noon won the worlds championship.
They defeated the Athletics by a

unprecedented feat Of winning q
worlds series in four straight games.
With this feat they earned more than
ever their title Of the Miracle Men.
Having risen from the bottom to the
top Of the National league, between
July and September, the great vic
tory of the Braves is fitting climax
to the most wonderful season OF

Connie Mack showed everything he
had, and lost. He relied on his vets
Bender and Plank in the first two
games and they fell. Then he turned

their game away this afternoon in the

were already in the stands. BY 1
o'clock there were about 10000 in
the outfield bleachers. The majority
were bundled up in overcoats. Those
who were not, shivered and shook in
the face OF the cold breeze During
the Braves batting practice. Hank
Gowdy got his eye on the left field

youngsters was therefore a possibility

most likely selection. The grand
