NEW YORK, Oct. "A com piete
change In the nature of the world g
series fighting took place at the Polo
grounds today. when the Giants and
Athletics came together in the third
game 1t was a change from two
games which were close and even.
as games go. to a landslide. The
Giants were hit by an avalanche. The
Athletics were the avalanche. They
won by score of 5 to 2.
The Mackian and MachiavelIian
strong men, to whom a bat is at once
rapier and a bludgeon, essentially
Furnishing instrument in either event,
slashed and dubbed their way
through the Giants lines. Not only
did they show as much of their quail
ity which is g. much emphasized pos
session OF the Giants. the quality of
speed. as they have in all of the games
thus far, but they used 1t to season
their vivid and heavy hitting which
gave them the overwhelming victory.

complement Of speedy. daring, begot
by confidence. broke loose in the first
inning. They were there from the

Leslie Bush. stocky and well knit,

ing force. distinguished himself by a
performance on the knob which com
pares favorably with any previous

advanced that youngster up the ranks
of renown. While the Athletics were

Bush was holding the Giants to five,

Tesreau strove hard and conscten-
tiously to hold the Athletics, but all
THAT ne could tmpart to the bali was
nuts for them
Tesreau is the second of McGraws
regulars of the box to be roughly
handled by the Athletics. Only Matty
has mastered them.
The Giants didn't crumple at all in
the face OF the dynamic batting. There
was no fielding slip OF consequence
by them. Their one error, a wild
throw by Fletcher. which was ex-
cusable. had slight hearing on the
outcome. There Is no way. except
what devolves upon the pitcher. by
which 81 team can stop base hits, par-
ticalarly the driving, cutting splenetic
base hits made by the Athletics to-
day Collins. with his trained bat, was
the chief rock on which the Giants
split. He seemed to regard Tesreau
as the biggest target he has faced In
a long time. and hatted in four runs
and made two for himself
