'CHIEF*! BENDER, "WHO HELD THE CUBS TO THREE HITS AND STRUCK
OUT EIGHT MEN.
Ho&j Tie Game Was Tlayed
Full Detail of Struggle Between Giants and
Yankees in Fourth Game of Series.
The fourth jam" of th° rcrieP between |
the Giants and the Yankees, at American |
| I
I League Park yesjerday, added fuel to the j
{ lively interest of the "fans." The detail !
; of th»» play follows:
Ford I'pgnn by Ftrikinrr out Devore ?tp i
the Giants came up for their first inning, j
while Doyle and Becker could do nothing I
i with the "mystery" ball, both ring at i
; flr.-t on e?un- chance? to Knicht and Ford, J
j respectively.
The Yankees far e d no better when they j
j went to bat for the first time, and retired j
j in order — TVolter or. n grounder to Brld
■ well. Hemrthill on a sizzling liner which j
! Devlin pulled down with one and. and ■
i Chaso on a little bounder, which Devlin t
■m fielded without it flaw.
The Giants started the fun in the sec- j
! ond inning by ring one run. After ;
i 1! ■'." Murray struck out. Brldwell, who
j was back in the gnme. although still limp
i inp. dumped a flow roller along the third J
| base lin' 1 for a hit. Devlin, with three '
i halls .... strikes called, put i:p a pop
fiy for Roach, but Merkle hammered the j
I Kill to deep centre for three bases and)
j Bridwell hobbled home. Meyers filed to
| Austin, leaving Merkle on third.
The Yankees came right back in their
| half and tied the score on a base on balls.
; a hit and a dc.u'>lf> steal. Devlin robbed I
] Knight of a hit by a brilliant stop and '
I quick throw, but Cree drew rr base on j
j balls and stole second as Roach fanned, i
j Devlin then made one of the most remark
a"ble and sensational stops ever s^en on a
diamond. Ho threw himself full length on j
th° ground and stopped Mitchell's hard hit |
| ball with his •.- oved hand, holding Cree j
ion third. Mitchell drew a throw, how-;
ijever, on a double steal, and while Brid- j
I well made a quick return, Cree scored, j
! Ford then filed out to Becker.
Ford fooled Crandall and Doyle in the !
'j third inning, striking out both, while De
, j yore put up a little fly to "Wolter. The !
1 1 Yankees were more dangerous in their '
half. Becker slightly misjudged Austin's j
: long fly and converted it into a circus i
catch. Wolter followed with a hit, stole
! second and took third on a bad throw to i
I second by Meyers, after Hemphill had filed '
;to Becker. He was left, however, as Chase i
j in <lodfrin:r a fast inshoot popped the ball j
; to M^rkie.
It was one. two, three for both teams in !
| the fourth, a dazzling catch by Bridwell j
j being the only play out of the ordinary, j
I He lost Knight's hiph fly in the sun hack j
•of short held, but -■.■•■.. of it I
jln time to lean over and grab the ball j
. with liis gloved hand.
The Giants took the lead once more in '
j their half of the fifth inning on hits by ]
j Merkle and Crundall and a wild pitch.
I Devlin flied out as a startfr, but Merkle
j made his second hit, the ball hitting third I
j base. Meyers put up a fly for Roach, but I
, i Mericl» look <>n a wild pitch. Cran- '
I dull tlit-n came along with a clean drive to i
I left field, scoring Merkle. The big pitcher j
I took second on the throw-in and third as
Devore. beat out an infield hit. Devon I
stole second, but McGraw held Crandall !
jon tiiird. which cost a run, as Knight j
j dropped the throw and had to scrabble for j
i the ball. With two m^n on, Doyle had his '
i chance to clean up, but he drove a ground
jer to Chase, who tossed th^ ball to Ford
>! in time to get the runner :it first. The |
. I Yankees went out in order in their half. !
, j Murray mado a hit In th«> f-ixth. but was
'caught stealing second, whilo Becker and
I Bridwell were easy. Tl>»> Yankees tied the
| score in their half, and only a wonderful
' j catch by Devore p.nd v sharp double play
' prevented more runs. W<»:t»-r I^l ( ,ff with

tional fashion. Cree slammed a liner to
ritrht field, which I>evor<* pulled down with
his gloved hand and doubled up Knipht at
first with an accurate threw to Merkle.
The Giants came right back with two
runs at the opening of the seventh inning
on throe stinging drive??. Devlin began
with a two-bagger that netted him three
bases on Hemphill's error and strolled home
on Merkle's third straight bit, a single to
rijrht field. The last named quickly raced
around to the plate on a drive to th«
fence by "YAk Chief" Meyers, which was
good for three bases. There was none out.
but Ford tightened up in a way to make
the crowd cheer. He fielded Crandall's lit
tle bunt to Roach and struck out Devore
and Doyle. The Yankees were powerless
in their half, Devlin making two clever as
sists and Laporte. batting for Ford, strik
inp out.
Hughes took Ford's place on the mound
on the opening of the eighth inning, and
while two of the Giants reached first—
Becker on an error by Cree, who dropped
a fly 'ail. and Hurray on a free pass—
damapre resulted. Both runners were
trapped off first and caught at second by
the quick work of Hughes nnd ChaSe. Brid
well made the third out on a grounder to
Knight.
The Yankees then went to bat and no?
only tied the score but took a lead of on"
run by getting three men over the plat© on
three hits and three errors. Becker dropped
Austin's fly as a starter. The latter took
third on Wolter's third hit and scored
as Wolter was forced at second on Hemp
hill's grounder to Doyle. The last named
stole second and raced down to third on a
low throw by Meyers to catch him steal-
Ing, the err like Becker's, proving costly
Devlin then mat one of the most sensa
tional plays of the day. He picked a foul
put up by Chase off the field boxes with his
bare hand after a long run, but partly
Bpolled it by a bad throw to Bridwell to
catch Hemphill at third, so that the last
named galloped home and tied the score.
There were two men out, but Knight beat
out an infieid hit to Id well, stole second
and put the Yankees in the lead when he
crossed the plate on ( '••<"•• '■ timely two
bagger to "ft Held, which Murray made a
desperate effort to pull down. Roach end
ed the excitement by flying out to Becker.
It looked like victory for the Yankees, but
the Giants fought on and tied up, while al
most winning, the game in their half
of the ninth. Devlin led off with a clean
singie, but was forced at second on Mer

with a bit to centre and a moment later
Merkle Stole third bane by a daring slide.

plate on Cree's accurate throw to Mitchell.
"Red" Ames was picked out by McGraw
to take C rand all's place in the box, with
Wilson catching, as th* Yankees came up

If Ben Franklin had wandered down
Broad street with a loaf o? bread under his

of the descendants of the stolid Quakers.
The town was baseball mad. The. excite
ment permeated to the heart of the city,
■where speculators lined the sidewalks,
Offering to buy or sell tickets to the cam-*.
All of the principal hotels were tilled to
overflowing, ami during the. morning
hours the corridor? buzzed with the sound
of many voices. Baseball ••magnates'' and
hush league players, has-beens and are-to
bes thronged the streets, discussing the
merits of the two teams and placing wagers
at the prevailing odds of K> to 8 in favor
of the Cuba.
Those who dilly-dallied away the time.
however, were the fortunate possessors of
reserved seats to the game. The peaceful
Phlladelphians had hours before, gathered
at the park to await the opening of the
pates. As early as § o'clock last evening
thousands wended their way to the grounds
prepared to spend the night. Among them
were many women. Several times the po
lice were almost mobbed by the waiting
multitude, and when the doors were opened
at 11 o'clock this morning there was a
wild rush for seats hi the bleachers, which
were filled in less time than it takes to tell
Crowd Overflows on Field.
By boob all available space was occupied
and the crowd surrounded the field many
rows deep. The display of armed force on
the field was typical of darkest Siberia,
and gave the Impression that players and
umpires were in imminent danger of their
lives. A hundred and fifty patrolmen by
actual count stood just Inside the rope
which ran around the field from first to
third base. They stood scarcely more than
a yard apart, forming an effectual barrier
by shutting out a view of the players for
those who by any chance came to the park
with the intention of seeing a game of
baseball. The principal duty of the strong
arm of the law seemed to be nothing more,
than to look graceful and playfully attempt
to catch fly balls which were knocked into
the crowd. In the mean time, hundreds
jumped over the fence at th«»lr backs for a
free admission.
The crowd that saw the game was not
the largest that ever attended a baseball
game in this •■-. The official attendance
was 26,891, and the total receipts $.",:.
124 50. Of. this amount the players will

As Chance's men came on the field they
were heartily applauded. The Chicago
manager and Captain Davis proceeded to
shake hands and pose for the moving pict

Both teams then went through a snappy
batting and ding practice, while the
partisans of both sides looked on with
admiration.
At 1 :55 o'clock a solemn, dignified, de- ;

number, ptroJe on the field. In spite of !

Bender Idol of the Hour.
Bender was the idol of the hour and re- :
ceived a tremendous ovation from the
crowd as. Inning after inning, he retired
the Cubs in order. He was at his best, and '
was Pimply invincible and unbeatable. The
Cubs seemed to realize this. Chance's m>»n

these, Tinker, scored, and saved the Cuba

JOHNSON TRIES HIS CAR
I Match Race with Oldfield To Be i
Five -Mile Heats.
1 Jack Johnson made his first appearance
as a racing driver before a large crowd of i
railbirds yesterday afternoon at the Shee;;."- j
head Bay track. Piiotting his big car, John- !
son cut the comers of the famous course
frith a? much reckless abandon as Barney ]
j Oldfield showed during his practice spins
i yesterday morning. Thos* who thought ■
' that the negro would cut off power on the '
j turns were disappointed, and several of '
Oldfield's admirers who were interested
j spectators gave the champion pugilist a
I better chance in the match race between
the two on Thursday.
Johnson posed for an army of photog
raphers and seemed to enjoy his death dar
! ing Ptunts as much as though he was dodg
ing policemen on the Boulevard.
Oldneld and Johnson iri^t lat» in the
afternoon at an uptown hotel and decided
j on the number and distance of the heats of
' the rare. It was agreed that Oldneld was
I to name the distance of the first heat, John
l son to select the distance of the second.
i nnd the third to be decided by the toss of
I a coin.
Barn said five miles would suit him for
j the first heat, and Johnson replied that as
! he had an engagement after the race be did
I not want to be detained too lonsr after he
I won. so five miles suited Jack. Ge^ree
Considine then proda^ed a coin and started
to toss it. "Hold on ther^." syoke up John
son; "'nothing like that for an o'.d crap
j shooter. We will decide this by rolling the
bones."
The champion thereupon drew a pair of
dice from his pocket and. handing one to
Oidfield. rolled the other on the table. He
tnrew a two. wniie. < . Hcineid tossed fi six.
"I'm losing at my own game at the be
ginning," was Johnson's remark. "Make
the third heat five miles also,'* said Old
tietd.
If Barney Oldneld wins, the daring auto
mobile driver will L-«»gin immediately a tour
of the country at the head of an athletic
combination, which was originally arranged
for Dries and upset by the former cham
pion's defeat at Reno.
