The Philadelphia Athletics Won the
world championship by taking the slNtl
game from the New York Giants this
afternoon by a score Of 13 to =
Ames. who started the game in the
hex for the Giants threw Giants hcpas
to the four winds in the fourth IN
ming when with two men on bases ne
threw toward first on Barry's bunt that
he had felded and hit Barry on the
head. The ball rolled out to left teld
while Murphy and Davis scored
Then Barry went all the way home
on Murray's wild return of the ball
TO second base
But it was in the seventh inning that
the Athletes ran wild around the course
scoring runs. They made a farce
out of Wiltse efforts to hold thenl-
They hit almost everything offered
and the Giants added to the. comedy
with costly errors.
Even Marquard, who relieved Wiltse
when the inning was tWo-thirds gone
let two men score on a wild pitch
Then Thomas got his first hit Of the
series.
The burlesque was ended when
Thomas tried to steal second
Eight men faced Wiltse in this
half and six of them got hits
To the spectator it seems as II all
the Athletics were scampering around
the bases without fear OF being
caught.
The crowd saw it was over and
started to leave the grounds singing
and cheering
first inning when Doyle scored after
reaching second on a double. He
crossed the plate on Murphy's muff Of
Nurray's fly The Athletics evened
the score in the third inning.
Ames passed Thomas and Lord dou-
bled into right field, Thomas scoring.
The lead of four runs secured by the
Athletics in the next inning was too
much for the Giants and with Bender
pitching great ball. the New Workers
had little chance to repeat their SEN
sational performance of yesterday by
tying the score. Wiltse, who relieved
Ames in the fifth inning appeared for
the first during the series
The game was marked by instances
OF brilliant fielding by both teams.
Collins. in the second inning prevent
ed a score by Herzog when he made a
pickup of Meyers hot grounder and
registered the third out of the inning
bv throwing to first. Devore wound
up the scoring in the fourth inning by
getting Lords long fly after 4 hard
run. 1t was as brilliant 4 piece of
FIELDING as has been seen during the
worlds series.
The iron man. was the subject OF
many rumors today over the serious
ness of the injury he received in yes
terday's game One report had him
dead.
Coombs Not Badly Hurt.
Coombs. when seen in bed. said in
the sixth inning his cleats caught in
the hole in the pitchers box When
he delivered the ball he felt terrific
iar. The pain was intense. and espe-
cialiy on the right side. but he kept
on pitching. In the ninth inning he
had to quit. Rupture of the intestines
is what killed DR.. Mike Powers, catch
er for the Athletics, several years ago
