1t was 10 o'clock on the evening OF
the election in Ossian. About the
headquarters Of Walter Bedight the
followers of the victorious representa-

leader-and among the voters were
innumerable women who had fought

Allied Women's clubs, followed by a
bevy of workers. passed through the
crowd and sent In her card. The door
was opened to admit them.
Bedight came graciously forward. a
smile of welcome upon his face.

"STRUNK WAS SAFE"-MATTY.

Thomas explained T. quarrel among
the Athletics over the failure to send UP
pinch hitter in that memorable inning
In this way:
"Mack's judgment was the best after
all. Some of the boys wanted him to
send up Dan Murphy or some other

ME figured that as he had no other pitch
err warmed up IT would be taking big
chances to remove Plank from the game

rather precarious situation.
Merkle never fails to break into the
limelight in nearly every game of the
worlds series. Last year he failed to
get foul fly from Speakers bat. and
the final game of the series was lost.
The player who was made famous by
losing a pennant for his team by his
failure to touch second also got mixed

failure to hold On to Barry's little foul

double. He also booted gronnder from

letics' lead with home-run drive with
two men on the bases Merkle plays
good ball for the Giants during the reg
lUlar season. but he never seems TO have
any luck when the worlds title is at
stake.
There is but a remote chance of Crit

the Cincinnati club will retain Marsans,,

able asset, and as for Bates. 1t is not

eager Griffith will have to get out and.

realize his dream that the Nationals can
win the next pennant if he acquires one

Demaree Hit Hard. !.

He got rid of McInnis to begin with,
but Strunk almost tore Herzog's hands
off with sharp drive. Barry sent him
all the way to third with a single to
left, and took second himself on the
throw-in. Both runs scored when
Schang hit safely to center, and he
reached second while a play was at
tempted at the plate. Mclean helped
him to third with a passed ball, and
when Merkle fumbled Bender's ground
err he chased over the plate.
That wound up Demaree. and Mar
guard started the fifth. He opened au-
spiciously, striking out Baker, and he
also made Strunk look weak when he
threw him out at first But he tried to
get too much on the ball for Strunk and
the latter walked That gave Barry the
opportunity to distinguish himself. and
he came through with a double to left
which sent Strunk to third Schang
again proved the right man in the right
place. again singing to center, and both
runs trotted home. Bender ended the
round with weak roller to Marquard
These were the last runs the Athletics
scored In the meantime the Giants
were unable to do anything with Ben
der. He made the serious mistake. how
ever, of holding Merkle too lightly In
him three runs. Burns started this
round with hit. and after Shafer had
popped up to Collins. Murray tore one
into left.
Wilson struck out and Bender had two
strikes on Merkle. when he sent up an
easy fioater. which Merkle caught fun on
the trademark It sailed into left field
and bounded into the stands for horne
run. The Giants now had three runs and
they got two more in the eighth, when
Bender was hit hard.
Herxog opened this with hit. only to
be forced by Doyle. who hit sharply to
Collins, who in slipping after he got the
ball killed the chance for double play.
Fletcher, in turn, hit to Bender. forcing
Doyle at second hut another double play
was missed because Bender's throw was
wide and Barry had to stretch to get It.
At this stage Burns came through with
a double to left. and he, in turn. was fol-.
lowed by Shafer. who hit into right for
three bases. This put the Giants within
one run of tying the score, but Murray
sent a nice bonnder to Collins and the
was over.

Merkle's Errors Costly.

Errors, both Of them by Merkie were
costly. It was the failure Of the big
first baseman to catch Barry's foul fly
which gave the Mackmen their first run
and he gave them another in the fourth
when he failed to handle Bender's
grounder. But, Of course, there was
some hitting mixed up with this, for
there were few moments when Demaree
was able to fool any OF the batsmen who
faced him,
He got away luckily in the first inning
when Oidring tripled to right with one
down but was nailed at the plate by
Merkle when Collins hit grounder to
him. 1t was a rather close decision and
Oldring may have been safe In the
second, Merkle's error paved the way for
the first run. though this would not have
come up had McGraw not insisted that
the lame Snodgrass cavort In center.
McInnis hit little fly out there which
Snodgrass could not reach, because he
could not run. 1t went for hit Strunk
sacrificed him to second, and when Merkle
failed to hold on to Barry's little foul
fly the shortstop took advantage of the
respite and drove double to left which
brought McInnis home.
In the third inning Demaree got away
with the side without having d base oc-
cupied, but in the very next round he was
hit numerically hard.

DEMAREE FAILS TO
SHOW GOOD FORM
Athletics Pound New York
Pitcher, Who Was Touted
as Possible Winner.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October II.-For
the third time in four games the
Athletics were again successful
over the Giants yesterday, win
ming by score of 6 to s. The
game was not near as close as the
score would indicate. For the
greater part OF the way the Giants
were shut out. but they made a
lucky rally in the seventh and
eighth, when by hitting Bender
rather hard they came within one
run of tying the score. But the
result once these innings were
over was never in doubt. It was
simply a case of the team which
is the stronger winning.
Bender probably would never
have been in trouble had he not
let down after having six-run
lead, and before he could regain
his stride his game was in danger.
Up to that seventh inning the In
dian pitched a game much supe-
rior to the exhibition he gave on
Tuesday, but as said before, he
grew careless in the two innings
mentioned and was hit real hard.
There was again no comparison
in the play of the victors and the
losers. Mack's team again showed
its superiority over its rivals, hit-
ting better, fielding perfectly and
displaying by far the better team
work.
