credit for pitching a grand game Of
ball The Rube had splendid control,
and had every thing as the baseball
expression goes. We were absolutely
unable to connect with his delivery for
more than one hit an inning until just
at the close OF the game, when we
began to pound him heavily. This
was in the ninth inning. Herzog gets
credit for a put-out on Gardner in
this inning, but Speaker, who was
coaching from the third base box,

so our chances were all but killed as
II was two out and a man on first.
Stahl sent Henricksen in to run for
him, and Cady went to bat He drove
an awful clout to right that looked
good for winning the game right then
and there. but Devere made great
running catch of 1t. when none of us
believed he would be able to get any
where near the ball.
Marquard may be said to have saved
histown game when he knocked down

1t was a quick play and he executed
1t perfectly. The fact that Herzog
dropped the throw, as Speaker claims,
does not detract from Marquard's per-

BOSTON, oct. 10-Nothing can

they cannot beat ours. We have out

Boston's last chance flickered out
today when we stepped up even with
the Red Sox. 1 believe il was the
most exciting finish ever seen in Il
worlds series. Little Josh Devcre
kept us in the race. ! never saw
such a wonderful catch as that of his
which ended the game in our favor.

remarkable because he was playing
short field and had to run away out
for the vicious line drive. Captain
Doyle knew that Cady, a left field
hitter, was not liable to drive into
right. He wished. in case Of the worst
happening, TO be able to shut off Wag-
tner from scoring, as this would have
been the winning run. If Henrick-
sen only should score. the game would
be no worse than a tie. Devore was
