 The game was a peculiar one. It pro- duced more hitting than any of the pre- vious games of this series Mathewsoa was simply knocked into cooked hat, tho majority of swats made by the Athletics going for two. bags Sensational fielding, sensational in spite of the errors made, prevented the Athletics from scoring enough runs to win hat full of games.
 line game started badly for the Ath- letics. Devore. first up, singled. Just as the Athletic rooters were grooming deep ly, Doyle, second up, pasted the hide to the far corner of left field for a triple. Devore scored. On snodgrass' long fly Doyle scored,
 In the first inning Mathewson struck out three men, and from all appearances a New York triumph was certain.
 But in the third Baker opened with a double, and Murphy's double scored him. Davis pitched in with a double, and Mur- phy counted. From third, Davis scored on a fly out. The game was then con- cuded to all material purposes. True, the Atheltics added one other run, but it was entirely superhuous.
 There is no doubt at the present time but that the Athletics will win the series. They are two games to the good, having annexed three straight victories. The first game of the series was won by New York, following a magnificent pitching dael between Mathewson and Bender. Mathewson, while pitching exceedingly well, drew the big break in the luck. B,lt for that break in the luck, which fell

Game Brilliant

In the Sour games so far played neither Murray Of New York nor Thomas of Philadelphia have made a hit. Aside from the exceptional exhibition of hitting, the game was replete with brilliant fielding, both pitchers being backed up in fine style. Herzog and Fletcher for the Giants and Collins, Barry and Baker for the Athletics put up a dashing game
 Baker had a throw that was q little wide charged to him and Fletcher fum- bled a grounder in his hurry to scoop it up and shoot it to Merkle.
 Captain Davis and Merkle also fielded their positions brilliantly.
 No attempt was made by either team to steal bases.
 Meyers tried to go from second to third on a short passed ball, but was out on a good throw by Thomas. Once Murphy was on third with two out and in trying the hit and run game Barry slipped a cog and Murphy was caught between third and home.
 | The crowd filled Shibe park but it ! did not quite como up to the attendance of the first day. The figures given out | by the national commission showed 2i S55 paid admissions or a total of 126,13S for | the series. The crowd was most en- i thusastic one.
 The home players. having the advan- i tage of two victories to one for New York, had the confidence that they would ] take the next game and the Athletics were heartily cheered when they made their appearance.
 Baker, of course. was the hero, and he threw the crowd into wild burst of enthusiasm when, in practice, he drove q ball out of the grounds.
 The game was cleanly played. Snod- grass who had demonstration against himself for the spiiing of Baker in the second game at New York on Tuesday last, went through the game with only a few hoots and hisses aimed at him. This was on his second time at the bat and was not generally taken up by the crowd.

 faur trips to the plate he rapped out q single and two doubles. but none of his Aits asured in the scoring.
 The sensational Baker came to time with a Lair of two base hits out of three times up and Murphy broke loose for the first time in the series and laced out two doubles that set the crowd wild with cheering.
 Davis There
 Captain Davis, substituting for the in- jured Mclnnis, also was in the thick of the battle pounding out two base hit ip the big fourth inning when the Ath- letics passed New York by scoring three runs. It was in this inning that the greatest exhibition of hitting yet seen in the present worlds series was given. The cnly men on the Phladelpnia's team that did not get into the hit column were Cldrine. Thomas and Bender. Oldring and Thomas, however, each had a sac rifice. Bender hit the ball to the infeld 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 Devore, Doyle and Fletcher showed best at the plate. De- wore got two singles in four times up, Doyle smashed a triple in three times al bat and Fletcher had a pretty pair ot singles in spots, but only Deyores hit and Doyle's three base drive figured in New Yorks scoring.
 New York started out like q winner ill the first inning. Devore reached first on an indeld tap and came all the way hume on Doyle's triple to right center. The New Works second baseman prop ably would have gotten only single on his hit had not Oldring slipped in the soft turf of the outfield, the ball elud- ing 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 Yorks scoring.
 The two run lead looked big to the New York partisans, but the fighting Athletics kept begging away at Mathewson. There were chances 10 score in the second and third innings, but it was not until the fourth that the American leaguers show cd their real batting strength.
 Baker, who struck out the first time up caught one of Mathewsons outside curves and drove the ball to left center for two bases Murphy smashed a two bagger 10 left sending Baker over the plate and Davis brought the spectators to their feet by driving a double to right field, sending home Murphy with the tic ing run. Davis moved up to third on Barry's out and came home on Thomas sacrifice fly to Murray.
 In the fifth inning Collins singled to right and came all the way home on Bakers two base hit to right center It was a great exhibition of running and his headworll coupled with fleetness won him a round of cheers.
 This gave the Athletics their fourtk

Earl Belts Drowned.

Monday afternoon, at a
point on the Little Kanawha
river near the Beuts home
stead about three miles be-
low Grantsville, Earl Belts,
the 16-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Belts was
drowned. He had been
working in the field adjoin-
ing the river, with Gay Ker-
by, a boy about his own age
and becoming very warm
decided to take a plunge in
the river to cool off. Tie
Kerby boy went ahead with
his work, and after waiting
considerable time for Earl
to return went to the edge
of the river to look for him.
Finding his clothes on the
bank and being unable to
get an answer when he call
ed, the Kerby boy at once
ran to the house and gave
the alarm. He ran from
there to Cabots factory,
where he told of the tragedy
and practically all the work.
ers there ran to the scene of
the drowning, where the
body was Immediately re-
covered, being found in wa
ter not more than four feet
deep.
Doctors Morford and Pick
ering FASTENED to the scene,
in hopes that life was not
entirely extinct, but their
efforts were unavailing, the
body having been III the wa
ter more than an hour.
The family of the de-
ceased are almost overcome
with grief and the terrible
shock of his untimely and
tragic death, especially Mrs.
Belts, who is almost incon-
solable, and they have the
heartfelt sympathy Of the
entire community, who knew
and loved Earl rs a manly,
courteous and loving boy.
He will be greatly missed.
Fenton BetJs, a brother
of the deceased, was work
ing at Akron, Ohio, and
Undertaken H. H. Robey,
of Spencer, was called to
embalm the body, that the
funeral might be postponed
until Fenton, as we'll as OH
err relatives, could get here.
