sHIBE PARK, PHILADELPHIA,
Oct. 10-In one Of the most remark
able games In the history OF any
worlds series the Boston Braves took
their second game from the Athletics
this afternoon.
Their victory was due to the master
~ pitching of Bill James. He held
the slugging Mackian forces to two
hits, disposed of them in order up to
the ninth inning. With four men fac
ing him in the ninth, only twenty
eight men took their places before
him at the plate. Eddie Plank. the
Gettysburg veteran opposing james,
pitched almost as brilliantly. Plank
was touched for seven hits but he
kept them widely scattered.
Deal the Days Hero.
It was Deal, the Braves substitute
third baseman, who delivered the
blow which really worked Plank's
undoing. Five times previously dur
ing the two games Deal had oppor-
tunities to drive in Boston runs but
failed ingloriously. He was regarded
as the weakest spot in the Braves
Ene up. 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
1t 80 loft h0n nd
pitcher, Stallings sent Mann to right
field in place OF Moran. His move
was INDICATED when Mann delivered
the swat that drove in the winning
run.
At Mercy Of Brave Pitchers.
The extent to which the Athletic
batters have been at the mercy of the
Braves pitchers was shown by the
fact that they have made but seven
hits in two days. Schang doubled in
the sixth inning today but was immed-
lately out, attempting to steal third.
Collins beat out to an infeld hit to
Eyers, which represents their total
efforts at bat today. At one moment
in the ninth inning today it appeared
that James was weakening after the
masterful way in which he had hand
led 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 a double play eliminated
any chance of the Athletics tying up
the score. James whitfield eight Of the
Athletic sluggers, putting McInnis,
Strunk, OIdring and Schang on his
list. McInnis and Strunk famed
twice and Oldring's tanning was his
third of the series.
Plank Made Good Record.
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 bases
on balls and it appeared for time in
the sixth inning that he was about
to blow the game. He hit Schang
with slow one, but he was not per-
mitted to take his base and then
flied to Murphy for the second out.
Gowdy then walked, Plank apparently
having lost control completely. He
hit Meanwhile, and there were two
men on bases. Deal again failed to
come through. however, and forced
Gowdy at third.
Macks Make Remarkable Play.
One of the most remarkable plays
of the game was pulled off by Barry
and McInnis in the eighth inning
