PHILADELPHIA, October 12.-
Flashing the most sensational exhibition
of sustained slugging power ever recorded
In world series history. the Athletics OF
Philadelphia today battered a quartet
of Chicago pitchers to come from be-
hind and register their third victory by
a count of 10 to 8 and attain the posi-
ton where they need but one additional
win to achieve the championship of tho
base bali universe.
Coming to bat late in the fray trail
ing by eight runs as a result OF the
1ammering inflicted by the Bruins or
q trio of Mackian moundsmen, the
cause of the AS seemed hopeless, in
deed, but never has the truth of the
famous axiom, Take nothing fol-
granted in base ball. been more strik-
ingly demonstrated than by the 10 hits
for as many runs which the home guard
proceeded to amass from the offerings
of a quartet of Cub curvers. There feat
surpassed the mark established by the
Giants on October of the 1921 title
set against the Yankees, when they tai
lied eight times in rally which, like
that of today, was staged in the seventh
inning.
Macks Held Six Innings.
Having been limited to a trio OF
scattered hits through the first six in
nings by Charley Root, who gave How
ard Ehmke such sturdy box battle in
the opener of the set at Chicago Tues
day, while first Jack Quinn, Rube wal
berg and then Ed Rommel had felt the
sting OF the Bruins bats for what ap-
peared an insurmountable lead, not
even the most rabid rooter among the
close to 10000 fans assembled in Shibe
Park harbored more than a faint hope
that cause so far lost could be ~re-
deemed.
There was none among that vast
throE1g. including the athletes on the
Philadelphia bench, who would have
been so bold as to predict that before
three put-outs were registered, two
home runs, a double and seven singles
could be collected to give the Mackmen
the two-run advantage which they held
to the finish. The fact that they did
hold their lead was due principally Il

Disappointed Chicago adherents
found little to cheer them in retrospect
despite the fact that Wilson had made
the greatest individual play of the series
thus far when he raced back into right
center for one-hand catch of Boley's
bid for an extra base blow that pre-
vented a pair Of sure Mackian markers
in the fifth. nor from the fact that
Hacks hitting example was followed by
Hornsby. who also got two safeties, and
Cuyler who gathered three.
In fact many among them were in
cLned to lay the blame for today's
debacle on Wilson for his failure to
catch a fly from the bat of Mule Haas

AS Blast Way to Victory.
When Al Simmons led off in the rea
end of the seventh with a drive ato
the stand in left for his second hom
run of the series, it was regarded
merely as the means for the Athletic
to avert shut-out. A clean shot b
right by Foxx and a Texas Lacquer b
center by Miller enthused the thron
but little, as the AS still were sever
runs in arrears and how could lea
of such proportions be overcome?
Singles by Dykes and Boley, and an
