As far as the Williamsport Grays are concerned the supremacy of the Philadelphia Athletics is confined to the major leagues. Before a crowd of 7,611 paid customers, the largest to ever witness a game in this city, the Grays stopped the world champions 11-7 at Bowman Field yesterday afternoon. 

Connie Mack kept Mickey Cochrane, Jimmy Dykes, Max Bishop and his regular flingers home to rest for the important upcoming series with Washington, opening today, but the shock troops gave a good account of themselves and held the Grays off for five innings. 

There was a cheer when the Athletics emerged from their dressing room and took possession of the visitors dugout. 

Acting manager, Eddie Collins sent three hurlers to the mound for the A’s. Lew Krause being charged with the defeat. 

Al Simmons and Jimmy Foxx of the “heavy artillery” found the burden of batting out a victory too heavy. Neither was able to put the ball out of the spacious ballpark, either in batting practice or the ensuing contest, but combined they figured in the scoring of five Athletics’ runs. 

Prior to the start of the game the players of both teams assembled at home plate the A’s presented to Thomas H. Richardson, a Mackian emblem, in the shape of a gold baseball and elephant Williamsporter, Howard Gair umpired behind the plate.
