 Bender in Distress
 l The sixth inning opened auspiciously for Bender brt before it was over he was in the dressing room, driven from the pitchers box for the first time in his worlds series career. Moran flied | to Barry who made the greatest field lhS Dldy Ol the game III scoring the out. He ran at top speed almost to the field stand and by extending himself caught the ball in his bare hand It was a great catch and was loudly cheered by friend and foe Evers sin gled to center field, the ball almost striking Bender as it shot past him. Connolly received a base on balls and both Evers and he came home on Whit teds three base drive to the right field wall. The Indian seemed to weaken as he pitched rather unsteadily to Schmidt, who finally put a single into left field, scoring Whitted. Wyckof, who had been warming up for two in- nings, then was called into the game and the big Indian slowly walked off the field. The young pitcher gave Gowdy a base on balls. Maranville hit sharply to Wyckoff, who threw to Ba- lxer to head off Schmidt, but the heave was too late and all runners were safe. With the bases full, Deal tried hard to clear them, but the best he could do was to hit into another double play. Baker scooped up his grounder and after touching third, forcing Cow dy he threw Deal out at first. Wyekof if was given hand for stopping the run making.
 It was one, two three for the Ameri
 can leaguers despite the roofing of the crowd. Rudolph seemed to be pitching just as strongly and steadily as he did in the opening innings. Mur- phy went out Evers to Schmidt Old ring was easy victim, Deal to Schmidt, and Collins quickly ended the inning by rolling a slow grounder that II Rudolph shot to first ahead of the speedy second baseman. Then Lapp went in to catch for the Athletics in the sixth inning. Rudolph won ap- plause by hitting single past second base, but was forced at the middle bag when Baker threw Moran's grounder to Barry. Captain Evers struck out as Moran stole second. Connolly grounded to McInnis. who tossed him out to Wyckoff, the pitcher covering first base.
 | Crowd Stretches
 l The crowd stood up and stretched as | Baker came to bat in the seventh in- ming Eyers fumbled Bakers grounder and runner was safe. He moved up on McInnis walk and both runners ad- vanced and Schmidt gathered in Strunk's grounder and touched first. Barry struck out and Lapp ended the inning, Rudolph to Schmidt.
 | The Athletic rooters began to real ize that all hope of winning the game was about gone and there was gen eral movement to the exit gate. Whit ted opened the Braves eighth inning | by giving Baker high fly. Schmidt dropped a short fly in left that neither l Oldring nor Barry could reach. Schmidt went to third on Gowdy's single to left field Maranville struck out and a double steal scored Schmidt. Gowdy tried to reach third on the play on Schmidt at the plate, but was thrown out, I.app to Baker.
