sHIBE PARK. PHILADELPHIA,
Sept 6--Strange as 1t may seem,
the lowly Athletics actually have
the drop on the Senators when 1t
comes to prestige in the series thus
far. Perhaps you've guessed it.
The truth is that these same Mack
men grabbed the third clash today
when they solved Zachary's slants
and earned a 7-to-1 triumph, mainly
because the Griffmen could not do
much with the banal shoots of
~Southpaw Roy Moore.
The actual credit for the Mackian
triump6 goes to one Cyrus Perkins
eltcher extraordinary and a few
other things.
Perkins Homers Twice.
Things had been progressing nift-
lily for Zachary and a grand old
twirIing battle between two real
eccentrics was in progress until
Perk began to bat home runs. He
registered two of them.
1t looked as though the Griffs
were going to hand Moore a whaling
at the autset. They began to show
Indications of getting him in the
second frame when Miller opened
with a base blow back Of second
base and Harris walked. That was
pretty fair with nobody down. but
Shanks famed and Picinich skied to
Witt. Miller went to third after the
catch, while Harris. stole second.

Of the second the Macks registered
three singles, but Bush and Harris
stopped them with a double killing.
Then came Perkins in the third
inning with his crimin nal assault and
battery. c. Walker had singled and
Perk drove the ball into the bleach
srs for two runs.
Harris got as far as second in the
fou tn when Witt cleanly mis-
Judged his fly, but he died there

in Morocco.
Donie Bush almost did something
in the hfth. He beat out wallop

Picinieh whins.
Miller walked and Shanks singled
in the sixth, but II was all up to
Picinich and he whitfield. a habit that
seemed to develop strongly in the
Grins whenever the chances doomed
best.
Then came Perkins again in the
Mackian half of the sixth. blasting
a line shot into the bleachers for
his second home run.
In the seventh Milan doubled. but
was stranded. Th-t fateful frame
proved the finish of Zachary. Gal

fence and a sacrifice advanced hiT
On Moore's hit to Shanks Galloway
was tagged off third. but Witt
opened the trouble again by Singing
and then Dykes doubled, after which
G Walker also doubled and Zachary
took il on the run to wait for
Moore who was blown out a little
later. Acosta went in to stop the
debacls and succeeded in disposinG
of the enterprising Mr.. Perkins for
the third out. But the mess had re-
suited in three runs. There was one
big laugh for Zachary in the eighth
when the gang got to work on
Moore finally and gave him the
rush. 1t was Rice who showed the
way with a double and Harris rip
ped a hot single off McCann's glove
Harris flied to Johnson, but a pass
to Shanks hIled the bases all up
and when Picinich walked it forced
rice in with a big run.
Sacks Loaded-Turkey Fans.
Brewer was given a chance to
make himself famous when he bat
ted for Acosta, but Connie yanked
Moore of the hill and sent Bryan
Harris to take his place. He
breezed Brewer and Dykes grabbed
Bush's grounded for the third out
The hnal Mack run came in the
ninth with Schacht pitching. Three
singles and an error by Milan let
one in. wch only a double killing
