Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1911-10-27
Now that all the players and noise is

over and one cannot be accused of
bias the series demonstrated that the
Giants are perhaps the worst team
that ever went into worlds series,
not excepting the White Sox that won
! it in 1906.
Two players, Meyers and Doyle, OF
the regulars, came through With fly
ing colors but the weakness of the
others was made painfully evident.
That they managed to stall off the
Athletics and win two games is a tri-
butte to their fighting spirit. Every
game of the series except that of to-
day was decided by luck. and bad as
they are and weak as the Athletics
showed them to be, they actually had a
chance to win. Luck gave them two
games. Luck took one from them and
never until today did the Athletics
strike their true gait and show how
they won the American League pen
nant
For two md half innings the luck
that pursued the Giants through the
series stuck 20 them A fly ball,
ball almost bit by accident, gave them
the first run and the leading in the
first inning, encouraging them, and
made it seem as if they would battle
it out to the seventh game
Leon Ames, who stopped the Ath-
letics yesterday, and made the victory
of the Giants possible, was pitching,
and until the third the great crowd
was frightened. Then base on balls
paved the way and Lords terrific
crash into right field evened it up.
Once tied there scarcely was a doubt
as to the result for Chief Bender, cool,
steady and smiling, was pitching
wonderful game of ball. There was
not much brilliancy in his work, he
was pitching to win the game and
cinch the series for Philadelphia, not
to give the crowd chance to yell.

score still even and both teams play
ing their best Ames was going good,
his curves were flashing and his speed
was great, but in second all the de-
Tense of the Giants broke. 1t was a
great play that broke it. Mack's men
had been waiting for the opening and
it came when Frank Baker, the hero
of the series. who before it started
was announced as the goat, banged a
hit to right. Playing the hit and run
purposely, Danny Murphy retrieved
himself for the first inning, muffed
and slammed line hit to center. The
hit looked as if it would go through
for a triple but Devore, no matter how
weak he may be otherwise, is fast and
he cut off the ball and stopped Baker
at third and Murphy at first. It was
that play that upset the entire series.
A moment later Harry Davis bunt-
ed and as he tore to first, straining
every tendon in his legs, Ames rushed
in and grabbed the ball and threw
wild to first. The ball hit Davis on
the shoulder, bounced off and the
worlds series was over to all intents
and purposes. For when Murray reach
ed the ball far out in right and on
foul grounds he cut loose perhaps
the widest throw that ever has been
made. The ball went sailing between
short and second and went on out to
left, DevOre dived at it but it went
straight into the left field corner of
the lot and before it came back three
more runs had crossed the plate and
victory cinched.
Frank Baker ought to be the hero
of the series. He was out of condition
and was not expected to play and has
proved tower of strength during tn,
entire series. Jack Coombs, 1t eevei-
oped today, injured himself seriously
in pitching yesterday.
The Giants went back to New York
on the first train they could catch
after the game tonight, sore and
disappointed crowd, with $4,000 each
to ease their feelings.
