all New York today in the third game
for the baseball championship of the
champions and the American League
pennant winners. the visitors scoring
nine runs while the home team failed
to tally. The series now stands to /
in favor of New York. Mathewson
pitched another magnificent game, the
Philadelphians hitting him for only
four SingleS-the same number of hits
they made off him on Monday. Only
one home player reached second base.
Coakley, the former Holy Cross Col
iege pitcher, received poor support,
the American Leaguers putting up one
of the worst exhibitions of fielding
they have been guilty of this year on
the home grounds. Murphy was the
chief offender. He fumbled three
grounders at critical moments and
Hartsel dropped fly ball. The usual
good head work of the home players
was missing. New York played an
easy game.
New York started off with a rush in
the first inning, scoring two runs. but
excepting a muff by Hartsel of Nc
Cams fly in the third inning, they
went out in order in the second, third,
and fourth innings.
Events of the Fifth.

affair for the home rooters. Mathew
son went out on an easy gfouIder to
NJ. Cross. Bresnahan was gwen q
base on balls. Murphy fumbled
Brownies grounder, BreSnahan going
to third and Browne took second on
the throw to catch Bresnahan at third.
Donlin was purposely given four balls
filling the bases. Then Murphy fun
bled McGann's easy grounder, Bres-
nahan scoring. A single by Mertes to
right sent Browne home. Dahlen
forced MerteS to second on which play
Donlin scored and a moment later
Dahlen stole second while Coakley had
the ball. McGann scored the fourth
run of the inning on Devlin's single.
Dahlen going to third The Philadel-
phians signals went wrong as Devlin
stole second and Dahlen slid across
the plate with the fifth run. Gilbert,
the ninth man up in the inning, sent
a fly to Lord. Powers relieved Schreck
behind the bat in the sixth inning,
