DEAD AS BAKER STRIKES OUT Philadelphia. Pa.. Oct. 9. Overcome with excitement while watching an electric scoreboard yesterday after

noon, John Bherrlck, 48 years old, collapsed on the sidewalk, expiring a few minutes later at the entrance of St.

Joseph's hospital. The second Inning was on. with Home Run Baker at bat. Sherrick was an enthusiastic rooter for the home toam, and as Baker stepped to the plate with three men on bases and the score nothing to nothing ' he let out a mighty yell for the man .who caused history to repeat itself at , the opening game Tuesday. "Give us another home run, Baker; clout It over the wall." screamed Sher- ; rick. j As the electric scoreboard repro-

"Here we are," said Manager McOraw, "but we are badly battered." nodding toward Merkle and Meyers. "Who's going to pitch for the Giants today?" some one asked the New York leader. i "Well. I should say that any one of my remaining pitching Ftaft looks good enough for me in comparison with what our opponents have left to pitch

against us," McGraw replied cheerfully. The Giants went to their homes to rest for today's game.

The Athletics broke after that and allowed two more runs to score on an error, a batsman hit, and another single, but the extra two tallies proved unnecessary. Mtahewson did this in front of a team which looked hopelessly crippled when., tha battle started. Two regulars were out of the lineup and two were playing out of position.

New York's baseball heroes, conquerors over the Athletics for the day at least, arrived here from Philadelphia early last evening and ran Into a misty rain and a welcoming delegation of several hundred fans.
