Boston, Oct. 12,-Bow j. Franklin
Baker; gone is your glory. Redly rises
the new light of the batting world
Hank Gowdy is the Superman Of Swat
! II was the hits of Hank which en-
abled the Boston Braves 10 win their
third straight game from the Phila-
delphia Athletics here this afternoon
by a score of b to 4, after twelve of
the fullest innings which ever graccd
worlds series game.
| A two-base hit by Gowdy drove home
the first run scored by Boston in the
second inning. II was Hank who began
tenth inning rally by putting a
homer into the centre field bleachers,
and in the twelfth his double paved
the way for victory. Great is Gowdy
By winning the Braves practically
assured themselves the worlds cham
pionship, for the Athletics must now
win four straight games to hold their
title. There is no defeating the Braves
these days. They simply will not
allow IT,
In the tenth inning to-day Connie
Mack's men gained a two run lead
against Georye Tyler, when Baker sin
gled with the bases full. Bullet Joe"
Bush. of the Athletics. who beat the
Giants in one game last year, was
pitching with terrific speed and pre-
cision, and the majority Of the vast
Boston crowd Of $500 believed that
the game was gone. But the Braves
demarded referendum.

to the plate and hitting the first ball
pitched to deep centre feid. His drive
landed just in front Of the bieachers
and hoped over the wall. Josh De-
wore was sent out 10 bat for Tyler, be-
cause Stallings believes that the little
man who once played for McGraw is
lucky. He was lucky to-day to touch
the ball once for foul.
Bush had used all his speed before,
and now he added little. After
touching one bail Josh dimly saw two
more flash by. and that was all. Wal
ter Maranville went TO the coacher's
box at first base and began to "ride'
Bush. Like a miniature Stallings, the
little shortstop raved up and down the
lines. He pranced and plunged and
waved his arms, and all the time he
shouted to Bullet Joe" What he
said does not matter. but it is sufi-
cient that Maranville was by no means
neutral.
Moran, at bat. simply waited, and
try as he would, Bush could net keep
his mind or his eye on the batter

swing before lining the ball to right

mad.

End Comes in Twelfth.
The end came in the twelfth. Oi
course. Hank Gowdy had much TO do
with il. The red-topped catcher fouled
off the first ball pitched. but on the
next delivery he met speed with speed
Fast came the ball, but faster moved
