The Athletics practically were unbeatable in extra innings... Yet on the Polo grounds a8 soon as @ game goes into the tenth inning the fans say “Good-night.” In a way, the mentality of the Gi- ant players is largely responsible for this so-called inning finx. They have lost so many. éxtra-inning games at home during the last two. seasons that they get fidgety after a game goes be- yond the regulation distance, Tribune want ads will bring results.
