Boston played without an error in both
games. The visitors made several cost
ly misplays.
Boston has a great chance to win the
pennant, for it is up to Griffith's men
to win both games Monday, or they will
finish in second place.
Dinneen's pitching and the great bat
ting of the locals was what won the
first game. New York looked good in
the first contest until the fourth inning,
when Chesbro was batted out of the
box, the locals scoring six runs.
Clarkson succeeded him, but the Har-
ward man was wild, hitting the first
man up and passing the second. A
sacrifice and a double brought in two
more runs, and the second game could
not be started any too soon to suit the
visitors.
Boston dubbed Clarkson hard in the
sixth inning, four runs resulting. An
error by Conroy in the seventh gave
the locals their thirteenth run.
Powell pitched fine ball in the second
contest, but his support was wretched,
while the Boston men played magnifi-
Gently, especially Collins and La
Chance.
New York had a good chance in the
second inning. when it had men on Sec
ond and third bases and only one out,
but Young put on extra steam and fan

Another opportunity was offered for a

Keeler'S sacrifice, but Elberfeld fouled
to Criger and Williams drove a liner
into Parents mittS.
Boston made the only tally in the
fifth. Ferris got in a pretty single and
Criger sacrificed. Young drove a fly
out to Anderson, and the latter threw
past third bag into the crowd in an
effort to nail Ferris and the latter
scored with the run that settled the
great battle.
The greatest of all spit ball"
artists Jack Chesbro whom the In
Vaders claim as almost invincibie, tried
to duplicate his victory of Friday, but
in his effort to land victory in the
first game he was given his worst
trouncing of the year, and sent to the
stable in the fourth inning, after half
dozen hits and half a dozen runs had
been scored.
Chesbro was an easy proposition
after the Champions got started after
him, and nothing he threw in the
fourth could fathom the locals.
Owing to the tremendous crowd, the
largest that ever attended game in
this city, ground rules were compul-
sorry. A hit into the crowd was good
for two bases.
The Champions gained by this rule,

bleS.
John Anderson was New York's star
with the stick, while Patsy Dough-
erty did get in one single and one run,
but his poor fielding was accountable
for the locals scoring three runs.

my Collins was feature Of the first
game.
The second game was a pitchers
battle. with the local infield just eat
ing up everything that came its way.
Collins covered himself with glory by
making one of the best stops seen on
the grounds, and mailing his man at
first.
Conroys work was quite the oppo-
site. However, it did not aid the home
team.
The story of how Boston got its
only run in the fifth tells the story.
Ferris hit a sharp grounder over sec

nificent stop, but could not get the
runner.
Criger sacrificed. Powell to Camel.
and old Cyrus Young sent a long fly
to Anderson. AS the ball was caught,
Ferris left second for third. and in
his anxiety to catch "Hobe," Ander-
son threw wide and the ball went into
the crowd, scoring Ferris.
New York had men on bases in two
innings, and things looked bad for
Boston, but the brilliant infield work
