Grafton. and, like Fletcher. Crandall struck
out, and the game was over.
Woods control was exceptionally
good. He walked but two men, and
! these were passed early in the game,
before Wood had settled down to his
! best form. He was hit safely eight
| times and struck out eleven men, which
] comes pretty near to being the strike
out record for worlds Series.
The most encouraging feature about
Woods work was the fact that he was
. always cool and collected. In every
pinch his teammates on the infield
would come in to encourage him. He
would waive them aside with an assur-
ing nod and get back to his work. 1t
was believed by many that in world S
series game Wood might grow nerv-
GUS but he stood the ordeal we'll and
, proved beyond doubt that he is great
| pitcher.
| Doyle's mfSplay. which really cost
| the Giants the game. is not charged in
the box score. for the reason that one
| man was retired on the play when there
! been made off of Tesreau in the sew
enth after one was out. There were
men at first and second and Wood up.
Wood hit just the kind of ball that
Doyle would have wished for 1t was
+, hit hard and right at him. and was
really made to order for double play.
| Doyle was anxious however, and in his
hurry let the ball get away from him.
Fortunately Fletcher had run over and
| by holding one foot on the bag and
stretching himself at full length on the
ground he got the ball in time to re-
| tire Cady. who was coming over from
| first. But the double play had been
missed and the two hits which followed
did the damage.
| For six innings Tesreau gave beauti-
full exhibition of pitching. He had terrific
sneed and a most deceptive spit ball, and
while his control was not good he was
| just wild enough to help his effectiveness.
| He had walked four men, but had not
been scored on during this period for the
! very good reason that Boston could not
connect with him safely. But it was evil
| dent that unless the big fellow was a
would tell on him. He was pitching every
| ball as hard as he could, and there was
of course, never an instant when he could
| take it easy. The break came in the
seventh. when he lost some of his speed,
and his defeat was the result though had
/ his support been perfect he would prob
ably have gotten away.
! Red Murray accomplished more yester-
| day than he did in the entire six games
letics last year. He got a hit yesterday at
a critical moment which drove in two
runs and for time at least he was given
| credit for having won for his team.
Left field on the Polo Grounds is one OF
| the worst sun. fields in either league, and
this, fact is going to prove serious
handicap to Duffy Lewis in all games that
are played here Lewis is anything but
a sun fielder He is unable to see balls
that come anywhere near its rays and
| this fact came very near proving disas-
trous to the Sox yesterday Doyle's two
| baCger in the third should have been an
easy out, instead of netting two bases
/ but Lewis never got near the ball and il
was hit at such an angle that Gardner
could not reach it.
| Little things are sometimes of great
Importance in these games. Chief Meyers
| could have saved the game had he had
just little more speed. In that seventh
inning Hooper sent up a little foul fly
close to the grandstand which Meyers
tried hard for but could not quite reach.
and Hooper took advantage of this res
