Four straight victories for the

marvellous achievement. Not one fan

predicted such a thing as has come
TO pass-the doing out by the Braves
TO the Athletics of four successive
beatings. The Braves won Tuesday
and they won the other three games,
not through luck, not because they
got the breaks Of the game, but be
cause they outplayed the Athletics in
every department Of the game.
They Outbatted the smuggling Phila-
delphians, they Outfielded them, they
Outpitched them, they outcaught them
and they outran them. And by their
remarkable showing in this series,
they deserve to rank ahead of the
Athletics-they deserve &c be placed
on the pinnacle of the baseball world
50 that all should pay them homage.
Was Nothing E1uky.
There was nothing fuky about the
Braves first victory in Philadelphia
on Friday. They fairly crushed the
Athletics that day. They played d
game then that caused the experts to
predict that they would be the next
champions of the world unless they
showed a startling reversal of form.
But the reversal did not come, nor did
the crack" come. The Braves held
together because they are welded in
to one solid. compact mass that no
force in baseball at the present time
has been able 10 stop.
The Braves won Saturday because
James, the huge Boston twiTler, held
the enemy in the palm of his hand
and because of the great infield of
the Braves, which backed him up at
critical moments and checked any
Athletic rally that started. The
Braves won on Monday because they
showed their wonderful gameness-
because they fought from behind
time and again. never despairing.
never discouraged. always rushing
forward and rushing forward fast.
The poor judgment of Connie Mack in
the tenth inning OF Mondays game
when ne let Bush remain in the box
with $500 fans shrieking in his ears,
may have helped the Braves, but
maybe il did not. Had Connie sub
stituted some other pitcher ne might
have Jared As did Bush in ~ tenth
and the final twelfth inn[g-and
probably worse.
Braves Are Fighters.
The Braves showed their wonder
full lighting spirit Monday, a spirit OF
the kind that nothing daunts. Moth
ing seemed too hard or impossible for
them TO accomplish on a ball field.
And in this series, nothing was too
hard. They smashed their way TO
the baseball championship of the
world. by the most direct route-fOur
straight games--and in doing so they
esta blished a record for world series
battles that never can be beaten.
There was nothing undeserved,
nothing lucky about the Braves vic
tory Tuesday. They won because they
deserved to win because they
smashed the Athletic defense in
critical moments, and because their
own defense was a Gibraltar in every
crisis.
The Athletics grim. determined and
desperate. started off Tuesday in a
way that made many think their old
batting eyes had come back-that
they had solved the pulling delivery
of DICK Rudolph, the midget Boston
pitcher But just at time when
they began to loom up as dangerous
the defense behind Rudolph frightened
with the infeld executing some of
the most marvellous plays ever seen
ON any ball field and the Athletics
were helpless in their attempt to bat
ter their way to victory.
Boston Takes Lead.
The Braves took the lead in the
fourth inning by scoring one run,
ENprS walked and went to second on
