Y. these were matters of gravo public import In this city tonight. Also a cold or two, such as you might disperse with a man's size Jolt of rock and wliat uoes with It. but which had Inopportunely settled upon tho manly chests of MoMH-sCharlcK Hall and Duffy Lewis of Boston, was another matter for serious discussion, while tho condition of John Tones Meycrs's Inrge front too was .something to debate at length. Ready for Fray. Spcuklng as one mnn to another, both sides arc ready for tho fray, or If not they will lose a lot of money. The Boston Red Sox arrived tonight, and It Is announced that thoy arc In good shape, and Larry Gardnor will undoubtedly undoubt-edly play third base tomorrow nftcrnoon. Hla finger has entirely recovered from Its recent indisposition. This finger I tho one that has moved thu betting wide backward and forward of late, according to our host Information and belief. Wagner had a nail torn from one of his most useful fingers In the. last game the Sox played In Philadelphia, but the wound has boon carefully taped and he will be in there Khortstopplng. The colds accredited to Hall, a pitcher by occupation, and to Durrv Luwls, who makes a specialty of outfleldlng, are not serious enough to alter thn speculative market, which Is now quoted at 10 to S on tho Sox. Excitement Is Intense. To y that this volatile iele of IrrldeK-cencc IrrldeK-cencc la marely In a fever of excltomcnt, would bo Kroiwly misleading to the public pub-lic The temperature, takn at various l points tonight from th Batrerv to the Rr.-nix, ft cn' "slvcl that m addi tion half ' menu! fl4ii, ttie patn-ut li .is a ullght Pit to tie northward. wher J many ircirver of the populace torrs In restless slumber on the hard asphalt at this writing awaiting tho opening of the Polo grounds. Also, thoro seems to be a slight limp In tho language of many of our most prominent promi-nent citizens who find they will be unable un-able to secure admittance to the arena where tho New York Giants and tho Boston Red Sox will fight for tho championship cham-pionship of the world tomorrow afternoon, after-noon, and write about It for the newspapers news-papers afterward. Gates Open at 9. Promptly at 0 o'clock tomorrow morning morn-ing the gates will he opened, and Mr. Harry Stevens's representatives will patn among you selling copies of 1ho new Hudson Hud-son seal sandwich published by him for this particular occasion. This sandwich differs from the old-fashioned seamless ham sandwich in that tho fur In on the outsldo Instead of the Inside. As for tho Giants, they arc staying at their respective homes, having no othor place to go, and every member of tho club that could be located was all right at midnight, but anxious about the re-ccipLs. re-ccipLs. McGraw will undoubtedly take the fleld with Devore. Snodgrass and Murray planted In the outflolil. and probably prob-ably with Meyers behind the bat. His Infield will be as usual. The Impression still prevails thnt Christy Mathewson will pilch tomorrow, although tho old master lias not worked for more than twelve days. Probably Mathewson in First. This Is said to be tho. longest rest that the big blonde hat; had between games for years, and has led to tho rumor that McGraw Mc-Graw may lead off with Chur!s Mlzzourl Tcsrenu. tho rcnowed boar grabber, or Rube Marquard. However, the Giant chief dearly lovos thut first punch, and It Is a good bet that ho will try to get It over behind tho big train. The weather bureau Is dishing up a storm for Gotham. It has located a mo-teorloglcal mo-teorloglcal imi?H down south, and a bulletin tonight warned our home folks to gather tholr late crab apple crops at once. Cold woather might have a marked effect on the pitching. Charles M. Tes-reau Tes-reau Is very partial to plenty of fire In tho grato when he works, while Mar-quard's Mar-quard's expensive left arm Is best when the breezes ar crisp. Mathewson doesn't care what kind of weather ho work In, Just so It Is weather. J. Smoke Wowl will very likely be the gunner for the SUhlwarts, and a dark cool day would, bo a great dish for Joseph with his crackling speed.

Grouudkecper John Murphy fished a dozen youngsters out of various corners of the Brush stadium, whore they had stowed away with the expectation of remaining until tomorrow afternoon. Some of them had thulr lunchub with them. Hundreds of men were encamped at the Eighth avenue gates of th Polo ground all night and today while others bivouacked biv-ouacked on CougHu's Curious cliff and around Manhattan field adjoining tho stadium. The turn In the weather was no boost for outdoor amtisoments of that kind, either. Sandwich and coffee vendors vend-ors Tlld a rushing business among Die ardent fans.

Meyers haevy batting average will undoubtedly get him In the game, although al-though there Is an impression In some quarters that McGraw intends working Arthur Wilson, the Bloomlngton Beau Brummell with Tearcau, Arthur being more Inclined to aquatic pursuits than Meyers. Charles heaves several ounces of slippery elm when ho works, and Wilson Wil-son has acquired the knack of collecting collect-ing that kind of breaks. While tho prediction for tomorrow Is fair weather, tho bureau alleges that there probably will be rain Wednesday, which will leave the stage clear for any llttlo scandal that ha been unable to take root In the presont excitement. Last year the teams marked time In Phlla- delnbla for several fin vs. trlvlnrr rUn in many rumors. If Mathowaon will work tomorrow he will have had tho honor of pitching tho first game in three different world's champion contests. He opened In 1905 and last fall. McGraw believes in the moral offect of tho first victory. The winner of the opening gamo has been the scries victor in 1906. 190S nnd 1310. It would be -reopening an unpleasant subject sub-ject to speak of 1911. LYNCH CALLS MEETING; TO DENY FOGEL CHARGE By International News Service. NEW YORK. Oct. 7. - Thomas J.

Flcischmann. who is heavily Interested In the local National league Huh. Garry Herrmann, president of tho club, is in Now York, but Flcischmann savs Ghanco Is not wanted.

It Is probable the management proposition proposi-tion will be settled as soon as tho world's series 3 over. At present there Is no one In sight except O'Day.
