sensational games ever played in a
worlds series the Boston Braves de-
feated the Philadelphia Athletics at
Fenway Park today. to 4. Twelve
innings were necessary before the
National League representatives could
record the third consecutive victory
Of the present series.
So bitterly was the struggle con-
tested by both teams that with the pos
sible exception of the final game be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Boston Red Sox in 1912, nothing equal
ing today's play has been recorded
since the worlds series began under
national Commission auspices in
1905.
Enthusiasm Ran High.
For three hours and six minutes the
two teams alternately led. tied or forg-
ed ahead in the score and the game
that began in bright sunlight was won
in deep twilight. While not the best
played of the series from the stand
point of technical baseball, it was
SO abOunding in dramatic moments
tha. the 35,4e0 spectators who filled
the stands were lifted to heights OF
enthusiasm by the struggle.
/. New players mounted to inches in
the worlds series hall of fame and
others suffered the temporary sensure
OF baseball critics. but when the gen.
eral sentiment was that 1t was splen-
did game to win, and trying one to
lose.

Victory Deserved.
The most striking feature of the
play was the fighting spirit shown by
the youthful combination that Manag-
er George Stallings has gathered
around him. Repeatedly the Philadel-
phia team would battle its way into
alongside again In the same or the
succeeding inning. Never .once during
the nerve-racking contest did the
Braves cease their attack. Both from
ma individual and collective stand
point they deserved the victory they
got.
