GAME
ENDS IN TIE
Darkness Stops Contest With
Score 6 to 6.

lessly awaiting the next worlds series
clash between the Giants and Red Sox.
Yesterdays game gave the fans enough
to talk about for weeks. 1t ended with
darkness In the eleventh inning with
the score a tie, 9 to 9.
The two teams went at 1t hammer
and tongs from the start. The lead
swung back and forth, which added to
the excitement, already feverish. be
cause of the hard hitting with which
the game abounded and the brilliant
fielding and ragged fielding. The Gi
ants battled their way from behind
and with utmost tenacity hung on to
the Red Sox until they had snatched
the lead away from them In the eighth
inning. Fully as tenacious, the Red
Sox replied with heavy fire and tied
the Giants In the eighth inning and
again In the tenth. The scoring ceased
with the tenth inning.
1t was the battle SCARED veteran
Mathewson whom McGraw chose to
face the heavy hitting Red Sox and
stop them In their determination to go
straight down the line winning victo
ries. At recurrent periods Matty was
bumped savagely by the Red Sox, but
he stood up to the punishment like p
major and with stout heart came back
with the best he had and survived
more than one dangerous situation.
He had his usual good control, and
that helped him, and he also used his
fade away advantageously several
times, but when the Red Sox did hit
him they everlastlngly made the sphere
sing and shrek as 1t cleaved a line to
distant points.
Collins Knocked Out of Box.
Not an tota less ruthless was the
batting Of the Giants. The Giants had
the satisfaction Of knocking one Bos
ton pitcher out of the box. Ray Col

was forced to vacate the eminence III
the eighth inning SO vehement wa
New York's onslaught in that period.
An error by Lewis, however, a mum
ed fly, opened the way to the smuggling
soiree which rocked Collins from his
throne, and 1t was a costly error. Yel
It WAS Boston's only error. The Rel
Sox o~utielded the Giants. They were
steadier, but showed no more fully IN
the brilliant fielding plays, which came
often. The only inexpensive New York
mlsplay WAS a mutfed foul by Merkle.
Fletcher was the weak spot in the New
York fortress. His errors were ex-
trenely costly. In truth, five Boston
runs can he traced directly to the

AS the battle frightened in the later
innings there was much manipulation
OF forces and deploylng OF the re-
serves by the rival managers. Nc
GraW's moves In the transfer line
served well even If they didn't enable
,nim to win. Stahl displayed nice
judgment at knowing just the rign,

dismissal Of Collins in the eighth was
summary. Speaking OF Collins, he Is u
slow pitcher and the time consumed
In peering at the catcher to get the
signs increased the length Of the
game.
Murray's Acrobatic Feat.
The sun burst forth along toward
the last half Of the game and Murray

post. In the tenth inning Speaker hi,
