Boston, Oct. 13.-In one of the most
sensational games ever played in a
worlds series. the Boston Braves de-
/ feated the Philadelphia Athletics at
Fenway Park S to 4. Twelve innings
of thrilling baseball were necessary
before the National League represen-
tatives could record their third con-
secutive victory of the present series.
So bitterly was the struggle con-
tested by both teams that with the
possible exception of the final game
between the New York Giants and
the Boston Red Sox, in 1912, nothing
equalling the third game has been re.
corded since the worlds series began
under national commission auspices
in 1905.
For three hours and six minutes the
two teams alternately led, tied or
forged ahead in the score, and the
game that began in bright sunlight
was won in deep twilight with cleo
trio signs flashing outside the park
overhead. While not the best played
game of the series from the stand
point of technical baseball. it was so
abounding in dramatic moments,
thrilling plays and baseball strategy
that the $4,000 spectators who filled
the stands were lifted to heights of
enthusiasm by the struggle.

First Game.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-Playing with
the same sparkling speed that mark
ed their rush from last place to the
position of pennant winners in the
National League, the Boston Braves
crushed the Philadelphia Americans
in the first game of the worlds series
by score Of to l.
Although the newly constructed
baseball machine of Miracle Man"
Stallings wobbled once or twice, 1t
never left the track, and under the
guiding hand of Pitcher Rudolph
clashed through the Connie Mack
champion Athletics, scattering dismay
Ind disappointment in its tran.
The victory over the 2 to 1 Ameri-
can League favorites was we'll won
no lucky breaks nor baseball fiukes
figuring in the defeat of the famous
Mack men clan. By sharp, heavy and
timely hitting the Braves piled up an
offensive lead, which, coupled with
Rudolp's sterling slab work, and the
general defense of his teammates, left
no opening through which Philadel-
phia's attack could penetrate.
The score by innings:
Boston. .......0 3 o 0 l 90 l O-7
Philadelphia. 20 1 o o 0 900 0-1
Boston Takes Second.
Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-In pitchers
battle with q dramatic climax usually
reserved for baseball fiction. the Bos-
ton Nationals defeated the Philadel-
phia Americans in the second game
of the worlds series, by to 0.
As a result the Braves left for Bos-
ton with a two-game lead over the
Athletics and the added advantage OF
playing the next two contests on their |
home grounds.
Although the American League rep |
we're forced to bow for
the second time in two days to the
superior play Of their National League
rivals, they offered a far more deter
mined opposition than was the case
on Friday. For eight innings the two
clubs battled behind the pitching Of
James and Plank without the SEM
blance Of an advantage.
Then came the break in the game
and again the Mackmen saw another
world series contest slip from their
to the credit Of the Stallings
clan.
