The youthful combination that Mana
ger George staliings has gathered
around him TO represent this city IN
the senior league. Repeatedly the
Philadelphia team would battle its
way into the lead. only to witness its
rival draw alongside again in the same
or the succeeding inning. Never once
curing the long and nerveracking
contest did the Braves cease their at.
TACK Both from an individual and
collective standpoint they deserved
the victory they won.
The American Leaguers were the
urst to score. sending a run across the
plate In the opening inning on MUIR
phys two-base salute on Tyler's de-
livery. He moved TO thru on Old
rings sacrifice. and scored when Con-
molly dropped Collins high fly The
Braves tied the score In the second In
ming on Maranvfle's walk. steal OF Sec
ond and sprint to the plate on Gowdys
double into the left Geld bleachers.
In the fourth each team added an
other run. For the Athletics. McInnis

on Walsh's single to left. Schmidt re-
sponded for the home team with a

oo~dy Gets Homer.
Gowdy started the Braves rally
with a home run into the bleachers
back OF center field. Moran got a pass
on Bush. went to third on Evers' sin
gle over second. and came home on
Connoiiy's sacrifice fly. Again the
score was tied.
Another inning and a half passed
without result. but when Catcher
Gowdy came to bat for Boston In the
twelfth session he opened with a
double TO left field, his third hit of
the game. From the midway bag he
called for a relief runner and Mann
was sent to his place. Bush purposely
passed Gilbert. sent in as a pinch
hitter for James. When Moran bunt-
ed half way between third and the
pitchers box. Bush grabbed the bali
and attempted to catch Mann at Bak-
er's station Bullet" Joe's throw
was Wild. The ball went into left
feld. the relief runner rounded third
and romped home with the winning
run and the Braves third victory in
three games.
Although Gowdy did not cross the
plate with the run which his double
started. he was he hero OF the game.
His two doubles and home run in four
times at bat were the feature hits OF
the contest. Captain Johnny Evers
was second with three singles and
Schmidt. Deal and Maranville also
contributed opportune hits. Murphy.
with two doubles and Baker with a
double and a single. were the Ath.
letic batters.
The battery work was not as clean
cut or spectacular as in the preceding
games. In addition TO Bush's wild
throw that closed the contest. Catcher
Schang was charged with an error
for the Athletics. Bush in twelve IN
.nings famed four and walked an I'M
usual number OF Boston batters. Ty-
Ter struck out four and passed three
Mackmen in ten innings, while James !
famed one and walked three in his |
two periods on the mound.
Fielding honors were divided by
Baker with two successive stops and
throws In the ninth inning. and /
Schmidt. who. IN the eighth inning. |
got Bush's whistllng drive along the |
base line with a handed stab and I
while prone on the ground threw the /
runner out at first Connolly con- |
tributed the Braves only error when
he dropped Collins hoist in the open
ing inning.
