GIANTS WERE CRUSHED

Philadelphia, Oct. 27.-The Philadel
phia Athletics are champions of the
world for the second successive year.
In an exhibition OF batting seldom
seen in a premier baseball series, the
American league team defeated the
New York Nationals yesterday in the
sixth game of the competition b. the
overwhelming score of 13 to 2, They
thus have the four games out of the
six played needed to carry OFF base
balls greatest honor. 1t was more
than a mere defeat for the Giants"
IL was a rout.
The batting by the Athletics yester-
day was one OF the finest exhibition Of
offensive playing seen at Shibe park
in long time. New York scored one
run in the first inning, but the Ath.
letics tied the score in the third
inning, won it in the fourth by max
ing four runs and clinched 1t in the
sixth when they added another run.
Not only this. but they simply crush
ed 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
sensational batting of all the pitchers
the New Workers sent into the box
reused the crowds to the greatest
enthusiasm. With victory in their
grasp, the Athletics appeared to let
down and when the seventh inning
vas over the cheering thousands
started to leave the grounds.
The struggling National league
champions sent in three pitchers to
stem the tide of defeat, but all were
hit pretty impartially. Wiltse got
he worst whaling. The other two
were Ames, who started the game,
and Marquard, who followed Wiltse.
Thirteen hits for a total of II bases
was the total shown by the hit col.
lmn when the game was over. Every
member OF the team got a hit except
Collins and Bender, but the former
made timely sacrifice that helped
TO score a run. When the game be-
gan, Catcher Thomas was the only
member of the white Elephant"
team that had not made a hit in the
series He got into the hit column
N the seventh inning and the Athletic
players themselves cheered him for
Il last getting 10 a pitcher. Murray
# the New York team is the only
one Of its regulars who failed to bat
my Athletic pitcher In the series for
4 hit.
To Chief Bender the wonderful
Chippewa Indian twirler, goes the
credit OF pitching the final victory.
His work in the box surpassed the ex-
nibition he gave in the first game on
the Polo grounds in New York. Three
singles and double in as many In
nings we're all the New Yorks could
garner on his delivery
The twobase 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 single in the third
and one in the fifth inning. In the
ninth Bender appeared to let down
and Herzog hit him for single and
subsequently scored II was the
third game Bender had pitched and
his second victory in three days. Not
outstanding the heavy hitting by the
Athletics and the fact that total of
eight errors were made by the two
teams, the game was a brilliant one.
Numerous plays we're made which
brought the cheering crowd to its
feet. Revere, New Yorks left field
CT. robbed Lord OF a three.base hit
by catching his long fly in center
held after a great sprint. Baker and
Davis made sensational running
catches of foul flies and Collins cleo
trihed the spectators by a stop and a
throw OF a savage grounder back of
the second base that no one thought
he could reach. The PHILADELPHIA
team was charged with FIVE errors
md all OF them were made on the
easiest kind Of chances. Two OF
New York's three errors were wild
throws which practically started
their downfall
