PHILADELPHIA, oct 24.--Hittlng
the field, the Philadelphia Athletics
defeated the New York Giants at
Shibe park this afternoon for the
third successive time by the score of
to 2. and the American league
champions now need but single
game to again give them the worlds s
baseball honors for the second year
in succession.
The victorious team not only out
played the champions Of the National
league, but also outfieIdod them and
showed more alertness on the bases,
A Finely Played Game.
1t was a finely played game; sem
sational In spots. New York got the
jump in the first inning, and the ath-
letics came from behind, passed them
in a fierce onslaught In the fourth
and We're never again headed. Nearly
$4,000 persons witnessed the contest,
Mathewson, mainstay of the Giants,
was fairly crushed under the fusll-
lade of hits, and at the end OF the
seventh he retired in favor of Wiltso,
The latter pitched, but one inning
against the heavy hitting Philadel-
phia team and escaped with one two
base hit out of four men up. Ten
hits for a total OF sixteen bases We're
made off Mathewson in six innings
In the seventh inning he gave his
only base on balls to Baker.

Chief Bender, the Athletics sterl-
Ing pitcher, while he didn't equal the
wonderful game he twirled against
New York on the opening day OF the
series, was never In trouble except
in the first inning, New York got
but seven hits off him, only two OF
them coming In one inning. He
struck out four men and gave two
bases on balls.
In the opening round the top Of
the New York batting list Jumped on
the Chippewa in a manner that made
the timid ones fear that all was lost.
The great Indian settled down after
New York had scored two runs on a
single by Devore, triple by Doyle and
sacrifice fly by Snodgrass, and had
New York at his mercy practically all
the way.
Murphy sin" for First Time.
Barry, the brilliant short stop of the
Athletics. was the star man at the
bat In four trips to the plate he
ripped out single, and two doubles,
but none of his hits figured in the
scoring. The sensational Baker came
to time with a pair of two-base hits
out of three times up, and Murphy
broke loose for the first time In the
series and laced two doubles that set
the crowd wild with cheering.
Captain Davis. subbing for the In
jured McInnes, also was in the thick
Of the battle, pounding out a two
base hit in the big fourth inning,
when the Athletics passed New York
by scoring three runs. 1t was I'm
this inning that the greatest exhibit
ton of pitching yet seen in a worlds
series was given.
Bender Jagged nj the Bat.
The only men on the Philadelphia
team that did not get into the hit
column was Oldring, Thomas and
Bender Oldrlng and Thomas, how
ever each had a sacrifice. Bender
hit the ball to the infield In each Of
his four trips to the plate, but made
no attempt IN any case to beat the
ball to first.
For New York, Deyore, Doyle and
Fletcher showed best at the plate.
Devore got two singles In four times
up, Doyle smashed a triple In three
times at bat, and Fletcher had a pret-
ty pair of singles, but only Devore's
hit and Doyle's three-base drive fig
ured in New Yorks scoring.
Giants Start Like Winners.
New York started out like a win
ner in the first inning. Devoro
reached first on an infield tap and
came all the way home on Doyle's
triple to right center. The New York's
second baseman probably would have
gotten only a single on his hit had
not Oldrng slipped in the soft turf
OF the outfield. the ball eludlng him
long enough to permit Doyle to pull
up at third. snodgrass brought
Doyle home with long sacrifice fly
to Lord. This was the end Of New
Ycrk's scoring.
How Athletics Did IL.
The two-run lead looked big to the
New York partisans, but the fighting
Athletics kept pegglng away at
Mathewson. There were chances to
score in the second and third innings.
but It was not until the fourth that
the American leaguers showed their
real batting strength. Baker. who

struck out the first time, caught one
