their league. That year the Chicago
Cubs staged comeback in the Ma

easy picking in the Athletics as they
had found in the Detroit Tigers in
1907 and 1908. 1t was their over
confidence which had much to do
with their defeat and the Philadel-
phias won the series with four vic

Gated FuQuay's Improvement over last

Schudde. Fuquay lad c,refrlly map

Schuddc's usually strong net game by
keeping him in the back of The court.
Although the score was one-sided,
Schudde did some excellent playing
and demonstrated that more Practice

we're rather absurd In Chicago hits
we're made which did not go into the

under the rules. could not make all
the bases possible on them.
In the first game Manager Chance
of the Cubs was ruled off the field

Murphy home-run on a hit that

In the seventh inning of the second

driven out of the box, the Athletics
bombarding him for five hits. includ-
ing three two baggers, and scoring six
runs. In the third game Mack sur
prised everybody by putting in Jack
Coombs again and he was even more
successful than in the second game.
The fourth was the best game of the
blew up in the fifth and tossed away
the series.
COOmbs Won Three Games.
Only two pitchers were used by the
Athletics in the series. Coombs won
three games and Bender, the Indian,
one. In every game the pitcher who
started the game for the Cubs was
taken out before the finish.
In many respects the series was
very discouraging to the National
League enthusiasts who were never
more exasperated over the outcome of
a worlds championship and never
more irritated by the playing of their
representative team. Connie Mack did
not use substitute batsman but the
Cubs used one in every game Chi

through the loss of Johnny Evers,
who broke his leg two weeks previous
ly, and Heinie Zimmerman did not
play second base as well rs Evers
probably would have played it. The
Athletics suffered. too. through the
loss of Rube Oldring but Amos
