^ERFORMIJTG A MIRACLE.
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 14.—By winning the world's championship from the Athletics in four games the Brave* accomplished a feat never before performed oince the national commission assumed charge of Interleave contests in 1905. Several clubs have won four out of five games, and In the early days of the Temple cup and National league vs. American association straight victories were chronicled. In 1884 Providence defeated the metropolitans three straight. In 1894 the New York club defeated Baltimore in four games for the Temple cup and two years later Baltimore won four consecutive victories from Cleveland, and there the simile ends.
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 14.—A world's record, that never will be beaten was hung up by Boston's Braves Tuesday when they handed the grand old Athletic machine a fourth straight defeat and wound up a world's series in four games for the first time in the history of baseball. The score was 3 to 1.
The score was about the only'thing that was in doubt after Monday's batlie, for it was a foregone conclusion the Beantown men would clean up barring a miracle or a slump. They came through with another clean cut victory, which completed their claim to being the eighth wonders of the world, as well as the idols of all New England.
Never before has any team terminated a world's contest in four scraps. The famous Cubs once came close to it when they took four straight from Detroit after tying the Tigers in the first game of the world's series of 1907. Several series have ended in five games, but it remained for the miracle worker, George Stallings, to be the first to reach absolute perfection and win the big pennant in the shortest possible time.
Feat Remarkable In Baseball. This feat, on top of the sensational fight the Braves made when they won ihe National league pennant In a whirlwind rush from last to first place, stamps them as the phenomena of the age. Comparatively unknown and absolutely passed up by everybody in the first half of this season, the Braves have not only copped a major league pennant from one or two teams which admittedrly outclassed them, but have crowned that feat by copping the big bunting from a stellar aggregation of ball players which was expected to eat them up and go on winning fennants for a couple of years more.
The Braves have done this not because they are composed of great baseball playefs, but because they are-*an aggregation of the gamest men that ever stood on spikes. They have been so thoroughly Inoculated by Manager Stallings with the belief that no one on earth can beat a good fighter that they have accomplished the unexpected and piled on top of that feat a record which may be tied but never surpassed.
It is a repetition of 1906. only more so, for the same breed of fans who never will admit that Fielder Jones' White Sox team was better than Frank Chance's Cubs never wjll lose their belief that the Athletics outclassed the Braves. And that breed of fans constitutes a legion, everybody knows. But there is no questioning the fact the Braves have outgamed the Athletics further than the White Sox outgamed the Cubs, for the old Chance outfit was a gamer lot than the Mackmen.
There was not much to Tuesday's game except the finish. Thirty seconas after Schmidt made the last put-out of the championship year Fenway park resembled a whole flock of madhouses with all the in-patients loose. The great crowd poured over the barriers on to the field and made a hurricane rush for the Braves' bench. Stallings and his men tried to beat them by way of a private exit in the back of the coop and all escaped under the grand stand except Mann, who went into left field in the last half of the scrap and was so far away from the bench that he could not beat everybody to it.
Mann Target for Fans.
The bugs grabbed Mann, took his cap, his glove, and his belt away from h'm, and might have left him nothing but the raiment in which he was born if friends had not crowded in and carried him on the field on their shoulders. Then for half an hour thousands of franctically gleeful footers stood in a solid mass around the home bench and cheered until they were hoarse. A ser'es of impromptu speeches were pulled off bv various local celebrities, including Mayor Curley, and—you guessed it right—ex-Mayor Fitzgerald, whd never yet has booted a chance of this kind.
Last night all Boston was wide upon and looks like Antwerp dur'ng the late stages of the German bombardment, for everywhere, from Haymarket square to Rowe's wharf, the bugs are exploding fireworks and madly cheering every one who carries a Brave banner or wears a Brave button. It's an awful thing to have such a wonderful team and Boston is tearing things up In awful fashion in full realization of the demands of the great occas'on.
Macks Scarcely Noticed.
Turning to the other side of the picture, the once proud Athletics wended their way unnoticed off the field—not quite unnoticed, for the royal rooters paused in their triumphant parade Ion" enough to give the departing vanquished foe a rousing cheer. The Mackmen remained in the seclusion of their hotel, deserted by most of the admirers who had accompanied them herp, until their special train left for home, then quietly nought the station with the falling sticks of skyrockets end the sparks of reman candles dropping all around them.
There is time to pause and drop a tear over the wreck of a great machine, for never was any team so badly beaten in a world's series, and for a team ranked as highly as the Slacks to be trounced in four straight games bv a bunch of comparative unknowns was enough to make even the most courageous of them .bow their heads Their famous machine is so completely wrecked that It will take Connie Mack all winter to patch it up so that he can even run it down hill

RUDOLPH.
Here's the midget hurler who twice baffled the Athletics during the world's series. He twirled the first and last games, winning both.
in the early stages of the game and for a considerable spell made it look as if everybody would have to use the transportation which had been purchased to I'hiladelphia for last night. They hit carefully and determinedly and fielded with great care and precision. In spite of the fact thay had practically no chance at the big pennant, they seemed to be fighting harder than in either of the first two games to avert what they knew was inevitable.
Shawkey, who was chosen to oppose the confident Rudolph, outpitched his opponent for four innings, during which the Athletics rapped the Braves' fiinger for five hits without scoring a run. In the same time the Braves did net get anything that looked like safety off Shawkey, but managed to score a tally on a combination of a pass and a fumble by Collins.
Then a burst of fireworks, which included two singles and a double in the fifth inning, all after two were out, drove the clinching spikes into the game and the Mackmen never had a chance after that. They failed to get a cafe blow after the fifth round and only one visitor reached first base in the four Innings. He was picked off his base while figuring the difference between the winner's and loser's shares.
There was no hero in this final battle who stood out as prominent as Gowdy did Monday. It was a case of everybody playing airtight baseball and never missing a chance. Rudolph pitched a great game to hold the Mackmen down to one run, the way they wer- hitting him at the start, but he haa scintillating support, in which Eivers, Maranville, Schmidt and Mann starred about equally. Maranville and Kvers robbed Mackmen of clean singles by great running scoops and Mann stole an extra baso hit from Murphy by a well sprinting catch near the end of the scrap—the eighth inning, to be statistical, Schmidt helped out the -uher Inflelders by some grand old catches.
Rudolph Strong at Close. After the game was won Rudolph pitched better baseball than at the start and added to his laurels by leading the assault 'which won the game in the fifth inning.
The Athletics made a hit in each of the first three rounds without getting near a run. In the third they made t,vo in succession, putting a runner on third, hut Mclnnis, who made the second safety of the round, was thrown out trying to mak-j second on the throw-in, and wrecked that rally.
The home half of the fifth brought the first run. Evers started it by working Shawkey for a pass. Connolly hit sharply to Collins, who had a double play in front of him, but fumble#! the ball in his overeagerness. He lost the chance to retire Evers, but did get Connolly out. Whitted then hit a bounder toward right, and Collins fumbled this so much that he lost his man altogether, letting Evers reach third. The infield came in close to cut off the run, and Schmidt hit to Barry, but so slowly that the shortstop had no chance for a play at the pan. He threw nut the batsman instead, and Evers counted.
The Athletics tied that run up in the fifth, when Barry led with a single, went to second on Schang's out, and scored on a double by Shawkey, whose natural batting average this season has been close to 0006. Murphy went out on a bounder and Oldring struck out.
The Braves retired easily in the home fifth, then Rudolph sprang into the limelight with a hard single to center. Moran was not to be outdone ard soaked a double to left center, on which Rudolph was compelled to pull up at third. Evers craftily fouled oi'f a couple good ones and let the bad cnes alone until he had Shawkey in the hole with three balls and two strikes called. Then Captain John soaked the groove ball for a clean single to center, driving In the runs which terminated the world's series of 1914.
Pennock Goes to Mound.
Pennock took Shawkey's place in the sixth inning and was touched for two tingles in quick succession, but got the side out without any Increase in the score and held the Braves down thereafter to a coupie of bases on balls.
The Eraves needed no more runs, however, for the Athletics were helpless before the slow balls of Dick Rudolph. After the fifth inning only one of them reached first base, and he got there on bad balls. It was Walsh in the seventh, and a wild pitch let him to second before anybody was nut. Here was Philadelphia's dying change, and Manager Mack chased another pitcher out to warm up, intending to use a pinch hitter for Pennock, but l'ennock's turn did not come in that round. Barry struck out on a low ball, and a lightning shot by Gowdy to Evers ca-ight the lumbersome Walsh asleep off second base. It required one of Evers' famous one-handed slap plays to complete the out.
Hints at Turf Scandal.
LEXINGTON, Ky„ Oct. 14.—R. G. Strader, who has been presiding judge at the light harness races here, resigned Tuesday and will not be in the stand today. Strader said that his resignation grew out of his failure to take action against T. W. Murphy, driver of Mirthful in the 2:17 trot last Wednesday in which Mirthful won two heats and then lost the race.

Each Brave Gets $2,813.10 in Series
Because of the shortness of the series, the club owners and national commission divide a smaller sum than any world's series since 1910. The attendance at Tuesday's game was 34,363 and the receipts $62,653. Of this sum the players received $33,832.62, the club owners $22,555.08 and the national commission $6,265.30. Total attendance for the series was 111,000, receipts $225,739, players' share $121,900.94, each club's share $40,632.58. and the national commission's proportion $22,573. As the winners, the Boston players receive 60 per cent of $121,900.94 or $73,140.56, while the Athletics as losers profit to the extent of $48,760.36.
Of the Boston club, 26 players are eligible to share in the prize money, giving each man $2,813.10. should the money be divided equally. On the Athletics, 24 players are entitled to divide the losers' end, which would give each Mackman $2,031.68 on a share and share alike basis. The players of neither club have as yet notified the national commission just how the money will be divided.
In addition to the players, the managers of each team are eligible to share of the players' portion of the receipts, so that should Stallings and Mack avail themselves of their privilege Philadelphia's share would be divided among 25 men and Boston's among 27.
The players receive less money than has fallen to their lot since the series of 1910.

Drives in Winning Runs in I ast fray
JOHNNY EVERS.
With two out and two on in the fifth inning, Johnny Evers shot a solid single to center, scoring the two tallies which gave the Braves their fourth straight game and, incidentally, the world's championship. Evers' hitting in every one of the quartet of contests was timely.
Wortd's ISeries Notes
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 14.the celebrating.
-All over but
Jack Coombs took the pitching slab for ihe Athletics when they took their batting practice. They went after the ball in smart fashion and shot his drives to all fields. ...
The present series probably means the end of the careers of "Rube'' Oldring and Chief Bender, but Eddie Plank can be expected to retire and reconsider once more at least.
George Stallings has reaped a whirlwind of revenge on the American league by handing them the worst beating a championship team ever was given and. by doing it with a team wheh almost everybody considered a joke six months^ago.
Barry stepped out of the batsman's box just as Rudolph pitched in the seventh inning and the ball apparently cut the plate, but Umpire Byron would not call it either ball or strike. Rudolph held the ball quite awhile before delivering: it, but there was no apparent reason for Barry leaving the box.
Collins hurt a finger of his throwiy.g hand when he booted Whitted's nastv grounder in the fourth inning and had lo have the services of the club trainer before he could go on. The inlury wrecked one of his typewriter fingers and he had to dictate his story of the game last night.
Umpire Byron got by for five Innings without a murmur over any of his ball and strike decisions, then began to have a little trouble, but umpired a creditable game in spite of that. None of the other arbiters had anything that looked like a close decision, except one by Dineen in the eighth Inning when "Whitted stole second.
The greatest play of the game was trade against Collins in the sixth. Eddie smashed what looked perfectly safe over second, but Maranville went back of the bag. scooped the ball off the dirt while at stop speed and threw without even looking at first base. The ball carried only two-thirds of the distance and camo to Schmld* on the bound, but the awkward first baseman who now Is one of the world's best, stretched his fell length and reached the ball in time for the out, although Collins is not one of the slow men on Mack's team.
Shawkey's sefe hit in the fifth inning was made after he had struck out in a previous round and taken two swings In the fifth at bad balls. It looked as if lie merely happened to swing his bat where Rudolph pitched, but the Athletics did not have the driving power to crack the Braves, in spite of this bit of luck.
The Mackmen returned to Philadelphia by special train, leaving at 9 o'clock. They are booked for a triumphant trip across the continent, starting at Milwaukee Saturday, but the Braves have knocked a lot of the eclat and also coin out of the said trip. Even Banny Bancroft, of Cincinnati, who engineered the forthcoming trip, failed to read the stars correctly and learn that the Braves were destined to w:n.
CLABBY-CHIP BOUT OFF.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 14.—The match between Jimmy Clabby, of Hammond, Ind., and George Chip, of Newcastle, Pa., who were to have fought twenty rounds here the last of this month, was called off today when Clabby wired that he positively refused to allow Chip to weigh in at 158 at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Clabby asked that Chip weigh in at 6 o'clock on the n'ght of the fight and guaranteed not to weigh more than 158 himself. Chip had diffluculty in making the weight in his last bout here and refused to meet Clabby's terms.
The Game's Great Honesty
The climax of Monday was one of. word. They peered through the foethe grandest things that ever happened ging gloom, they glanced along thp in 1 h« game. Great was the victory of rock.ng, reeling rows of half-delirio the Braves over New York. Of equal rooters and gave the sign to pliv value to the fame was Ihe smashing of the Philadelphia monopoly. But when two umpires of Monday, October 12 amid the gathering gloom, amid the twilight of the greatest, most sensational game the world combats ever saw, refused to call the game a draw, one more glorious page was written
the annals of an honest and an
honored pastime. It was the twelfth inning, four to four, the darkness was shrouding the last grapples of the most tremendous battle of a full decade. Fifty thousand dollars could he conjured to the bank rolls of the clubs by the umpires'
Gowdy, the overshining star of all th* series, whose single strength had saved his team three times that dav, loomprf cncc- more before Joseph Bush, pitch ing magnificently for a lost outbattler) cause. There was a blinding crash Gowdy reached second and Leslie Mann relieved him there as runner. Gilbert drew a pass and up trotted the veteran Moran. As the ball leaped off Moran'" bat, Bi.sh snapped it up, whirled in his desperation and shot it through at Baker. The throw was wide, the rushing runner blocked up Baker's view the ball whirred on, the greatest game was done.

You Smoke a "Better" Tobacco Why Not Smoke The Best?
HE tobacco you now smoke you consider ^'better tobacco than you ever, smoked before." Naturally, you kept trying until you found a "better" one.
But it stands to reason that since there is a difference in tobaccos, you may be missing still greater pleasure in sl still better smoke •—in the BEST smoke, in fact.
Tuxedo is the best smoke because no better tobacco leaf grows, and no process of treating tobacco leaf equals the original "Tuxedo Process."
