manlike spirit, praising the winners and
offering no excuses for their failure 20
hold their National league rivals in check.
OutpIay Mackmen.
In fact. none are available. for the Boz
tonians outplayed and outgamod their
more experienced opponents in every game
and department OF play The best that
could be said Of the Athletics by their
varmest admirers was that the team
neither collectively nor a. individuals ap-
pearod to get going in the fem shown in
previous world series.
To crush completely and decisively the
great combination which has represented
Philadelphia In the American league In
recent years Is honor enough for any rival
base ball club, but the Braves in their
youthful ardor and speed did even better,
for they established a new worlds series
record by winning In succession the four
games necessary 10 clinch the title.
Not Done since 1908.
Not since the National commission as
suned charge OF these annual interleague
contests In 1896 has this feat been achieved
until today. Several clubs have won four
OF five games and in the early days Of
the Temple cup and National league
against American association straight vic
tories were chronicled In 1884 Providence
defeated tho Metropolitans three straight.
In 1894 the New York club defeated Balti-
more in four games for the Temple cup
and two years later Baltimore won four
consecutive victories from Cleveland.
The Athletics fought doggedly until the
end and even late in the game OF today
their adherents who had made them two
to one favorites in the wagering before
tho opening contest, confidently believed
they would start a batting rally that
would bring about at least momentary
check I'm tho Braves headlong run. but

lead until the end.
Honor 20 Evers.
To Captain Johnny Evers fell the honor
OF scoring the initial run OF the final
game Of the 1914 series. lie opened the
fourth session by working Shawkey for
n pass, advanced to second on Connollys
intield out and moved to third on Whit
teds single and scored on Schmidts In
field out
The Athletics tied the score In the fifth
inning, when Barry Singled, took second
on schang's out and scored on Shawkey's
double Nothing daunted, the Braves
came right back in their half OF the same
inning and won the game with two add
tional runs. both made after two were
out. Rudolph singled to center. took
third on Morans double 20 left and both
came home when Evers singled over sec
ond. The Athletics appeared to lose heart
and never seriously threatened In the re-
manning sessions at bat
