Norwich bulletin., 1913-10-11

three games Murphy, Oldring, Collins and Baker did the brunt of the stick work, it was the lower half of the bat ting order that sprang into the breach when the leaders faltered in their stickwork. Seven of the nine hits re- corded off the Giant twirlers were made by McInnis, Strunk, Barry and Schang. This quartette also scored all six rttns that were credited to the Mackmen. Of the upper half only Oldring was able to get his bat on the ball safely.
 Barry made three hits in four times at bat, two of them doubles. Schang did even greater execution, getting two hits and two bases on balls in four times up. His two hits scored four runs, and he crossed the plate himself with another Oldring, who has made a safe hit the first time up in every game of the series, earned the honor of the longest hit made by the Ath- letics today when he tripled in the opening inning on the first ball that Demaree served up. It was not alone by batting that the Athletics won, however, for both their fielding and Renders pitching were factors that helped to bring victory. The Indian twirler was at the top of his form, ex- cept in the seventh and eighth in- nings, being steady and having abso- lute control of his breaks and curves. He gave but one base on balls and hit one batter. The Giants garnered but two hits off his delivery until the seventh, and their sum total was eight, while the redman famed five as a sort of retaliation.
 oIdring's Great Stop.
 Bender was in trouble in the fifth inning, when he walked Murray and Mclean singled. McGraw sent Coop CT in to run for Mclean and McCor- mick to bat in place of Demaree, who was already marked for the bench. Mccormick promptly lifted a humming liner over Barry'S head that was label ed a hit. Oldring came in sprInJIng at top speed and with-a long, low dive scooped the ball off the grasstops for as spectacular catch as has been Witnessed in many a month With two out, McGraw ordered Cooper to try 1lr second, but Schang shot the ball to Collins like rifle bullet and Coop CT fast runner that he is, was out by five feet IL was another demonstra- tion of the heights to which the Ath- letics can rise when occasion de- mands
 For the Giants. Burns made two hits --one a double, while Larry Mclean singled twice in two times q t bat The New York club used sixteen players against the Athletics nine and had four men left on the bases to the Mackmcns seven.
 MaTquard Frightened Up.
 Denaree was not much of problem to the American league champions, who secured seven hits in four innings, but Marquard, after his weak opening in the dfth. frightened up and pitched high class b2l, the Athletics going out in rapid fire order.
 The game was played under the most favorable weather conditions of the series to date, the sun frequently shining through rifts in the clouds and upon field comparatively dry and fast.
 Ut least 5000 spectators watched the play from the housetops overlooking the park. The sun warmed the atmo- sphere to q point where the fans felt safe in removing coats and vests, and as a consequence the dead black back ground was relieved by patches of white which added touch to the scene heretofore missing
