So great is the change that several who were very fa- miliar with the old arrangement would not believe but that lot of new material had been placed on exhibition. The new cases made possible by the removal of the District Library has given room for interesting displays.

during the series were the Giants able
TO pull the ball through the territory

Barry and Collins was given as the cause
for the loss of the series.
While Eddie Collins has always received
the praise his great work deserved, Barry
has never received the consideration his
play merits. Only those who see Barry
day in and day out are able to appreci-
ate his short-stoppng. He is off at the
crack of the bat, can go to the right or
left with equal ease and agility and has
a wonderful arm. He is thus able to
make plays look easy that would be diff
cult for the average shortstop
THE Giants will run wild on Thomas
and Lapp.' was a favorite slogan Of the
National League supporters. The Giants
did not run wild. Thomas and Lapp
proved more than equal to the occasion.
The Giants used a fake start the pur-
pose of which was to get the Athletic
pitchers in the hole through pitch-outs.
Early in the game the echcme worked
we'll. but the foxy Thomas soon solved
the puzzle. By watching the base run
ners closely he discovered they assumed
an entirely different crouch when they
really intended TO steal. AS result the
fake start worked to the advantage OF
the Athletics, instead Of the Giants. In
stead OF pitching out, the Athletic twirl-
ers got the ball within the strike ZONE,

Mack's brilliant trio-Bender, Coombs

factors in the Waterloo of the Little

The successful ball club is always do
ing the unexpected. Such ball club is
the Athletics. When you're looking for
them to bunt they crack at the ball.
When you're planning to break up the
hit and run, they invariably lay down the

st. Louis team summed up the style OF
the Athletics in a few well chosen re-
marks one day last summer
For six innings the Browns had held
the Macknen runless. With a three-run
lead and the pitcher going well, it looked
as if the tailenders might get away with
the game. In the seventh the Athletics
spoiled the whitewash by bagging run,
and in the eighth they added two more
