 vore. Instantly he had caught it, De- wore whipped the ball homeward. On
 came the flying Yerkes, on came the ball. 1 Mathewson, who saw the throw would l be wide, threw up his hands and Meyers | turned away without trying for the ball. Yerkes did not know the throw was wide, however, and he plunged head foremost
 and slid over the plate in a cloud of dust | with the run that won the championship l for the Red Sox.
 1 The crowd fairly screamed in a delrium
 of joy. The men threw their hats into | the air and cheered until they could
 cheer no more. Hundreds rushed upon I the field and gathering about the Red | Sox bench applauded the winning play CTS. Mathewson encrcled himself in his great coat and walked from the field. | Scores of persons followed the pitcher
 and patted him on the back, congratulate l ing him upon his fine work in the box.
 Manager McGraw elbowed his way l through the throng to the Red Sox club house bench under the stand, where he congratulated Manager Stahl and the Red | Sox players
 McGraw C0ngratulates Red Sox l q can't say that I'm glad. Jake" but enc of the teams had to win; 1t was | the Red Sox, and gratulations are in | order" said Manager McGraw ad-
 dressing Stahl.
 | A spectator addressed an insulting | remark to McGraw as he walked across | the diamond and blows were passed l but no damage done.
 | Mathewson and Bedient were called
 upon to pitch the deciding game, and
 the veteran outpitched his young rival l by shade. Bedient was taken from | the box to permit Henriksen to bat for | him in the seventh. Joe Wood went | On the mound after Bedient and as the score was a tie at the time Smoky

 The Red Sox tied the score in the sev- enth when Stahl knocked one Of Mathew sons fade aways Into the air and 1t fell
 between three felders. Wagner walked l to first and all hope for a run seemed gone when Cady sent up a fly to Fletcher for the second out. 1t was here that Stahl called in Henriksen to bat for Be- dent And that choice of pinch hitter was the turning point Tn the Red SoS fortunes. Henriksen punched two base hit past Herzog and Stanl came over the plate with the tieing run. And the story of the deciding runs in the tenth that brought Boston Il second world cham pionship has been told.
