Boston, oct. l5.-Rarely In a worlds
series game has a team risen TO such
heights in offensive play as tho Giants
attained this afternoon. The old belief
| that even n worm will turn was borne
| out when Joe Wood, who had twice taken
| the measure OF McGraw's men. faced
! them in the box in an effort 10 make IL

I the undulatlons-every little wiggle that
brought tho Giants 10 even terms In tho
series and made them favorites FOR tho
/ final battle to-day:
First Inning.
Josh Devore put Wood In the hole right
of the reel, by laclng a short single TO
HcinIe Wagner. which tho Boston cap
tain tried vainly to field with ono hand.
The little hit grew In Importance when
Larry Doyle spanked drive through the
box into centre field for n single. Devore

and McGraw caused further confusion by
ordering n double steal, which Devore
and Doyle carried out TO the letter. Then
followed a batting orgy that VIII long

grass added 20 Boston's misery by hitting
| a drive into right field, which rolled for
double when Harry Hooper fell, in
! trying for a shoestring catch.
| Right at this point McGraw changed
his attack and Murray was ordered to
lay down a hunt. which he did in the
most approved style. He hooked one
| down TO Stahl and died at first. Snod-
| grass reaching third easily. Fred Merkle
| hit one a mile in the air and tho sweeping
| gale carried the ball beyond the reach
| Lewis, for two bases. Snodgrass scored
| in canter. Merkle was run down and
put out at third, when Herzog bounced
| TO the box, but Herzie reached second,
TO score when Chief Meyers belted one
far down the left field foul line for Il

Second Inning.
! With Hall pitching for Boston in place
OF Wood. the Roman holiday idea was
carried on in the second inning. but in
a less strenuous manner. Devore walked
and stole second easily. Hall grew con-
fused and signed a ticket for Larry Doyle
About this time Hall remembered that II

and caught Devore by shade, Klein hest
tating before he called the turn. Fred
/ snodgrass singled to right. Doyle taking
second base. With an idea OF repeating
the Devore incident, Cady made an at
tempt upon Doyle's life. His effort was
| a distinct bloomet BY the time Speaker

| the ball Doyle was home and Snodgrass
was on third No more scoring was done,
for Murray popped to Wagner and Mer-
