today defeated the New York Giants
by the score of 4 to 2
The American league champions
opt played their opponents on all
points of the game. They hit Math-
ewson harder than he mad ever been
beaten in a worlds championship
game, the hits came when they meant
runs. Bender. on the other hand,
pitched steady effective game
throughout. In no inning, except the
first, were the Giants able to bunch
their hits.
In the opening inning the visitors
scored their only runs on single a
triple and an infield out.
After this inning they gathered five
hits.
The local team started on Mathew
son in the second inning when Muir
ply and Barry each singled.
The Waterloo came in the fourth
when successive doubles by Baker,
Murphy and Davis and infield outs
netted three runs
This seemed to un-nerve the Won
derful Mathewson and lie was not the
same steady, deceptive twirler that
the Athletics have batted against IN
the other games
Mathewson retired in the eighth
inning to allow Becker to bat for him
and Wiltse finished the game with
one hit being scored against him.
