NEW YORK HELD TO 2 HITS
Philadelphia Veteran Plans to Be
tire on His Laurels After Long
Career on Iiamond Matty
Not Disgraced In Defeat.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11. The Philadel
phia. Athletics won the baseball cham
pionshlp of the world for 1913 at the
Polo Grounds today-by defeating the
New York Giants, 3 to 1. in tne nrin
and deciding game of the series.
With the score of games standing
to 1 in their favor, the American
League representatives went in -to
clinch the series and before the mas
terly nlavinir of the Mackmen the Ma
tional Leaguers had no chance. Con
nie Mack, anxious to finish tne Strug
gle on the final ,day of the week, sent
' Eddie Plank, his veteran southpaw to
the, mound and John McGraw, his DacK
to "the wall. called upon Christy
Mathewson to check the victorious
rush of the Athletics and thus gain
for his team a breathing spell.
Old Masters Respond Nobly.
Both old masters of curve and break
responded nobly to the call of their
manager and club; But the iiiants, un
able to help Mathewson by even medi
ocre batting, fell victims to the vicious
hitting, fast fielding combination wnicn
has again raised the standard of the
American League over that of the Na
tional organization.
The victory was a personal triumph
for Plank, but the downfall of the
Giants carried no odium for Mathew
son, who, besides pitching an excellent
game with but two days of rest since
his victory of Wednesday, made one of
the two hits against his rival In the
box.
Mathewson did not respond as
promptly to the demands made upon
him as did Plank, and lacking that
wonderful offensive and defensive sup
port which the Athletics accorded to
their twirler, faltered just long enough
in the opening innings of the game to
give the Mackmen a lead that the
Giants were powerless to overcome.
As was the case in all the games
of the series but yesterday's, the top
half of the Athletic club batting order
hit heavily when hits meant runs.
Mathewson faced & determined club
swinging aggregation the minute he
stepped to the rubber, and before he
could get his muscles and curves working-
smoothly, the game had been won.
First Pitch la Smashed.
Eddie Murphy, the first batter to
stand at the plate, drove Mathewson's
initial pitch through short for a single.
Oldring attempted to sacrifice, but
forced Murphy at second. Collins came
through with a single to right, putting
Oldring on third. Burns caught Baker's
line fly, but the throw to the plate
was too high even for the towering
McLean, and Oldring slid- across with
the first run, while McLean was still
in the air.
Xot satisfied with this, the Athletics
gathered in two more runs in the
third. Murphy again opened the in
ning with a single through short. Old
ring followed with a smash at Doyle,
who fumbled, and the batter was safe,
while Murphy scampered to second.
Collins sacrificed the runners along a
base each. Baker dribbled a Cincinnati
base hit at Merkle. who tried for the
batter and then for Murphy at the
plate, missing both as a consequence.
Mclnnls then scored Oldring from third
with a sacrifice fly to Burns, and the
Athletics' runmaking was at an end.
Bopea of Claata Co Soaring;.
The Giants' one run came in the fifth
session and was due to a peculiar break
in the game that the home fans
thought had marked the fall of the
Athletics' wonderful defense. After
Burns had filed to Mclnnls, the veteran
Plank temporarily lost control of the
ball, walking Shafer, On a hit-and-run
play Murray raised a high fly to the
center or tne diamond. Plank moved
but a few steps to set himself for the
catch, and as .Shafer had already
reached second, a double play appeared
assured. Baker upset the whole infield
by running from third and trying to
take the ball from Plank. He jostled
the pitcher lust enough to make him
drop the ball and both runners were
safe, while Plank was charged with
an error, because the ball touched his
outstretched hands.
Some 36,000 fans were now rooting
in real earnest, and. as is almost in
variably the case after such a mlxup
In baseball, a base hit followed. Larry
.McLean was the Giant to deliver the
hit to left center and Shafer made
the trip from second to home In record
time. With two on and but one out,
the fans felt sure that the Giants' luck
was focusing and they raised a roar of
vocal encouragement that . could be
heard for blocks.
Infield Like Lightning-.
If the Athletics' inflelders heard .it
they did not permit the bedlam to in
terfere with baseball. Merkle drove
a humming grounder at Collins, who
snapped It up and tossed to Barry,
forcing McLean at second. Without a
moment's hesitation Barry flashed the
ball to Mclnnls, and Merkle was out
by a step. It was one of the 3100,000
infield's double plays that cut down op
ponents at critical periods of a game
and it spelled the finish of the Giants
as world's series contenders then and
there.
From that point Plank and the play
ers back of him were never in trouble.
The two-run lead grew more formidable
as the game progressed and many of
the fans began to leave the park at
the end of the seventh inning. But
for Baker's overeagerness. Plank would
have been credited with pitching a one
hit, no-run game, but when the last
Giant was out Plank, alated with his
success, did not bother to quibble about
such little details. It was enough for
him that he had won.
Plana; May Retire on ' Honors.
Plank could well afford to be mag
nanimous, for he proved to be the pitch
ing hero of the championship series
and may decide, before another base
ball season rolls around, to retire on
his honors. During the five games
just completed Plank has pitched two
games, losing the second of the series
to Mathewson by a 3-to-0 score, al
though his club threw away an ex
cellent chance for victory in the ninth
inning of that battle by poor base
line coaching. When the two veteran
twirlers faced each other for the
second time today the pitching stood:
Plank, seven hits for three runs; Math
ewson. eight hits and no runs.
Tonight the figures read: Plank, nine
hits and four runs; Mathewson, four
teen hits for three runs.
It is a peculiar coincidence that when
this pair of twirlers were just slipping
past the salad'days of their big league
careers they were called ujon to face
each other In .just such a series of
i
CROWD
games, and the result was just as close
When the Athletics and Giants faced
each other in the Initial game of the
world's championship battle of 1905 the
batteries were Mathewson and Bresna
han for New Tork and Plank and
Schreckengost for Philadelphia. Math
ewson's record showed that he allowed
four hits and no runs, while Plank
gave ten. hits for three runs. In. the
fourth game Plank faced McGInnlty
and gave the "Iron Man" another hard
battle, losing 1 to 0. with four hits
against McGinnity's five.
Pitchers' Records WonderfuL
It Is a wonderful testimony to the
ability of Flank and Mathewson that
eight years later, when all of their
teammates. 'of those days are gone and
forgotten, they should be the heroes of
the highest type of baseball battle.
Their work in the closing game of
the series today is shown by the fact
that the Giants got but two hits off
Plank, while the-Athletics collected six
from Mathewson, five of which came In
the first three Innings. ' In only two In
nings did the Giants perch safely on
first, and - even the rank and file of
the champions of- all champions had
difficulty in hitting Mathewson with
any consistency.
Aside from Schang. tnree of tne rour
men In the upper section of the Ath
letics' batting order were the only ones
successfully to solve the delivery of
"Big Six." Eddie Murphy made two nits
In his first two timeB at bat; Collins
made one and Baker two.
Both veterans were steady, having both
control and speed, and but one batter
from each team received a pass to rirst
at their expense. The play was confined
chiefly to the infield, each first base
man setting 14 putouts. The Athletics'
outfielders made eight putouts and the
Giants' six.
Tt was a dav of triumph lor Connie
Mack and the American League.. The
Athletic victory over the Giants in 1913
ai-lts Mack's third, elevation to me
tiUe' of:manager of a universal Cham
pionship team and the fourth consecu
tive victory ot an American usi
team over the standard-bearers fit the
National League.
Including the present series, tne jun
ior league has won six out of the ten
championship contests with the senior
nmnimtlon. which began In 1903. The
a thistles' vlctorv was also pleasing to
Connie Mack and his players, since it
gave them the rubber win over
Graw and the Giants in the third meet
ing of the two teams. In 1905 the
Giants won four games to one. In 1911
the Athletics took four out of six, and
repeated with four out of five this
seusuu.
This series may mark the passing or
Plank, for he nas oesireu iu
of the game for several years and has
only continued at the solicitation of
Manager Mack.
Plank was born at Gettysburg In 1875
and entered Gettysburg College in 1900.
Even in those days he felt the pitching
prowess of Christy Mathewson. for dur
ing the time he was the leading twirler
of his varsity team, Gettysburg met the
Bucknell College nine on the diamond.
The tall, lanky youth on the mound for
the visitors was Mathewson, and after
a remarkable pitching duel, from a col
lege standpoint. Plank and his team
mates were defeated by 3 to 0.
Flank Wearied of Strife.
Plank has never shown any desire to
wander very far from his own fireside
and today owns two large farms near
Gettysburg, Pa., his birthplace, and
spends all his spare time there. He
has wearied of the diamond strife and
is anxious to settle down. If Mack can
persuade him to return to-Shlbe Parle
and don a playing uniform next Spring,
it will be but another example of the
wonderful hold that the tall leader has
over his players, according to the Ath
letics, who carried Plank off the Polo
Grounds on their shoulders late this
afternoon. '
It certainly will not be due to any
financial Inducements that Mack can
offer, for Plank, in company with the
other 49 players who participated in
the series this week, will divide $135,
163.89 between them on the basis of
60 per cent to the winners and 40 per
cent to the losers. Holders of each of
the two clubs also will have 479,109.50
to divide as a result of their players
drawing powers during the world's
series. The National Commission re
ceived $32,598 for overseeing the five
game contest, the entire gate receipts.

'sHILE , the world's series, the

Cuban chess tourney; Teddy's trip into
the South African Jungles; the poultry
men's convention at Podunk and other

ful duty of calling attention to the
fact that the Pacific Coast League Js
still doing business though with em
phasis on the "still" and more that
Portland has not yet clinched the flag.
McCredie's squadron set sail from
home a week ago -with a lead of 94
games and the end in sight on October
26. That was considered quite suffi
cient to back the Mackmen to the fin
ish. It should have been yes, even
the shrunken margin of today - ought
to be sufficient it will be recalled
that Mobile counted its squabs before
their . incubation in the Southern
League this Fall and that was . rated
as a 100-to-l shot.
So. even at the expense, possibly, of
a few agate lines of world's series type.
let it be- said here that McCredie s
charges would do well to win a few
ball games before mentally tacking the
gaudy new gonfalon on . the trophy
wall.
West and James both pitched good
ball In the Wednesday and Thursday
defeats, but, in light of developments,"'
Lou Stanley's start on Tuesday was a
mistake. Lou doesn't seem to have the
luck in the Coast League and it will be
high time to test him thoroughly after
the flag has been carefully tucked
away beyond possible loss.
After the double-header today Port

series against Los Angeles. Venice

Sacramento. If Portland takes the

AT odd and divers moments we have

when an investigation of the records
yesterday disclosed that only two

NEW YORK, Oct 1L Connie Mack's
Athletics were a happy lot of ball play
ers as they left for Philadelphia to
night after, having been given a demon
strative send-off by a big crowd of
erfthuslasts at the station. Many of
the team members were hoisted to the
shoulders of admirers and carried to
the gate ' leading to their train, while
the Joyous fans of Philadelphia persua
sion shouted themselves hoarse and
raised a big uproar with a wealth of
noise-making- equipment.
This cerebration followed another al
most equally noisy one when the cham
pions reached their hotel from the Polo
grounds. Several hundred enthusiasts
almost mobbed the players as they
alighted from their automobiles. They
were pounded on the back by such fans
as could reach them on their way tnto
the htel and they were cheered both
Individually and as a team.
All the Mack men were generous In
their . praise of the Giants. Captain
Danny Murphy, voiced the generar sen
timent. ..
"The Giants played clean - ball and
were the best of opponents," he said,
and Frank Baker addedr
"We've done it again and I hope we
repeat next year, but we could not find

home schedule, however, so that local
fans were given 94 games the full al

The Northwestern League suffered
heavily by rain in Portland, but Pa
cific Coast moguls have no deserved
kick coming. They enjoyed perhaps
their most fortunate season here, so far
as weather is concerned, in the history
of the league.
Portland lost only one gnme in Cali
fornia as a result of rain. That loss
occurred during the first week of April
when the Beavers opened at San Fran
cisco. For uninterrupted schedules the
Coast League surely leads the earth.
COACH GILMOUR DOBIE is fighting
with his back against the wall at
the .University of Washington' in his
final years' effort to put out another
winning football team. -
That much we learn from a perusal
of the careful calculations, otherwise
dope, in the'Seattle and student news
columns.
This annual "bear" flurry, together
with the prediction by that estimable
veteran, Dr. G. J. Sweetland, Jr., coach
at Willamette University, that Wash
ington is due for a trimming seems to
be churning like yeast. You can hear
the bells tolling .over Doble's effigy on
every college gridiron In the North
west. 1 .
But wait awhile, -brethren, before
you bury Gilmour.
In the first place, tie a large urn to
the belief that Washington will be
weaker than last season. - ,
Doble had a green squad In 1912 and
that was his critical campaign, if any
of them have been critical. In the
back fleld this Fall Dobie has among
the veterans Jacquot. Dorman, Shiel,
Miller, Young and some others. In the
line Presley is back at center; Griffith,
Seagraves and Hardy are on hand for
guards; then Dobie has for his tackles
the two beefy vets. Captain -Anderson
and Patton, and one of the Leader
twins; Wayne Sutton and the other
Leader lad are available for end. Pat-
ton is not in harness yet, but he will
be back from Japan in 10 days and
that will give him ample time to round

Take a good long drag at that line

your mind this seasoned eleven with
an average weight close to 177 or 178
pounds and a backfield quivering the
beams at close to 175 pounds, and then
shed a couple of quarts of crocodile
tears for poor Gilmour.
The Seattle mentor may lose the
championship this Fall. Nobody can
foresee the issues and breaks in foot
ball or in any "other form of athletic
endeavor. -

LOS ANGELES, Oct 11. (Special.)
Portland's hold on the pennant slipped
another cog today, when they lost the
fifth game of the series to the Tigers,
3 to 2. The Beavers gathered six bin
gles, but were unable to bunch them
sufficiently to put across the winning
run, while the Bengals made all of
their four hits count. Krapp did good
work with the stick, collecting a dou
ble and a single In two turns at the
plate.
The winning run came in the seventh
inning after Portland had tied the
score. A single, a low throw and a pass
-filled the bases and Hitt scored on a
wild pitch.
Hogan's aggregation, as usual, put
across the first run in the Initial frame.
Carlisle singled to center and reached
third on Kane's Infield bingle. Kane
collided with Krapp as the latter was
taking Derrick's throw at first. Bay
less sent a sacrifice foul to Speas and
Carlisle scored.
Deliberate Pass Costly.
In the third frame the Bengals made
It two. Krapp fanned Hltt and Carlisle
fouled out to Derrick. Kane was safe
at first on Kodgers" low throw to Der
rick. Krapp purposely passed Bayless
and Kane scored on McDonnell's single
to left field.
In the sixth and seventh Portland
made a run in each inning, tying the
score. In the former Fisher flew out,
Hltt to McDonnell. Krapp doubled down
the third base line and reached third
on Chadbourne's single to center. Der
rick fdrced Chadbourne at second, But
ler to O'Rourke, Krapp crossing the
plate.
In the seventh Lindsay singled to left
and took second on Doane's sacrifice
and scored on Speas' single to center.
:' Wild PIteh Means Defeat. :
In their' half of the same frame the
Bengals put across the winning run.
With Elliott out, Hltt was safe when
Lindsay threw low to Derrick. Krapp
struck Carlisle out and Kane singled
to center, Hitt going to third and Kane
went to second on the throw-in. Bay
less purposely was. walked, filling the
bases. Hitt then scored on a wild
pitch. Score:

TOM SEATON, Portland pitching
graduate, is ranked by major
league experts the second most val
uable man on the Philadelphia National
payroll. Cravath, ex-Coast outfielder,
tops him, due to his wonderful hitting
of the past season.
Seaton's valuation is revealed In the
poll by the Chalmers trophy commis
sion, which voted Walter Johnson the
most valuable player in the American
League and Jake Daubert, of Brooklyn,
the most valuable In the National clr
cuit. "
The Portland right-handed pitcher Is
round No. 12 in the list of the National
honored ones. Mathewson and Cheney
are the only pitchers ahead of him.
Seaton was drafted by the Phillies two
years ago at the behest of Patsy
O'Rourke, of Venice, and has been a
star from the start.
The list of those who were awarded
over five points in the Chalmers' sym
posium is as follows:

PAXS COXGRATTJLATE MACKMEN
Giants, Too, Come In for Cheers Af
ter Telling Game Is Ended.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11. Immediately
after the close of today's game thou
sands of fans swarmed down from
bleachers and stands and rushed to the
Athletics' bench, where John McGraw
was already congratulating Connie
Mack. Despite the fact that the great
majority were Giant adherents, they
bestowed plenty of praise upon the
Mackmen.
Player after player was patted on
the back and assured that the best
team won. It was with difficulty that
they finally broke their way through
the throngs and reached the club
house. The Giants, too, came in for hearty
cheers as they raced across the field,
assuring them that, although defeated,
they had by no means lost the support
of their followers.

COMMIE MACK REACHES OUT
Athletics' Manncor Extends Hand
Into Clark Griffith's Territory In
Montana, and lit Ilolion Seems
to Have I'Jtehlng "rind."
BY PORTl.'S BAXTER.
SKATTLK. Wash.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
Absolutely nothing of an authentic
nature has been given out by President
Dugdale about the probable make up of
the Seattle baseball club for the coming
season. "I have been so busy with the
numerous details of th' new ball park,"
said Mr. Dugdale, "that I am glad tho
season is over, and I want a lltle rest
before getting down o studying tin
map for what is ahead of us.
"I am well satisfied with tho outconu
of the drafts Seattle put In. Of course
I was sorry to lose Pitcher McDonald,
of Battle Creek, Mich., because I have
had my eye on him for two seasons
and know that he is a good man. Catch
er Huhn, of Adrian, Mich.. In the South
ern Michigan Association, went W.-1I
In 1912 and for the season just closed
he was even better, both In backstop
ping and. batting. In 1912 he was a .250
hitter, but I have received information
to the effect that he raised those fig
ures considerably In 1913. Huhn should
be an acquisition to the club. Infielder
Duddy, of Butte, Union Association,
closed the season of 1913 very strong
at third base. The year before he played
little on account of a broken leg.
"Pitcher Al Benner, formerly of Spo
kane, is too well known all over the
Pacific Northwest to call for comment.
I drafted him because he has pitched
fine ball for Boise, Western Trl-Stnte
League, and should deliver the goods.
Personally, I do not know much about
Inflelder McGaslgan, of Keokuk, In
the Central Association, but he was
recommended to Seattle by Ira Harmon,'
one of our former pitchers, who will
be recalled as the discoverer of Lee
Magee, who Is now with St. Louis. Nat
urally, Seattle is willing to take a
chance on Harmon's judgment."
President Dugdale received unpleas
ant news In a telegram concerning the
visit of the two major-league baseball
clubs to Seattle next month. After many
trials and tribulations, it was apparent
ly settled that games would be played
here November 18 and 19. After the
first game all the player not neces
sary for the second were to proceed to
Vancouver, B. C from which point they
were scheduled to sail November 19 on
the Canadian Pacific steamship.
In order to get the players who re
mained in Seattle on board the steam
ship they were to be rushed to Vic
toria, B. C, on a special boat. The
rush act is still a part of the pro
gramme, but Instead of two games be
ing played In Seattle, there will be
only one, and that will be on Wednes
day, November 19. President Comls
key Informed President Dugdale that It
would be Impossible for the teams to
reach Seattle In the time for the game
originally scheduled for Tuesday, No
vember 18.
Quick action all around will be nec
essary on the day that Seattle fans do
see the big leaguers, as they will stop
off in the morning at Tacoma, pliiy a
game and hustle over to Seattle for a
clash In the afternoon. The special
boat will be held leady to rush the
party to Victoria Immediately after the
game.
Connie Mack does not talk from the
tops of the houses, but somehow or
other he reaches out to all parts of the
country for his young material and
he avoids to a large extent the annoy
ance of hopeless cases. It would be
interesting to know exactly how he
secures such accurate information con
cerning the so-called bustiers that hs
calls into service.
In the cioslnsr hours of the Amerl-
can League pennant race, the box
score showed the name of Bonen as
pitching for the Philadelphia Athlet
ics against the Washington, club. It
was first noted by the Washington pa
Ders that this young phenom came from
the Far Northwest, and it was then
remarked that If ever a young slnb
man made good from the start It was
Bohen. He held Washington to thre
hits and would have blanked them In
all probability for nine innings, if he
had not let one of his shoots dip Into
the dirt in the final spasm, letting over
the winning run.
Bohen has never been seen In the
Northwestern League, but he conies
from Montana, where the Union Asso
ciation holds forth, and Is a right
hander. Now the best-known mnjor
league commander In Montana Is Clark
Griffith, of the Washington club. He
has owned and probably still owns a
ranch over there, yet Connie Mack
reaches out nearly 3000 miles from
Philadelphia into what is apparently
Griffith's chosen ground and grabs a
pitcher thnt gives greHt promise.
