With Collins on' atter' a double Third Uasenian Baker today rapped out the first home run of the present world merles and gave to Conniie Mark's Ath letics the second game of the series after ' a match of baseball strategy that ranks with the best of any series In years. New York sinned three times and one of them was costly. Plank was on the pitching mound for Philadelphia, lasting the game out and offenlng benders that, as the game progressed, grew more and more mys tifying. Except in the second Inning the New Yorkers were at his mercy. Marqnard Displaced In Eighth. New York sent out Marquard to es say, the task of repeating but after . Baker negotiated the home run In the sixth, Macquard began to wobble perceptibly and was pulled from the hill in the eighth, Crandall taking his place. .The highly excited crowd of 34,000 was pretty much a Philadel phla audience and Baker and Plank are gods of the Quaker state tonight. Baker's homer went over the right field fence. The grand stand filled up slowly and the contest was still slower in getting under way. Every seat was taken, for 30.000 were on the ground when' the first ball was thrown and others kept crowding In during the contest, several seeing but, the final inning. ' . From the sixth inning on there was little Interest In the game for Plank settled down to such marvelous pitch lng that the lone hit in. the seventh ; registered by New York was the only matter of Interest. Marquard's wild pitch let 'Mack core Tito first run. . Except at the fatal Becond and sixth Marquard, too, was steady and It was a stralghtup pitchers tattle, with the home run and New York's errors thrown In as side Issues. The lineup was the same as yester day In the field. ' , " Philadelphia Confident Philadelphia, Oct. 16. With superb .confidence In the superiority of their world's champion athletes over the New York Giants, Philadelphia fans eagerly await the call of "play ball at Shlbe park. i Philadelphia s enthusiasm Is un dampened by Saturday's defeat. The weather Is gloomy this morning. ; If it does not rain Is is expected that thirty-four thousand will be squeezed Into the park, which seats twenty-two thousand. Baker Is reported none the worse for the spiking which he received In the game at New York Saturday. . - QUICKLY ARRESTED AS TRESPASSER: IN JAIL NOW.
