ToEchsrles Albert Bender. the Chip
peWa indian pitcher and to Frank Ba-
ker. the third baseman. the Philadel-
phia team largely owes It's victory. The
Chief never showed better form than
he did when he faced the Chicago men
this afternoon. Bakers valuable con-
tribntion was his hard and timely HIT
ting On the other hand, the American
champions found Overall rather easy,
and after the third inning Manager
Chance was compelled to retire The star
pitcher, and he sent Mcintyre into the
oox. The latter promptly stopped the
Athletics and held them without a hit |
until the eighth inning. when Baker
landed on one of his curves for ter
rihc smash TO the right field wall for
two bases.
