PHILADELPHIA, oct. 1O.--The Athletics
took another facer to-day. square and
hard from the shoulder. The conquer
ing Braves hurled another bolt in the
Mackian machine. That machine has
been running at low speed since 1t came
to grips with the Braves. Its driving
engines have been skipping.
The score Of to-day's victory for the
National League battlers in the worlds
series games and conquest OF the prldes
Of the American League was l to 0.

ton pitchers. the recognized monarchs
Of the bat have made one small insig-
nificant run in the two games which
have been p,ayed, one run and grand
total Of eight hits in eighteen Consecu-
tive innings. This is rough and un-
heard Of jolting for those who battle
under the sign Of the White Elephant.
and no wonder the Athletics are
troubled and dazed.
The Athletics, though beaten by the
slimmest possible margin, were out
played again to-day-outplayed' out
fought. outguessed. Tactically and In
physical execution the Braves outdid
them They outdid them in hitting, IN
pitching, In cool assurance. Fielding
which ranged from good to capital ana
very steady was done as well by one
sid. az by the other. The true. speedy
helding of Barry at short for the cham
pions really scintillated ana was the
best individual fielding OF the afternoon
with that OF his contemporary ana rival
the mite, Maranville, a close second.
