New York, Oct 11.--The Bostons,
remnant winners of the American
League. were victors, today over the
New York National League cham
pions by a score of 8 to !, in the
fourth game of the Worlds Series
Tie Red Sox have now won two
games of the series and the Giants
one game, the second contest having
ended in tie.
More than $4,000 people jammed in
the confines of the Brush Stadium and
saw Simon pure baseball in a con-
test, today, that thrilled inning by
inning. Both teams played in true
form and the nervousness shown by
the PLAYERS in the earlier contests was
not observed.
Smoky joe, Wood shone again and
the Red Sox players fairly Rugged
their star box man as lie walked from
the playing ffeldwith his second vic
tory over the New York Club dangling
from his belt Gray sodden clouds
screened the sun and in the rhurky
atmosphere Woods speed ball worked
havoc with the Giants batting. Only
once was Giant batter able TO
gauge the Boston mans curve for
hit when a hit meant run.
The infield was wet from night S
rain and Wood stood on the hurting
mound for nine innings with a pile OF
sawdust beside him to dry the ball
before each delivery to the plate. His
service was without blemish or flaw
not one man being passed, while eight
Giants walked to the plate and then
walked back again, vainly trying to
read the riddle of the Boston box
mans mystifying drop balls and fast
in-shoots.
How can we hit what we cannot
see?" asked Red" Murray. when he
walked to the bench after tanning for
the second time.
Wood was in trouble in only two
innings, in the sixth and again in the
seventh. when the home clubs only
run came over the plate. The sixth
showed Wood at his best. Tesreau
jabbed hit to left and Devore
bounced a drive off Woods ankle fog
a base before anyone was out. The
stands were wild With excitement and
tried to rattle the Boston pitcher. But
Wood was as cool as a Labrador ice
berg i'm March lie caused Larry
Doyle to pop out and then fed Snod-
grass and Murray on quick breaking
down shoots, making those giant hit
tiers send weak rollers to the Red Sox
infield.
Boston broke into the run column
in the second when Gardner tripled
and scored on Tesreau's wild heavC
of moist ball The second run came
in the fourth when Stahl reached first
ON a force hit, stole second, went to
third on an infield out and home on
Cady's drive. Boston made its third
run in the ninth. Gardner singled, was
sacrificed to second by Stahl. took
third on an inheld out and tailed on
Joe Moods single. The Giants only
run was scored in the seventh by
Herzog on his own single to center
and Fletcher,s tWo-bagger to right
field.
A New York boy broke the hearts
OF the Giant partisans. He is Heine
Wagner, the Red SoX shortstop, whose
plays, today. robbed the Giants of
three hits. Two Of his stops of

turning he snapped his throws to first
base ahead of the runners by a step,
With one run needed to tie in the
eighth. Devore dashed a bounder past
Wood Thousands cheered as the bail
sped by second base, for hit meant
a good start for the final rally. Wag-
ner raced over the bag, scooped the
BAH with his gIoved hand and snap
ped it to first without recovering his
balance. The feet Devore was out by
inches.
Yerkes and Fletcher also starred in
fielding plays. While Murray robbed
Hooper of a three base hit at the be-
ginning of the fifth. Running back to
the concrete wall the Giant right field
er, leaped into the air and clutched
the ball with one hand.
Tesreau did not get into his pitch
ing stride until the Red Sox had made
