HILADELPHIA, October 9.— We were defeated in the world series by a great club, but we were not dis- graced. Connie Mark has one of the firtest teams ever put to- gether. It is one that is especially hard to beat on its own fleld. It seemed to play with more confi- dence at Shibe Park than when we beat them two games out of three in 8t. Louis, I thought that I had a great club, but the Athletics, by their victory, proved better. ‘The American Leaguers were favored by the breaks in several instances, it'is true, but in the fingl game George Earnshaw, though llllkllx his third start, pitched another me. He held us to 2 runs and 14 innings and proved the outstanding pitcher of the series. He showed fine speed and & great curve ball, Held to Finish. He seemed ninth inning, but not en much good.
