Boston, Oct. 9.-We have the Red Sox
on the run now. and there will be moth
ing to 1t but the cleanup In the next
four games for the Giants Matty was
unfortunate In not getting away with a
victory to-day, but. believe me. I will

myself. but am better to-day than ever

two innings to-day. and Wilbert Robert

Bedient or O'Brien tomorrow. Well.

them. There 10 Just q chance that Mama

Dame Fortune was dead against US to-
day. We did not get a break anywhere.
while the Red Sox had enough luck to
win whole seasons schedule of games.
Sex Are Lucky.
In the middle Of the last half Of the
first inning when the Red Sox were
dumping these fiuky hits, McGraw num-
bIed: mo wonder those FELLOWS won the

should have never scored one Of these
three runs.
Boston's next run. which came in the
NTH. sure was q lucky one. Again
Fletcher erred. Collins started OF by fan
ming. Hooper singled and Meyers caught
him stealing i've feet, but Fletcher. who
was unnerved by this time because Of
the luck against him DROPPED the throw.
He would have made two out Yefkes
tripled and was left At third when
Speaker lined to Fletcher. who tossed to
Gardner. doubling the Boston second
baseman OF third. F1etcher regained some
lost prestige by this catch. but take Il
from me, I believe that McGraw will
have Shafer. on there playing the short
field the remainder Of the series. Fletcher
has blown IN 4 couple Of timely hits.
which, on his part, will give him enough |
confidence to be Of much help to NJ
from now on. II was manager I would !
sure put Shafer In.
The fifth run scored by the Bostons |
was the luckiest one Of them Ill. With |
Two down. Lewis lifted long. high hy |

! wicked grounder through Fletcher that

been called an error. but the on,cial

Boston's sixth run. which came in the
