this point. when so much could be
written, but it was my particular busi-
ness to-day to tell of the game play by
play, and here it is.
First Inning.
Boston-Eddie Plank had all his
wonderful speed in the first inning;
but five men faced him. Collins made
a good stop of fast one from Mann
and the runner was out at first, but
Evers was safe On a clever bunt, which
Plank felded but did not attempt to
throw. Gather, playing in ConnOlly's
place, struck out on three pitched balls,
and, while Plank passed Whitted.
Schmidt ended the frame by flying to
Strunk in centre, thus leaving two men
on the bases.
Philadelphia-Th Athletics were
quickly retired. Murphy walked to
first, but made a short stay. The ball
got away from Schmidt when James
tried to catch him off the bag, but the
big frat baseman made a quick throw
to Maranville and got the runner at
second on a close decision. Deal then
threw ont Oldring and Collins.
Second Inning.
Boston-Hank Gowdy maintained his
perfect batting record by waiting out
Plank and getting free passage 20 first.
He went 10 second as Baker threw out
Maranville, but was trapped and run
down on Deals tap to Plank. The Bos-
ton third baseman stole second, but
James struck OLt.
Philadelphia 1t was another case cf

who found James a battling puzzle.
Baker fouled to Schmidt, while Nc
Innis and Strunk waited or swung in
vain as the ball came ducking over the
plate.
Third Inning.
Boston Mann was repulsed by Barry
and Mclnnis 10 start the third inning,
but the Boston fans shouted as Evers
single TO centre. Gather flied TO Baker
and Evers was easily caught stealing
second.
Philadelphia James pitched
only eight balls IN Philadelphia half
81 the inning. Barry flied TO Gather.
Schang did the same. the fielder max
ing a pretty catch. while Plank struck
out on three in row.
Fourth Inning.
Boston-The braves made TWO clean
hits off Plank IN the fourth frame, but
no runs. Whitted flied to Strunk as a
starter Schmidt singled TO right, but
Gowdy spoiled his record by driving a
long fy TO Murphy. Maranville then
hammered a sirgle to right, but was
forced at second for the third out when
Barry made a clever play on an ugly,
twisting bounder from Deal and
touched the bag.
Philadelphia ia-The Athletics Jared no
better in their half of the fourth than
they had in the other three, and again

three ba,ters. Murphy died ~ FIRST or

This is the second daughter born to

with one out, Schang doubled just in
side of third base. He tried to get to
third on short passed ball, but
Gowdy's great throw caught him in a
close decision, which made the sup
porters of the Athletics groan with dis
pleasure. Again they groaned when
James caught Collins mapping IN the
seventh. although the runner was
plainly out.
McInnis made a great play IN the
eighth inning, when he came of the
bag to take Barry's wide throw OF
Gathers splash. Mclnnis touched the
base by rolling over and getting MS
left hand on the bag.
Then came the ninth, and destiny

Eddie Plank get a belt that fits him?
Plank was not the only player at the
game to face difficulties. Of course he
was under severe strain, yet never
was his situation so distressing as that
of Matty ard Ty Cobb in the sixth
inning.
"Say." said the chief operator of the
Western Union to the two reporters,
"Wheres your copy? New York says
it hasn't had a line yet"
Ty looked at Matty and Matty looked
al Cobb For a minute or two Matty
gazed upward. Though never a sptball

wrote, "All roads led to Shibe Park to-
day"
Cobb was off with all his baserun-
ming speed, and his pencil fairly few
across the paper. Matty gazed over his
rivals shoulder and read: To-day
Shibe Park was a rooters' Rome"
Silently and sorrowfully Matty tore

gazed aloft again. At last came in

said is copyrighted and may not be set

Matty and Cobb were right All

Barry's throw compelled the first base
man to make long stretch.
Before the series critics said that
Charlie Schmidt had weak arm, but
he made fine throw in the first inn
ing, when he cut down Murphy at sec
ond after missing q toss from James.
This did much to steady the pitcher,
Just as Schmidt's great throw IN the
first game contributed to the peace OF
mind Of Dick Rudolph.
