New York, Oct. 1.-THE Bostons, pen
nant winners of the American League,
were victors to-day over the New York
National League champions by Il score
of 3 to in the fourth game of the world
series. The Red Sox have now won two
games of the series and the Giants one
game, the second contest having ended in
tie.
Some $500 people, damned in the con-
fines Of the Brush stadium to-day, saw
simon-pure baseball in a contest that
thrilled inning by inning. The two teams
played in true form and the nervousness
shown by the players in the early con-
tests was not observed.
Smoky Joe" Wood shone to-day. The
Red Sox players fairly Rugged their star
boxman as he walked from the playing
field with his second victory over the
New York club dangling from his belt.
Gray, sodden clouds screened the sun and
In the murky atmosphere Woods speed
hall worked havoc with the Giants bat
ting. Only once was a Giant batter able
to guage the Boston mans curve for a
hit when hit meant run.
The infield was wet from nights rain
and Wood stood on the hurting mound
for nine innings with pile of saw dust
beside him to dry the ball before eacn de-
Livery to the plate. His service was
without a bemlsh or flaw, not one man
being passed while eight Giants walked
to the plate and then walked back after
vainly trying to read the riddle of the
Boston boxman's mystifying drop balls
end fast inshoots.
How can we hit what we cannot see?"
asked Red Murray when he walked to
the bench after tanning for the second
time.
WOOD TWICE IN TROUBLE.
Wood was only in trouble in two innings
in the sixth and again in the seventh,
when the Giants only run came over the
pate. The sixth showed Wood at his
lest. Tesreau jabbed a hit to left and
Devore bounced a drive off Woods ankle
for a base before any one was out. The
stands were wild with excitement and
tried to rattle the Boston pitcher. But
Wood was as cool as ii Labrador iceberg
fl March. He caused Larry Doyle to
pop out and then fed Snodgrass and MUIR
ray on quick breaking downshoots maxi
ing those Giant hit ,ers send weak rollers
| to the Red SoX ildeld.
| Boston broke in,o the run column in
The second when Gardner tripled and
scored on Tesreau's wild heave of a moist
ball. The second run came in the fourth
when Stahl reached first on "A field 8
choice, stole second, went to third on an
inheld out and home IN Cady's drive
Boston made its third run in the ninth.
| Gardner singled, was sacrificed to sec
ond by Stahl, took third on an infeld out
and tailed on Joe Woods single.
The Giants only run was scored in the
seventh on his own single to center and
letcher's two-bagger to right field.
New York boy broke the hearts OF
the Giant partlsans. lie is Heine Wagner
the Red SoX short stop whose plays to-
day robbed the Giants of three hits. Two
of his stops of smashes over second
were made with one hand on the dead
run. Then half turning, he snapped his
throws to first base ahead of the runners
by a step.
