morrow at Fenway Park here.
With one victory registered for the
Red Sox, Manager McGraw sent out
his star twirler, Mathewson, to cap
ture the second game for the Giants.
Mathewson had been rested for about
two weeks to win the first game he
twirled, but tonight the Red SoX still
were happy because of their one VIC
tory and no game lost with the dread
ed Mathewson worn out with a hard
pitched eleven-inning tie game.
iris Speaker, the Red SoX centre
fielder, furnished the dramatic climax
in the contest, where fortune played
tickle favor with first one and then
the other team.
The ninth inning found the Red SoX
and the Giants locked in a tie score
of ) to 5. The Red SoX left-hander
Collins, had been driven from the box
in the eighth inning by shower OF
hits and Hall had been sent to relieve
him. Merkle smashed out three-bag-
ger in the tenth inning and the home
club post was in gloom when he scored
on a sacrifice hit.
In the fading light it was difficult
for the. Red Sox to follow the course of
Mathewson's big drop and New York
felt confident. Yerkes had been turned
back and the big crowd looked to
Speaker. The trio of Giant outer-gar-
deners moved far afeld. Mathewson
wound up and turned loose fast In
shoot Speaker gave a wicked swing
and the ball was sailing far over
Becker's head in centre. Speaker
rounded first, then second, and raced
to third. The ball caromed to Shafer,
who momentarily juggled it. Speaker
hesitated at third, then sped for the
plate and slid under Catcher Wilson,
who fumbled Shafer's relay throw
That tied the score and the crowd went
wild To make sure that he had touch
ed the plate Speaker returned and
touched the plate a second time before
Wilson recovered the ball.
Hit MatheWsOn Hard.
The Bostons took the lead in the
first inning and scored three runs by
hitting Mathewson hard, but the
Giants, by peppering away at Colllnss
delivery, picked up a run in the second
and another in the fourth inning. Bos-
ton tailed another score in the fifth
inning, but when Duffy Lewis dropped
Snodgrass's fly opening the eighth in
ming New York started batting rally
that caused Manager Stahl to hurry
Hall to Collins's relief. Three runs al
ready were over the plate on an error,
a single and two doubles. This gave
New York a lead of one run.
The Giants held their lead but

agely, and aided by an error by
Fletcher, the tieing run was sent over
the plate Then came the exciting
tenth with Merkle's hit and Speakers

night over his poor game at short stop
for New York. Two of his three glar-
ing errors aided materially in making
runs by the Red Sox.

Boston, accepting ten chances and eX-
ecuting brilliant play in the ninth in
Meg when on the dead run he speared
