WOOD HOLDS
GIANTS DOWN
Red Sox Twirler Unhittabls
at Critical Stages.

Now York, Oct. lin another stub
born battle on the Polo grounds, thu
fourth In the worlds series, the Rex
So1 beat the Giants 8 to l. The Rex
Sox were ahead all the way.
The Giants, however, gave sterl
chase. Held back for five innings by
the Joe Wood formula of smoke ant
curves, all the more effective on tn,
dark day, they never lost heart, ant
in the sixth and seventh innings they
threatened a successful climbing OF
the Red hopes frame. The Giants
grouped FIVE of nine hits in the sixtt
and seventh innings, but the Boston
genius of the knoll, backed by sharp
support, was too effective for the un.
~ceasing New York efforts to reach the
desired consummation.
The Giants did just what they did
the hrst time they encountered Wood.
They made more hits than the Bos-
toms gathered off the New York pitch
ing. Nevertheless the Missourian ma
gtcian tried them sorely. He altered
his system somewhat from the first
game. He did more curving, he crook
ed the ball over the plate oftener than
he applied straight speed.
Tesreau Pitches Fine Game.
Tesreau was Clearly and smartly
supported. He held the Red Sox to
five scattered hits, scattering one at a
time through the first FIVE innings.
Two Of the hits were timely. A wild
pitch followed a three Dagger and
gave the Boston's one run; a. base on
balls and a hit figured in the other.
Had Meyers intercepted a steal one Of
the two runs wouldn't have been made,
but JEFF was mostly to blame for both.
When he had retired for a pinch hit
ter, Ames came IN and base on balls
off Ames also was associated with 4
run.
Big JEFF was getting better and bet
ter when he stepped aside. His con
troll was better, the Boston players
were falling before him fast. The
single error each side made had no
bearing on the scoring. A wild throw
by Meyers and a fumbled grounder by
Wagner were the only misplays. Be
fore he made that tumble Wagner
had absorbed everything. That left
hand OF his shot out like fire and pin
Toned ground balls in the fifth and
eighth innings which, had they gone
clear, would have put his team IN
serious predicaments. Fletcher's cap
1tal playing at short and a wonderful
one handed catch while in the air by
Murray also embellished the defensive
department.
Wood helped win his own game with
a hit. His battery mate, Cady, also
lowed home a run with a single. The
heavy artillery on the Boston side,
however, manifested itself in the per-
son Of Larry Gardner. A triple and a
single by Gardner rang the knell Of
defeat for the Giants. Fletcher not
not only capered nimbly in the field,
but made the hit which sent In New
York's only run. The man he scored
was Herzog.
Bedisnt and Crandall Likely.
When j.. Garland Stahl squeezed
Fletcher's fly in the ninth inning and
ended. the game the general question
was, who will pitch in today's game
in Boston3"
TO get q line on this Information
McAleer Of the Red Sox was
waylaid as he left the Polo grounds.
and when asked who his selection
would be he quickly replied:
Hugh Bedient Is the man. He has
been saved and he is In fine trim.
Bedient in my opinion will beat the
Giants down. By the way, can YOU
tell me-" addressing his questloner,
who is going to pitch for the Giants
at Fenway park tomorrow"
A reply to McAleer's query was
just at that moment. In
fact some Of the Giants were WOO
who would be called upon by
to face the Red Sox. Fol-
of the Giants who are on the
inside seemed to think CrandalI would
be started this afternoon.
