the fourth time. Leslie Mann, playing
his first game In the series, took a ball
and then chopped a long-looping fly to
right field back of second. Eddie Collins
made a desperate effort to catch 1t. fair
ly hurting himself backward. His fingers
barely touched the ball, but even so. it
is doubtful II any man In the game could
have come as close to getting It.
Deal scored and the men on the Boston
bench became momentarily demented.
Hank Gowdy, arrayed in his shin
guards as II he had no hope of any re-
suit that inning, rushed out in front of
the coop and leaped high in the air,
cracking his heels together.
Josh Devore could be heard yelling high
above the tumult from the stands, and
the rest of the Boston players acted
like men possessed.
StalIInEs barely Smiles
A shadow of the Stallings smile passed
over the face of the big manager, and
then he began harshly ordering the next
play.
Deal got credit for stolen base from
the official scorer, when he went to third
on that play which will be discussed for
many a day.
Whether Deal had really started out to
steal is a question. but It is doubtful II
Stallings would have ordered such a play
at such a time.
A passed ball by Schang put Mann on

touched his glove. bounded off-and Deal
scampered home with the winning run.
The crowd, keyed up to the highest
tension right from the moment the bell
sent the players into action, thought that
the scoring OF Deal was to be for them
the final thrill Of the game. But II was
not. The greatest play was yet to come.
And what a wonderful one 1t was
James, steady as clock during the
first eight innings, wobbled in the ninth.
He walked Barry. After giving Schang
three balls, he struck him out, forcing
him to foul OF two. Walsh batted for
Plank and James again failed to locate
the plate. Walsh walked.
Two on bases, only one out, one run
needed to tie and two to win, and the
heavy end of the Athletic batting order
was up. A dramatic situation.
Meanwhile to Schmidt.
Murphy let one go by, missed the next
and connected with the third. Like rifle
bullet It bounded over the diamond and
looked to be a sure hit. It was headed
almost over second base and Barry was
rounding third when like a bolt out of
the sky, a tiny form catapulted through
the air, grabbed the ball and recovering
his balance, dashed toward second The
tiny form was that Of Maranville. Evers
was there waiting for the throw In the
hope of forcing out Walsh. But Maran-
vile. then ten feet from the bag, didn't
throw. He waved Eyers out of the way,
beat Walsh to the bag by half step,
and then. while two feet in' the air.
hurled the ball, true as an arrows
flight, to Schmidt.
1t seemed that the ball and Murphy
arrived at the first sack at the same
moment, but Byron waved his arm for
an out, And the greatest and most
thrilling game Of baseball that has been
played for many years was over.
The Athletics today looked like differ
ent BAH team than yesterday. They played
with a greater dash and with more spirit,
but they were playing against q team
that was putting up the greatest all
around exhibition that has ever been witt
messed.
Fielding Features Contest.
Helpless before the grand pitching Of
James, the Athletics made amends by
The Washington herald., 1914-10-11

some startling fielding stunts. Time and
again they cut off runs by fine work. The
story of the wonderful defense put up by
the Athletics is told by the fact that the
Braves had eleven men left on bases. In
eight of the nine innings the Braves got
men on bases, but only once in those eight
innings were they able 10 push across a
run.
Plank pitched good game, but he was
unsteady at times. In pinches he was al
his best. And in pinches his support was
Of the best Collins and Barry. more
especially Barry. were his main supports
in his battle, and the amount of ground
they covered was marvellous.
After what happened today and what
happened yesterday, only the bravest
Philadelphia fans can be lured into
placing new bets that their pets will win
the series. The Braves have beaten Con-
ME Mack's two best pitchers, and forced
him to place his next hope in a youngster.
And. in contrast, the Braves still have the
third member of their great trio-Tyler-
to hurl at the Athletics.
The Athletics are in the hole, and it
isn't likely that they will crawl out. II
both the Boston victories were of a fluky
order, or II even one was a 1uke victory,
there might be reason for strong hope.
But both victories were clean-cut In
both games the Braves have demon
strated that in their present form they
are peers Of the one-time peerless Ath-
letics.
The Braves have outhit the Athletics
almost three to one. They have stolen
five bases, and the Athletics haven't
stolen one. Their two pitchers have DEM
onstrated their superiority over the two
best that Connie has, and their pitchers
have humbled the heaviest hitting club in
either league

ended when Gathers rolled to Barry. who
tossed to Collins, forcing the captain OF
the Braves at second.

and then began a last despairing effort al

On the next pitch, Murphy hit a sharI

ball with single motion, leaped over on

then shot the ball over to Schmidt aheaG
of Murphy, closing the game with the
most spectacular double play of the Sc
ries.
For five innings big Bill" James
poured his speed across the plate with
such binding velocity that the Mackmen
did not secure a safe hit. In that time
only one reached first base. and that was
the first man up in the game.
Thereafter the Athletics hung helpless
before the huge youngster from Car
bonada, Wash.
Meantime, however, Eddie Plank, forty
years young and one of the wisest Of all
the moundsmen, was holding the Braves
In check by the power of his old left
arm They hit him freely enough, they
got on bases often enough. but they
could not score
1t was a marvellous exhibition by both
the youth and the veteran.
''OIdd Punch Seems Gone.
The Athletics played with more life
today than they did the day before, but
the ''oId punch" was lacking. The "oid
punch" seems gone forever.

their rivals numerically again today.

were calculated to wound the feelings Of
the older players and to set their
goats"
Yesterday the Braves pursued this
practice until they had the ordinarily
''cocky'' Collins greatly annoyed
No team, not eve the Tigers or the
Washington club in the days of their
greatest rivalry with the PhiIadeIphians,
even went after the followers of Connie
Mack as ruthlessly as the Braves in this
series.
1t was noticeable from the stands
Once a Philadelphian roared Indignantly
into a silence:
Hey, Hildebrand! How many coach
ers are you going to allow in this game?
Why don't you make that Boston bunch

Hildebrand paid no attention, and a
low murmur continued rising out OF the
Boston coop as the Braves talked lightly
and loosely-Of this man and that.

clean single.
Strunk did not start for the ball as
quickly as he should have done, but it is

s.... Shang BIunders.
The real "bone-headed" play on the
part of the Athletics came when Deal
took long lead off second purposely
to draw a throw from Schang.
All Schang had to do was to run with
the ball half way to the pitchers box
and he could have caught Deal fat
footed. Instead of which he shot the
ball TO Barry.
As he did so Deal sneaked down to
third unmolested, for Jack" seeing that
the play would have been close had he
thrown to Baker, refused to let go Of the
ball.
We're Easy for Jameh.
For a wise catcher like Schang to be
tripped up and thrown of his guard in
this manner there is no excuse in sight
The foregoing tells briefly how the
Braves put over the much needed run.
On the other hand. the Athletics did not
get a man to third base and were so
ridicuIously easy for, Big Bill" James
that the fans who saw them play today
for the first time must have wondered
how they ever won the American League
pennant.

STORY In DETAIL.
First Inning.

First half-Plank's first serve to Mann
was a ball, the curve breaking wide of
the plate. The next one came over for
a strike. Mann went out, Collins to Nc
Innes. Collins took the ball back on the
grass and made fast play on the run
ner. Evers scratched an infield single,
which Plank could not get in time to
make the throw. Gather famed on three
pitched balls. Whitted walked, Plank
making kick when Hildebrand called
the last pitch a ball. Schmidt flied out
to Strunk. No runs, one hit, no errors.
Second half-Big James sent up an in
shoot, which was too low. His second
one was a strike. Murphy finally walked.
James got himself in a hole on the batter
trying to keep the ball on the plate.
Murphy was out when James threw
wildly to Schmidt, who quickly recov-
cred the ball and threw to MaranyiIle,
who touched out Murphy. Oldring went
