Kill the ball every time he came to
bat, and the result was that he hit
only one hard. They went straight a
fielder. The big gun of the Sen,
ators proved to be only pop gun.
But the Senators are game. No de-
nying that! A team that can over
come two-run lead in a world
series battle, tie the score in the
ninth and come as close to winning
as they did today must be classed
with the best.--Braun in The World,

Il they do conquer them
one might almost say that the
senators looked better in defeat than
the Giants did in victory. They put
up game, determined battle, which
wasn't over till the asst man was out.

minutes away, the Executive box was
still empty. Connolly, the chief UNI

up and down nervously in front of

IT the Giant clubhouse the spirit ot

The Giants are a moral unit, and
take without reply the silent treat
ment' which they received from the
spectators, whose open -mindedness on
the subject of bribery was apparently
reflected by refraining from express

Johnson struck out twelve men and
kept the hits scattered effectively, to
Jose in the end by an error in his out
field, but not entirely for that reason.
He started the inning by hitting
Hank Gowdy, gnarled and grizzled
old Hank, to whom the turmoil Of
worlds series battling are meat and
drink, and who this aftern oon wasn't
far behind his form of 1914, when he
led the Braves to famous victory.
Gowdy was a sturdy figure back
there, old Hank was, resentful in the
extreme of the Ban Johnson insinua-
tions and on his mettle. So was Nehf
sturdy figure. He matched what he
had against what Johnson had, held
his own in craft and resourcefulness
with that master, and had a shade
the more dependable support. Both
teams played well behind their pitch
ers, though the single slip on each
side counted a lot
The battle became so realistic to
Gowdy that in the twelfth inning he
pulled off his guards and threw them
away. He wanted all the freedom of
action possible. Both catchers did
excellent work as well as both
pitchers. Nehf had control, curving
with subtlety of the southpaw brand
and johnson had speed, change of
pace and no small skill in the use OF
a curve ball.-Herald-T Tribune
