Boston, Mass, Oct. 13.-The fur
few at Fenway park in a slashing
game-twelve innings in length-the
third Of the series between the Braves
and Athletics and won by the Braves
by score of to 4. The game, the
most desperately fought of any worlds
series contest, was worked up to a
dramatic finale and was finished in
the fading light of evening. Three
times the Braves tied the score: They
tied it in the second. the fourth and
the tenth innings and in the twelfth,
Leslie Mann running for Gowdy,
danced over the goal with the win
ring run.
Gowdy Real Star Of Series.
Mann became base runner for
Gowdy just after Gowdy had poled 2
towering two Dagger into the left field
bleachers In the twelfth. Gowdy's
prowess with his bat has been the
outstanding feature Of the series so
far.
The $4,000 fans present never had
a mon ent's relaxation. The two teams
were on top of each other all the way,
planning and striking for runs.
From the eighth inning on the
Braves were in deep water nearly all
the time. The ninth, tenth and twelfth
were especially trying for them. Bad
judgment by Tyler in throwing ball
to second base instead of first started
the Boston distress, and It was added
to by a still worse case of mental
erring.
Johnny Evers Misses a Play.
The offender in the latter case was
John Evers, who stood still on the
second base line. holding the ball
while Eddie Murphy, quick to take
advantage Of an opening, raced home
from third. The Evers incident came
in the thick OF bristling sequence of
events. which included a scratch hit
by Baker to Evers which sent in a
run. John redeemed himself In the
second half OF the throbbing tenth.
He rammed splitting single to right
which went far toward producing
Boston's tying run.
Baker There With Stick.
II was Frank Bakers bat that ac-
counted for the two runs OF the Ath-
letics in the tenth, when 1t seemed
they had won. Schang singled and
after Bush struck out Murphy was
safe on a fielder's choice Oldring was
cut down, Tyler to Evers to Schmidt.
Tyler deflectin0 the ball with his
glove. Collins then walked and Baker
drove in a crashing single to Evers.
on which Schang and Murphy scored.
In the ninth inning, with one out,
Baker threatened to break up the
game when he doubled. but the sue
ceeding batters Called to deliver the
needed hit
TIE din during the tenth inning was
such as probably was never heard be-
fore in a ball park as the Boston root
ers pulled for rally 1t was a con-
tinuOus scream and yell, mingled with
the barring of the Royal Rooters'
band
The Athletic infield put their hands
about their mouth TO make themselves
heard in exchanging orders
Collins Nap Costly.
Ccllins' snooze pulled the Braves
out OF bad hole in the first inning.
The Boston outfit was plainly neryc,,S
and Tyler heaying the ball with poor
control when Collins was caught cff
second.
This was the slowest game Of the
series TO date Neither Tyler nor
Bush appeared certain of their control.
Bush especially loitered. walking
around the box leisnrely between each
ball pitched.
he young Philadelphia mound man
did rot fed as well as he pitched.

of his that Mann tore of the last
lap on TIE journey in the twelfth in

tllat had it gone true to third base.
