Boston, Oct 9.--The second contest
 of the worlds series between the Bos- ton American leaguers and the New
 York Nationals today went eleven in-
 nings to 8 tie score of to 6, when
 darkness put an end to the battle that kept S0.000 spectators on the edge of keenest excitement throughout every inning. The contest will be played over
 tomorrow at Fenway park.
 With one victory registered for the Red Sox, Manager McGraw sent out
 his star twirler, AMathewson, to capture the second game for the Giants. Math- ewson had been rested for about two weeks to win the first game he twirled,
 but tonight sthe Red Sox still gloated over their zone victory and no game lost, with the dreaded MathewsQn worn out with hard pitched eleven inning tie game.
 Iris Speaker, the Red Sox middle fielder, furnished the dramatic climax in the contest where fortune played fickle favor with first one team and then the other. The ninth inning found, the Red Sox and the Giants locked in tie score of to 5. The Red Sox left handler, Collins had been l driven from the box in the eighth i'm
 ming by shower of hits, and Hall had
 been sent to relieve him. Merkle
 smashed out three bagger in the tenth inning and the home club host was in gloom when he scored on a sac- rifice hit In the fading light it was difficult for the Red Sox to follow the course of Mathewson's big drop, and New York felt confident. Yerkes had
 been turned back to the plate and the big crowd looked for Speaker. The trio of Giants outer gardeners moved far affeld. Mathewson wound up and sent fast inshoot up to the plate. | Speaker gave a wicked swing and the bal was hurting far over Beckers head in center. Speaker rounded first, then second, and raced to third. The
 ball caromed from the back fence and Becker seized it and threw to Shafer, who momentarily juggled it. Speaker hesitated at third, then sped for the plate and slid under Catcher Wilson, who juggled Shafer's relay throw That tied the score and the crowd went ! wild. To make sure that he had touch ed the plate, Speaker returned and touched the plate a second time before Wilson recovered the ball
 Red Sox fans were not loath to give the Giants credit for a game fight The Bostons took the jump in the first in ming and scored three runs by hitting Matnewson hard. but the Giants, un- diSmayed, fought back and by pepper ing away at Collins de.ivery picked up ono in the second and another in the fC urth ming. Boston tailed another score in the fifth inning, but New York was not to be denied, and when Duffy Lewis dropped Snodgrass' fly, opening the eighth inning, they started a bat ting beee that caused Manager Stahl to hurry Hall to Collins relief. Three rIfVa tL,, ,I-A orror, a single and two doubles, which gave New York a lead of one run
 The Giants held their lead but mo- ment, for the Red Sox attacked Math- ewBOn's drop curves savagely, and, coupled with an error by Fletcher the tiefng run was sent over the plate. Then came the exciting tenth, with Merkle's hit and Speakers mighty smash to the center field fence. Fletch- CT was broken hearted tonight over his poor game at shortstop for New York Two of his three glaring errors aided materially in the making of runs for the Red Sox.
 Wagner starred at shortston for Bos- ton, accepting ten chances and execut- ing brilliant play in the ninth in ming when on the dead run he speared F1etchers grounder with his gloved hand, lurched, and with a rife shot throw that Sfahl took with one hand nailed Fletcher at first base
 There was an unusual bit of baS, running in the game for a worlds se- ries contest. Five bags were offered
 Of these Hooper stole two and Stahl one for the Red Sox, while Snodgrass and HerZog each beat CaaTigan's throws. Hooper for the Red Sox had field day. He knocked out three hits.
