ENCOURAGEMENT
IN QUAKER TOWN

Philadelphia, Oct 12.-Sueh enthu-
siasm as the Athletic supporters pre-
viously had not had occasion to mani
fest during the present championship
series gave way today to a profound
silence when the final flash showed the
Braves the victors for the third sue
cessive time. When Murphy and
Schang dashed across the plate in the
10th inning, giving the Mackmen a
two-run lead, a mighty shout went UP
from the thousands of fans who were
watching the progress of the game as
displayed on electric score boards in
many parts of the city. Efforts of tn :
police to preserve order were futile.
Even when Gowdy slammed the ball
for a home run in Boston's half Of the
10th, the crowds did not become 6is-
heartened, but when the Braves again
tied the score confidence in the Mack
men seemed to waver. When the final
flash came expressions that sit seems
to be nearly all over could be heard
from every side.
Three to one was being offered here
tonight that Boston would win the Sc
ries, with few takers. There were sew
eral bets made, however. on tomor-
rows game at even money and 10 to
in favor of Boston
