tons | ever had in baseball,
said Chief Bender after the game
- got Matty finally.
II don't know what was the
matter with me in that first
half. l guess | didn't warm up
right. Somehow | couldn't put
everything on the ball that !
wished to, and | never wanted to
do it so badly as | did in that
first inning. After that, though,
| never had the least trouble in
doing just what ] wanted with
the ball"
Bender refused to tell why
after the first inning he ran all
the way to the dressing rooms
instead of to the Athletics bench.
The chief is superstitious, and
when it was suggested that he
went in there to take away some
"Jinx" by a mysterious rite, he
said
II did something. but | won't
tell. Anyway. | didn't want the
boys to talk with me after they
put those two run over on me.

HUGHEY JENNINGS SAYS
HITTING THE FIRST BALL
WON FOR ATHLETICS

"Outpitched, outbatted and out
felded, the Giants yesterday were
decisively beaten by the Ath-
%letics.' said Hughey Jennings, of
Detroit. THE Mackmen solved
the delivery of. Christy Mathew
son, the one best bet of the New
York club. and for that matter,
of the National League. They
got to Matty's eurves for ten hits,
netting sixteen bases. / have
never seen this great pitcher hit
as hard since the days of the
champion Brooklyn club.
The Athletics continued the
plan OF attack they used against
Matty In the second New York
game, that of hitting at the first
ball pitched, provided it was a
good one. They had learned
that trying to wait out Matty,
with his fine control, was bad
baseball. In the fourth inning,
I'm which the game was won,
Good Night Baker, Danny
Murphy and Harry Davis all
took a wallop at the first pitch
Matty handed them. Each OF
them doubled and did 1t on eight
pitched balls. 1t was the same
in the fifth inning. With two out.
Eddie Collins thumped the second
ball for a single and Baker again
took a wallop at the first and
doubled TO the right field fence.
1.-THE Giants. on the other hand,
were practically helpless against
Bender after the first inning.
The chief had all his best curves
working in fine style and showed
his usual good judgment in
working a deceptive change of
pace"

on an empty stomach. And he made
a LOT OF other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
