There is NO discounting the fact
that spirit and nre and sheer conf
dence triumphed over the superior
strength and ability OF the worlds

Athletics, for the first time in their
victorious career, finding themselves
forced and pressed at every turn.
have wilted.
Deals Hit Wins Game.
Today, when in the ninth inning,
Deal, the batting Joke OF the series
and the man who seven times IN sue.
cession In the two games had failed
miserabiy. faced Plank, old psychology
cut into the struggle. He waded into
fast ball, desperately hit 1t far and
high to center, and landed on second
base. The scene that followed that
drive, which moment later was turn
e ]. into a score, shows why Boston to-
night is strong favorite instead OF
the hopeful long shot in the series.
When Deal reached home as Mann's
dropping fly fell in right field In spite
OF Collins desperate attempt to reach
it, the Athletics seemed sullen and
discouraged, while on the Boston
bench. there was enacted one OF the
most remarkable scenes ever Witness
ed on q ball field
Thirty Men Go Mad.
Thirty men in uniform who have
struggled so CALAMITY through the
year. leaped from their seats. and
kissed each other, pounded each other
on the backs, danced, shouted,
screamed. They Rugged Deal and
cried.
Stallings, beside himself, placed his
arms around Deal and leaped up and
down. The players say tears were
rolling down his face. It was the mad.
ness OF excitement and enthusiasm
and q climax OF one OF the most re-
markable games ever played. Seldom
have there ever been more exciting
moments.
It was strenuous struggle right
from the start. James until this spring
almost an unknown, faced the Athlet-
les and stopped them. Not only did
he stop their batting but he held them
closer to first base than / have ever
seen them held; he nipped one run
ner OF the bag; he pitched as stead
lily and as wonderfully as II in an ex-
hibition game.
Athletics Lose Spirit.
And the spirit went out OF the Ath-
letics. They were driven back on the
defensive-all their plans were wreck
ed. They were outguessed and it
seemed as il not only were they dis
couraged but that they had lost their
thinking power. Twice they started
bunting in desperate hope OF tieing the
score, for the first time being willing
to abandon their old tactics Of slug
ging out victory. Baker was joke
at bat McInnis was helpless and Col
Inns. the mighty, was swinging at bad
balls.
oIdring Hit Like Weakiins.
Oldring, who is far of form, due
to family worries and his sudden loss
OF prestige in his own club, was hit

was very good today. His fast ball

WANDERED AFFAIR

Several months ago in Greenville,
there was q case that came before
the eyes of the Piedmont public, in
which Jefferson ID. Nix was charged
with some henious crimes which the
authorities alleged were perpetrated
against his neice. Nix came near be-
Ing lynched In Greenville and after
some timo was finally lodged in tho
jail, for safe keeping until trial
could be had, At the trial Friday he
was acquitted OF the crimes and set

During the time that the stir was
made In Greenyillc. there was an old
man named r. Il. Nunnaly who was
at the Greenyllle county homo. He
brought cnt another cEarss, or ratii-
er brought 10 light sentence that
awaited Nix in Anderson county.
There was much said about the Nix
Nannaly case In the newspapers and

Whether or not this is true he does

Nix said yesterday that one of his
three Greenville attorneys, Dean
Cothran or Price, would come to An
derson today and steps will be taken
to have him freed. He believes that
the court will take cognizance of his
appeal for new hearing and will
consider giving him his freedom, ON
account OF the fact that so many years
have elapsed since the affair took
place and the additional fact that no
lasting harm was done.
Nix has great faith in his brilliant
array Of legal talent from Greenville
and he is confident that they will be
able to do something for him when
they reach Anderson today.

Early yesterday morning the city Of

in all three cases, following which
Jordan was released.
The club with which It % charged
Jordan was connected was on the Sec
ond floor of the Pepper building on
Whitner street. When the police mad

Yesterday Took Up the Ques-
ton With Congressman.

That there is a, crying need for an
ether mail clerk on the Charleston

ledged fact but according to those de-
string this service, needing it and get
