without endangering baseball celeo-

Wheeler had a cub reporter a elther

Barry in story he expects to ind

phrase. a dangerous hitter IN a pinch.
Yet Barry came TO bat twice IN the
game to-day with man on third base.
and twice he struck out. Not until the
ninth inning did Frank Baker hit the
bell out of the inheld. Then he missed

safety. while Strunk was the best bat
tor OF the Athletics. with two hits.
Naranville and Barry each made
brilliant fielding plays. but the Boston
man had much the better Of the days
comparison. for he hit safely twice.
Big Charlie Schmidt outplayed Nc
Innis. Charlie Deal, who subbed at
third base for Red Smith. hit ITO
three double plays. The fourth time
he came up there was nobody on base
nnd his run was broken through no
fault Of his own.
The first inning was a deceptive
opening. 1t gave no hint of the rout
impending for the Athletics. Moran
anG Evers both went out on pop flies
and Connolly struck out On the other
hand, Rudolph. who would have
pitched a shut-out but for an error,
was in grave danger in the first inn
ing, which marked one of the turning
points OF the game. Charles Schmidt,
first baseman Of the Braves, made two
fine plays IN this inning. and II is fair
10 assume that they did much to put
Rudolph solidly on his feet.
Eddie Murphy, first man up. singled
