went 10 Boston. About seventyflve
~Jerseymen, however, who had come up
on the night boat especially to see the
game, were In the stands when the first
contest began. The skies were lowering
just as the first game began. Some
phenomenal work by Blackburn dis.
posed of Louden and Kelly in the first
session. Richie got what looked like a
Texas Lacquer from the Tigers short
stops bat, and Blackburn did some
stunts on Kelley's eraser and a little
later on Schlafly's.
The Grays were very easy In the first,
going out In order. Two hard flies to Hoff-
man and Sharpe's fan finished the Tigers
In the second. 1t was one. two, three for
the Grays In their part of the second. Joe
Crisp got to second In the third on n base
on balls and McGinnity's sacrifice, but LOU
den's up to Lafitte ended the chance.
Blackburn on the job.

a single and the bases were filled. Black
burn caught Schlaf1y's liner close to the
ground and doubled Crisp at third, saving
Lafitte's bacon.

In the eighth and ninth. They were easy,
one, two, three outs, and the team went
in and cleaned up.

out. Schlafy hit safely and drew Peterson
into a foolish throw to second when there
washn't a soul to receive the pill. and
