MOST THRILLING GAME
PLAYED IN YEARS
1t seemed that the ball and Murphy
arrived at the first sack at the same
moment. but Byron waved his arm for
an out. And the greatest and most
thrilling gamG of base ball that has
been played for many years, was over.
Inc Athletics to-uay looked HRc q
different ball team than yesterday.
They played with greater dash and
with more spirit. but they were playing
against team that was putting up
the greatest all around baseball exhibi-
tion that has ever been witnessed.
Helpless before the grand pitching Of
James the Athletics made amends by
some startling fielding stunts. Time
and again they cut off runs by some
great work. The story Of the wonder
full defense put up by the Athletics is
told best by the fact that tho Braves
had eleven men left on bases. In eight
CT the nine innings, the Braves got men
OF bases but only once IN those eight
innings. were they able to push across
II run.
Plank pitched good game, but he
was unsteady at times. In pinches he
vas at his best And in pinches his
support was of the best. Collins and
larry, more Especially Barhy, were his
main supports in his battle. and the
amount of ground they covered was
marvellous.
After what happened o-day and what
happened yesterday, only the bravest
Philadelphia fans can be lured into
placing new bets that their pets will
win the series. The Braves have beat
Ell Connie Mack's two best pitchers
and forced him to place his next hope

Braves stu nave the third member OF
I their great trio-Tyler--to hurl at the

The Athletics are in the hole--and
1t isn't likely that they will cfawl,
out IF both the Boston victories
were of flukey order, or if-aven one
was Hule victory. there might be
reason for strong hope. But both vic
tories were clean cut. In both games
the Braves have demonstrated that in
their present form they are peers of
the one-time peerless Athletics
The Braves have out-hit tho Ath-
letics almost three to one. They have
stolen Ave bases. and the Athletics
haven't stolen one. Their two pitchers
have demonstrated their superiority
