The fifth and deciding game OF the

slightly above IL. Five times in the
nine innings Mathewson got by with

best perforl lance being in the eighth
inning, when he pitched only balls

away, like Matty. in seven innings with
II pitches or less He did his hardest
work in the fifth. when Is pitches were
necessary to retire the side. This was
the inning in which the Gettysburg

Giants got their only run, as well as
one of their two hits. Plank's lowest
mark in one inning was s pitched balls,

pastime of the Athletics, and it was a
most profitable pastime, all three runs
