BOSTON WINS
SECOND GAME
Deals Double and Steal to Third in Ninth
Scored Only Run Of the Came

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-In a pitchers
battle with a dramatic climax, usually
reserved for baseball, the Boston Ma
tionals defeated the Philadelphia
Americans here today in the second
game Of the worlds series by score
OF to 0. AS a result the Braves left
for Boston tonight with two game
lead over the Athletics and tho added
advantage of playing the next two con-
tests on their home grounds when the
series is resumed Monday.
| Although the Aemrican League
champions were forced to bow for the
second time in two days. to the SUPER
Tor play OF their National League riv-
ais, they offered a far more determined
opposition than was the case Friday.
For eight innings the two clubs bat
tied behind the pitching Of James and
Plank without the semhlance of an ad-
vantage. Then came the break.
ScOreless to the Ninth.
! James had been pitching wonderful
ball and Plank, while not quite as; ef-'
| fective, had, with the aid OF his re-
markable infield. held Boston score
less. The Athletics veteran twirier
was working as smoothly as at the be-
ginning OF the game when Maranville-
faced him at the opening of the ninth
inning. The phantom-like short stop
went out, Barry 10 McInnis. and Deal,
substitute third baseman in place of
Red" Smith, stepped to the plate. The
Athletic followers already were figur-.
ing on what chance their players had
to win olt In the ninth. Dea! and
James appeared to be easy outs The
| Boston third sacker, who had hit into
three double plays on Friday and
| forced three teammates In today's
game. was not considered a batting
factor.
Deal Makes Only Run.
/ 1t was Deal, however. who upset
Plank's expectations and the Athletics
chances. He drove q long double over
Strunk's head and q moment later
stole third when Schang threw low to
Barry to catch Deal off the base. Bar-
ry turned to throw to third, but for
some reason held the ball and Deal
was safe. James famed, but Mann
lifted low, puzzling Texas Lacquer
over Collins head. Although the lat
ter made great try for the ball, he
Just, touched 1t with his fingers and
sprawled in the turf, Deal dashing
across the plate with the solitary nun
CT tue game.
Replied With Great Rally.
To this the Athletics replied with
q great rally in their half of the ninth
and James. who had carried the game
on his shoulders alone up to this point,
began to totter. The thousands of
rooters fofSthe home club were stamp
ingsan6 cheering IA unison and Barry
waited patiently until James passed
him to first. Schang famed, but Walsh,
batting for Plank, also was walked by
the ratified pitcher.
With two on ard one out the fans
felt sure the Mackmen were to break
through and win, and the uproar was
ldeafening. Eddie Murphy. lead-off man
for the Athletics, stepped to the plate
and catching one Of James' curves full

Maranville sprang with the craCk. tof
the bat and with a cat-like bound

leap toachod the bag, forcing Walsh
With almost the same motion he snap
ped the ball to Schmidt at first for
a double on Murphy and second later
went down in cloud of dust as Walsh
crashed into him at top speed. When
he scrambled to his feet the other
players were running for the club
house and the game was saved.
Pitched Wonderful Game.
This play came at a most opportune
and dramatic moment, for James had
begun to falter after pitching a game
which for skill and control, never has
been surpassed in worlds series
match in this city. not even In twirl-
ling duels in which Christy Mathewson,
Bender and Plank have figured. The
Boston boxman had perfect control
cnanse or pace and splitter that
broke like tightening. He famed eight
ing Murphy. Oldring, McInnis, and
Strunk. and when the batters did con-
meet with his delivery the usual re-
suit was a weak hoist or roller. This
is best demonstrated by the fact that
"a CT the 81 put outs made by Bos.
ton were credited to the infield or bat
teries. @
Only Two Reach Second.
JAMES gave three passes, two COM
ing In the ninth inning. The Mackmen
got but two players safely past first
and had but one left on bases. or the
two charged against James the one OF
Collins would have been an easy out
for Evers. but for the fact that 1t
bounded SO high the batter beat the
throw by a step,
Plank. while he pitched a splendid
game for his club was forced to d.
vide more honors with i:is teammates
than James.
Fielding Helps Pitcher.
The veterans pitc hing was not quite
the enigma to the Boston batters that
James was to the White Elephants.
