Connlo Mack's Athlotlca put another clincher on their hop for the 1913 world's championship todajr. They won their third victory from the Giants by a score of 0 to 5. At a result, tho Giants will be forced to take two In a row in order to tie up the series, and must do the scorn ingly Imposslblo stunt by landing three in a row if they take the cham pionship. McGraw was unablo to duplicate Mack's stunt of yesterday by making good with a young twirler. Demaree, sent to the mound by McGraw, was aa, easy victim of tho Athletic wil low wlelders and was chased from the mound at tho end ot the fourth after the Mackmcn had touched ilm up for seven hits, good for four runs. Marquard who succeeded him was also a victim ot the Athletic on slaught during tho first Inning he worked and a base on balls, followed by a double and single, added two wore ruB. to 4fce AtbletlW string - and gave them the one extra tally needed to put tho gamo on Ice.

Aftor Burns and Murray had landed on tho sacks via the single route, Merkle, the hoodoo Giant flrstsacker, slammed a long hit Into deep left, which bounded into the bleachers for a homerun, tho Giants' first round up slam of tho series. In the eight, with their confidence rostorcd and knowledge that Bender was weakening, the top of tho Giant batting order went after tho Chip pewa. Herzog connected for a stnglo his first safo hit ot tho series. Bon der steadied and Doylo forced Her zog, only to be forced himself by Flotcher. Burns, however, got one In a groovo and rapped out a double. which scored Fletcher. Shafer, with two strlkes-out and a weak pop-up to his credit, laced a trlplo Into deop right near tho foul lino, scoring Burns. "With a single noeded to tie up tho gamo, Murray was unable to deliver aud was thrown out at first by Collins.
