 Premier Exhibition of Batting.
 The batting by the Athletics today was one of the finest exhibitions of offensive playing seen at Shibe park in q long time. New York scored one run in the first inning, but the Athle- tics tied the score in the third inning, won it in the fourth by making four runs and clinched it in the sixth when they added another run.
 Seven Runs In One Inning.
 Not only this. but they simply crushed the Giants in the seventh in- ming by making seven hits which with a couple of misplays added seven more runs to the total The sensa- tional batting of all the pitchers the New Workers sent in to the box rous- ed the crowds to the greatest en- thusiasm. With victory in their grasp the Athletics appeared to let down and when the seventh inning was over the cheering thousands start ed to leave the grounds.
 Three Pitchers Slaughtered.
 The struggling National League champions sent in three pitchers to ~stem the tide of defeat but all were hit pretty impartia1y. Wiltse got the worst whaling The other two were Ames, who started the game, and Marquard, who followed Wiltse. Thirteen hits for total of 17 bases umn when the game was over.

 former made 8 timely sacrifice that helped to score run. When the game began today Catcher Thomas was the only member of the White Elephants" team that had not made a hit in the series. He got into the hit Athletic players themselves cheered him for at last getting to a pitcher. Murray of the New York team is the only one of it's regulars who failed to bat any Athletic pitcher in the series for a hit.
 Bender's Best Performance.
 To "Chief'' Bender, the wonderful Chippewa Indian twirler, goes the credit of pitching the final victory His work in the box surpa ssed the ex- hibition he gave in the first game on the Polo grounds in New York. Three singles and 2, double in as many in- nings were all the New Works could garner off his delivery. @
 The Giants Two TalIies.
 The two base hit was made by Doyle in the first inning and he scored later when Murphy muffed an easy fly. From this time, however, the Indian was never in trouble. New York got g single in the third and one in the fifth inning. in the ninth Ben der appeared to let down and Her Zog hit him for d single and subse- quently scored. It was the third game Bender had pitched and his second victory in three days
 Some Phenomenal Fielding.
 Notwithstanding the heavy batting by the Athletics and the fact that a total of eight errors were made by the two teams. the game was a bril- liant one. Numerous plays were made which brought the cheering crowd to it's feet. Devore, New York's left fielder, robbed Lord of a three base hit by catching his long fly in center field after great sprint Baker and Davis made sensational running catch es of foul flies and Collins electrified the spectators by 8 stop and a. throw of savage grounder back of the second base that no one thought he could reach. The Philadelphia team was charged with five errors and all Of them were made on the easiest kind of chances. Two of New Yorlx's three errors were wild throws which practi- cally started their downfall.
 Smallest Crowd Of Series.
 The crowd which saw the Athletics win the championship was the small est of the series, numbering 2O,485. But what it lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm. There was little noise until the third inning when the Athletics tied the score and when the home team found the ball in the fourth
 
 never a cessation in the cheering. Every local player was given a. round when he stepped to the plate, rank errors were overlooked and at length the Athletics so far outclassed the Giants with the stick that there was a concerted yell of derision' every time an Athletic was thrown out by a New Yorker.
 MacInnis Makes Last Put Out.
 The fourth inning was noisy but it was not a circumstance to the up- roar in the seventh when ten Athletics stepped to the plate to take a crack at the pitching. A bit of sentiment shown by Captain Harry Davis was cheered when he sent the injured Mo Innis in to the game in the ninth in- ming. "Stuffy'' made the last putout and officially figured in the series. '.Chtef' Meyers of New York also re- tired near the end of the game in fa- vor of Wilson. probably for the same reason.
 Nine Hits, il Runs In Two Innings. Before the game began it looked as though Plank would be the pitcher and there was some surprise among the fans W.l sn Connie Mack sent Bender into the box. The "chief proved that (continued on Page Three.)
