and he was crowded off the bag and
nailed. The other chance that the
Athletics lost was when Walsh, after
seemingly slowing away the game
with hit, walked into trap and
was caught off second with no one
out. Evers took the throw with one
hand, showed it on the runner ana
broke up the batters. From that play
on, the Athletics we're beaten ball

movement and they went to destruc.

No Excuse for Athletics.
There is not an excuse for the
Athletics. They were whipped be-
cause they lacked the nerve and fight.
They had as many and even better
chances to win as did the Braves.

amazing victory. The Athletics sim

Boston simply is insane and the en-

Most visitors, including New Workers

gone. Personally, we feel as did Tom

word that John l.. Sullivan had been
whipped. He read the dispatch and

From the time the Braves started

4 -.
HUGH Fullerton the title yesterday
and won for the astonishing Braves
not only the title but the first time
it has ever been made in four straight
games. They beat the great Ath-
letics SO easily that yesterdays great
crowd seemed more like a congrega-
ton at wake than throng watch
ing the finale of worlds champion
ship series.
1t was not as if the Athletics broke
and threw away their games. They
did not. They played their game
and played it perfectly and were
beaten by the rush and determination
OF the Braves. The Athletics played
just as they always do, figured the
plays the same way and were stopped
by pitching.
Braves Played to Form.
The Braves played more truly to
their form than any team in any
less than five per cent above what
was expected of them and the Ath-
1etics were less than eight per cent
below what We expected them to do.
But the Braves. by that invincible
and un-understandable courage that
carried them through the National
league season, swept the Athletics off
their feet and beat them. 1t was not
youth against age; weary team
but it was a fighting aggressive, I'M
daunted club. against one playing this
game according to their prescribed
rule and trying to match skill and
science against nerve and verve. The
final game was almost foregone
conclusion. The Braves were filed
with that indomnitable spirit that
has carried armies and men to vic
tory, and the Athletics, beaten and
whipped at every turn and stopped
by every kind Of pitching, dropped
their dobbers.
Charges Macks Laid Down.
1t is a serious thing to charge a
team with quitting, but the Athletics
quit in the final game and insead OF
fighing in the last ditch they went
methodically through the game as if
they were the very dear friends of
the dead departed. paying their final
respects.
1t was a calm and Unconditional
game in spite of the fact that ex and
present mayors Of Boston cluttered
up the playing field and press-agented
themselves. There was about as
much of the emotional to it as there
is to killing day on the farm. The
Athletics fought along steadily, stol
idly and Father Mack remained like
a long icicle on the bench while his
men retired inning after inning with
out forcing the assault upon Rudolph
who was pitching a magnificent game
of ball. On the other hand Stallings
men were hustling. fighting, riotins
on the bench, scratching the gravel
and winning. They were the first tt
score and although the Mackmer
evened it up, they came through
with two more smashes that drove il
runs.
