CHAPTER XIII.

A TRIPLE tie. Never was there
"A such an ending OF a cham
pionship pennant race. Pos
sibly in some hush league, possibly
in some obscure baseball organiza-
ton that no one ever heard Of, such
a thing had happened, but It had
never been reported. Not even n
double tie-a tie between two clubs
had ever been recorded in the
American League. There had been
close races for the championship flag,
season long battles, that were not de-
cided until the final game at the very
end Of the season. but never a tie,
much less a triple tie.
or course the triple tie involving
the Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
clubs had to be played off, but there
was no rule in the American League
10 cover the point. The eight mem
bers OF this organization usually set
tied questions that might arise in
the easiest possible manner and their
method was simply to turn the matter
over to President Byron Bancroft
Johnson. to whom they paid a salary
that equalled the salary Of the Presi-
dent of the United States in Grants
time. But the settling Of the de-
tails of the play-off Of the triple tie
was Of such Importance to the three
clubs involved that Mr. Johnson de-
clined to assume the entire response
bility and called upon the clubs to
nominate representatives to confer
with him in Chicago at once. II was
necessary TO have the triple tie dis
posed OF as quickly as possible In
order that the winner Of the play-off
could engage with the winning club

In his hand he held a new white base

threw the ball to Umpire O'Loughlin.

men from Philadelphia. II was no
fault of this pitcher that the White
Sox lost. 1t was the rocky support
he received. The errors were enough
to drive a temperance orator to
strong drink. Manager Callahan was
like a wild man as he watched his
players throw the game away. Be

to witness the kind of pail his men
were playing.

hurled the ball toward the plate with
tremendous speed. Murphy let 1t pass

crashed into Cadys mitt with a loud
noise.

Wood tried to sneak over a curve
for the third strike, but Murphy con-
nected with 1t and raped a sharp
grounder to Wagner. The Boston
shortstop handled It as though 1t was
the Winning ticket in the Honduras
lottery, but threw the ball five feet
over the chunky Engle's head That
error was the only one charged
against Boston in the game, but for
unexcelled rankness Il deserved
blue ribbon. Engle turned and chased
the ball. mutterlng imprecations. but
before he recovered It Murphy was
on second. Oldring, the next batter,
rolled a slow grounder to Yerkes and
was out at first, but Murphy reached
third on the play. Eddie Collins drove
a long fly to Speaker and Murphy
crossed the plate with the first run
of the game.
The Quaker section in the grand
stand went wild with delight. Home
Run" Baker was the next man to
face Wood. He was implored to knock
the ball into the Harlem River, but
the best he could do was to put up
a fly a furlong high, which fell into
the extended mauleys OF Larry Gard
ner, the Red Sox third baseman.
Jack Coombs. hero of many a ball
game, was Connie Mack's selection
for slab duty and Lapp was the
catcher assigned to hold the Maine
boys delivery. Coombs began like
a whirlwind and the first three Red
Sox batsmen were retired in order
The Athletics could do nothing
with Woods speed in the second in
ming and not man reached first.
The Red Sox then took their second
crack at the ball Duffy Lewis be-
gan well by pushing the ball over
second base for a single. Gardner
put the runner on second with a neat
bunt which Coombs threw to first,
retiring the runner. Engle swung
hard and shot a liner to Oldring,
which, however. did not advance
Lewis. Wagner then stepped to the
plate and after missing two swings,
doubly made up for his error by driv-
ing the ball into the right field seats
for clean home run, scoring Lewis
ahead of him. While Wagner was
trotting around the bases the Boston
contingent made the afternoon hid
eous with a series OF ear-splitting
yels.
"Heinie don't make 'em often, but
when he does, they count" observed
President McAleer of the Boston club
as soon as he could make himself
heard. He was seated in a box with
a crowd of State Street brokers.
That home run gave the Red Sox
the lead. 2 to 1. From that time on
1t was a battle to the death. Both
Wood and Coombs worked like pow
erful machines and there were
mighty few safe hits made by either
team. As inning after inning passed
with neither side able to add to the
score, a worried look came into
Manager Connie Mack's face. He
kept score with one hand and pulled
