 Game Begins
 After it was announced that if a ball hit one of the policemen standing in the outfield it would be still in play the same as if 1t had hit a fence, O'Brien took his place in the pitching box and the first three offerings to Devore were called balls by Umpire Evans. The fourth was a strike and then Devore shot the next one over second for a single to the out field amid the cheers of the New York rooters. Doyle put up high one to Speaker and Devore was the second out when he tried to steal second base. Car rigan to Wagner. Snodgrass also sent up fly to Speaker.
 Boston was easy for New York in the first. Hooper sent up a fly which Fletch- CT got. Yerkes struck out and Speaker hit weak grounder to Doyle who tossed the centerfielder out as he limped to the bag.
 Murray started the New York contin- gent to cheering in the second inning when he drove a hit to right center for two bases. Mer<le laid down neat sacrifice, going out. O'Brien to Stahl Murray reaching third. Murray then scored on Herzog's sacrifice fly to Hoop CT, the latter's throw being little wide at the plate. Meyers was out, Gard her to Stahl.
 The Red Sox got their first hit in the second inning when Lewis sent fast single to center. He reached second on Gardner's sacrifice Herzog to Merkle. Murray gathered in Stehls fly, and Wag ner fell a victim to strikes, while the Boston crowd yelled for hit.
 In the third inning Fletcher waited patiently and was rewarded with base on balls. He took second on Marquard's sacrifice, OBren to Stahl. Fletcher was left at the middle bag for Devore went out on strikes and Doyle shot a hot liner tright into Stahis hands.
 Marquard was a complete puzzle to the home players that faced him in the third inning. Carrigan sent high foul which Meyers got and O'Brien and Hooper both famed.
 It was one, two, three for New York in the fourth. Snodgrass went out on bounder to Yerkes, who tossed the ball to Stahl, and Murray and Merkle sent slow grounders to O'Brien, who threw both men out at first.
 Yerkes, in the fourth. for Boston flied to Fletcher and the New Yorks dressed" the field by having the out fielders back toward the fences as Speaker stepped to the plate. He hit to left field for a single and was forced at second by Lewis, who hit to Herzog. Gardner flied to Murray.
