sPUDs DEFEAT BROOKLYN
IN TEN-INNING GAME.
Pficster's Pitching is a Feature-FIoIds
Brooklyn TO No Hits for First Eight
Innings.

The Spuds ran up against hard
proposition in their game with Brook
Ign yesterday and were only able t.
defeat them after playing a ten-inning
contest with a l to 0 victory as the
reward for their efforts, Pfester was
right on edge and for eight long in
nings kept the Brooklynites from get
ting a hit. For nine long innings it
seemed that it was impossible for the
Brooklyn team to hit the wide curves
that cut the corners of the plate in
such maner that the batter either
was compelled to step out to reach
them or thought he had to step back
to get a crack at the ball. Pfester's
speed was what made his delivery SO
effective and came very near giving
him credit for a no hit game. The
game was won in the tenth when
Schultz raped out a two Dagger. Hoff-
man followed and was almost as lucky
for he cracked a hot single over to
center which enabled Schultz to score

LUCK HELPS Sox WIN;
JONES DOES THE REST.
After Long Run and n Dive the Great
Fielder Nabs the Bali and Makes a
Double Play Himself.

With liberal sprinkling of luck, a
remarkable catch and an unassisted
double play by Jones, with Altrock at
his best and the Detroit Tigers ac-
commoduting enough to wallop New
York for the second time. everything
came Chicago's way and this morning
finds them again at the top of the per
centage column. The game with Bos-
ton was won by the score Of to
Jones remarkable play came in the
ninth inning. The score stood TO 2
Grimshaw had just scored on his triple
and Chadbornes single. Morgan had
sacrificed Claiborne TO second. At
this critical moment Freeman pasted a
long drive towards left center and
Jones made for it. Claiborne thought
it was good for three bases and start
ed for home. He had rounded third
when Jones. by a remarkable effort
leaped sidewise and thrust out his
hands. The ball struck in his nit and
Jones, seeing that Claiborne had no
chance to get back to second. ran to
the plate and made the double play
L.mself.
Jesse Tannehill tried his level best
to get even with the Sox for snatch
ing the victory out of his hands yes
terday but he was unequal TO the task
and nine hits and three passes in one
inning were secured from his deliv-
cry. The Sex had secured all of their
runs in the first seven innings and in
the eighth when Boston began to
look dangerous, the Chicagoans tried
to increase their lead, but their eff
forts were unavailing. In the ninth
things looked especially blue but
