the most brilliant constellation of stars in the baseball firmament Displaying brilliant aggressive play George Wonder Men again to day outgamed and outplayed the Mack men and tonight are in the position with any kind of good fortune to conclude the struggle with two more victories in Bos ton on Monday and Tuesday With the series standing 2 to 0 in their favor only the complete collapse of their wonderful courage in the face of great odds can prevent the Braves from wresting the title of champions from the Ath letics Even should the American League champions "come back" as they may do thej' will find themselves confronted witn men who now7 are sure of themselves and tneir prowess Braves Show the Punch There can be no apologies made for Athletics They lost to the better today so they did yesterday that they lost by the possible win ning 1 to makes the achieve ment of the Braves all the more remark able That the two teams battled along for eight innings before a single man even reached third much less scored shows that for pure determinedness and doggedness of purpose the inexperienced National League team was superior to the tried and heretofore not found wanting champions ighting all the way on the defensive Pct 1006000 8 0 0 The Athletics kept up the one two three order In their fourth inning easy grounder was gathered In by James and he Glaring struck out and ider at Maranville who 12 4 5 Two two and Gossett had a passed Kignt behind All Illinois The story of the game was all Illinois Indiana was simply outclassed Capt team fighting hard from start to finish was up against an eminently superior machine playing in November form The fHoosiers could not gain and they could not stop Illinois As the In diana adherents were downcast the lllini rooters were glad score seems to confirm the claim that lllini is a championship contender game was played on a slippery field but the field was not half as slip pery' as the lllini backs led by Harold Pogue Childs and his men were ready tonight to concede the Illinois contention that Pogue is the greatest runner in the West and Russell of Chicago is not in the same class It was Pogue who started the undoing of the Hoosiers They had held the lllini score less for the first quarter The wily Zuppke had held his star in reserve Coincident with the introduction of the little wizard lllini stock boomed Pogue ran through the Hoosiers almost at will and a touchdown was soon made Bart Macomber added a field goal from placement and the first half ended 9 to 0 which was not bad at all from the standpoint of the Hoosier invaders The came the second half which was a terrible story When Pogue did not gallop for a long gain Clark the lllini quarter uacK was nusy And when they not at work the huge Schoblnger from back was ramming holes in the Hoosier Passes Baffle Hoosiers Coach Childs squad was given an exem plification the forward pass a la Zuppke The lllini successfully fif teen times three of them resulting in touch downs men broke up ten other at tempts to forward pass They clung to the Yale shift plays but no kind of a play would have gained for them The best Hoosier feat was a long forward pass from Erehart to Whitaker for a gain of twenty yards Otherwise the Hoosier passes were futile Erehart pulled a boner when he to run the ball from be hind his own goal instead of punting as the signal called Several lllini were sitting on him before he hd a good hold of the ball This cost the Hoosiers two more points but that seemed a trifling matter Quarter Back Whitaker was a factor in the Hoosier defense and Weiland played well until he was removed with injuries Childs used up well nigh his whole squad striving to halt the lllini firHt hurled Hie ball to McInnis to catch him and liie Boston man reached the middle station safely Schang who was throwing to bases with reck confidence also tried to nip Deal oft second but tlie ratchar's throw was too high for Barry to get him as

Mackmens half of the Athletics lost today because they the Or to put it more properly James with his great speed his fast breaking curve ball and the judicious use of his held them to only an infield single and a double Only think of it Two hits in nine innings is all great attacking team of a could make Small wonder then that such a team should go nine innings without scoring and in eighteen innings of play in two days be able to tally but once Credit be given where credit belongs therefore the credit for this the second victory fiver the Athletics belongs first to Bill James a large powerful rosy cheeked youth who pitched with the cool courage and skill of a veteran of many a world's series Never before In the annals of the game has practically an untried youth so completely demonstrated his worth Having paid proper measure of praise to James for his part it becomes neces sary to speak of those who made victory possible by figuring in the attack in such a way as to score the one run so essen tial to that triumph History has repeated itself In 1906 a raw recruit George Rohe lifted the the 8itm fielder sprinted to near the left Meld foul line to get long drive Plank closed the inning by striking out on three pitches The National League cbarnpiona got two men on in the fourth inning and thing looked good for Boston Whittcd the first up raised a high liy to Strunk With the count three to two him Schmidt hit a grooved ball to right field and was held on first while Murphy ran In for short fly Maranville chopped a bounding single to right on which Schmidt wa only able to roach second Then Barry electrified the crowd by making a high jumping stop of bouncing grounder and leaped to ec ond base forcing out Maranville It wai Sims Proves to Be Sims proved to bo the find by his sensational open field line plunging lie reeled off many runs of more than twenty yards and two of his runs were within Earlham's five yard line and on the consequent line bucks netted touchdowns Capt Bowe Cuffing CofHng and Settles also showed up well with consistent gains The Earlham backfield in the first half hit the line for many material gains Thornton Bowen and Logan were consistent ground gain ers for Earlham Earlham sprang a surprise in the first quarter by pushing Wabash back through the consistent gains of the Quaker backs On being held for three downs on the Scarlet thirty yard line Thornton at tempted a drop kick which despite I lie heaviness of the pigskin went directly between the goal posts Wabash then BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UlLADELPHIA Ba Oct There
