Mr.. Tesreau, Mr.. Donovan, Wild
Bill, Ozark JEFF; Shake.
Back in 1907, Donovan. pitching for
the Tigers, held the Cubs hitless for
five rounds. But Wild Bill couldn't
go the distance. The Cubs broke
the spell in the sixth and fayed his
hide off in the seventh.
Yesterday, Tesreau stood the rush
ing Sox toes up through the first five
stanzas. They couldn't hit him with
Gatling gun. But in these first
fVe rounds he pitched his marrow
out. Between his first and Second
wind, they broke beneath his guard.
He had pumped out the vital spark
and was waiting for the fame to burn
again. The alert keen-eyed Speaker
saw the hutter first and it was Speak
er's triple that started the iare-up
In the next round they got to him
with his guard down and, whirling
their bludgeons, drove him from the
field
This marked Bostons lone assault
but in that one, mad, headlong charge,
they swept the game beyond Giant
reach. The punch was there at the
psychological moment-and the knock
out was back of the punch.
Outside Of Woods game, brilliant
pitching in tho throbbing pinches and
the Red Sox rally that won, there
were three leading incidents which
featured above all others in the dag
play.
The first fell against Boston-and
cost her two runs The last two iell
against the Giants.
In the third round with one gone.
Wood passed Devore Doyle followed
with a short fly into left. Henie
Wagner should have eaten it alive
Gardner might have gotten it. Lewis,
facing the sun, had no chance and
yet he was left alone to drag il down.
This slip cost two runs and paved
the way for Red aJck Murray's re-
Incarnation. Jack responded with his
first worlds series hit and put his
pals to the good.
The second break developed in the
sixth With one gone and Tesreau
travelling the Hitless Trail. Speaker
slammed a long drive between DevOre
and SnOdgrass Both started for
It at full speed But the drive,
breaking away in a sharp slice" from
Snodgrass, swerved towards Devore
Josh was planted for it-an easy
catch-when Snodgrass, not knowing
this. dashed forward. knocked down
the ball, but failed to hold it, Out
. field team play here would have
saved a run-and possibly averted
Tesreau's downfall.
The turning point of the day-the
vital factor-developed in the seventh
There we're two Red Sox out with
Wagner on second and Cady on first
> Hooper alone stood before Tesreau
and victory. Tesreau must have
know what it meant to retire this
man as he lurched forward and stuck
, one over at terrific speed. Hooper
swung and the ball whirled up in Z
gentle foul. Meyers whirled and
dashed for the screen, lunged forward
and by the fraction Of an inch misset
it.
: An inch is an inch, but it is enough
: to win in an eyelash finish. By th'
: margin Of this failure Tesreau fell
and great, my countrymen, was thu

Yerkes singled and the stuff was off
The Last Stand.
The Giants stand was heroic.
q bravely planned assault, but no NOR
!, heroic than Woods.
/, Only one out, Merkle. Herzog ant
: Meyers hit safely with the tieing ant

a reason of his own, McGraw stoo'

verge of detonating, recovered hi
