Four straights for the Braves!
 This is the "grandoldope' this morning from Kamchatka to Przemysl. Look for a large score with the Braves romping off with all the glory. as the Athletics have broken under the terrific strain. They couldn't stand the gaff of continual rid
 ing and this afternoon in the shadows of old Back Bay they win besswept off their feet by the 'mracle team of Mafanvlle. Gowdy, Evers ct al.
 Already the tocsin of bitter defeat rings in the ears of Connie Mack and his youth ful cohorts. The phantom Eddie Collins, who in days of yore sped like the pro- verbal streak of lightning over the paths and batted like a demon against the most baffling of pitching has been clearly out played by his older rival, the unparalleled Johnnie Evers. Age has decisively triumphed over youth in thissinstance.
 At shortstop it was admitted by all the experts that Rabbit Maranville would outshine Blackjack Barry. However, Barry has played stellar baseball and his fielding has been more spectacular than that of his younger rival, but at the bat Maranvlle has proved a factor only sec ondary to the mighty 'Hanky' Gowdy
 At third, young MT. Deal won one game by timely hit and steal and otherwise has conducted himself as a cool experi- encod player. As for 'Homerun" Frank Baker, he has yet to produce, although his batting and fielding in yesterdays crucial battle was the best far in the series for the Athletics. At first base Sc hmdt, the pepper" man of the Braves, has outclassed the youth Mc1nnis both at the bat and in tho field.
 In the outer gardens the snappy work of Boston's interchangeable outfield has attracted wider attention from the ex- perts than the combination of Strunk, Oldring and Murphy. As for catching honors, they are firmly implanted on the
 broad shoulders of Hank Gowdy. the joke catcher of the season. Hank won the first game by his timely wallops and yesterday repeated.
 As for the pitching there is no com parison with the box work of the National league champions with that of the pen nant winning Athletics. Bender was de- cisively beaten the first game. Ira Plank was humbed in the second contest and yesterday the young phenom Bullet Joe Bush wavered in the twelfth inning and drained to the dregs the cup of de- feat.
 And today the battled scared Athletics return to the fray. 1t makes little dif- ference who the pitching selection of Connie Mack is. Whether it is the vet eran Bender or the youngster Shawkey
