Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Oct. 10
In one of the most remarkable games
in the history of worlds series, the
Boston Braves took their second game
from the Athletics today, 1 to O.
Their victory was due to the mas
terly pitching of BIZ James. lie held
the slugging Mackian forces to two
hits, disposed of them in order up 10
the ninth inning, and with four men
facing him in the ninth, only % men
took their places before him at the
plate.
Eddie Plank, the Gettysburg veter-
an, opposing James, pitched almost as
brilliantly. Plank was touched for
seven hits, but he Kept them widely
scattered.
1t was Deal, the Braves substitute
third baseman, who delivered the blow
which really worked Plank's undoing.
Five times previously during the two
games Deal had opportunities to drive
in Boston runs, but failed ingloriously.
Heawas regarded as the weakest spot
in the Braves lineup. With one out
in the ninth, Deal drove a double to
deep center. He then stole third and
scored on Mann's single. This hit was
another tribute to the strategy of
Stallings, the miracle man.
Following his usual scheme of
switching his outfeld for left-hand
pitcher, Stallings sent Mann to right
field in place of Moran. His move was
vindicated when Mann delivered the
swat that drove in the winning run.
The extent to which the Athletic bat
tiers have been at the mercy of the
Braves pitchers was shown by the
fact that they have made seven hits
in two days. Schang doubled in the
sixth inning today, but was immedi-
ately out attempting to steal third
Collins beat out an infeld hit to Evers
which represents the entire efforts OF
the heretofore dreaded Mack artillery
ct the bat.
1t appeared for a moment in the
ninth inning today that James was
weakening after the masterful way ir
which he handled the Athletics. He
walked Barry. This was his second
base on balls of the game, as he had
passed Murphy, the first man up in the
initial inning. After Schang famed
Walsh also walked, but double play
eliminated any chance Of the Athletics
tieing the score. James whitfield eight
of the Athletic sluggers, putting Nc
Innins, Strunk Oldring and Schang or
his list. McInnis and Strunk famed
twice, and Oldring's tanning was his
third of the series.
Plank struck out six men. James
his opponent in this great pitchers
battle, struck out every time he came
to the plate. Plank gave four base:
on balls, and it appeared for a time
in the sixth inning that he was about
to blow the game. He hit Schmid
with a slow one.
Butch was not permitted to take hi
base, and then flied to Murphy for th'
second out. Gowdy then walked, Planl
= apparently having lost control com
pletely. He hit Maranville, and ther'
were two men on bases. Deal again
failed to come through, however, ant
forced Gowdy at third.
One of the most regal plays OF tn
game was pulled off by Barry and Nc
Innis in the eighth inning. Gather hi

ond, which Barry came in for. Barr,

shot it to McInnis. 1t was wide, t

ball and took it with one band in
