torious tally. OF course, Bushs glar-
ing error of a wild throw to Baker to
catch Mann, who was running for
Gowdy, going to third base, was re-
sponsible for the score but that is all
in the ball game. Bush could have
thrown Moran, the bunter, out at
first, but this play would have left
man on third and man on second
with only one out. Bush took the
long chance and lost If he had got
ten his man he might at least have
saved the day.
Bush, outside OF his error, did we'll.
He pitched hard and he was effec-
tive. Gowdy, who has played won
derful ball, and Captain Evers, who
has been a tower of strength
to the team, were the only
Braves who could do any
thing with him. Each got three
hits. Bush pitched the entire game.
although both Shawkey and Bressler
were warming up throughout the
contest, ever ready to relieve him.
Tyler was "a bit wild at times. but
at that he gave only four bases on
balls. James, who relieved him, gave
three passes, but one of them was
deliberate. II was great pitch
ing and great baseball all the way
through, and the team that won
deserved the victory.
o
1t isn't often that Johnny Evers
makes bonehead play, but he Will
have to be credited with one for his
absence of mind in the tenth inning.
In the first place he fumbled Bakers
grounder and Schang scored from
third, and he deliberately held the
ball while Murphy came all the way
from second to the home plate. There
was a difference of opinion as to
whether Everss slip-up was an err
ror, and the official scorer finally
gave Baker a hit. But there Is no
way to score the play that Evers
made in holding the ball. 1t must
simply be put down as a bone"
o
The two runs that resulted from
Evers's ''old fashion," we will call it,
looked like enough and plenty, but
Johnny himself came through with
timely single that put Moran on
third, Connolly's sacrifice fly brought
Moran home, and Gowdy's ripping
home run drive earlier in the tenth
inning did the rest. Then in the
twelfth Gowdy was again in evidence,
this time with a two-bagger, and
Bush's wild throw of Moran's tanta-
i!zing hunt ended a strenuous day.
o
The Athletics are gone completely.
They are thoroughly buffaloed and
are beginning to "crab" among them
selves. Occasions were numerous
when ono called" the other for stu
pidity. and 1t looks as IL the great
Mack machine is ripped asunder.
Connie himself is up in the air, and
ne fidgeted around and held heated
discussions with his players on the
bench. The great batting strength OF
"murderers' row" Is missing, and
Collins, Baker and Mcrnnis hit
neither timely nor consecutively.
They are still the champion Athletics
in name, but they have surely been
white elephants against the
Braves.
O.
The umpiring, ON a whole, has been
very good, and the kicks have been
very few, though close decisions
have been numerous. On one play
yesterday Evers almost ran amuck
| when he thought that Dineen had
called Baker safe at first on dou-
BILE play. Before Evers could get
himself in trouble, Schmidt waved
| him back and shouted to him that
Baker was out. Warnings also came
from the Braves bench, where much
jubilation Is in evidence. In fact 1t
looked as IL the Braves are almost
too strenuous in their capers on the
| bench when anything is doing. But
the Mackmen, evidently ashamed
to make kick here, have so far re-
Gals. At every critical stage of the
game every mothers son on the Bos-
tons was up roofing and shouting
advice to their own players and
haunting the men on the opposing
team. Little Meanwhile was a
villa on the coaching line, though
he didn't do anything that could be
termed as raw" The fact is, the
Braves are full of fight and there is
no holding them. Something of an
idea may be cleaned from their an
tics when 1t can be truthfully stated
that the obstreperous Stallings him
self is the lamb of the flock, and you
Newarkers who know Stallings are
aware OF just what kind Of a lamb
the big Chief is.

By all the laws of Judgment Thomas
ought to have been delighted to cease
hostilities. The breaks" were going
against his side surely. If luck was
