Philadelphia 4 11 1
Philadelphia.—Clear, cool weather
with a brisk wind from the north
west, making overcoats necessary,
were the weather conditions when the
fourth game between Philadelphia
and New' York for the w'orld's cham
pionship began at 2 o’clock. Both
teams were cheered as they took their
turn at practice. Devore, left fielder
for New York, who was reported sick
this morning, was in uniform among
the Giants and if he was ill this fore
noon he gave no evidence of it in
the w'av he cavorted around the field.
Baker the Hero.
Frank Baker, the Athletic’s home
ni n hitter, appeared to be the hero
of the crowd. The playing field still
showed evidences of the rainstorm.
The New' York team took the field at
1:40 p. m. for their preliminary prac
tice. During this period Ty Cobh, the
champion batsman of the American
Deague, was presented with an auto
mobile which he was given for this
high honor. The Athletics came out
for their practice at 1:43.
Play ball was called at 2 o’clock
sharp.
Fan s Happy at Last.
Philadelphia, Pa.— Tens of thousands
of baseball fans were made happy
when they saw the clear weather to
day for the much postponed fourth
game between the Philadelphia Ath
letics and the New York Giants in
the series M the championship of the
world.
There was no "flare hack" of the
weather of the laat sir days and after
an enforced rest of a week, the two
champion hall teama will meet on
Shlbe Park this afternoon.
The playing field is still somewhat
heavy.
Fresh Wind.
, While the day Is fine, it 1= 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 r_ m. the gorvernment weather
bureau thermometer registered 50 de
grees with the prospect that It would
fcrow very little warmer.
The bright weather brought out the
fans early. Before 8 o’clock there
were several hundred In line at Shlbe
Park waiting for the bleacher gates to
open. The line grew longer everjfmin
ute. and by the time the gates were
opened shortly after 9 o’clock there
were about 2,000 persons congregated
about the entrances. All reserved
Dehf Mule Weepingly Pleads Guilty lo
Swearing at Wife With His Fingers
St. Joseph, Mo.—Pleading guilty to swearing at hit wifc In the elrn
language, August Carrado, a d«af mute, was fined 119 yesterday In
police court. He was charged with using "loud and profane" language,
tut when hauled in c.urt it was learned that, he could not hear or speak
Th“ word loud' was stricken from the information and he plead guilty
In writing to the charge of using "profane language toward his wife, who
is also a mutt. When he wrote the word "guilty" he wept.
seats were sold before the first game
was played a week ago yesterday, and
another crowd that will tax the cap
acity of the big grounds will, no doubt,
be on hand when play begins.
After Week’s Rest.
Both teams are in fit condition. The
week's rest has tuned up the men, who
were on the verge of staleness, and
has enabled the Pitchers to get back
their strength for strenuous box work.
The wounds inflicted upon Frank
Baker, the sensational batsman of the
Athletics by Center Fielder Snodgrass,
of the Giants, are almost healed and
will give the third baseman no trouble
today. The "Charley horse" that First
Baseman Merkle of the New Yorks has
been carrying around with him is also
disappearing.
Mack May Switch.
The battery probabilities today ara
Mathewson and Meyers for New York
and Bender and Thomas for Philadel
phia. There has been no intimation
from Manager Mack or Manager Mc-
Graw ns to whom they will use. It is
said that if the weather remains cold
this afternoon, Mack may switch front
Bender to Coombs, who is a good cold
weather pitcher. In that event Lapp
will be sent in to catch.
The scries now stands two victories
for the Athletics to one for New York,
and the baseball experts declare that
today’s game is more important to
New York than to Philadelphia-
Should the Athletics win they would
have to get only one more victory to
capture the championship, while New
York today would place them on an
even footing and greatly strengthen
cofidence of the team.
May Lise Becker.
Left Fielder Devore, of the New
Yorks, is reported sick today with a
slight stomach trouble. It has not
been announced whether he will be
in or out of the game, but several of
I the members of the team said t hat if
Devore is unable to play, Becker, a
utility man, would be sent to the out
field.
The bleachers began filling rapidly
after 1 1 o’clock and as big a crowd
as saw the first game here yesterday
a week ago is expected.
The police today ordered removed
stands erected on roofs of houses sur
rounding the grounds. These stands
were so crowded at the last game that
tuu authorities feared an accident.
FIRST INNING.
New York—Devore reached first on
an Infield single. Bender diverting the
ball, but too late for Barry to handle.
Doyle drove the first ball pitched to
right center for a triple, scoring De
vore. Snodgrass flied to Lord, Doyle

the ground shake with their yells.
Murray retired at first, Davis unas

ed balls. Two runs.
Philadelphia—Lord fanned on three
balls, the first one being a foul. Old
ring also 6truck out. Mathewson
struck both men out on seven pitched
bails. Collins singled to center. Ba
ker was given a rousing cheer when
he came to the plate. Mathewson
and Meyers held a conference and It
looked as though they intended to
pass Baker. Baker struck out on wide
ones. No runs; one hit; no errors.
SECOND INNING.
New York—Herzog lifted a fly to
Oldring. Fletcher drove a single over
Barry’s head, his first hit of the se
ries. Meyers’ high fly dropped safely
between Baker, Bender and Thomas,
but Fletcher was thrown out at sec
ond, Thomas to Collins. Mathewson
rolled an easy grounder to Bender
and was opt at first. No runs; one
hit; no errors.
Philadelphia—Murphy drove the
ball over temporary fence in right for
two bags. It was the first hit he had
made during the series. Murphy took
a long lead off second and Matbew
son, in attempting to catch him,
made a wild throw to Fletcher, Mur
phy taking third. Davis dropped an
easy one In front of the plate and
was thrown out at flrat on a very
close decision, Mathewson to Merkle.
It was a jyetty play by Mathewson.
Murphy attempted to steal home, but
Barry missed the ball and Murphy
was caught and run down by Meyers.
Barry made an infield single. The
ball rolled along the left field base
line, Mathewson and Herzog waiting

FIFTH FIGHT OR
LUMBERMEN'S
“BLACK LIST'
U. S. Gov’t. Beqins Suit Again
to Break up the So-called
Lumber Trust.
CHARGE DETECTIVES WITH
SPYING ON INDEPENDENTS
Bill Alleges Many Acts of Al
leged Conspiracy. Wicker
sham’s Ass’t. in Charge.
St. Paul.—The government's fifth
suit in its fight to break up the so
called lumber trust was begun in the
United (States court here today.
It i* directed against the following:
The Northwestern Lumbermans’ Asso
ciation; The Lumber Secretarys Bu
reau of Information, an Illinois cor
poration already under fire in another
suit against the "trust” brought in
Colorado.
Luke W. Boyce, owner of a private
detective agency at Minneapolis,
Minn., who is charged with spying
upon independent lumber dealers who
are said to have violated the trade
“ethics” laid down by the ’alleged
trust.”
Organ of Trust.
The Lumberman Publishing com
pany, a Minnesota corporation which
issues the Mississippi Lumberman, a
trade journal which the government
charges has been the organ of the
"trust” in that section.
Platt B. Walker, of Minneapolis,
editor of that paper, is made a de
fendant as are also the following
members, officers or directors in the.
Northwestern Lumbermens Assorts
tion: M . R. Wood. Par ker, S. D.;
Chas, Webster, Waucoma, Iowa: Wil
lard G. Hollis, Minneapolis; Geo. F.
Thompson, Minneapolis; C. M. Porter,
Oskaloosa, la.; E. G. Flynn, Minnea
polis; O. M. Botsfoid, Winona, Minn.;
W. 11. Day, Jr., Dubuque, Iowa; M. T.
McMahon, Fergus Falls, Minn.;; C.
A. Finkhine, Ilea Moines, and John
W. Barry, Cedar Rapids, la.
In the East.
As in similar suits now pending
against the Eastern States Retail
Lumber Associations, the Michigan
Retail Dealers Association, the Col
orado and Wyoming Lumber Dealers
Association, and the Lumber Secre
taries’ Bureau of Information, 14
members of the latter organisation be
ing under criminal indictments charg
ing violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, the government alleges
that the lumber trade has been un
reasonably restrained by illegal agree
ments and understandings which pre
vent the consumer from buying of
whom and where he will; which abso
lutaly forbid competition for trade
and which have difided the country
into non-competitive territories. It
also alleged that names of lumber
men who have violated the "ethics”
have been published to the trade in
the Mississippi Valley Lumberman.
Charge Conspiracy.
The bill alleges many acts in pur
suance to an alleged conspiracy cov
ering several years and that some of
them were perpetrated and in form
ceased several years ago but each
act is allged to have been part of a
carefully devised plan by which first
one restriction and then another was
fastened upon the lumber trade and
when once fixed was to all appear
ances abanloned and substituted with
the one less iniquitous.
The government asks Injunctions
restraining all these defendants from
continuing the acts of which com
plaint is made. The suit is in di
rect charge of Clark McKercher, spe
cial assistant to Attorney General
Wickersham.

SUMMERVILLE AND AUGUSTA AT THE PART
ING OF THE WAYS.
Tlmmlay’s elation in the Village of Summer
ville will decide the question of whether or not this
growing JUK | important section of the city will in
reality and officially become a part of the Greater
Augusta or whether it will continue its separate of
liei.'il existence. A careful «tndy of the situation that
confronts both Summerville and Augusta leads in
evitably to the conclusion that it will lie for the best
interests of both the village and of the city to com
bine forces for the future of the two communities.
For Summerville to decide to stay outside of Au
gusfa means to take the wrong turning in (he part
ing of the ways that now confronts the voters of the
village.
Briefly, more and more people will live in Sum
merville as the years go by- people from Augusta
ami from a distance are year bv year swelling the
population of the village until it is a village now no
longer but one of tin* most rapidly growing of Geor
gia cities.
-
increased population means more water, inofe
lights, more streets, more police protection, more fire
protection, more sewerage. Summerville even now
needs all these things and will continue to need them
more and more as the years go bv. It will he good
policy for Augusta Greater Augusta to furnish these
things to the most rapidly' growing section of the
city. It will lie impossible for Augusta and her
people to continue to furnish even the meagre assist -
anee it is now giving Summerville in these matters, if
the voters of Summerville decline to come into Au
gusta for the future.
The situation has been care full} canvassed by
the Intendant and the Village Council, one of the
most, careful and business-liki administrations the
Village has ever had, and their advice to the voters
of Summerville as to the advantage of the Village
taking the necessary steps to bring about a more
beneficial and closer union with Augusta ought to
have due weight when the ballots are east on next
Thursday. ,
