stand for home run, the ball hopping in
on the first bound. Gowdy received an
ovation as he trotted around the bases,
! but il was plain to be seen that the crowd
and the Boston bench, which usually goes
into transports over a hit by a comrade,
were still dazed by Evers' action.
The feeling seemed to be that the game
was lost anyway. and this feeling in

fellow change the tide.
Moran Ties Score.
Bush pitched three straight balls to Mo-
ran, then two strikes. and then another
ball Evers came up and swung with
great ferocity at the first ball. scoring a
miss. Johnny" was evidently raving in
ternally. He fouled OF the next pitch and
the next was a ball. Then came another
foul, and then Eyers singled to right.
Moran raced around to third while the
crowd rocked and roared-
The Athletics infield closed in, silently
and sombrely. Evidently on shutting
that run OF at the plate. II was use
less, however, as Connolly slammed a
long drive to Jimmy Walsh, the former
Yank, who was playing center in place
of Strunk today and Moran scored easily
after the catch. whitted was out on a
fly to Baker and the inning was over
with the score tie.
No Hits on James.
Big Bill James had been warming up

of the crowd to hoot, but it was good
judgment as McInnis rolled an easy
grounder to Evers.
Catches Collins Mapping.
It must be said for the Athletics that
they played today with more life than in
any other game of the series. They
seemed to have recovered their punch TO
some extent, but the Braves hav a still
heavier punch.
The Athletics got the jump in the first
inning on Murphy's lucky hit down the
third base line for two bases, Oldring's
sacrifice bunt, and ConnOlly's mum of
Collins fly, but that did not appear to
discourage the Braves in the slightest
Connolly tried to make a hurried catch
and throw to the plate, but he dropped
the ball after he had both hands on It.
Baker famed that inning and Collins
stole second, after jockeying with Tyler
for a time. McInnes drew a pass, but
Tyler suddenly turned clear around and
caught Collins mapping of second. 1t
was the second time this series that
Eddie" has been found asleep on the
bases.

poor.
