ATHLETICS PUT The
GIANTS TO ROUT
Continued from first page.

runs. and the turning point in the battle
was reached The Giants fought hard,
and never gave up until they were buried
under an avalanche of seven runs in the
fatal seventh. Even then they struggled
on in a hopeless sort Of way, but the
Indian ruled with an iron hand and
showed no mercy.
In winning his second victory Of the
series. Bender allowed only four hits.
He gave a better exhibition Of twirling
than he did in the pitchers battle
against Mathewson at the Polo Grounds
n. the first game He struck out Ave
batsmen and gave only two passes
Connie Mack trusted all to Bender, and
the Indian made good. Even j Frank
lin Baker. with his mighty home runs
earned no higher place in the great
struggle for baseball mastery
In every inning. with the exception Of
the third, the Giants got runner 70
first base. Errors were partly response
Bile for this state Of affairs. Barry's sec
ond blunder let Herzog reach first at the
start Of the seventh inning This was
before the Athletics had gathered their
basketful of TALES, and IL looked as
though the frame might be fruitful
one for the visitors. But Davis made
spectacular catch Of Herzogs foul, while
Bender frightened up and struck out the
dangerous hitting Meyers. as well as
Wiltse.
Ames lasted four innings, and. while
the Athletics only made four hits off his
delivery, they scored five runs. The
blonde haired twirler Of the Giants
issued only one rass and struck out four
batsmen a couple Of errors, however
were enough g. put him far in the ruck
and Crandol lated for him in the fifth
inning
Wiitsc started off with q world Of
speed, and retired Oldring, Collins and
Baker in order in the fifth inning, which
was enough to give most any twirler
confidence. but trouble was in stc~e.
Bad DrUbbing for Wiltse,
Snodgrass. who seemed unable 10 play
the centre garden at Shibe Park got the
: New York southpaw into difficulties at
the start Of the sixth inning by mis-
judging Murphy's fly and letting il roll 10
the fence for double. This. an out and
a sacrifice fly netted another run for
Philadelphia. Then came the seventh
and the deluge. The Athletics worked
the hit and run play 10 full advantage,
and as the hits came forth at the proper
times the runs were plentiful. Bender
was easy at the start Of the frame, but
the next eight men up hit safely, with
the exception of Collins, who got 10 first
on Merkle's error. After Barry had
doubled for the sixth hit Of the inning
Marquard was summoned to check the
rally There were runners on second
and third at the time The first thing
Maruuard did was 10 uncork wild
pitch. which brought both men home.
Thomas then got his first hit Of the
series. but died stealing for the second
out. while Bender struck out and ended
the agony
Lord opened the ninth with double
of Marquard and took third on sacri-
fee fy. but was held on the far station
while DOYLE threw out Collins. Mar
GUARD then took mild revenge for an I'M
happy moment in the second game by
striking out Baker.
The only members of the Philadelphia
team who failed to fatten their batting
. averages at the expense Of the New YORK
IIpitchers we're Eddie Collins and Bender.
.An the rest hit safely at least once.
Murphy was the king Of the nitters, with
four safeties in as many times at bat
one Of them being a double, while Lord
was credited with two doubles and a
single Bakers two hits were Of the
one base variety.
The game was not entirely without
sensational features There was some
sparkling fielding at times, but II was
lost in the medley Of free hitting and
errors Devore in the fourth inning
robbed Lord Of a three-base hit by a
brilliant running catch. while he went
back TO the fence TO capture high one
by Barry in the sixth frame. Larry
DOYLE made a couple Of line stops, while
Collins also set the crowd cheering by a
sensational pickup Of a wicked drive.
Davis and Baker both made amazing
catches Of fouls, picking them off while
running with the ball, and Oldring
showed Snodgrass how to play the CEN
ire field.
The hollowness Of the one-sided VIC
tory took much Of the enthusiasm out of
the crowd as the game drew to its close.
When the avalanche Of runs began the
cheering was wild and furious, but as
soon as the overwhelming nature Of the
triumph was realized those who had ex-
pected a hard fight stayed 10 laugh at
their fears. While many Of the fans
left the field after the seventh inning,
large majority remained 20 see the game
through.
Although the fine edge Of their en-
thusiasm was worn off. they swarmed
or the field Hundreds gathered in front
Of the bench Of the Athletics and around
tho dressing rooms Of the team TO cheer
the new champions. There were no
riotous scenes, however Those were all
enacted after Matty was beaten for the
second time. The fans were confident
after that game that the Athletics could
not lose the series, and they accepted
tC-day's victory I'm a matter fact way,
as though they were certain OF the end
