Worlds Series Record
4 To crush completely and decisively
he great combination which has rep

league in recent years is honor
Enough for any rival baseball club,
L tut the Braves in their youthful ardor

Established q new worlds series rec

essary to clinch the title in success
ion. Not since the National Commits
zion assumed charge of these annual
inter league contests in 1905 has this
Aeat been achieved until today. Sew

n The Famous Punch Gone

bf today, their adherents, who had
/ made them two to one favorites in
he wagering before the opening con-
I lest, confidently believed that they
! you'd start a batting rally that would
bring about at least a momentary
Eheck in the Braves headloEg run,
/ but the Mackmens famous punch ap-
/ beared to be gone. The new champions
we're first to score and except for half
/ In inning when the score was tied,
/ held the lead until the end
II To Capt. Johnny Evers fell the hon
br of scoring the initial run for the
J hnal game of the 1914 series. He open
| Id the fourth session by working
/ shawkey for pass: advanced to sec
bnd on Connollys inf1eld out; moved

I, scored on Schmidt's infield out. The
| Athletics tied the score in the sixth
| inning when Barry singled, took sec
/ md on Schang's out and scored on
| shawkey's double. Nothing daunted,
he Braves came right back in their
+ aalf of the same inning and Won the
rame with two additional runs, both
| made after two were out. Rudolph sin
lied to center. took third on Moran's
| aouble to left and both came home
when Evers singled over second. The
Athletics appeared to lose heart and
| never seriously threatened in the re-
| naming sessions at bat.
/ Smaller Sum to Divide
/ Due to the shortness of the series,

mission divide a smaller sum of mon

The Worlds Series of 1914 was the
9th between the pennant winners OF
ne two major leagues since the Ma
tonal Commission, the highest court OF
baseball, took charge of the annual
Lutumn championship battle in lSVo
today's victory of the Braves brings
bout tie for inter-league honcrs
ince American League and National
league clubs have now each Won i've
championship pennants. The American
league victories and the clubs that
Won them are as follows: 1906, Chica-
20: 1910. Philadelphia 1911, Philadel-
,hia: 1912. Boston; 1918, Philadelphia
The National League triumphs were
Won: 900. New York; 1907. Chicago;
sos. Chicago; 1909, Pittsburg; 1914,
Boston. Connie Mack, the Athletics
eader, is the only manager who to
ate has won three worlds champion
hips and he appears to have stumbled
bver the mystic fourth just as Man
gers McGraw, Jennings, Chance and
Aack have all failed to win four
eague pennants in row.
Least Exciting Game
The final game was the least excit-
ng of the series. There were few bril-
liant fielding features that are not
cen in games during the league sea-
on. Maranville made great stop and
throw on hard hit ball by Collins
Ind Mann brought cheers on a fine
unning catch in the outfield.
The batting was also of the ordinary
lind. Whitfield got two singles. Moran
made double and Evers, Schmidt and
Rudolph each got a base hit.
Seven of the 10 men in the game for
he former worlds champions made a
hit. 1t was their best offense Of the
eries Those failing to connect were

er was at bat only once. The hits
