BOSTON, Mass. Oct. 13.--There is
no beating that gallant Boston base
ball team, it seems. The Braves have
won again, have made it three
straight games, and the prospects are
they will win the fourth game today
and accomplish the most malvelous
feat ever chronicled in worlds series
baseball. Whether such a thing
comes to pass or not, the Braves have
already performed a wonderful stunt.
With few Of the thousands upon
OF fans giving them a look
In before the big battle opened, they
have come through in the three games
already played and beaten the great
Athletics team right out
Of their boots. They beat them on
Friday handily, they beat them on
in hair-raising finish, and
they beat them yesterday in a twelve
inning frenzied battle, by the score
Of to 4. The first game was good
enough for anyone to watch, the sec
ond was pronounced a hummer, but
the third game, without a word OF
doubt, was the best of all--the best
worlds series game everybody said,
that ever was played
@
1t was a truly marvellous game for
the Braves to win. The Athletics had
the edge from the very start. They
were the first to score and right in
the first inning at that, but the Braves
never allowed them to get away from
them. They met every attack and
when the Mackmen scored they came
right back in the same inning and
scored or the next inning and scored.
The Athletics set the pace, all right,
but the Braves, playing with hearts of
steel and nerves Of iron, followed
close in their wake and finally, with
great odds against them. caught their
opponents and overwhelmed them.
AS inning after inning went by
the tremendous crowd of more than
So, 900 yelled themselves into a frenzy
at the grand exhibition of the Boston
men. Scenes that beggar description
by the mightiest men of the pen were
enacted throughout the contest, and
when the game was over and the
Braves had won-well, I will leave it
to the fans themselves to picture in
their minds, as best they can, Just
what took place. 1t is too much for
me, I'll admit
Boston Is wild over It's ball team,
ager. and the fans went wild when
the Braves grabbed victory out of the
fire. To all appearances, the game
was lost In the tenth inning, when the
scored two runs, but the
gamest little ball team that ever bat
tied for a flag would not be denied.
1t came out in its half of the tenth,
and, after a gallant uphill fight, tied
the score for the third time in the
game. And then in the twelfth in
ming, with darkness setting in, the
Braves came through to victory with
the necessary tally. 1t was well done,
Boston; it was a triumph in every
sense of the word
@
The Braves are the best and they
won because of their superior base
ball skill. They showed more straight
baseball, more inside" baseball, moro
all-around baseball than the Ath-
Ietics. They won on their merits. and
only complete upset will prevent
them from winning the fourth and
final game of the series today. Four
In a row for Boston is the prediction,
and such a feat against such a team
Of opponents is a wonderful feat in
deed. Yet that is the opinion ex-
pressed on all sides here today and
no one seems able to offer an argu-
ment to the contrary.
@
George Stallings fooled everybody
by pitching George Tyler in yester-
days game. If the truth were known
Stallings must have fooled himself.
He let everybody believe that he was
going to work Dick Rudolph, who
won such a glorious victory on the
opening game; but when the time
came around he sent Tyler to the
post, and he surely did the right
thing. Big Bill James finished the
game, but Tyler held his own while
he was in the box. He was taken out
In the tenth inning to let Josh De-
wore bat for him, but this was
because It was wise to do so, and not
because Tyler was not well able to
continue his good work. James him
self was relieved in the twelfth in
ming. when Gilbert was sent in to bat
for him. This was more brainy base
bali on the part of Manager Stallings.
and It worked out well, for Gilbert
was given his base on balls, and
Moran. who followed him, made a
dinky little bunt that eventually won
the game. Stallings would have
badly If he had pitched
Rudolph. 1t was his play to pitch
Tyler, no matter what the outcome,
and he surely showed himself to be
the Miracle Man" by sticking to the
system that won for him the Ma
tional League pennant by working his
three great twirlers in their turn.

Luck goes with the winner, OF
course, but good fortune has fol-
lowed the Judgment of Stallings
throughout the series. AS reward
