Fred Lakes Story Of 1909 Sox-Giants Series
Ex-Boston Manager Describes Third Battle

IN HE third game Of the Red Sox-
Giants inter city series was played
in Boston. New England baseball
lovers were given a rare opportunity to
see the team that had routed the Giants
in the second battle at the Polo grounds.
McGraw's men put up desperate
fight, but once again they were van
quished. Score: Red Sox 5, New York

which had been made slow and slippery
by rains The contest itself was not u
brilliant one, but there were plenty of
thrills which kept the fans on edge,

when the Giants came to bat in tho
ninth inning Charley Hall, who had
pitched alright BAH up to this stage of
the game. became as wild as hawk
and before things had quoted down
the Giants had tied up the score.
Mcconnell was the first man up for
us in the ninth and ne ingloriously
famed. Harry Lord made a desperate
effort to knock the ball out of the lot,
but his best effort was a high fly which
Mccormick gathered in.

sun was low in the western sky. ]

inside of an inning or two with the
score a tie.
Iris Wins the Game.
1t was Speakers turn at bat, The
young Texan slowly walked to the
plate, swinging three heavy bats. iris
had done some wonderful batting and
fielding in the first two games of the
series, but had not got a single hit in
the third game. Spoke" was uncon-
cerned and watched Crandall like d
hawk as he sent a couple of fast ones
sizzling across the rubber,
Iris finally picked one out to his
liking. Bang Crash. Ash and horse
hide met and the ball sailed toward
right field. Mccormick made a great
effort to catch the elusive sphere, but
he failed and the bali rolled to the
right field fence.

The Red SOX got busy with the war
club in the sixth inning and sent two
more men ACROSS the plate. Harry Niles
started the run making with a single.
French hit sharply to Ames. He tossed
the ball to Merkle, but the latter lost it
in the sun and Niles scored all the way
from first when the ball rolled to the
bleachers, while French took second on
the play. Hooper was not to be out
done by his mates and he singled, scor-
ing French.
Giants Tie Up Score.
Hall took a balloon ascension in the
ninth inning and before things had
quoted down the Giants had tied up
the score. Larry Doyle the head of
the batting list, was the first man up
and he was walked by Hall. Seymour
made mighty effort to do some ex-
ecution and slammed the ball to deep
center field, where Speaker gathered
it in.
Mccormick refused to aim at any
bad ones and was rewarded with a
base on balls. Doyle put the Giants in
the running when he stole third, much
to the chagrin of my boys.
Hall could not get them over for
Murray, but he did not pass him Red"
tried to duck one Of Charleys fast
shoots, but in so doing he hit the ball
weakly to Hall. The latter threw to
Stahl, who lost the ball in the sun, like
Merkle had done in the sixth, and
Doyle scored Mccormick scored a
minute later on a balk, while Devlin
tied up the game by smashing out a
rafting good single, which brought
Murray home.
Then came the ninth, when Tyis
Speakers big bat broke up the game
as was described above.
Sox Better Hitters.
The first three games of the series
proved conclusively that we were every
bit as good a fielding team as the
Giants and that we had little on them
when it came to hitting.
The New York mound artists were
supposed to be in a class by them
selves. Before the series opened crit
les had claimed that Mathewson and
Marquard would prove a puzzle to the
Red SoX hitters. while Crandau. Ames
and Wiltse would also. cover themselves
with glory.
The Red Sox of 1909 were a young
team. Few of the men had had a great
deal of experience in the big league,
but they all knew how to play ball and
were also true fighters
After the third game the series stood
to I in our favor but we'll we knew
that we would have to face Christy
Mathewson on the morrow The New
York players felt confident that Big
Six was unbeatable, but somehow or
other felt that this rnIgnty HEAVIER was
going to meet his Waterloo. In the
next article l will show how Ray Col
Inns, then fresh from college, lowered
the colors of the greatest pitcher in the
business.
