was his slugging that put Bender
hors de combat for the first time In
his worlds series career.
Meanwhile was there with two
timely swats that sent runs home
after Gowdy had pounded q breach
in the Athletic defenses. One OF
placed poke over first that was one
OF the Willie Keller kind of hits, and
as II yielded the third run and put
Rudolph on easy street, II counted
for more than did Gowdy's long
smashes.
So far as actual defensive work
goes, the battle was about even.
Neither team had many opportunities
for brilliant work. and both arose 20
the occasion whenever chance was
presented Barry and Meanwhile
made magnificent catches OF short
drop files over the inneld and the
speed of the two infieids was attested
by the Ave double plays that broke
rallies.
think the greatest play OF the
game was Butch Schmidt's In the
second innin& when, after catching
q foul at dificult angle, he made q
wonderful throw TO third that cut
down a runner and broke the Ath-
letics rally when II seemed they
would even up the count and start
anew. Deal handled the bounding
fast throw perfectly, and deserves q
lot OF credit.
Boston's rooters captured Philadel
phia last night and are mad with ex-
element. but as a matter OF fact
there Is small reason for them to cell
citrate. Even in defeat the Athletics
revealed to students of the game the
weakness OF the Boston team. The
loss OF Smith could scarcely have
been more vividly revealed than II
was today. With Smith ut third, the
chances are that the Braves would
have scored 10 instead Of seven runs.
Three times Deal was up In the pinch
and three times hit into double plays,
and the other time he struck out.
Schmidt looked bad as q first base
man. save for his one great play.
There was not a sign Of the weak
ening OF Mack's great machine. II
looked just as good as ever, save for
the fact that II was stopped by Ru-
dolph's pitching. Whenever IL had
anything to do, IL did IL, and did Il
brilliantly. Collins and Baker pulled
one great double play. and Collins
made one of the most wonderful
plays OF the game In breaking down
a base hit, shaping the ball to Barry
while going In the other direction,
and Barry. by a lightning throw To
first, came near turning the base hit
into an out.
Outside OF Strunk's amazing slow
ness In getting started in two in
stances, the Athletics looked just the
same and they seemed a better ball
club than the one that beat them.
The selection OF pitchers for TO
days game was a vital problem.
was with the Braves last night and
they are all spurred to the top ten
sion and all want TO pitch. Stallings
was non-committal, but the chances
favored Tyler, who believes he car
beat the Athletics. Mack frankly de
cfared he would pitch Plank, ant
that he expected TO win today's game
Mack followed set rules IN yester
days game, save In sending wyckof
In as the relief pitcher. This fellow
looked good, had a lot Of luck ant
got away with Il save for one run
which scored because OF a high throw
to the plate.
The outlook now 10 for q lon,
