how tho Athletics beat Paul Der

'"Wo were never more confident t
than before tho seventh and last
game." said Mack. "Tho Athletics
bad won tho sixth game easily, as
you know, and with Enrnshaw In
the box we had every reason to foci
optimistic.
"But wo were beaten In the very
first Inning. High, tho first batter,
who nearly always hit hard to right

fly between Williams and Simmons,
I had previously motioned Al "to
move out but ho refused to budge,
duo perhaps to his uncertainty
about the visibility, and his confi
dence in his ability to come In
better than ho could go back. The
result was that he missed by a few
feet a ball he would otherwise have
caught easily.
"Then Watklns, the second battor,
hit another short fly over toward
tho third base line. William went

catch. Suddenly he stopped in his

"Let mo explain hero that If tho

as you know, the Cardinals scored
two runs, one on a ball that got
away from Cochrane and tho other
on a poor threw back to the plate
by Foxx after cochranohad dropped
tha third strike on Orsatll. You see.
wo 'missed four chances to-stop any
scoring in that inning.
"Those two runs gave Grimes
tho confidence he needed to pitch

Cardinals. I will say my club was

when wo nearly came through, but
wo were beaten by a great ball
