Norwich bulletin., 1914-10-13

almost continuous ring Of stands cut off the strength of the blast. Both diamond and outfield were dry from sun bake and every slide and rush produced a cloud of dust which rapid " drifted away causing the players less annoyance than was the case in the games in Philadelphia.
 First Inning.
 The vast crowd had settled back some time before Umpire Klem called Play bau!" Tyler was given an en- couraging cheer as he walked to the pitching mound. His first offering to Eddie Murphy, first up for the Ath- letics, was a ball and the next was a strike that cut the plate in two. As the third ball came down the alley, Murphy opened his shoulders and shot it down the left field foul line for two bases to the great delight of the Attn Ietic rooters. Rube Oldring sacrificed, Fyler to Schmidt, advancing Murphy to third. Murphy scored when Collins drove a long fly to Connolly in left field. Connolly dropped the ball, but Collins was credited with sacrifice fly. Collins was held on first, as Baker struck out. Collins fidd1ed off the base until he caught sight of slow pitch and then stole second. McInnis walk ed and a moment later Collins was caught off second taking Q long lead, Tyler making a quick throw to Evers, ending the inning.
 Bush, who starred for the Athletics in the last worlds series, when he won in a game against the New York Giants on the Polo grounds, had trou- ble in disposing of Moran. Boston's first batter. He pitched ten balls to the Braves lead-off man: three balls, two strikes, four fouls and then the pitcn on which Moran hit up into the air to Collins. Evers brought the Boston rooters to their feet by a dashing sin gle into left field. Connolly lifted a high foul that Baker caught within inches of the Athletics bench. The but he was left there, as Whitted fell a victim to strikes.
 Second Inning.
 The second inning of the American leaguers was quickly over. Walsh, who was playing in center field, as Strunk, the regular man, does not hit well against left handed pitching, chop ped a grounder at Tyler, who threw him out at first Barry raised a foul, which Big Schmidt gathered in with out effort. Schang put up a fly which Evers had to back out to right field to get.
 The National league champions tied up the score in their half of the inning after two hands were out. Schmidt struck out on Bush's slow balls. Deal hoisted a fly to Baker. Rabbit Maran- N1ll0 WOTkGO BUSH LOT d DdS6 OH U6llS, then stole second He wasn't there long before Gowdy sent him home by a sIashing two base drive into the bleachers in left field. Tyler went out, Barry to McInnis.
 Third Inning.
 The worlds champions also went out in order in the third inning. Bush fou1ed out to Schmidt, and Murphy was retired on a sharply hit grounder, Evers to Schmidt. Oldring, after hit ting at two very wide balls, ended the inning by grounding out, Maranville to Schmidt
 Boston fared no better in it's half of the third. Baker scooped up Moran's grass cutter and tossed hirn out. Evers dropped a little grounder to Bush and was also retired. Connolly gave Mur- phy long fly in right field.
 Fourth Inning.
 The Athletics put together their sec- ond run in the fourth inning. After Collins had shot hot liner at Evers which the Boston captain held, Baker there was great cheering. Stuffy Mo- Innis waited until he stood three and two, and then caught the groove ball on the nose and lifted 1t into the left field b1eachers for two bases. Connolly made daring try for the ball. He
 
 and fell backward into the bleachers. He was out of sight for several sec ondS but bObbed up unhurt and was cheered for his effort. Walsh also waited until he was three and two and then slashed single to left, bringing McInnis home. As McInnis was about to round third, Deal got in his way, and both Harry Davis, who was on the coaching lines for the Athletics, and McInnis complained to Umpire Klem against Deals alleged interfer- ence, but as McInnis had scored there was nothing for the umpire to do Barry grounded out, Deal to Schmidt, leaving Walsh on first
 With the Athletics having the ad- vantage, the Boston roOters called for runs, and the Braves responded by putting one across in their half of the fourth. Whitted drove hot grounder at Bush which the Philadelphia pitch CT could not hold. but he managed to defect 1t to Collins, who tossed the runner out in the nick of time. Schmidt delighted the home fans by pushing a fine single into center field and the big lins threw out Deal
 With Maranville up and Schmidt on second, the vast crowd started a great noise. The Boston shortstop hit a sharp ball that went down the right field line. It struck close to the chalk
 
 fence, then caromed into the field again. Schmidt raced home and Ma ranville also made. the circuit of the bases while Collins, Murphy and Walsh chased the ball. All this time Umpire Hildebrand was making frantic signals that the ball had struck foul. He pointed to a spot about an inch out side the line while the great crowd cheered, not realizing that the ball nad been declared foul. The Boston players appeared as much surprised as the most dyed-in- -the-woo1 fan There was some discussion and Maranville returned to the bat and Schmidt to second. The great cheering was re- newed when the little shortstopper cropped hit into right field which schmidt tied up the score. Maranville stole second and kept right on to third when Schangis throw to the middle bag to head the runner off went wide and rolled into center field. Gowdy was passed to first and on an attempted double steal Maranville was out,
