Rockribbed Defence and a Punch
or Two Count for The Red SOx

same thing and died at first, Yerkes thus
making one put out and two assists at
most critical point in the game.
Seventh Inning.
Again the Red Sox found Tesreau
complete puzzle, as Wagner and Cady
struck out, while Wood flied to Murray
Then came another rally by the Giants
and their best chance TO tie UP or win the
game. Merkle began badly by striking
out, but Herzog slammed hit through
Wagners territory and the crowd again
woke up. Meyers, who had an unlucky
day with the stick, flied out to Speaker.
but Fletcher hammered two-bagger 10
right field, on which Herzog, by great
sprinting, scored from first, aided by Il
rather poor throw to the plate by Hooper.
McGraw then decided to sacrifice Tesreau
for a pinch hitter. hoping 10 continue the
rally, and Mccormick was called to the
plate. He responded with single through
the box, which Yerkes scooped up back OF
second base. Fletcher pulled up at third.

FAIR WEATHER AT BOSTON
Rain May Hold Over a Day and
Not Halt the Game.

Boston, Oct. ll.-Promises Of fair
weather for to-morrow's fifth game be-
tween the Boston Red Sox and the New
York Giants In the Worlds Series was
held out tonight by Smith, the official
forecaster.
Showers during the day and early even
ing made the outlook for to-morrow's
game dismal, but when the weather man
had looked over late telegraphic reports
on weather conditions he said that. while
rain was headed east, II might be de-
layed until Saturday night or Sunday. He
predicted fair weather for tomorrow.

Second Inning.

Gardner whaled a slashing three-bagger
TO deep right centre, as the second inning
opened, and pulled UP at third. He might
easily have scored, as the ball rolled to
the fence and Doyle's relay throw TO
Meyers was wide OF the plate. 1t made
little difference. however, as he crossed
the plate within two minutes on wild
pitch by Tesreau Stahl then put up n
high fly TO Doyle, snodgrass pulled down
Wagner's fioater, and Cady struck out.
So the Red Sox broke the ice with their
first run.
Red" Murray struck out to start New
York's half of the same Inning, but
Merkle singled to right field, stole sec
ond and reached third as Yerkes threw
Herzog out at first. Merkle got no
further, however, as Duffy Lewis made
a Jumping catch OF a screaming liner to
left field by Meyers. II must be recorded
that Red" Murray was called out on
strikes. as he did not make move while
Joe Wood cut the plate on three pitched
balls.
Third Inning.
Smoky Joe" opened the third inning
for Boston with a single to right field
and went down to second as Hooper drew
a base on balls. Again Tesreau found
himself In a bad hole. but the situation
was relieved when Yerkes dribbled TO
Tesreau, forcing Wood at third. and when
Speaker persisted at first on grounder to
Doyle. There were runners on second
and third bases, however, when Lewis
stepped to the plate. but with a chance
to clean up he drove the ball at Fetch
err, who made an accurate throw to Mer-
kle for the third out.
II was one. two. three for the Giants
In their half Of the third inning. Wood
tossed out Fletcher on a puny grounder.
Tesreau swung In vain at three of Wood s
widest curves, while Gardner took good
care OF Devores we'll meant effort at a
base hit down the third base line.
Fourth Inning.
Tesreau gave Gardner free transporta-
ton TO first as the fourth inning opened.
but the Boston third baseman was forced
at second when JEFF wheeled and fieded
Stahl's bunt to Fletcher. The manager OF
the Red Sox stole second, went to third
as Merkle retired Wagner unassisted, and

Fifth Inning.

The crowd rose as one man with a roar
that could be heard for blocks when
Red" Murray made an amazing one
handed catch OF a whizzing liner from the
bat Of Hooper to start the fifth inning.
The ball fairly whistled as It shot almost
on a dead line toward the right field wall
but Murray pulled 1t down with his gloved
hand as II It was quito the easiest thing
in the world to do 1t was well for the
Giants that he did, as Yerkes followed
with a single To left. Speaker then
stepped to the plate. but the best he could
do was a grounder to Herzog, which forced
Yerkes at second. while a moment later
the mighty centre fielder was caught
stealing.
Captain Wagner OF the Red Sox, robbed
both Merkle and Fletcher of what under
ordinary conditions would have been sure
hits in New Yorks half os this inning
In this way he came to the rescue or
Wood In a way that no doubt did much
to save the game for his team. Merkle
bounced fast one over Woods head as
a starter. but Wagner dashed over tow
ard second base. scooped up the ball and
snapped 1t across the diamond to Stahl
In almost one motion. The crowd cheered,
as well II might. HerZog followed with
a single. Stahl making a good stop. but
being quite unable to hold the ball. Mey-
ers struck out at this Juncture. and then
Wagner drew forth another roar with a
remarkable one-handed pickup Of a
hard-hlt ball from Fletchers bat back
Of second base. which he got to Stahl In

First Inning.

Hooper the first man up for Boston,
greeted JEFF Tesreau with a singing
single 10 the box. and landed on second
a moment later, by virtue OF an error oy
the reliable Meyers. who threw the pail
over Fletcher's head. to force him at that
bag on an attempted sacrifice bunt oy
Yerkes. with two runners on the bags
and none out, things looked dark for the
Giants, but Tesreau settled down and es-
capped unscathed. Speaker drove
grounder at Fletcher. who scooped up
the ball, touched second base. Forcing
Yerkes, and then shot It to Merkle In
plenty OF time to double up Speaker.
Hooper took third on the play. but Lewis
died at first on another grounder to
Fletcher. The crowd cheered and then
sat back breathing easier
Josh Devore fell an easy victim 70
the cannon-like shoots OF Joe Wood and
walked back 10 the bench as the Giants
took their turn at bat Larry Doyle FOL
lowed with a clean drive TO right. but
was forced at second. when Snodgrass
could not get the ball beyond Yerkes.
With Murray at the bat. Snodgrass fell
sound asleep only two feet of first base
and was touched out on a snap throw
from Wood to stahl.

Sixth Inning.

BY this time Tesreau had settled down
TO his best form. and the Red Sox were
disposed OF in quick order. Lewis and
stahl struck out. while Gardner sand
WICKED in high foul. which Herzog took
on the run. shouting to Meyers. i've got
II! I've got it,
The Giants started rally In their half,
but nothing came Of It all. Tesreau led
of with q single to left. while Devore
bounced a hard drive of Woods shins,
the ball carroming off across the first
base foul line. This brought roar from
the crowd which rumbled back and forth
like peal Of thunder In the mountains
until the side was retired. With two men
on the bases and none out Captain Larry
Doyle was begged and implored for a hit,
but his offering was a high fly to Yerkes

Boston second baseman. forcing Devore at

Eighth Inning.

Ames was then called on by McGraw to
take up the work which Tesreau had been
doing so we'll in the box Fletcher took
care Of Hooper and Yerkes, the one on
ny and the other on a grounder, but
Speaker slammed the ball against the left
field wall for two bases. This drive count
ed for nothing. however, as Fletcher
threw Lewis out at first.
The Giants then made another brave ef-
fort TO go TO the front. Wagner for the
third time robbed a New York man OF 4
hit by swapping up hard hit ball from
Devore's bat with one hand and shooting
II over to Stahl stride ahead Of the run
ner. Doyle caught one of Woods fast
shoots clearly and drove II on a line to
deep right centre. but Hooper was there
TO gather II in. Then. Just to prove that
ne was human, Wagner made an error,
Snodgrass getting a life at first, and when
Murray followed with a single to left
there were two runners on the bases and
the hard hitting Merkle at the bat. Once
more opportunity knocked at the door. but
Merkle would not let him In. The first
ball Wood pitched was q. strike. Merkle
then fouled of two. but stood perfectly
stu as the next ball cut the plate. So
New Yorks last chance faded.

Ninth Inning.

To make assurance doubly sure, the Red
sox scored their third run In the ninth
inning Gardner opened with singh,
and took second on Stahls sacrifice.
Ames then passed Wagner. but the latter
was forced at second on Cady's grounder
to Fletcher. Gardner took third on the
play. and raced home a moment later
when Wood made his second hit of the
game. a single to right. just to show that
he could bat as we'll as pitch. Murray's
return throw was none too good, but
Cady. with fair chance to score. stopped
at third, following which Hooper flied to
Snodgrass.
The Giants never had a chance in their
last time at bat, as Herzog flied'to Speak

The Giants could do nothing In their
half. Doyle tried 10 drive ball TO right
field, but Yerkes was in the way, and
tossed It to stahl in plenty OF time. Fol-
lowing this. Wood completely mystified
Snodgrass and Murray with his speed and
sharp breaking curves, and both retired
on strikes.
