The Athletics defeated the Yankees
here this afternoon, 4 to 3, a last-in-
ming rally by the visitors falling one
run short of tying the game.
This was presentation day at Shibe
Park.
The importance of the second tilt
with the Yankees and the fact that
an Athletic player and Connie Mack
were recipients of valuable gifts
brought out q crowd which packed
the grounds to capacity. Before the
game Jimmy Dykes was called to the
home plate and presented with an
automobile as being the most valu
able man to the Athletics this year,
and then Mack was presented with
$500 watch, the gift of the Athletics
Boosters Club and the players.
While Dykes and Mack were bow
ing to the plaudits OF the $4,000 fans
the Elks' String Band of 20 pieces
and the st. Johns Orphans Band rem
dered popular airs.
