ATHLETICS

,tI1irsty Athletics landed heavily on
"steamer AI'' De1naree in the fourth
inning of today's worlds series en-
zageme1it and smashed the Giant re-
cruit's delivery for three runs.
An error by MerAle was costly In
this inning.
Previous to this the Athletics had
collected a run in the second on a
single by McInnis and Barry's dou-
BILE. Chief Bender was on the slab
for Mack's men and bothered the
Giants in the early chapters. Singles
by Strunl1, Barry and Scnang did the
damage in the fourth. Snodgrass
field and Shafer went to the pasture,
Herzog going to third.
AS the New York club came on the
field Manager McGraw told Steam er
APP Demaree to be ready to pitch.
The former Mobile moundsman re-
piled:
-Give me half the lead the Athletics
gave Bush yesterday, and we will go
back to New York winners tonight .
Some of the Athletic players admit
ted that Demaree would probably
prove a puzzling proposition because
of his peculiar delivery.
The Athletics were prepared to send
either Shawley or Bender to the
pitchers box.
The crowd filled the unreserved
stands long before the players came
on the field but the reserved section
filed slowly. It was not until the
fielding practice had ended that the
last of the seats was occupied.

a long hit into right field for three
bases He smashed the first ball
pitched. The New York players gath
cred around Denaree to encourage
him. With Eddie Collins up and a
run likely the crowd cfleered itself
hoarse. Demaree's first pitch to Col
lins was a ball. The second pitch
Collins fouled off. Oldring was out az
the plate when EMerkle took Collins
