After playing eleven exciting innings the
afternoon, for the second time In the series,
by the score of / to 8.
The ending was most spectacular, and the
big crowd went wild when the winning run
was scored. After the Bostons had been re-
tired in the eleventh. with Setback roosting
on third. the crowd settled back with a
great sigh of relief. as the quickest sort of
fielding by NH prevented the ex-Washing-
tonlan from crossing the plate. Then Cross
opened with a fly to Parent, and as he Is a
great pinch hitter big chance to score was
thought to have passed. But John Ander-
son, who has been hitting like fiend of
late, brought the crowd to its feet with
yells of delight as he spanked a tremendous
liner TO left that struck the fence and was
good for three bases. Manager Stahl was
the next batter up. and 1t was thought he
would surely hit out long fly at least, but
he was overanxious, and the best he could
do was a weak roller to Grimshaw and he
was out, with Andy still perched on third
Charley Jones then walked UP to the plate
and the bleacherites beseeched the popular
center fielder TO make a hit, and he couldn't
withstand the pleadngs Catching one of
Dfneen's fast curves up near the handle of
his bat. he sent the ball looping into left
and a mighty yell rent the air. Setback
came tearing In to get under the ball. but
his efforts were useless. the ball dropping
safe, and Anderson scooted over the plate
with the winning run.
The crowd rushed on the field with yells
of delight, one portion making for Anderson
and another for Jones, and both had to
stand for a general handshaking and claps
on the back by the happy fans" This
popular pair were certainly the heroes of
the moment.
