Tables Turned in the
Championship Series.
NEW YORK SHUT OUT
And Philadelphia Makes Three Runs
sthe Score Being Exactly the Same
as That Of the Previous Day
Reversed. Costly Error
in Third Inning.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 10.-When two we'll
trained ball teams are pitted against
each other with the points covered by
men of acknowledged cleverness, there
is always a doubt as to the outcome
until the game is completed. The
truth of this was proven today, when
in the second game of the worlds
championship series the Philadelphia
champions of the American League,
defeated the National League cham
pionS on the Polo grounds. The
>IsltOrs put in their indian pitcher,
Bender, with Schreckengost to handle
him, against McGinnity and Bresna-
han. The visiting battery was ex
cellently supported, as was the local
end for two innings. But in the third
inning Gilbert made costly error,
which gave the visitors lead which
they never relinquished. McGinnity
was relieved in the latter half of the
eighth inning, Strang batting in his
stead, and Ames going into the box.
The change did not prove effective,
however.
In the third inning .Schreck sent a
grounder to Gilbert, who threw wildly
To first and the friends of the local
team gToaned when the batter was
seen. Bender made a neat sacrifice.
Hartsel tried TO send the ball to the
boundary, but.wa an easy out. Lord.
the next uD, was the right man in the
pinch as he singled to center. scoring
Schreck. Davis was thrown out by
Dahlen and the inning ended in favor
of the Philadelphias, who had tailed
one run.
Monte Cross struck out at the be-
ginning of the eighth inning. but
Schreck singled to left. Brown made
a beautiful long running catch of
Bender's foul fly Hartsel then
doubled to left. but the relay throw
from Mertes through Devlin to the
plate was dropped by Bresnahan and
Schreck scored. This was another
run made on an error. Then Lord
singled. bringing Hartsel in with the
final ruin Of the game.
