ENDS IN TIE
Darkness Stops Contest With
Score 6 to 6.

b0Spou, OcI lO.-1nJS city Ii DEeAtn-
iessly awaiting the next worlds series
clash between the Giants and Red sox.
Yesterdays game gave the fans enough
70 talk sbout for weeks. It snded with
darkness IN the eleventh inning with
the score 4 Tie, q to 9.
The two teams went at II hammer
and tongs from the start. The lead
swung back and forth. which added to
the excitement, already fsverfsh. be-
cause Of the hard hitting with which
the game abounded and the brilliant
fielding and ragged fielding. The Gi
ants battled their way from behind
and with utmost tenacity hung on to
the Red SoK until they had snatched
the lead away from them In the eighth
inning. Fully as tenacious, the Red
Sox replied with heavy FIRE and tied
the Giants in the eighth inning and
again In the tenth. The scoring ceased
with the tenth inning.
1t was the battle SCARED veteran
Mathewson whom McGraw chose to
face the heavy hitting Red Sox and
stop them In their determination to go
straight down the line winning victo
ries. At recurrent periods Matty was
bumped savagely by the Red So1, but
he stood up to he punishment like a
major and with stout heart came back
with the best he had and survived
more than one dangerous situation.
He had his usual good control, and
that helped him, and he also used his
fade away advantageously several
times, but when the Red Sox did hit
him they everlasttngly made the sphere
sing and shrek as 1t cleayed a line to
distant points.
Collins Knocked Out Of Box.
Not an iota less ruthless was the
batting Of the Giants. The Giants had
the satisfaction Of knocking n Bos

New York's onslaught in that period.
An error BY Lewis, however, q mun.

Soirss which rocked Collins from his
throne, and It was a costly error. YET
It was Boston's only error. The Rex
6ox outnelded the Giants. They were
steadier. but showed no more fully IN
the brilliant fielding plays. which came
often. The only inexpensive New York
misplay was a mutfed f0ul by Merkle.
Fletcher was the weak spot In tho New
York fortress. His errors were ex-
tremely costly. In truth, five Boston
runs can be traced directly to the
trAnsgressions Of the unfortunate
Fletcher. He murfed a liner and lost IL

play; he mufed a throw to stop a STEAL.
