CLEVELAND, Oct 19.-The third game
Of the great series between Cleveland and
Boston was won by the latter organization.
Still in the face of that defeat the home
patrons feel just as sanguine IS ever. They
firmly believe that the Clevelands will
shake the Beaneaters up pretty lively yet
To-day's game was by all odds the best of
the three, AMI in everything but base run
ming the local team outplayed the visitors
Terrible stupidity on the base line lost
Cleveland three good chances to make runs
and possibly had one OF them been accepted
the game would have been won. Burkett
was guilty of the most culpable offense, and
in addition to that misiudged Quinn's fly
that he ought easily to have caught, which
gave the Bostons one run and the batter a
two-base hit Davis was unable to play to-
dav, although he was brought in at the last
moment to bat in Young's place.
Davis Is Unable to Play.
1t is quite unlikely that he will appear
again in the championship series, as he has
sprained tendon in his heel. This will to
some extent weaken the Clevelands.
The game abounded in sensational fielding
Mexican and Nash close after him. The
work of Mexican in the three games has been
the feature OF Cleveland's fielding. Every
one OF the i've runs was earned, and so far
as baseball luck goes the Bostons had rather
the better of it, getting their hits when men
were on the bases and when they were most
needed. The afternoon was absolutely per-
feet for ball playing. The air was mild and
balmv and the sky as clear as crystal
About 100 people sa Nv the game, there being
q larger attendance than on the second day.

exception every close decision has been
given against the local team.
Made a Good Start.
Childs batted the second ball pitched this
afternoon for base hit to left field, and
Burkett followed it with double in ex-
actly the same direction. Tabeau was re.
tired on Longs assist, but McKenn raped
both Childs and Burkett in. Virtue also hit
safely, but the two next batters were re-
tired.
In Boston's half Long began with a sim
gle, but was forced out at second by Nc
Carthy. The latter stole second and scored
Oh Cancels hit TO right field. Boston tied
the score in the next inning. Lowe hit
sacrifice. Quinn raped the ball hard and
true, but BUrkett ran under it when he
might have easily caught IT. and ne judged,
it we'll. The batter got two bases and Lowe
scored.
In the third, sixth and ninth innings the
Clevelands had splendid opportunities to
score. but fooled them away by stupidity on
the bases; In the eighth Stivetts aided in
winning his own game by hitting for two
bnses and scoring by McCarthy's drive to
center field.
The Bostons and Cleyelands left this city
tonight on two special cars bound for Bos-
ton. There were about SO people in the
party, and they expect to reach the "Hub"
tomorrow afternoon. President Young
goes with them. He stated to-day that the
three games played in Cleveland this week
were the finest he ever had seen. The score:
