Scf£e: ' R H E New d 2 1 3 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.

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.

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.

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. , DAILY AMD SUNDAY $6.00 PER YEAR. 01 ORDER 10 EXHUME BODY POISONED GIRL Does Bath Robe Buried With Miss Linnell’s Remains, Con tain Cyanide Receptacle?
