TO BE NO ONE-HERO AFFAIR AS IN PAST

versatility such as the Giants in i'll

slashing variety of getting runs or
extra base larrups can carry Boston
through, 1t seems.
iris Speaker in the ninth did choke
his bat and try to lay a Texas
Lacquer in left just over Fletcher's
head, but he was off his stride, and
popped up, Marquard crossing him
with a curve ball. Speaker hit Mar
guard hard on his first two trips to
the plate. Once Doyle knocked down
a deep smash and threw iris out at
first base. But for his lame ankle
Speaker would have made first base
easily. Speakers mex try was a
sharp single to left, which Murray
fielded with celebrity, holding Speaker
to a single. When Speaker came up
in a pinch in the sixth he fouled off
one to Meyers, and in the ninth, when
he was expected to start something,
he popped out.
Lewis pulled another bonehead play
yesterday and lost a chance to tie
the score. He was on first base When
Gardner smashed a scorching drive
down the flrst-base line. Lewis had
no idea, apparently, where the ball
had been hit. He ran wild and
slowed up at second, then stopped at
third. While the coach frantically
told him to score, he stood still
dumbly. Gardner, tearing around the
bases, had rounded second when he
saw Lewis on third. He had to hustle
to return to second, while Lewis
finally decided to score, and was mar
rewly safe. The fault may have been
with the coacher, but most of the Red
Sox blamed 1t on Lewis, judging from
the way they gathered around him
and berated his base-running. 1t was
his third slip-up of a costly nature in
three games.
The third game of the big worlds
series then narrowed down to a bat
tie between two players who gained
their minor league degree in base
ball as members of the Newark Club.
Marquard had pitched wonderful ball,
the best of the series by q good mar
gin. When the Red Sox did smash
the ball for their terrific drives the
Giant outfielders had held hard and
Boston was helpless against a stone
wall defense. but there was a wobble
in the ninth and Marquard found
himself in almost the Same predica-
ment that Wood did on the opening
day in New York, men on second
and third, with a one run lead to
protect. Wood, however, had to dis
pose of W. batsman, while Mar
guard had only one man to bring to
earth, and 1t developed that this mar
was Cady. Rube did not arise to the
occasion like Smoky Joe. Instead
he put one right in Cady's groove"
high on the outside. There was a
crash and the ball streaked on a fine
midway between centre and right.
Josh Devore was playing in right
centre and far out. but a glance
seemed TO make it certain that the
ball would fall sffe and the men on
second and third would give Boston
a 3 to 2 victory. while Cady would
get credit for a double. But another
Newark phenom, Josh Devore, '0S,
sprinted madly after the ball. His

who had been on second, was near

with the ball and stuck up both
hands. The ball landed squarely in
his NIT and another thrilling battle
was over. II is the consensus of
opinion that no other Giant out
fielder could have gotten the ball.
Snodgrass never tried it. Thus one
former Nevarker in robbing another
ex-Tiger made a hero of himself.
Josh gave Marquard brilliant sup
port all the way through. Twice his
wonderful speed enabled him to
knock down long smashing liners and
hold them to singles where they
might have been doubles, triples and
possible home runs. His work was
the most sensational bit of outfeld-
ing seen in the three games.
Red Murray pulled a circus one
hand catch of a sharp smash from
Wagner's bludgeon, but he ran in on
the ball and misjudged, making it
necessary for the pink-haired boy to
leap backward and skyward at the
same time, He stuck out one hand,
