victim. 1t was Tinker to Collins to Davis
for the first out. Killing popped to Bender.
and although Overall hit the ball hard
Barry made a nice stop of it and threw
| him out. The Athletics were no tame
cats in their part of the third, however.
Lords hit went away over Holman
| head. and, as recited, that would nave
been a real homer but for the ground
! rule. However. let us take two bases
when we can get them. Collins made one
of those perfect short sacrifices. and 1t
was Chance to zimmerman again. Baker,
another strategist. singled to lett, ana
I'm came Lord. Then there was a con-
sultation of all the infielders except Elm
on the subject Shall we derrick Orval?
| Connolly broke up the debate by remind
ing the consultants that the afternoon
was waning. so they went back and let
Orval stay in. Harry Davis Tanned
Lord made a dash for second, but the
ball Overall sent was a pitch-out, ana
King whired to Tinker, getting the rum
ner by large margin, however. Ath-
letics, 5; Cubs. o.
Again just three Chicago men offered
at the ball. Barry threw out Sheckard'
Schultz walked. Hoffman famed. high
/ one close in with all sorts of burning
speed doing the trick. While Chance was
| at the bat Schultz thought he'd steal sec
! ond. He didn't. Thomas to Collins. and
| all off.
McIntire Comes In.
1t was McIntire the Athletics faced IN
the fourth. and little profit they got OF
| it. Murphy and Barry rolled out on IN
| field grounders and Thomas famed. The
! fifth inning was brief indeed. Chance hit
| toward Collins Goodnight. Zim and

| that. McIntire made Bender Whit. Strunk
walked. but was caught stealing. and
Lord famed, so McIntire looked very
good still
Bender started the sixth by wavering
little. He pitched three balls to Tinker
Then he put two across and offered
third that was SO good Tinker had to
swing. 1t was long fly. easy for Strunk.
Killing then retired after fly to Murphy.
Bender found all sorts of corners for him
and for McIntire. who famed.
For the Athletics Collins opened by hit
ting straight at the pitcher. McIntire de-
fiected the ball and Tinker got II. lie
made a fine throw TO first. and Columbia
Eddie was out. Applause anyway from
the crowd. They think well of Collins
i'm Philadelphia. Baker and Davis gave
no trouble Bender pitched some more
great ball in the seventh. Barry attended
to Schultz. Then he put over three balls
and then he struck Schultz out. The In
dian whipped over three bad ones to Hof-
man. Then came two strikes, HOFFMAN,
about them. The next one was terrific
smash to Baker. He held on and got it
over to Davis in time. There was nice
piece of work.
Sheckard ran back mile or so for Muir
phys long fly in the Athletics part of
the seventh. 1t was regular worlds
series catch. Barry rolled to Chance.
Thomas had only to wait while four balls
were pitched. Bender took great Mnge
at the ball and spa.shed toward Chance.
The r. l.. merely grinned. gathered up
the ball, walked a step and made the out.
For the eighth time Bender had only
three batters to deal with when next the
Cubs came up. Chance couldn't get by
Collins, although his hit was sharp and
deep. Tim famed. Steiny popped to Ba-
ker. Two Athletics went out very easily
in their part Of the eighth. Zim and Frank
took care of Strunk. and Lord flied to
Artie out in center. Eddie Collins got a
base on balls.
1t only shows how little YOU can tell
about things. Mclntire's first throw over
to the bag almost got Eddie and Chance
looked unutterable thing at O'Day when
he said safe. Mac. old boy tried il again,
but unwisely. The ball went away to the
left of the first baseman and low. and the
next thing any one knew Collins was on
third. He did 100 yards of the reel In
102-J seconds in college. so he can go
some. Baker blaZed another one of those
long hits, sending it far to right away
over the crowd. 1t struck just about
yard below the top of the fence. else there
would have been a home run to record.
1t was comforting to note the way the
Athletics provided hits when there was
any one on base to bring in. Collins
scored. Davis rolled to McIntire.
How really little YOU can tell about
things was shown in the Cubs final lick.
Here was Bender pitching a one-hit
game apparently and every one roofing
hard for him to get away with it.
Tinker, the first man up, sent out
| short foul, which Thomas got to but
couldn't hold 1t struck the end Of his
under it. That was the beginning of
things, though Tinker hit savagey over
second base and Strunk came running IN
to back up on the ball. 1t got away
from him after he was set in front of it
and Tinker made two bases. Kings single
to the outfield. almost in the same place
i as Thinkers. not only spoiled all ideas
of a two-hit game, bat sent in Tinker.
Only three more runs to get. good Chi
cago batters coming UP and no ONE out.
Bad, very bad Johnny Kane went into
run for King and Beaumont was sent
to bat for McIntire. Beau picked out the
worst possible spot for his drive. He sent
| it rampaging at Collins, who just gObbled
it up and tossed it to Davis. Sheckard,
sometimes a hitter wesnt yesterday, in the
pinch He famed. That's better. Gloom
again when Schultz walked and two were
on with two out. 4 great chance for a
big hit of some sort. Holman hit hard and
straight at Baker. He was equal TO it,
gathered up the ball and touched third
for a force of Kane. Then Baker and
Bender race To see who should
get the ball and Bender got it. The score:
