PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l0-In a climax usually reserved for baseball fiction, the Boston Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Americans in the second game of the worlds series
 The Braves left for Boston tonight with d two game lead, and the addsd advantage of playing the next two games on their home grounds, begin ming Monday.
 The Athletics offered far more determined opposition than on Fri day. For eight innings the two clubs battled behind the pitching or James and Plank without the sem blance of an advantage. Then came the break and the game slipped away from the Mackmen. After Maranvllie was out in the ninth inning, Deal and James appeared to be easy ours. Deal, however, upset Plank's expec- tations and drove a long double over Strunh's head, and a moment later stole third when Schang threw low to Barry to catch Deal off base. Barry turned to throw to third, buL held the ball, and Deal was safe. Whether Barry was not close enough to the bag or Barry believed it was too late to head off the runner is no. known
 James famed but Mann lifted q low, puzzling Texas leaguer over Col lins head. The latter touched it with his finger tips, then sprawled on the turf, Deal flashing across the plate.
 The Athletics repied with a rally in their half of the ninth, and James. who had carried the game on his shoulders alone up to this point, be- gan to totter. Barry and Walsh, who vas batting for Plank, walked, and the fans were sure the Mackmen were due to win. But d lightning like double play ended the game, Maranville catching Marphy's ground CT high in the air, and with another leap touched the bag, forcing Walsh. And the same motion snapped the ball to first for a double on Murphy.
 James was pitching unhittable ball until the ninth, and Plank, though not quite as effective. but with the aid of his remarkable infield, heli Boston scoreless.
 Maranvilles scintillating play came at the most opportune and dra- matic moment, for James had begun to falter after pitching a game which for skill and control was never sur rassed in q worlds series, not even in the terrific duels in which Ma theWson Bender and Plank have fig ured. The Boston boXman had per feet control, d change of pace. and Q splitter that broke like forked light ming. He famed eight heavy hitting Athletics, Murphy, Oldring, Mclnnis. and Strunk, and when the batterS did connect with his delivery thr usual result was a weak hoist or | roller. James gave three passes, two coming in the ninth when the Athlet- ics were nearest to scoring. The Mackmen got only two players safe ly past first and had but one left on base Of the two hits off James, Collins would have been an easy out for Evers but for the fact that it bounded so high that the batter beat the throw by a step.
 Plank. while he pitched a splendid game for his club, was forced, to divide more honors with his team mates than James. The pitching of the Athletics veteran was not quite the enigma to the Boston batters that James was to the White Ela-
