got two on with none out. filling the bags
after one was out in the fifth. In the
fourth they got two on with one out and
vet failed TO score. Nine men were leit
on the bases in the first six innings dur
ing which time the BOstonians attached
a single tally to their credit.
While the New York youngster worked
under a fine lead, he was compelled TO
bear the brunt of much airy persihage on
the part Of the home team. which did its
best to unnerve him. JEFF. however, was
never cooler in his life and did not quail
before the big crowd, which occasionally
gave despairlng cheers whenever they
thought the youngster showed signs OF
weakening.
Cady, the Boston catcher. was one 81
Tesreau's greatest tormentors, but Jetr
gave him back Just as good az he sent.
He famed Cady once and stopped two
easy grounders to the box on his other
trips TO the plate. JEFF had the laugh as
we'll when he got on base three times.
twice by hits and once on pass.
The Red Sox earned only two Of their
runs. Tesreau giving his teammates time
TO retire the side before two of the runs
counted in the latter part Of the game
were scored. Errors by Larry Doyle were
responsible for both. One Of these was
partly excusable, as the wind blew high
infield fly right where Larry and Merkle
could get mixed up on It the easiest.
Doyle tried to make an eleventh-hour
catch, but failed.
The bear hunter was wild, giving five
passes, hitting a man and making two
wild pitches, one Of which bounced into
the stands, letting a runner on first take
two bags. but he interjected the strike-out
combinations at critical moments, tanning
six batsmen Hooper, who has done some
mighty pinch hitting, took the count
twice, once with two men on the bags.
For the first time in the series a real
old fashioned j. Franklin Baker put in an
appearance. There were really two Of
them, one by Larry Gardner and the
other by Larry Doyle. Gardner produced
his four-ply shot at the beginning Of the
second frame with bases clean as n whis-
tie. The ball struck the ground in right
and bounded into tho crowd. Not TO be
outdone the New York Larry sandwiched
in his mighty salrte in the sixth, but in
order TO 20 Gardner one better, he waited
until Josh Devore had been passed to first,
so that two runs were scored ON the hit.
In this. too, the ball struck the ground
and bounded over the fence.
Batter. Patterned Averages.
II was harvest day Tor the New York
hitters, and how they did salt away the
safeties! The only man on the team who
failed to get hit was Red" Murray.
But Red" who has been batting like
wildfre In the series, figured IL out that
since everybody else was hitting 1t might
be a good time for him to take little
vacation. Consequently. he saved up all
his safeties for delivery in the pinches
tomorrow.
Chief Meyers was right in his element
with three hits in four times up, and all
were singing raps TO left. In the seventh,
with Merkle on first, the signal was given
for the hit and run, and Meyers raped
20 Wagner. The Chief would have been
an easy out at first, but the Boston
shortstop made a play 10 force Merkle
al second. Fred had too big start, how
ever, and all hands were safe. The Of
fetal scorers called It hit, but later re-
versed the decision.
Larry Doyle made Up for lost time with
three piping safetles in four times up,
while Snodgrass, Merkle and Tesreau
corralled two apiece. Charlie Herzog, like
Murray saved most OF his ammunition
for tomorrow, but came along with one
safe drive for the sake OF his record.
The Giants made their sixteen hits count
for twenty-one bases. while the Red Sox
got thirteen bases on their eight hits.
On the whole the Red Sox did not have
a great deal Of success with Tesreaus
spitters. They could not do a thing in the
pinches, and while every one on the
team. with the exception of Yerkes and
Cady, connected safely at least once
Hall, the pitcher, was the only player
who showed marked hitting proclivities.
He got on the bags every time he was
UP. twice on hits, once on pass and
once on an error.
More Of that poor base running and
coaching which have cost the Red Sox 60
many runs was in evidence to-day. Hall
was safe on Merkle's misplay and took
