Boston, Oct. PA giddy toss to
third base by Joe Bush in the twelfth
inning brought today's contest at Fen
way Park to an abrupt end and gave
the Boston Braves the third game of
the worlds series over the Athletics
by a score Of to 4. This whimsical
throw by Bush was fraught with trag-
edy for the Mackmen, making a last
desperate stand to hold their fading
glory. On this foolish bit of school
boys error hinged the most nerve
racking struggle that has ever been
played in the national classic.
The purple haze OF eventide was
gathering over Fenway Park. and the
80, $50 persons Who had set for more
than threehours were restless and fat
igued as they looked down. from all
sides OF the solid banks of humanity,
at the figures which moved about
phantomlike in the twilight. The
score was TO T. and Boston was at
the bat in the last half of the
twelfth inning.
The rawboned Texan. Hank Gowdy
the Giant CASTOR. stepped TO the plate
swinging vicious looking bat. Hank
had already battered Bush's pitching
for a home run and a two-bagger.
Bush had not only Gowdy to fear. He
had bowling yelling hostile popu-
lace, making his eardrums ache with
a raucous clamor. These victory.
thirsty thousands demanded the sac
ifice Of Connie Maeks stalwart fling
ing youngster to complete Boston
holiday. The ball was hardly
from the stands. Gowdy swept his
bat across the plate as freely as a
reaper moving down the golden
grain. The shock of his bat sent the
ball soaring into the midst OF the
Royal Rioters in the left field bleach
crs. Stallings then rushed Larry Gil
bert in as a pinch hitter. and sent
Leslie Mann out to second to run foc
the red-headed GOwdy
Tho wits of Stallings we're matched
against the wits OF Mack. Bush look
ed over to the Athletics bench. Mack
wigwagged for him to pass the pinch
hitter 1t looked like a good bit Of
strategy. for il would put a runner on
first and second and enhance the
possibilities OF force out at third or
a double play Bush threw out four
balls and Gilbert went to first.
Herb Moran was next az the bat,
and he did just exactly the thing that
the rcsourceful Mack expected. He
dropped q bunt down along the third
base line. Il was Bushs play TO get
the ball to Baker at third and force
Mann.
Poor Bush, Cool under fire all afte-
noon. the strain had been too much
for him. lie got the ball. whiried
about. and made a CHASTITY throw to
third which was out Of Bakers reach
and Mann rushed home with the vic
tory. The crowd went wild. All the
feeling and enthusiasm. which had
been bottled mp as the game seesawed
one way and the other. burst forth
with unrestrained fury. The mob
jammed down the field and smother
ed the Boston players in a demonstra-
ton Of fanatical JOY which has rare
ly been seen at a baseball game.
