hitting the first ball for hard smashes,
but directly into wellcovered terri
tory.
Fourth Inning.
New York-.durray tripled to right
center. His drive was a liner over
second which Hooper didn't time right,
the ball getting past the Red Sox right
fielder, which gave Murray an extra
base.
Murray gets credit for a triple
and Hooper does not get an error.)
Merkle fouled to Gardner, close to
the stand. Herzog hit a long high
sacrifice fly to Speaker, Murray scor-
ing after the catch. Speaker went so
far into center to get the ball that he
old not even turn around to watch
Murray go home.
Meyers grounded to Wagner in deep
short, but 1t was too hot for the Red
Sox captain and it went as single
for the Giant catcher.
Fletcher hit line fly to Hooper in
deep right. One run, two hits and no
errors.
Collins was back in his rather un-
certain stride of the first and second
innings In this session Murray's
triple and Meyers single were hard
smashes and Speaker and Hooper had
to back-track to get drives by Herzog
and Fletcher
Boston-Stahl struck out, missing
a low one over the outside corner for
his third swing. Wagner flied to
Murray in short right center Car
rigan was robbed of hit by great
stop by Fletcher in deep short and
well toward third, being thrown out
by a quick throw to Merkle. No runs,
no hits, no errors.
This was another easy inning for
Mathewson and the old Giant main
stay seemed to be back in his regular
swing. In the second, third and
fourth, only ten Sox were at bat.
Fifth Inning.
New York Mathewson got another
hand and famed Carrigan dropped
the third strike and Matty started for
first. but Carrigan's throw beat him
easily.
collins gets credit for strike-out,
Carrigan an assist and Stahl an out
Snodgrass was oyer-anxious and
duplicated Mathewson's strike-out
stunt
Doyle flied to Lewis in short left
and another half-inning was wound
up in short order. No runs, no hits,
no errors.
Collins famed, the third
strike being called. In celebration of
the occasion, the sun, which had not
shone forth during the game, peeped
from behind cloud and was given a
welcoming cheer by the fans who felt
sighted at the discrimination of the
weather man; in favor OF New York.
Hooper connected for a line single
to center, the third successful connec-
ton in three times up.
AS soon as the sun demonstrated
that it was on the job, for keeps,
Murray and Snodgrass interchanged
positions, the latter donning his Cog
giles and taking the sun parlor in right
field.
Fletcher dropped Meyers throw to
catch Hooper stealing and he was
safe at second
Yerks, the pinch-hitting hero OF the
first game, came through again with a
triple to center, Hooper scoring.
Speaker lined to Fletcher, who
threw to Herzog, doubling up Yerkes
at third. One run. two hits. one error.
Two solid smashes were made on
Mathewson in this inning, Hooper and
Yerkes both driving the ball far out
OF reach of any Giant fielder and
Speakers liner to Fletcher on which
Yerkes was doubled at third almost
knocked the Giant shortstop of his
feet.
Sixth Inning.
New York-Becker drove an easy
one to Yerkes and was thrown out to
stahl. Murray was again there with
the wallop and singled safely to right.
Merkie flew out to Speaker in deep
left center. Murray was caught by
yard, Carrigan to Wagner on his
lame attempt to steal second. No
runs. one hit. no errors. Murray's I'M
successful attempt to pilfer secono
gave the first test to Carrigan's arm,
the demonstration given by the Red
Sox catcher. was thoroughly satisfac-
tory to Boston.
Boston-Lewis' bounder was too
hot for Fletcher TO handle, but the
Giant shortstop made game attempt
to recover. He was unsuccessful and
Lewis got credit for a single. Gard
