How They Battcd.

The Athletics batted at ~ 1922 clip
an unprecedented figure and fielded
.06l. The Cubs hit nearly 100 points
below this, or .234. ana felded $50.
The Philadelphians stole seven bases
to three for the Cubs Their pitch
ers struck out thirty Cubs, while the
Chicago twirlers fooled only eighteen
Mack men. Only In the matter of bas-
es on balls do the cubs lead the
Athletics. Coombs and Bender handed
ont eighteen passes, TO sixteen by
the whole staff of Chicago pitchers.
Mack could easily have won the
championship by tn. use of only ten
men. Hartsel and Lapp were put in
to the last game merely as a recog-
milton of their past services and not
because they were needed to supplant
Strunk and Thomas, both of whom
has played brilliantly in the preceding
games.
The weakness of the Chicago pitch
ers was the stone on which the Cub
bark was wrecked. They simply could
not check the Athletic batsmen, the
latter averaging II 2.5 hits a game,
making fifty-seven hits for a total
of eighty-one bases Even had the
Cubs had their old-time dash and
team play in evidence, they could not
have withstood such q bombardment.
But as they had neither of these
qualities the game stood on n slaugh
ter-pen flavor.
