POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. 11.-Veteran Eddie Plank turned
the tables on Christy Mathewson to-
day and avenged his defeat in the sec
ond game Of the series, defeating New
York to 1, giving the worlds series
to the Philadelphia Athletics for the
third time
New York scored in the fifth. Shat
er walked and was safe at second
when Plank muffed Murrays pop up
fly. Shafer scored on a single by Nc
Lean.
Both pitchers pitched creditable ball.
After the third inning Matty was al
most invincible retiring the batters in
almost one, two, three order. Plank
pitch ed a gilt edged game except in
the third, when he walked a man,
made an error and allowed a hit, pre-
senting one run to the Giants. Plank
held the New York team down to two
hits.
With a determination to go after
the game on the jump the way they
did yesterday, the Mackmen pressed
MatheWSOn hard In the very first inn
ing, Murphy, the first man up lead
Ing off with single, but was forced
out at second a moment later, Oldring
going to first. Oldring went to third
on a single by Collins and scored on
Bakers caught fly.
The day had dawned muggy with
heavy clouds overhead casting off oc-
casional drizzles in the forenoon but
the field was dry in the afternoon and
In no way affected by the rainfall.
Philadelphia got two more in the
third, Murphy and Oldring scoring on
three hits and an error by Doyle.
With one game between them and
defeat in the baseball worlds cham
pionship. the Giants gritted their teeth
and went to do battle with the slug
ging Mackmen. The McGraw clan
could see both fame and money slip
ping away from them. and resolved to
stem the tide as they did in 1912 when
they tied the series with the Boston
Red Sox after the latter had won three
games.
