INNING

Oct. f7.-Frank Bakers war club
did IL again today. The sworld's
champion Athletics defeated the
Giants, 3 to z I'm the third game
of the worlds series. The turn i'm
the tide came In the ninth. Al
ways invincible, Mathewson had
blanked the Athletics through
eight desperate innings. One run
by the Giants in the third made
1t look like a sure thing. Hope
was almost gone when Baker
came up In the ninth. One husky
swat drove the leather into the
right field seats for a home run
and the battle was on again.
In the tenth tanning both Matty
and ''Iron Jack" Coombs pitched
masterly ball. Both teams were
on edge and neither could score.
In the nth Eddie Collins polsed
out a single to center. Baker was
there again with another and be-
fore the score board marks went
up both had crossed the pan. As
a last rally HerzOg doubled for
the Giants I'm the 1fth. Then
Becker, the former Boston home.
run hitter, went I'm to bat for
Matty. He delivered, and partly
by n tumble by Collins, Herzop
crossed the plate, but Becker was
too ambitious and was out steal
ing, and the game was done.
