BOSTON, Mass, Oct. ia high,
cold wind, nervousness on the part
of Joe Wood, and the ragged work
Of the Red Sox defense, has caused
the present series for the champion
ship of the world to 60 the limit
in order to decide a winner.
1t was anything but a baseball
day. 1t was not even a good day for
football. During the entire afternoon
a gale blew across the field and
made good ball-playing out OF the
question. It was not alone the ve-
locity Of the wind that worked havoc
with the players. The low tempera-
ture stiffened them to such an ex-
tent that 1t was an impossibility to
display a first-class article Of ball.
. Cold Chilled Pitcher.
Just as Joe Wood walked into the box
for tho start OF the game. the royal
rooters jumped the low fence In left
field to protest against the manage
ment's failure to reserve seats for them
In what they claimed to be their Sec
ton. For the next ten minutes every
body. including the mounted police,
gave their attentions to the small riot.
Meanwhile Wood was tossing I'D slow
balls to Cady and. naturally. the cold
wind got to him. and when the royal
r9oters were finally driven back into the
bleachers and the game began, Joe was
stiff. and, therefore. unable to get any
thing on the ball.
The ineffectiveness of Wood made the
Giants look to have lots OF pepper"
and as soon as things began to break
their way, which they did from the
time Umpire Evans called play" they
we're full Of fight and kept hustling all
the time. No lead seemed to satisfy
McGraw. for as late as the ninth inning.
The Giants hit the ball very hard.
and fifteen of their drives went safe.
CHIEF Meyers and Larry Doyle were es-
cracking out three solid blows. Larry
Doyle's home run drive was low
liner into the right field stands, and he
also lined out couple Of singles:
while Meyers made three singles all Of
which were to left field.
flAyeo MI ana KUN.
For the first time during the series
New York tried the hlt-and-run game,
and Murray laid down a sacrifice
when Snodgrass was on second. This
new mode Of attack caught the Red
Sox OF their guard, and the outcome
favored the Giants.
The fielding OF the Giants was Off ai
times. Officially. Larry Doyle made two
errors but only for the fact that there
was a man on first a couple of times
would have come away with four OF
five mlscues chalked up against him.
Jen Tesreau did not by any means
pitch as good game OF ball today al
he did In either Of the contests, in New
York and had not the Giants jumped or
Wood for six runs in the opening inning,
he, too. would have gone the distance.
Iesreau was very unsteady and PLACED
but the Red Sox were unable to com,
through with timely hit or a base or
Tesreau had fine break to his spit
II was going He kept his fast one OF
the inside and 1t was very effective, bu
1t was the Red Sox chasing his low
splitter that saved him In many tigh
pinches: 1t looked as though he tight
ened when hits meant runs, but It wa
poor batting on the part OF the Bos
ton team that pulled him through, fo
they went after bad balls all during the
encounter.
Giants Confident.
After Devore had beaten out hit I,
Wagner and had taken second OF
Doyles line single to center, confidence
was sticking out Of the entire New
York team, each and every one of then
believing that they could hit Wood an,
hit him safe. The long delay stiffene,
Joe. and before he could get going, tn
Giants were upon him with their wa
clubs.
The hits by Devore and Doyle shool
Joe's nerve a bit. for, with men on firs
and second he started his long wind-up
and the runners walked up base Thl
piece of Observation-Disclosures. cOlnpletsl
unnerved him, and he ''grooved" on
for SHodgrass, who doubled to right
scoring two, runs, and then four NOR
hits increased the number OF New Yorl
runs to six, r T.
Although wild in the first inning h
was on the mound ami making a will
throw to. second trying to catch .Doyl
OF that bag, Charlie Hall settled, down
and pitched fine ball for the next thru
innings. 1t was. off Hall. that ,Doyl
hit for the circuit, and, as Deyore wa
on first at the time. the drive nette
New York two runs.
There ID a great deaj OF Speculation
as to who will be chosen for noun
il may be that McGraw will send Mar
guard back. Manager Jake Siahl wi
warm up Wood and Bedient before th
game, and pick the one he thinks ha
the most stuff"
