are the worlds champions of 1912.
They defeated the New York Ma
tionals Wednesday by score of 3
too In ten innings of bitterly
fought struggle they captured their
fourth victory of the worlds Sc
ries and carried off the premier
honors in baseball.
The giants won three games of
a contest that was played before
more than quarter of a million
of people and one contest was a
tie. The total receipts for the
eight games was $500, 1888, and each
Red Sox player receives $4,024,
while the Giant PLAYERS each come
p for s2,5ee.
Wednesdays was game of ex-
element and changing emotions
for the $4,000 spectators who went
to Fenway Park to see the teams,
which had struggled valiantly for
seven games with honors even,
meetin the deciding contest. Never
was a ball game more tightly
waged, for it was not until twi-
light had fallen upon the tenth
inning that the red-stockinged
Yerkes flashed over the plate with
the winning run. Nine innings of
pitching duel between the master
boxman of the Giants, Christy
Mathewson, and the STRIPPING Bedi-
ent and Smoky Joe" Wood for
the Red Sox, found the two con
tenders for championship honors
with a tally each.
Into the tenth inning the con-
test went and the Giants killed the
hopes of the Boston crowd by scor-
ing run on a double into the
bleachers by Murray and hit by
Merkle, which Speaker juggled.
Hundreds of fans tore up their
score cards, jammed their hats
down over their heads and discon-
solately left the grounds, for Math-
ewson was pitching a game that
was battling the batsmen of Bos-
ton.
Engle led off for the Red Sox in
the last half of the tenth. He had
gone in the box for Joe Wood anG
there was a groan when the Re-,
Sox pinch hitter sent up a tower

moved over toward the bleachel
seats and waited for the ball t.,

ball was recovered. EngIe was on
second, no one out and the crowd
was in frenzy of JOY.
Hooper tried to sacrifice, but
Mathewson foiled him, and the

could do was to fly to Snodgrass
The Giant pitcher tried to work
the corners of the plate for YerKes.
but Yerkes waited him out and
walked on four balls. With Engle

man was now yelling.
Speaker swung his big bat back
and forth watching Mathewson
like hawk. The first ball was II
curve inside and Speaker popped
up a big foul. Meyers, Merkle
and Mathewson went after it, but
it fell among them. New York's
ldSb CuduCt W sup OllC bOobOio
passed with the failure to get that
foul ball.
Mathewson started a high fast
one and Speaker met it fairly. On
line over Devore's head the ball
was driven and Engle rushed over
the plate with the tying run. On
the throw-in Yerkes went to third
and Speaker dashed on to second.
The New York in6eld drew in and
Lewis was purposely passed SO that
a runner could be forced at the
plate on an infeld grounder.
Then came the finish. Gardner,
with three balls and one strike on
him, made a long fly to Devore.
Yerkes set himself at third and
