this up with another dinky little chop
stroke over GARDENERS head in the elgn'h.
Fletcher made up for his poor RECORD .,
yesterday by singing In the n1th an"
scoring Herzog with what proved TO Do
the winning run. This, too, was arthur
FIRST hit of the series, and 1t was OF I'M
told value Murray and Herzog. however,
are proving themselves to be the men VI
the hour. But more Of them anon.
Roston fans" went to bed before the
town closed up, at II o'clock last night,
with a heavy sky over their heads and
doubt in their minds as to the probability
OF a game to-day. Early in the morn
ing the heavens began to leak copiously,
and daybreak found sodden grounds ana
wet pavements. 1t was not much OF
night to stand in line for the purpose OF
buying tickets to a baseball game, ana
there is no authenticated record OF any
one being so rash as TO do so. In the tore-
noon, however, a bright warm sun peereo
through the clouds, drying up the moist
ure, and by Ii o'clock the sky was clear.
The umpires took a jaunt to Fenway
Park and decided that a game was posi-
BILE. In spite of the fact that the crowd
on hand to-day was larger than the one
yesterday, there were few at the grounds
in the morning. Perhaps few thousand
were present when the noon whistles blew
along the Charles River. The main en-
trance to the field was locked, and
large quantity of police, both individually
and collectively, presented grim front
to those who Jared forth early. In the
rear, however, where the bleacher tickets
are sold, there was much activity, which
steadily increased.
Even Money on the Series.
The main assault on the turnstiles did
not begin until nearly / o'clock. and
for the next hour the rush was
tremendous. A steady stream of
spectators poured into the park until
every nook and Granny in the STANDS
was occupied. and three thousand or
more were spread out behind the fence
in the field. At least a thousand sat on
q hillock In the far distant corner OF the
ground back Of centre, while roofs and
telegraph poles that overlook the diamond
were pre-empted.
Before the game the Giants werea an
even money bet to win the series, largely
on account OF the poor showing Of Collins
yesterday. Perhaps IL was because of
veering sentiment, or on account of the
spirited fight New York made yesterday,
at any rate the cheers that greeted the
Giants on their appearance were heartier
than those which came the way Of the
Red Sox. Although all friendship seemed
to cease after the game started, and the
crowd beloved it's loudest and longest
10 unnerve Marquard, still the Giants
seemed to have many supporters, and
there were not a few who FASTENED to
tell Devore Just what sort Of a little
prince he was after he made his great
catch.
The royal rooters and the Elks were on
hand as per schedule, each with band,
which insisted on playing when the other
did, much to the delight OF the Boston
music lovers, who sat equidistant from
the two fabrics Of harmony. AS for the
uncultured ear, it was different. THE
Rag Time Soldier Man." we'll scrambled
with "Everybodys DOM It" which is
stnl popular here, loses much Of its native
charm under such circumstances.
When the Red Sox took their batting
practice it was apparent that Speaker
at third while rounding the bases in the |
tenth inning OF yesterdays game, and the |
injury which appeared slight at first, has |
now become serious. He entered the |
struggle with his foot swathed in BAN
dages He made one brilliant catch, which /
robbed Fletcher of a three-base hit but !
he limped painfully. and 1t was easy 10 |
see that he was in agony.
Speaker started TO retrieve Murray's |
double in the second inning. but had TO |
give It up and let Hooper recover the ball. |
His batting eye was good, but he could |
never make home run out Of the hardest |
kind Of a drive that stayed inside the !
grounds
Just before the game started Tristram |
was rewarded for his valiant service dur
ing the American League season. Hugh |
Chalmers rolled up In bright and shin |
ing automobile, the counterpart of the |
one Larry Doyle received at the Polo |
Grounds on Tuesday. While the photog- |
raphers fell on their prey somebody read |
G speech through megaphone-that Is, |
he talked through the megaphone while
reading the speech.
Mayor Misses q Chance.
10 the painful surprise of every one, IT |
was not Mayor Fitzgerald who handled |
the meKaphone. For the first time in the
series the Mayor missed film, and as the |
stands buzzed with the scandal the base
usurper made away before any one could |
and out his name After the ceremony |
was over Speaker invited Larry Doyle for |
a ride, and the two sluggers encircled the
field, while mighty cheer rippled through |
the packed stands Speaker drove the |
machine and broke the speed limit for the
distance
1t was generally conceded that Mar
GUARD and O'Brien would hook UP in the
game, but Tesreau warmed UP alongside |
the "Rube," and not until the batteries |
were announced was the question definite |
" settled. Billy Evans took his turn be-
hind the plate, with Klein on the bases |
Rigler in right field and o'Loughlin In |
left field.
The work OF the umpires was above |
criticism, and few complaints were made |
