victory. but he proved his worth In the
tight places. and the visitors won by
close margin, while making four hits, four
runs and four errors.
The heavy hitting done by both teams
yesterday dwindled down to almost moth
Ing to-day. Ford let the Red Sox down
with four hits, but lie gave seven bases on
balls. and these, coupled with the ragged
playing Of his team mates, put him In such
bad holes several times that IT looked as
though the home nine would forge TO the
front In spite OF their weak hitting.
Smith started In the box for Boston. but
retired In favor of Hall In the third frame
Smith allowed only two hits, but these
were triple by Cree and home run by
Johnson, so that Donovan decided that Hall
would look much better on the mound. The
latter held the Yankees to two hits for the
rest of the game, a glaring error letting
IN the winning run in the eighth. Hall
helped the Yankees along. however, by hit

Sweeney was hit twice, TO his great disgust.

centre fielder. and the runner got 10 third
on the error. The home nine in its turn did
not field up to snuff. and both Yerkes and
Engle committed costly errors. which re-

outside the base line. But Williams lost his
head and tossed high to Gardner, who was
covering first, allowing Wolter 70 get to
third. Harry was caught of the bag, but
drew a high throw from Carrigan, so that
he dashed across the plate before Engle
could get the ball back to the catcher.
Two OF the hits made of Ford were
punched In the second frame. and resulted
incidentally, in three runs, as some weird
playing was mixed up in the inning.
