him if tho man on the coaching line Is sig nalling to him before each delivery Just what sort of a ball he can expect So managers ate very careful to make these signals as unobstruslve and hard to .detect as possible. They must all be changed whenever a player, leaves to go to another club, and In the American league they have' to be changed fre quently on account of Chief Bender. The Chicago White Sox. for his especial heneflt, have developed a complicated double system of signalling between pitcher and catcher which requires a double confirmation before any given signal becomes effective. Thus, while the catcher may signal for a curve. tht pitcher desregards It until the second signal confirms or switches the order. So far they believe they have headed Bender off. Stopped Olants' Stenltna. Those who saw the last world series between the Athletics and the Giants will never forget how the Philadelphia defense made a farce nt the Olants' speedy and tricky work on the bases. The few times they essayed a double steal Collins cut off the throw and nailed the man either at the plate or back at third by a doxen feet or so. They might also remember.

Probably Bender had something to do with that, too. But tho long-llmbed Indian would be worth any amount of salary to any club without his uncanny ability to unravel signals. When he Is at the top of his form there Is no right-handed pitcher in the country who can spot himanythlng in a gome of base ball. Matty beat him In the opening game two years ago, but In the analysis of the pure pitching work Matty did not come off with any honors. After that he beat the Olanta twice. In 1905 he gave the Gfonts their only lacing In the world's series. Ho hasa tremendous speed and a-sharp- breaking curve, nerves of steel wire and a heart of Ice. Nothing ruffles him. He Is Impervious to "guying" from the coach ing lino and his soft-tongued converse tlon and deliberate movements have shaken the nerve, of many an experienced batter In the .crisis of a big, gome; , The chief Is different from many, pitch ers In that he loves a crowd. The big ger the crowd and the more vital the game, the happier he is, and the better he pitches. He frankly likes applause. He likes to get out before 35,000 'fans and tie world-famous batsmen In halt-hitches for the pleasure of the populace. And If the crowd appears to be In New York or Chi. cago it doesn't make any Idfference to the chief. He unities and pitches and in equal parte, and neither the smile' nor the pitching Is ever disturbed. "They 'tell me you con hit speed, son," he remarked to Snodgrass, with a beam ing smtlexend then he put three over In the groove that hit Thomas' glove with a soUnd like caressing a feather-bed with a -plonk.' But there is a whisper through the league that the Olants may get revenge j this fall. - The chief has not been "going good." as ball players say. He doesn't seem to be able to last out tho nine lnn Ings with his old strength and certainty, But none of these students of affairs are willing to gamble on this development LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 7.-(Speclal.) Beginning with hard practice tontght which , Coach Stiehm put the varsity through, the week will be the hardest and most trying of the season. While Nebraska's showing was pleasing against Washburn, It also disclosed many weak nesses In the team play. There will be no letup. In scrimmage from now Until a week from next Wednesday. Stiehm Is not expecting much difficulty In defeating the Kanras Aggies, although tho team is made up entirely of veterans. He will work the Aggie game in as a part of tho program In preparation for the Gophers. Bill Johnson, the coldred end, who was a star for three years, has reported to Coach Stiehm to assist tn the coach ing for the Minnesota' srame. Jnlinon' addition given Stiehm a formidable ar ray of assistants, lncludlmr Sam Whit. former Princeton star: "Tate" Matters,- Earl (Dog) Eager, Shonka, Johnson and John Westover. White and Johnson will Pay special attention to the ends, Mat ters, Westover and. Shonka In whipping the line Into shape and Eager will keep a line on tho bockfleld men. Minnesota does not play next Saturday, Williams desiring to give the squad a long rest after hard games with South Dakota university and the Ames Aggies. The coming week In the Gopher .camp will be a light one, mostly In running through the formations Williams intends to usa In the Nebraska game. Stiehm will also work out new formations this week for tho benefit of the Gophers. Minnesota's squad is freo from injuries, while the Cornhuskers are still crippled from tho early season scrimmage. The total attendance for the game last Saturday was 1,200, which Is a very good opening mark. Had the weather been more favorable Stiehm is confident the mark would have been much higher. Four thousand seats are left for the Innesota game, counting today's orders. Stiehm and Reed plan to accommodate a still bigger crowd. If all of these are disposed of. The athletics departments of Morning side college at Sioux City and a rand sland have written Stiehm for games with the Nebraska reserves on Turkey day. As the Missouri Valley conference rules prohibit the scrubs, as well as the varsity, from playing on Thanksgiving day, Stiehm will have to answer In tho negative.
