Philadelphia 6; new york 4. NEW YORK, October 7. In a game replete with hard hitting, Sensational base running and fast infield work the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds today by a score of 6 to 4. Marquard, knocked out of the box in the fifth inning, was replaced by Crandall, who in turn gave way to Tesreau in the eighth. The Giants opened the scoring in the third, scoring one run when Merkle beat out a hit, was advanced to Becond by Marquard, and scored on a hit to right by Doyle. Home Run Baker came back in the fifth with a homer, scoring twice for the Athletics. New York in this inning woke up to the seriousness of the situation with the score of 5 to 1 against them, and beat in three runs. McCormick batted for Marquard, who was to be replaced at the first of the sixth by Crandali. The Athletics displayed their true batting ability for the first time in the fourth, when Collins and Schang tripled, which, with a single by Baker and a double by Barry brought in three runs. Crandall, who replaced Marquard in the sixth was touched up for three high flies all of which fell safely in the hands of a Giant outfielder. The Giants likewise left the plate in one two three order in this inning. The Giants failed in their efforts to tie the score in the seventh. With one man out and two men on bases Doyle hit into a double play retiring the side. Collins scored again for the Athletics In the eighth beating out a bunt, going to third on Baker's single and scoring on a double by Mclnnis. POLO GROUNDS, Oct. ?. As the Athletics and Giants took the field at 12:55 o'clock for the first game of the world's series, thousands of men and women were still pouring through the various gates. Dark clouds prevailed. The Giants began playing catch. The Athletics lined up to bat. Eddie Collins hammered the ball against the right field wall, Rube Oldring smashed one into the left field seats, then home run Baker belted one into the right field stand. If the purpose of this heavy artillery practice was to get the goat of the Giants, it seemed to succeed to some pxtent. Batting Order.

THOUSANDS GATHER FOR FIRST CONTEST NEW YORK, Oct. 7. A great cai lamity could not have saddened New I York more than did the appearance of ' untimely weather conditions today. The greatest amouut of interest in a world's series combat usually centers , in the first game. The fans had paI tiently waited for the day that had . promised to bring them either a sight , of the game or detailed news of the i fight. I Yet at that they did not utter their I despair. Hope that the weather might clear sufficiently before game time to permit the staging of the combat, sent them scurrying from their homes at dawn to join the already big line that had waited outside the eates of the I Polo grounds all night, j A small army of sandwich men fed ! many of the hungry during the night, j When dawn came many in the line broke and hurried to near-by restauj rants to get some hot food and then ! hurried back to give their neighbors who had saved their places in the line a chance to do likewise.' i Fifty regular policemen and many ' specials stood guard throughout the night. At 8 a. m. 150 more regular . policemen were added to the protecI tive force, but their presence seemed hardly necessary. The crowd was orderly and quiet. At 9 o'clock the elevated trains, the subways and the surface cars jumped fans up against the polo grounds gates at the rate of 2,500 an hour and the fifty five ticket sellers at the windows j and the score of gate tenders rushed j the fans through into the grounds at almost an equal rate. Many boys who had stood in line nearly all night and who had no intention of buying tickets, sold their places in the front part of the line to late arrivals at prices ranging from $2 to $5. Just as the first woman in line Mrs. Maurice Hutchinson, of New York, squeezed her way into the big enclosure, ground-keeper Wm. Fabian and a squad of assistants, spread huge pieces of tarpulin over the infield and around the home plate. The rain had j not greatly affected the playing field, j doing little more than to settle the j dust, and it seemed a certainty at 9 a. j ru. that the game w ould be played if I no further raiu felL

On third reading council killed the bill for an ordinance for the improve-, ment of one block on South G between Fifth and Sixth streets by a vote of 6 to 5, the majority of the councilmen expressing themselves as believing that the improvement was not warranted since no houses abutted on the block. Upon motion of Councilman King, council voted to go on record commending the executive committee of the Fall Festival for the uoost given the city in conducting the successful event. The president of the board of works reported that the gas lines would reach the city next week. However, W. A. Bond, city attorney, said service would not be given before December 1, owing to delays in getting the (Continued on Page Two.)

It is the easiest contest 1 1 have been in since my first race for mayor.

I have made a good mayor and- I have nothing to be ashamed of, so why should I drop off the ticket?" This was Mayor Zimmerman's statement when asked today about the report that a number of prominent Republicans, convinced that the Republican ticket was doomed to defeat if Dr. Zimmerman continued as the mayoralty candidate, were to bring all their influence to bear on him to have him withdraw from the ticket.

SWINDLER OF ELKS S ARRESTED HERE New York Man is Caught Working "Hard Luck" Game Here. Because a member of the local Elk's Lodge had a post card from Meriden, Conn., warning the members to be on their guard against Thomas A. Mur ray, holding membership card No. 669, j Murray's plea for funds with which to get to Chicago led to his arrest by Sergeant McNally last night. j Murray arrived in town last evening at 7 o'clock and went to the Elks' club where he asked members to advance money so he could continue on his way to Chicago. When Murray presented his card which was the same as that given on the warning, police headquarters were notified. Mulcted Other. That he had been traveling over the country getting money from different lodges was the statement made by Murray after his arrest. He said a member of the Elks' Ixdge at Niagara i had cashed a check of f 25 for him on the First National Bank at Wallingford, N. Y. Although he had carried an account in this bank, he had no money in it when he gave the check to the Niagara Elk. A telegram from Secretary H. A. W. Prageman, of the Meriden lodge, who was notified of Murray's arrest, authorized the local officers to take Murray's membership card, and let the law take its course. The lodge at Niagara has also been notified, but no word has been received from it. Murray is being held for further investigation. E TAX RATE AT SPRING GROVE Citizens Increase Rate Five Cents Because of Improvements. The tax rate for Spring Grove was raised five cents upon recommendation of officials of the community at last evening's monthly session of the council. Many new street and other public improvements necessitated the raising of the tax rate for the ensuing year. The election committee of the council held a meeting shortly after the regular session and decided that a citizens' convention, to nominate a ticket for the November elections, would be held Monday evening, Oct. 20th. The city clerk, treasurer, two trustees and a marshal will be nominated by the mass convention. Party politics does not have much strength in the election of the community, but at times the preliminaries are hard fought. No person has started a campaign for the nomination of any of the officers at this time although it is expected that .n a few days the candidates will be in the field.

Lindley Says Students Are hot All Scholars
That a student is not necessarily a scholar was the general theme of a very able discussion given today to the students of Earlham College in chapel exercises by Professor Harlow Lindley of the history department. Prof. Lindley took up the proposition that it is just as possible for a farmer, a shop worker or a day laborer to have a deep insight into the truths and beauties of nature and politics as it is for the professor, the financial magnate or the man of leisure. In other words the matter of a man's occupation need not have anything to do with his particular aesthetic feeling or ability. Mutt Use Schooling. Prof. Lindley developed the idea that a real scholar is not the man who attends college and stores up in his mind an abundant accumulation of dry facts, but that the real scholar is one who can derive fundamental truths from college courses, which will give him a working knowledge of human nature that can be applied In everyday life. The real scholar Is the one who can read the things of the past, not with the idea of remembering the events for their own sake, but looking into th past with an idea of being better able to interpret the things of the prsnt and of predicting the things of the future. "Every man," said Prof. Lindley, "has a right to exercise his greatest Influence on his fellow men. and the realization of this fact should stimulate every man to get the very best information that is to be obtained in order that his influence may have the best effects on society. Giles Urges Friendship. Supt. Giles of the Richmond schools was present at the chapel exercises and was introduced to the students of the college by Pres. Kelly as a "Freshman" who has come to the city
