ATHLETICS MAKE 1T THREE
STRAIGHT FROM CHANGES CUBS
Connie Mack's Men Excel IN Every DEPART
ment of Game Heavy Hitting
by Murphy and Barry.

CHICAGO, October 21.-The Philadel-
phia American League champions took
the third straight game from the National
League champion team here yesterday by
the score of II to ).
The Athletics outplayed, outhit and out
classed the local team in every depart
ment. Connie Mack's men made fifteen
hits off of the three Chicago pitchers, in
Guiding five doubles and home run. Da-
Wis shone with the hickory, getting three
hits, base on balls and was hit once in
five times up. The fielding of the visitors
was also excellent. not error being
charged against them during the nine in
nings.
1t was a dull, cherries day for base
ball. A stiff breeze from across the lake
made it decidedly unpleasant for both
spectators and players. Rain also fell in
termittently. After 1t started to rain in
the third inning the ball got so wet that
the pitchers and flelders had difficulty in
handling it, This accounts for most of
the Cubs errors.
Reulbach started out to pitch for the
Chicagoans. He lasted two innings, and
then Mcintyre took his place. The latter
was driven out of the box in the third in
Ming after the Athletics had slammed the
bali all around the lot. Pfeister took his
place.
The game was settled in the third in
ming, and 1t was really the most remark
able of the game. Besides seeing the re
tirement of Mcintyre this same round
noted the blackisting of Manager Chance.
He was ordered off the field by Umpire
Connolly because he disputed too ardently
a decision which gave Murphy home run
for a terrific hit into the crowd in right
field
When Chance was ordered off the field
after a wrangle which lasted ten minutes
and in which nearly every member OF the
Chicago team took part Archer went to
first base.
Unless some one of the Cub pitchers can
step in and show wonderful improvement
the series will be over today. The Cubs
have really shown a great reversal OF
form The comparison with the Athletics
is pitiful. The Athletics have changed
from a careful ball club into an agrees
sive one and everything they start to do
seems to have successful finish. The
dash and briliancey is all on the Ath-
letics' side and the Cubs are stopped.
Reulbach went to the box shortly after
o'clock. He was wildly cheered. He
walked the first man, Strunk. The crowd
auieted down, as Reulbach's weakness is
his lack of control. The walk was con-
yerted into a run when Baker singled
after Lord had sacrificed and Collins had
flied out.
Coombs made no better getaway than
Reulbach and passed Sheckard. Schultz
lined out a long double that ordinarily
would have been an easy triple but for
ground rules. Holman put up a sacrifice
fly and the score was tied. Chance famed
and Zim flied out
The third inning practically settled the
game. 1t was raining, but any kind of
going Is the same with the Athletics and
they made the Cubs look small by scoring
five runs.
Mcintyre, who had taken Reulbachs
place. did not last out the inning. South
paw Pfester was put into the box in his
place. But before that happened there
was a mighty wrangle over a hit into the
crowd made by Murphy, which Umpire
Connolly declared was home run. 1t
came at just the right time, when two
men were on bases.
Lord started off by flying out to Sheck-
ard. Collins beat out a nasty bounder to
Steinfeldt. Baker singled to right field.
but Schultz showed that the game was
getting on his nerves by letting the ball
get away from him, and Baker went all
