Polo Grounds, N. Y< —With the
score 3 to 1 against them, the Giants,
amid uproarous scenes, this afternoon
at the Polo Grounds won the fifth
game of the world’s series hy a score
of 4 to 3.
Thirty thousand fans nearly went
crazy at the hair-raising finish.'
Polo Grounds. —Some thirty thou
sand spectators swarmed out to the
p*;o grounds this afternoon to see
the Philadelphia Athletics and the
New York Giants clash in the fifth
game of the world’s series. With
iliree victories already, won the Ath
letics came on the field determined
ta rpture a fourth contest and settle
die 1 * question of tlio baseball chain
pionship for 1911.
"If we lose we will go down fight
ing," said Manager McGraw. “If the
Giants can't win this series it has
been determined to mal*e a winter
trip to Cuba.’’
New York.—The New York Giants
are fighting in the last ditch today to
wrest the title of world's champion
ship from the Philadelphia Athletics.
With three victories out of four games
played the American league leaders
need hut one more to clinch the title
ter 1911.
The eve of the fifth struggle today
saw the same big crowd moving to
ward the Polo grounds and though
the home team seemed to have but a
bare change of victory, still there was
no lack of enthusiasm and interest
and the indications were that the at
tendance would he as large as at the
previous games here.
Four to One Against.
There was a dearth of betting, the
Athletics being regarded as the ulti
mate winners of the series and only
a few cared to take th* short end of
four to one laid against the home club.
Except for the fall chill In the air
the weather was all that could he ask
ed. The sun in a cloudlcas sky
shone in an atmosphere so clear and
dry that it made the players out for
plb'ly practice skip about the field like
, school boys. A day of clear weath
er had dried the diamond and the
horn® grounds showed conditions al
j most as good as on the first day of
| the series.
60 Per C e nt for Winn e rs.
Although under the rules governing
| the series, the players share of the
j receipts is limited to the four game*
already played, there was a big fl
' nancial consideration still to urge
' them. Today the players knew the
1 qxaet value of the stakes. Victory
. in the series meant the difference be
i tween $3,664 and $2,436 for each
player. Under the rule the victors
take sixty per cent of the total al
i lotted to the players.
1 "We'll be out ther® fighting today
Just the same,” said Captain Larry
Doyle, as the Giants captain came to
! the Polo grounds this morning. “True
we have used Mathewson to stop the
Athletics but Marquara is now our
'main d pendence. Ames also is in
good shape and if we win today we
can put him in tomorrow.
“It’s a Queer Game.”
We have not lost hope though
thing? don’t look bright; but you
never can tell in baseball. It’s a
queer game."
J Marquard has been carefully
, yoomrd for this contest by Manager
McGraw.
i Chief Meyers Is the most hopeful
'member of the home club, saying:
1 “If one club can win three straight,
there’s no reason why another one
can't."
"We are playing for today's game,"
declared Connie Mack. “If we don't
get it, we will try all the harder for
the game tomorrow I think we have
a good chance of winning the title of
world’s champions again. I really
can’t say who will pitch today. It
may be Coo,mbs and then again it may
be Plank. Morgan and Krause are
also good pitchers who have not been
shown In this series.
FIRST INNING.
Philadelphia—Marquard used great
speed and was inclined to be unsteady
and Lord had three balls and two
strikes on him when he drove a short
liner to left on which. Devore made
a wonderful shoestring catch. De
vore picked the ball off the tips of
the grass and the great crowd cheer
ed. Oldring went out on a grounder
to Doyle who made a pretty play on
the ball to Merit]'. Oldring broke
his bat in smashing the bail. Mar
quard eeemed slightly nervous and
Meyers went down and parted him om
the back. Collins was out. on a fly
to Snodgrass. No runs; no hits; no
errors.
Now York—Devore hit the first ball
pitched to Barry, who got his man
handily at first. Doyle hit a weak
foul which Baker captured. Snod
grass was given a big cheer when he
stepped to the plate. Snodgrass went
out by the Baker-Davis route. Davia
made a nice pick-up of Baker's throw.
No runs; no hits; no errors.
SECOND INNING.
Philadelphia.—Baker got a great
hand when he came to bat. There
was another cheer when Marquard
fanned Baker. Marquard’s speed was
terrific. ‘ Murphy singled sharply to
left. Marquard almost pinched Mur
phy off first on a snap throw. The
crowd jeered Umpire Dineon when he
called Murphy safe. Davis waited
Marquard out and then fanned. Mur
phy tried to steal second but was out,
Meyers to Doyle. No runs, 1 hit, no
errors.
N«w York.—Murray could not see
Coombs’ fast ones, and struck out.

the third strike completely fooling the
Giant player. Herzog singled between
Barry and Baker after Coombs had
two strikes on him. Herzog stole sec
ond. It was the second base stolen by
the Giants in the series. Fletcher
fanned and Coombs was cheered for
his better pitching. No runs, 1 hit,
no errors.
THIRD INNING.
Philadelphia. —Barry went out on a
grounder to Herzog whose throw beat
the runner several feet. I.*pp singled
over second, hitting a ball that was
far over his head. Meyers had Lapp
caught off first on a beautiful throw
but Merkle dropped the ball. It was
not an error for Merkle. Coombs hit
a grounder to Herzog, who threw to
Doyle but the Giant second baseman
dropped the ball in ills eagerness to
make a double play. With a man on
first and second Meyers went down
and talked to Marquard. Lord sent
up a high one to Doyle. Lapp, Coembs
and Oldring scored on Oldring's horns
run drive into the left field stand.
The crowd went wild and the Ath
letic players shook Oldring's hand as

smash unsteadied Marquard and Col
lins strolled to first on four wide ones.

was wide. McGraw sent Ames out
to warm up. Baker was out on a
grounder to Merkle, unassisted.

which bounded off Baker’s legs. Bick
er was sent to bat in place of Mar
quard. Becker shot a liner to Barry,-
who tried to double Meyers off first
but Davis dropped the ball. Under
ths rules ot the scoring Davis is not
credited with an error. Devore struck
out and Meyers was out attempting
to steal, Lapp to Collins. No runs, I
hit, no errors.
FOURTH INN.'NG.
Philadelphia.—Ames now went into
tho box for the Giants. The crowd
howl'd when Ames curved the first
one over for a strike. Murphy sent
UP a high foul which landed in Mey
ers’ mit. Davis was out when Merkle
took his grounder and ran to first.
Ames used a big drop and a wide out
curve in his service. Barry went out,

WHY NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN AND SUMMERVILLE’S
BEST INTERESTS TOMORROW ?
A vote against annexation means that Summerville
must either remain a village, with its discomforts and dan
gers and a gradual shrinkage in values to a village basis.
It meams to do away with the hope of future improvements
like the Bon Air and Partridge Inn and Country Club, and
to make garden plots and cow pastures for all time of vil
lage property.
It also means to prevent the development of other
garden spots and cow pastures into similar improvements
for the future.
The best chance lor an owner of a cow pasture to
sell it for a new hotel site, is to make Summerville even
more attractive and more popular and populous for the fu
ture. To do this, it should have the best of streets, water,
lights, sewerage, police and fire protection.
A vote against annexation means to depreciate the
value of your own property in Summerville and to add to
your own taxes and assessments, or to do without conveni
ences and comtorts that the future of Summerville de
