Back in 1907, Donovan. pitching for
the Tigers, held the Cubs hitless for
nVe rounds. But Wild Bill couldn't
go the distance. The Cubs broke
the spell in the sixth and fayed his

saw the iutter first and it was Speak
er's triple that started the fiare-up.
In the next round they got to him
with his guard down and, whirling
their bludgeons, drove him from the
field
This marked Boston's lone assault
but in that one, mad headlong charge,
they swept the game beyond Giant
reach. The punch was there at the
psychological moment-and the knock
out was back of the punch.
Outside Of Woods game, brilliant
pitching in the throbbing pinches and
the Red Sox rally that won, there
were three leading incidents which

yet he was left alone to drag it down.
This slip cost two runs and paved
the way for Red aJck Murrays re-

first worlds series hit and put his
pals to the good.
The second break developed in the
sixth. With one gone and Tesreau
travelling the Hitless Trail, Speaker
slammed a long drive between Deyore
and Snodgrass. Both started for
it at full speed. But the drive,

this, dashed forward, knocked down

saved a run-and possibly averted
ITesreau's downfall.
The turning point of the day-the
vital factor-developed in the seventh.
There were two Red Sox out with
Wagner on second and Cady on first.
Hooper alone stood before Tesreau

Meyers hit safely with the tieing and
