BOSTON. Mass. Oct. 10.-Paul
Reyere's famous ride and the minute
men who made Boston famous were
eclipsed yesterday afternoon when

as r. W. Emerson might have
scrubbed it had his position in life
been a humble scribe instea1
of a Harvard prof and a man of
letters.
Jake Stahl's men are truly the
minute men of modern baseball.
Again and again they proved it in the
yesterday that stretched out over two
hours and twenty minutes into eleven
thrilling. throbbing rounds. Finally
nature itself, no longer able to stand
the strain. brought relief by dropping
the curtain of night on the scene.

The fate of the two teams in the
second big game really hung on one
man. the indomitable Mathewson. If
Matty had the support the Red Sox
gave their pitchers he would have
won the game. If the Red Sox had
had a pitcher like Matty there would
have been no question as to the re-
suit.
Stahl's Regret.
Jake Stahl had one big regret last
night and that was his tardy call on
Bedient. Hall. who was rushed into
the breach when Collins wavered. was
a dismal failure. He gave one of the
rankest exhibitions of 'offish'' work
ever seen in a worlds series. He had
no idea where his offerings would
fetch up and was as useless to his
team while he worked as a %punctured
tire is to a racing machine or a sub
marine would be in a rae with an
airship on dry land.
Hall did not have his nerve with
him and his wildness nearly cost Bos-
ton the game.
New York's first show of nervous
ness in the opening game seems tc
have worn off, and the Giants fighi
on with a grit and determination tha'

ferocity at times. but 1t was spas

Meyers. Murray and Herxog Hit Hard.

scorching wallops. 1t was Fletcher

The Red Sox Left Fielder Levi
seems to be suffering under the sam
kind of a hoodoo Red Murray expert
enced last season. His failure t
gnage a fly from Doyle's stick in tn
opening game at the Polo Ground
nearly cost Wood a victory on Tues
day and paved the way for two Clan
runs.
Yesterday Lewis mufeo a com
paratively easy fly from Snodgrass'
willow, and it nearly upset the Re
Sox ship.
