Before closing these notes, I wish to say that I shall feel very much obliged if the secretary of the Asso ciation will kindly furnish me with list of the re-arranged fixtures for that will help a great deal when writing these notes.
At one time it appeared probable that the Athletics would make it a four-game series, but after losing two games in a row, the Cardinals came back with some
powerful pitching and drew level.
They were unable to hold the Athletics in the Now York games, however.
The six games resulted in 21 runs for the Athletics and twelve for the Cardinals, Philadelphia winning 6-1, 5-2, 0-5, 1-3, 2-0,7-1,
