BARRY And SCHANG HIT HARD
IN FOURTH GAME OF SERIES
Leading Batters of Mack's Team Are Helpless but
Tailend of Lineup SIugs Its Way to
Victory Over Giants
FRED MERKLES HOME RUN IS A FEATURE

Manager Johnny McGraw's Giant
pitchers held the Athletics leading
batters in check yesterday at Phiia-
delphia ia the fourth game Of the
worlds series. Collins. Baker and
McInnis were practically helpless
with the stick. but the American
4 League pennant-winners showed their
championship class. With the lead-of
men helpless, the second half Of the
batting order showed a form reversal
directly opposite 70 its work the day
before. and Barry and Schang did
/ few things with the stick that left
| the Giants Inundated in their third
| defeat at the end of the ninth round.
I 1t looked a whole lot as though Nc
] Graw had spent so much time coach
/ ing Demaree, who started the game,
on the weaknesses of Collins and
Baker that he overlooked Barry and
/ Schang. Barry, in particular, hit the
ball hard. He came through with
three long bingles and pulled up at
second base each time. Twice he got
credit for doubles and the other time
/ he went down to second on the throw
70 third to get a base-runner ahead of
Jack 1t was a useless peg. but Barry
got credit for only a single, as he
would not have been able to advance
had not Shafer thrown to third base
Bender won his second game Of the
series. The Chief early in the game
I had terrific speed, much. more than he
had in his first game; but he eased
/ UP or weakened later in the fight. and
/ the Giants came through with five
runs in the seventh and eighth
rounds. Captain Danny Murphy
wanted to remove Bender after the
/ Giants scored twice in the eighth in
ming, but the Chief refused to 60 In
stead. he shot the ball to Murray
and Murray grounded out. Collins to
/ Mclnnis.
The Giants who had been laying
back all though the game started
after Bender's first bail in the eighth
/ inning, and there was some lively can
nonading during that eighth period
! Bender had great support, or he
| would have been hammered out be-
! fore he got two men out. AS il was,
he retired two men, but the Giants
then slammed his offerings for long
I hits. They waded in as the Athletics
have been doing and smashed his Of
! ferings for keeps. Still he proved his
real class when he tighteend up in the
next round and got the next three
| Giant batters, though he had to work
hard
/ Merkle's home run with two on
bases in the seventh inning was one
OF the big features of the game. At
| the same time Fred made two bad
plays. One of them was in the second
round, when he muffed Barry's foul.
He got under it. and juggled the ball,
/ rlnaily dropping it. Barry then lined
a clean double to the extreme left
| field corner of the field, and McInnis
scored. 1t was a lucky run, in way,
for McInnis had got on through Snod-
| grass's inability to reach Stuffy's fly,
which dropped safely in centre and
went for a Texas League single.
Schang had perfect record at bat.
| He walked twice and singled twice.
| He drove in four runs with his two
safeties and scored a fifth tally. He
| had to bat right-handed against Rube
Vanguard but it did not bother him.
He singled in the fifth inning and
