Baltimore has still a good chance for the

Baltimore's fire pitching staff dwindled
fearfully when Boston came
Keller and Jennings made most of the
runs
Chorus from other cities: II told you sou
Most Of the hits into the crowd would
have been fair, anyhow.
Nichols got few dollars from his ad-
mirers.
There was little kicking, and what there
was of 1t came from Duffy.
Nichols tried to sacrifice in the fifth, but
the bunt bounded over, Hoffer's head and
was safe.
Over dozen new balls were used. Those

Everybody excepting Tenney got a piece

Just before the game Nichols received
telegram which bore the name Of a wealthy
