mournful walls from the instrument add

Murray's two-basger, which sent De-

was made after two balls and two strikes
had been recorded. 1t was line hit to
left center. Speaker getting his hands on
the ball after a long, swift run.
The Red Sox were like schoolboys
when Yerkes scored. They threw their
caps in the air and yelled. Then they
shook hands with one another and hur-
ried away from the rushing army that
came tumbling out of the various struc-
lures.
The Giants. who half hour before
were fairly laughing at the prospect OF
success sadly packed up their bats. put
on their coats ard sweaters and were
lost in the crowd.

of 10 to that the Giants would finish on
top. But there was no Boston money IN
sight because Hub bettors had come to
the conclusion that the Red Sox. because
of their poor work Monday and Tues
day, did not warrant financial backing.
One of the greatest plays of the series
was made in Bostons second inning.

scooped it and without steadying himself
threw it wildly to Fletcher. The latter
made a long reach, caught the bali with
one hand and made stab at the nag
with one foot just in time to force Gard

reau TO warm up in left field Just beyond
the foul line. but Matty pulled himself
together.
The Red Sox had kept under cover. Not
a Boston uniform had been seen up to
O'Clock. the Giants having the field to
themselves At that time countless young
men walked around in front OF the stands,
throwing red-painted clappers to the fans.
Probably 5000 of these noisemakers were
distributed gratis. but when asked II the
Boston club was footing the bill the hus-
tiers said they didn't know. They had
simply been told by their employer to
hand the clappers to every one that 1t
was possible to reach and when the sup
ply was exhausted the Hub rooters were !
ready for riotOus afternoon.
Hooper robbed Capt. Doyle of clean
home run In the fifth inning. Doyle |
leaned against a fast ball and drove 1t |

speed and yanked the hall down just |
as it was about to fall among the spec
tators This catch. all things considered. |
deprived the Giants of the worlds cham
pionship. for if Hooper had missed 1t |
Doyle would have circled the bases with |
a run that would have made the score
to l. in New York's favor at the end
of the ninth inning.
Mathewson received painful injury in
Boston's half of the eighth inning. Yerkes
lined the ball at the New York pitcher
and it struck him on the inside OF the

one hand and got Yerkes with a bewil-
dering throw TO Merkie. Matty hobb.ej
around Tor several minutes trying u TIlu
out how badly he had been hurt. Then
he asked for time to pitch few balls to
Meyers, in order to learn whether he
could continue or not. Fortunately Matty
wasn't laid UP. but the leg panied him
during the rest of the game.
Bonehead bali playing yielded Bostons
run that tied the score in the last half Of
the seventh. After Gardner had been re-
tired Stahl hoisted fly that came down
in short left center field. Fletcher. Muir
ray and Snodgrass all ran for the ball,
which should have been an easy out. but
it dropped safely. Then the peerless
Matty failed to get four successive balls
over for Wagner. The first ball Matty
pitched to Cady resulted in a fly to Flet-
cher and it seemed it all over. As Hen
ricksen went up as pinch hitter for
Bedient, Wood began to warm up. Matty
took his time and had two strikes and two
balls on Henrickson when he grooved one
