son and the grand old veteran. Plank,
locked horns today and after one of
the greatest fights I ever witnessed,
Big Six was victor. The score:
Athletics o. Giants 3. Imagine two of
the oldest pitchers in the game twirl-
ing for nine seoreless inning each in a
worlds series game and the men be-
hind them trying with everything they
had to put run across, as each team
soon realized they were up against
some pitching.
The honors belong to Matty. who
was there with the stick when q hit
counted. McGraw made two moves
today which helped his team immense
iy, replacing Snodgrass with Wiltse in
the third and working Mclean behind
the bat. Mclean did fine work and
came across with a nice bingle to right
in the tenth. Merkle was out of the
game as he developed a Charley horse"
yesterday.
Connie Mack had great opportunity
to win when with two on and no one
down he would not replace Lapp and
followed it up BY giving Plank his turn
at the bat. Burns and Murphy starred
in the field with shoestring catches.
