Recap: Where have all the Giant hitters gone? They have disappeared in the last four games...all victories by the Philadelphia Athletics. Rube Waddell was simply superb today at the Polo Grounds, going the entire 11 innings in a brilliant pitching performance. He stopped New York on six solitary singles, walked nobody and fanned seven batters. Waddell only gave up one hit over the last four innings in a dominating outing. He finally got some runs in the eleventh to win the game. Jimmie Foxx (.167/0/0) singled, moved to second on a Frank Baker (.143/2/5) sacrifice and a single by John Henry Lloyd (.120/0/0). Then the unsung second sacker of the A's, Danny Murphy (.292/1/5), belted a two-run double to capture the game and a four-games-to-two lead in the best-five-of-nine series. Manager John McGraw in a attempt to get his club back on the victory track went with portsider Johnny Antonelli, his #5 starter this season. McGraw knew that the Athletics were less than .500 against lefthanders during the regular season. The strategy almost paid off as Antonelli was as good as Waddell for eight scoreless innings. The NY skipper pinch hit for the stylish lefty in the bottom of the eighth in an attempt to get a run to win the game. The World Series will now go back to Philadelphia and Shibe Park for Game Seven. Two twenty-game winners will again go head-to-head. It will be Carl Hubbell (22-6 2.30) for the Giants and Lefty Grove (20-6 3.16) of Philadelphia tangling again in a battle of lefties. Each has suffered a loss to the other in the Series. Hubbell won the opening game 5-0, while Grove picked up a 6-1 win in Game Four.
