East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-17

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. Il.
E even innings, three of which were
! the most grueling that have been wit
messed on the local grounds in many
| months were necessary today to de-
eide the third game of the worlds Sc
! ries, which the Philadelphia Ameri-
! can Athletics won from the New York
/ National Giants by a score of 3 to 2.
| Harry Davis, the veteran first
! sacker of the Athletics, who a few
/ days ago was reported to have lost
/ his old time dash, is the gentleman
| to whom New York is indebted for
! the drubbing she took today, for that
! substitute player repeated his per-
! formance of Monday by lifting home
! run into the bleachers behind the
! field. This occurred in the first half
/ of the ninth inning, up to which time
! it looked certain that New York's
! one score, secured in the third inning,
meant a victory of the Gothamites.
Up to this time Mathewson had
! been almost invincible holding the
| Philadelphians to nothing. In the
eleventh Collins and Baker each Sc
cured single, which with errors by
I played like novices, netted two more
/ runs for the visitors. New York Sc
cured an additional tally in an
eleventh hour rally, but was unable
/ to do more. Becker, batting for
/ Mathewson in the eleventh, brought
Herzog, who had secured two bag
/ ger, home, but was caught trying to
| steal and the game ended, with Phil
! adelphia having two games to her
| credit with New York only one.
