to face him on the bases, and yet he got
out of the round without allowing a
run In every one of the first four in
nings the first man to face him reached
the bases, and two of these blossomed
into runs. Gardeners triple was respon-
sible for the run in the second. and a pass
to Gardner and a hit by Cady gave Bos-
ton It's second tally in the fourth. But
Tesreau was also in trouble in the third
and got out of it without being harmed.
Hooper was walked. Speaker, however,
did not sacrifice. but hit into a double
play. which helped materially to relieve
Tesreau's anxiety. But after that fourth
inning the big pitcher rounded into his
best form and twirled gilt-edge ball, the
final run made by Boston being secured
at the expense of Ames, who succeeded
Tesreau when the latter was taken out
to allow Mccormick to bat for him in the
seventh.

second. when Merkle hit safely with one

suit popped up a little fly to Yerkes

Giants Chance to Tie.
In the seventh there was grand
chance for the Giants to tie the score.
They managed to score their only run in
this game. and had the tying tally stop
ped within a few feet Of the plate Wood
was hit rather hard in this inning. He
had struck out Merkle, when Herzog
singled Meyers flied out to center, but
Fletcher, the weakest hitter on the team,
came through with a double to right
field. which sent Herzog home. McCor-
mick was sent up to bat for Tesreau. and
he hit the first ball pitched sharply
through the box. 1t was a single, but
Yerkes knocked it down as 1t was going
over second and recovered the ball in
time to throw out Fletcher at the plate,
when he attempted to tie the score.
There was another chance for the
Giants in the eighth. when Snodgrass was
given life after two were out on Wag-
ner's tumble and Murray hit safely. 1t
was up to Merkle, but Wood famed him
and saved his bacon.
