Philadelphia, Pa, October 26.-
Fighting with the determination Of q
lion cornered and forced to make a
desperate struggle to get free, the
Athletics. American League champions
won the title OF worlds baseball cham
pions this afternoon at Shibe Park
This Is the second successive victory
Tor the Athletics over the representa-.
ttves OF the National League in a bat
tie for the highest baseball honors
To win the worlds championship Tor
1911. the Athletics this afternoon bat
tered to only a semblance OF a base
ball team the New York Giants, pen
uant winners in the National League
The crack OF Mack bats as base hits
rang out merrily ou~t-smothered Nc
Graw's hopes after the third ming OF
the contest, and the carnage continu-
ed until the NAL score stood l3 to . in
favor OF the Athletics. when the cur
tain was rung down on this wonderful
series of 1911.
Manager Mack certainly took a gam
bler's chance when he sent his remark
able Indian pitcher, Bender. TO the
moun to win this decisive game. But
how nobly the ''Chief" responded TO
the faith put in him is now a chapter
in baseball history. Surprise was APP
III WAS
announced as the twirler at the start
of the game. 1t had been generally

Plank would be chosen. First of all
Plank had not worked since Mond.y.

Indian Too Cautious.
Bender, on the other hand, is always
at his best after a God rest. He IAN

hard game then. co.. Now here lis how
Manager Mack gambled:
He sent Bender In to oppose the
Giants, knowing that II the indian
lost the series would be tied, and he
had only Plank, Morgan, Krause and
two young recruits to put in the bsx

nal and deciding game. Coombs was
in bed unable to walk as a result Of
an Injury received in yesterdays
game. Indeed, / hin Manager Mack

ace would show. Yet l want to
pay this tribute to Bender: it must
nave been supreme confidence in the
ability of the indian to win the game
and end the series which made him
the pitching selection.
When Bender started, 1 think he was
too careful.a He knew howNmuch de-
pended upon the cunning OF his good
right arm. He failed to get the usual
breaks" on his ball. and seemed to
be alarmed about his support, which

which the Giants scored In the first ir-

every ball the New Workers hit was O.

handle. Although during the first
