 Mack's Wonderful Machine Smashed. Last and far from the least of their accomplishments was the overthrow in four consecutive games Of the world famous baseball machine of Connie Mack with Its hundred thousand dollar | infeld, home run heroes and corps or | skilfully blended veteran and youthful | pitching stars.

 To the victors belong the spells and the credit, and unexpected as was the crushing defeat, the Mackmen took it
 in sportsmanlike spirit praising the winners, and offering no excuses for l their failure to hold their National league rivals in check. In fact. none are available, for the Boston club out
 played and out-gamed their more ex- 5 perienced opponents in every game
 and department of play. The best that could be said of the Athletics by their
 warmest admirers was that the team |. neither collectively nor as individuals I appeared to get going in the manner 1 shown in previous worlds series. | Braves Achieved Great Feat.
