New York, October 1.-The Bostons, pennant winners of the American league. were victors today over the New York National league team by a score of to in the fourth game of the worlds series. The Red Sox have now won two games and the Giants one game, the second con- test having ended in tie.
 Some S6O0o people that jammed in the confines of the Brush stadium today, saw pure baseball in contest that thrilled inning by inning. The two teams played in their true form and the nervousness shown in earlier contests was not ob- served.
 Wood the Star
 Smoky Joe" Wood shone today. The Red Sox players fairly hugged their star boxman as he walked frcm the playing field with his second victory over the New York club dangling from his belt Gray, sodden clouds screened the sun and in the murky atmosphere Woods speed ball worked havoc with the Giants batting. only once was a Giant batter able to gauge the Boston manss curve for hit when a hit meant a run
 The infield was wet from a nights rain and Wood stood on the hurling mound for nine innings with pile of sawdust beside him to dry the bal, before each delivery to the plate. His service was without blemsh or flaw, not one man be- ing passed, while the N--ants walked to the plate and then walked back again after vainly trying to read the riddle of the Boston boxman's mystifying drop balls and dast nshoots.
 How can we hit what we cannot see?'' asked Red Murray, when he walked to the bench after flaming fCh the second time.
 Wood was in trouble in only two in- nings, in the sixth and again in the sev- enth, when the home club's only run came over the plate. The sixth showed Wood at his best. Tesreau jabbed hit to left and Devore bounced drive off Woods ankle for a base before any one was out. The stands went wild with excitement and tried to rattle the Boston pitcher. Blu; Wood was as cool a Labrador iceberg in March. He caused Larry Doyle to pop out and then fed Snodgrass and Murray on quick breaking down shoots, making those Giant batters send weak rollers to the infield.
 Sox Score Early
 Boston broke into the run column in the second when Gardner tripled and scored on Tesreau's wild heave of spit ball. The second run came in the fourth when Stahl reached first on a force hit, stole second. went to third on an infield out and home on Cady's drive. Boston made its third run in the ninth. Gardner singled, was sacrificed to second by Stah, took third on an infield out and tailed on Woods single.
 The Giants only run was scored in the seventh by Herzog on his own single to center and Fletcher's two bagger to right field.
 A New York boy broke the hearts of sthe Giant partisans. He is Heine Wag ner, the Red Sox shortstop, whose plays today robbed the Giants of three nits. Two of his stops of smashes over second were made with one hand on the dead . run. Then half turning. he snapped his throws to first base ahead of the run ners by a step.
 With one run needed to tie in the eighth Devore slashed a grounder past Wood. Thousands cheered as the ball sped by second base, for a hit meant good start for final rally Wagner raced over the bag, scooped the ball with his eloved hand and snapped the ball to first without recovering his balance. The fleet Devore was out by inches.
 Yerkes and Fletcher also starred in fielding plays while Murray robbed Hoop- CT of a three base hit at the beginning Of the fl1tn Running pack 10 the con- crete wall, the Giant right fielder leaped into the air and clutched the ball with enc hand
 Tesreau Pitches Well
 Tesreau did not get into his pitching stride until the Red Sox had made two runs After that he frightened up and in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings turned the Bostons back in one, two. three order. The moist ball finger was taken out only to allow a pinch hitter to bat for him.
 There were thirteen strike outs during the game. For Boston Cady struck out twice and Lewis Stahl and Wagner once each On the New York side Murray and Merkle were famed twice and Devore, enodgrass Meyers and Tesreau went out once each by the strike out route.
 With today's game the players cease to share in the world series receipts. The four games played netter them 2S. breaking the record established by the New York and Philadelphia clubs last year when the players share amounted to sl27910.61. The winning players this year will receive $8s 54337 and the losers $59.-
