d. Yesterday afternoon before an audience OF 5000
people, The first game OF the series was played In
philadelphia about six weeks ago. and won easily
| by the Mutuals. The second, however, was won bv
the Philadelphlans who got the 'Mutes'' somewhat
demoralized towards the close Of the game and SO
walked right around them. The game yesterday
was by far Of mucn more importance than either Of
the other two, as 1t was to decide very important
question rs to the Athletics claiming the champion.
ship consequently both clubs went on TO the field
determined to do their level best and they
did il. The game in some respects was
one OF the most remarkable ever played

won by the Mutuals after most stubbornly con-
tested uphill fight at a time when everything was
against tnem and even their best friends had given
up all hopes Of their vanquishng their plucky adver-
sares. AT first the betting was very lively the odds
being one hundred to seventy-fve In favor Of the
Athletics. At the commencement OF the second In

and very soon began Offering one hundred to ten on
the game they began TO haul in their horns lttle

improved condition OF things for the Mutuals, found
any amount OF takers.
Had Charlie Mills not been SO severely injured
there would never have been any cause for the
great odds which were offered on the visitors, and
the Phlladelphians would not have went home SO
entirely "ceaned out" as they were. nor would the
New Workers have left the grounds 30 completely
loaded down with stamps as they did.
