Connie Slack's Philadelphia \thlelies today won their second vorld's championship within two ears by pounding the New York Uiants into the earth , i : { to 2 , in he sixth game of the present iorios. Ames , who started the game in lie box for the Giants , threw the Giants' hopes to the four winds n the fourth inning when , with .wo men on bases , ho threw to- vard first on Harry's hunt that he lad fielded , and hit Harry. The jail rolled out to left field , while Murphy and Davis scored. Then Jarry went all the way home on Murrays wild return -of the ball o second base. But it was in the sevenIi ! inning hat the Athletics ran wild around he course , scoring seven runs. They made a farce out of Wilt/'s efforts to hold them. They hit ilmost everything offered , and the jiants added to the comedy with ostly errors. Kvon Marquard , vho relieved "Will/ when the in- ling was two-thirds gone , let two non score on a wild pitch. Then Thomas got his first hit of the scries. The hurlesfiic | was ended when Miomas tried to steal noeond. Cight men faced Wiltin this half ind six of them got hits. To the spectators it seemed as if all the Vthlolics were scampering around he bases without fear of being caught. The crowd saw it was over ind started to leave the grounds , singing and cheering. The Giants made one run in the 'irst inning when Doyle scored after reaching second on a double. He crossed 1ho plate on Murphy's miff of Murray's fly. The Athletics evened the score in the third inning. Ames passed Miomas , and Lord doubled into ight field , Thomas scoring. The lead of four runs secured by the Athletics in the next inning was too much for the Giants , and with Bender pitching great ball New York had little chance to repeat their snail performance of yester day by tying the score. Wilt/ , who relieved Ames in the fifth in ning , appeared for the first time during the series. The game was marked by in stances of brilliant fielding by both teams. Collins , in the second inning , prevented a score by ller- xog when ho made a wonderful pick-up of Meyers' hot grounder and registered the third out of the inning by throwing to first. De- vore wound up the score in the fourth inning by getting Lord's long fly after a hard run. It was as brilliant n piece of fielding as has been seen during the world's series. First Innlnn.
