New York, October Getting to
the slippery elm slan;s OF Jefferson
Tcsreau. the Ozark Giant. shortly after
the curtain had been yanked aside FOR
the third performance of the premier
baseball series OF the world those
visiting Athletics. enchanting their
white elephant. tranpled. tangoed and
trotted over the PROSTATE forms of the
New Workers IN tho first and second
innings, making six hits, which. helped
by Fletchers poor throw, Melted i've
runs and the game. The final score
to ..
IL was not a pretty ball game nor
was IT rs interesting as the pre-
vious two. Some or this may have
been due 10 the contrast between the
magnificent battle put up hy Christy
Mathewson. almost single handed, in
Philadelphia, hut most Of II was due
10 the fact that the Giants couldn't
possibly look az formidable behind
Tesreau's uncertain pitching as they
did behind better box work.
Both General MCC;raw and General
McGillicuddy changed their tactics to-
day. In the previous mix-ups Mack had
ordered his men 10 take n look at the
first one over. while McGraw had de-
pendcd upon the hit and run method
10 wither the ranks OF the defense. 1t
was reversed to-day. The moment Big
jon started shoveling them across
with control his chief asset, Connie
Mack gave his instructions, and these
instructions were 10 cleave the first
ball over as far and as wide as pos
siblc. John McGraw, with his men fac
ing Leslie Bush, who. in turn. was
facing his first worlds series test, de-
cidod that the waiting game would be
best.
Mack's Idea Successful.
Unfortunately FOR the hopes OF
Gotham. McGraw's ideas went far
away while the campaign OF Mack
proved successfully Bush never faul-
tered. Neither d!d he weary, and as
for his first ball, once sure that the
Giants were waiting in tho hope that
he might drift skyward, he shot II
through the middle with all the as
surance OF n veteran, and with much
on Il as the most modern reproduction
OF September Morn. He simply crossed
the dwcllers OF Manhattan and got
away with II.

There never was q time when the
Macltmen couldn't get TO him when
over they felt that more runs were
needed they got beneath his guard
and pounded over tallies. True,
Ele ttGtfS error counted LOT Two lt!l5
for the Philadclphians. but his bad
heave was almost. if not, quite On
cusable. Amos Strunk, with Collins
and Baker on second and third. re-
spectiyely. shot what looked like
sure single TO the left of Fletcher.
The fast-eoing shortstop managed TO
mil tho ball with his ungloved hand,
but in trying to steady himself, lost
his balance and made a wild heave to

Strunk was on second and the two
runs had counted. Had Eletcher's
great play turned out properly things
may have been slightly different.
though there Is little reason to sup
pose that the Athletics would not have
won They were out for blood. and
they went after the work in hand on
the methodicai and precise manner.
Hits Account for Runs.
Three solid knocks and some good
base running accounts for the brace
of Philadelphia runs In the second.
After that Tesreau gave reason to be-
lieve that he is n pitcher until the
fateful seventh, usually considered the
luck franc for the home crowd. When
the stretch period arrived all stood up,
and in salute Eddie Murphy drove a
neat single to left. Collins tripled
and Baker got his second single,
meaning two more runs.
The Eighth tally for the contcnders
was brought through Walter Schangs
circuit drive into the right field
bleaohcrs, by far the longest hit of
the series Tho youngster, who, with
his battery mate Bush, is experiencing
n first worlds series, had made two
poor pegs trying to get runners at
second, and was evidently set to re-
trieve what he had done. The home
run. however, Is not against Tesreau's
record. the Mssourian having been re-
lieved in the seventh by Crandall.
The best the Giants could do with
Bush was TO score two runs, one in the
fifth and the other in the seventh. They
came too late. after the game was
packed away. Murray, in the fifth. was
