Third Inning.
Boston, Oct. 14.-By a score of 2 to
j the Boston Red Sox won their third
victory from the New York Giants in
the world championship series before
one of the greatest crowds that ever
witnessed a baseball game in Boston.
To give the important contest added
spice and make it fully realized by the
ran is hard to beat with the class
lest of youngsters, Christy Mathew
son was sent against Hugh Bedient,
and one Of the finest battles of the
season was the result, in which Matty
was forced to acknowledge his master
in the modest youth from Boston.
Best Game of Series.
1t was by all odds the finest game of
the great series, New York giving
their box man great support, while
Bedient forced his opponents to give
the Boston men the simplest kind of
chances. No less than fifteen flies
were pulled out of the air as Bedient's
speed and change of pace were baf-
fling to the fullest degree.
Boston's five hits were sent like
rifle shots over the field during the
first thre innings, then the old mas
ter settlt down to as fine a line of
box work IS has been witnessed here
during tie past season. Mathewson
was eve in the hole, and disposed of
the last II men in succession, as there
was no Boston man clever enough to
work his way to first after Speaker
had found the bag in the third inning
on Doyle's miscue.
Bedient started off wild, passing the
first man up in the first two innings.
Each time he pulled himself together
in mastery style. In the first he was
helped out by a double play, but in
the second he compelled the Giant
batters to hit easy flies after a man
had reached second.
Matty Touches Bedient.
With one down in the third Mat
hewson turned in the first safe hit for
New York, and Devore was passed.

Over the plate. The Giants looked
troubled. They had figured that Be
dent would blow, but the young man
refused to bulge.
Manager McGraw and other coach
ers worked hard with mouth music to
rattle the Boston man, yelling about
the pitchers rubber. But it had no
more effect on Bedient than on a &c.
ment wall, and the Boston lad seemed
to cut loose with more confidence as
the game heightened out. After the
third he refused to pass a man, keep
ing the batsmen guessing by putting
the first ball ove for a strike.
Boston Scores in Third.
Boston scored their two runs in the
third inning, as follows:
Hooper drove the ball to left for
three bases. Hooper scored on a three
base hit by Yerkes. The crowd was in
a turmoil of excitement when Speak
er came to bat. Yerkes scored when
Doyle muffed Speakers grounder.
Speaker tried to go to second on the
error, but was thrown out, Murray to
Fletcher. Lewis was out, Mathewson
to Merkle. Gardner went out to Mer-
kle unassisted.
The seventh inning brought the
Giants their solitary run. Merkle got
a two-base hit into the left field
stands. Herzog flied out to Wagner,
Meyers flied out to Speaker, Merkle
went to third after the catch; McCor-
mick went in to bat for Fletcher; Mer-
kle scored on Gardeners error on Nc
