In Previous Game.

1914 worlds championship. 1hey de-
feated the Athletics by a score of 3 to
/, and thus performed the unpreced-
ented feat Of winning a worlds series
in four straight games. With this feat
they earned more than ever their title
of the Miracle Men. Having risen
from the bottom of the National Lea
que to first place between July and
September, the great victory of the
Braves is a fitting climax to the most
wonderful season baseball team ever
enjoyed. To two pitchers goes the
credit for the defeat of the Athletics.
Rudolph and James get the credit for
the quartet of victories.
Both of Rudolph's were clean-cut,
the last coming today. James won a
sensational game Saturday, holding
the Athletics to two hits. He then got
credit for yesterdays game, relieving
Tyler when the score was tied. From
start to finish the Braves have out
hit, outgamed, outgeneralled and out
guessed the Athletics. Their infield
overshadowed the famous 100000 in
field of Mack. Connie Mack showed
everything he had and lost. He re-
lied on his veterans, Bender and
Plank, in the first two games and they
fell; then he turned to the youngsters
and Bush went down yesterday and
Shawkey and Pennock today.
The Braves put their game away
this afternoon in the fifth inning, af-
ter two men were out. Rudolph start
ed the rally and won his own game
with single. Moran followed with
double. and when Evers shot one to
safe territory both Rudolph and Mo-
ran dashed across.
Rudolph did not pitch as great a
game today as that Of last Friday, but
it was good enough to beat the Ath-
letics. He was hit steadily up to the
fifth inning. One safe blow was reg
istercd off his delivery ia each Of the
first three innings. In the fourth and
fifth he was touched for two hits. Only
Shawkey's double, however, in the
fifth, after Barry had singled, scored
a run. IN the next four inning only
IL men faced Rudolph. He famed six
men during the entire game.
The luck was against young Shaw
key. He held the Braves hitlcss three
innings and the got only a scratch
hit in the fourth. This resulted in a
tying run, however, and in the next
session the game was put away.
The Braves were carried off the
field on the shoulders of wildly cheer
ing fans. The Athletics got away as
quickly as possible. Thousands then
damned the field before the Braves
bench, giving rousing cheers for Presi-
dent Gaffney, Sailing, Evers, Gowdy,
the hitting heroes of the series, and
other members Of the team.
Stallings and Gaffney delivered
short speeches. The Royal Rooters'
Band played "Tessie" and all Boston
took the lid off.
