feating the New York Giants yes
terday, won their third worlds cham
pionship in four years, while the
Giants lost their third successive
chance to win the highest honors in

record. and the Giants tied one--that
established in 1907, 1908 and 1909 by
Detroit, which team lost three worlds
series in succession.

and sharp. The last time the Giants
AID Athletics met, rain and snow in

and it was two weeks In finishing.

Of the Athletics and the lack of eff
fective pitching by the Giants, ex-
cept the case of Mathewson.

guard, who was speedily routed, the
Philadelphias winning s to 4, in spite
OF brisk attack by the Giants on the
Indian hurler

was 3 to 0.

test of the series.

gay in Philadelphia, and this time

Demaree, who was opposed by the
veteran Bender Demaree was knock
90 out, but Marquard stopped the
scoring and the Giants nearly won the
game by hard pounding of Bender in
me closing innings. The score was
to s.
Then came the finish and the
sweeping victory in the series. when
me Athletics won yesterday on the
Folo Grounds, New York, defeating
Christy Mathewson, whose fine work
was rendered futile by the wavering
OF his mates and the grand pitching
OF Eddie Plank, who yielded only two
MIS-. The score was 3 to /.
Giants in Bad Condition.
A composite score of the five games
SHOWS that the Athletics out pitched,
out-nelded, out-batted and generally
out-played their rivals at all points.
Baker and Collins might be singled
out for their batting prowess, with
Schang, Collins and Barry for their
fielding.
The Giants were slowed down by
Merkle's sprained ankle and Snod-
grass charley horse" and Chief
Meyers was lost to the lineup after
ne nrst game, with an injured thumb.
