by q score Of to o.
1t was Bender, the Indian pitcher, who
handed McGraw and his splendid play
ers the championship of the world.
Twice in the fifth inning and once in
the eighth he gave men their bases on
balls. And this placed men in the posi-
ton IN the fifth where a long sacrifice
fly brought in run, and in the eighth,
where a bunt fumbled for an instant,
sent Matty' home with the super
fiuous run that must have been proud
one for him.
