GIANTS DEFEAT RED SOX AND
EVEN UP THE WORLDS SERIES

though II Is doubtful WheuiSI he NOu'N
have done so had the runner been up to
form
II was one of those drives that took the
New York captain over to the lip OF the
diamond for q one-handed spear In the
fifth he neatly blocked Stahl of second
when the latter tried to take base on
short passed ball. while in the sixth he
ran far out into right field to annex
Hooper's Texas Lacquer.
DOYLE. Herzog and Fletcher each handled
four chances apiece without an error.
Charlie made a fine stop of Yerkes's ran
back Of third base in the eighth inning
and got his man at first. Hooper was
camping along the trail at the time, an6
Marquard was putting everything he had
on the ball to end the game as quickly as
possible.
The peppery third baseman did a
brilliant bit OF work in blocking Gardner
off third in the critical ninth inning and
saved the game by getting his man. Red
Murray made one of HIS heart breaking
catches in the fifth, when he cheated
Wagner out OF an extra base hit. He
misiudged the fly at first, but ran back
and caught the ball with one hand as 1t
passed over his head.
Snodgrass Poaohing Again.
He also made a spicy running catch OF
| Gardner's foul in the seventh. Devore
and Snodgrass gave the New York fans
an attack OF heart failure In the seventh,
when they nearly ran into each other in
going after Wagner's ly. There were two.
out and Stahl on second at the time. The
fans" were In a terrific uproar. so the
players could not hear the cautionary
shouts of their team mates. Fortunately,
snodgrass backed up just in time to let
| Josh take the bail.
! stahl and Speaker contributed the best
that Boston had to offer in the way OF
bright and snappy fielding. The Red Sox
manager made several fine one-handed
stops at first, and In the third inning re-
ceived an awful drive from the bat OF
Larry Doyle right In his glove before he
could get out OF the way. Speakers catch
of FTetcher's fly In the ninth was a mas
terpiece. The rest OF the team played
right up TO form, being steady and con-
sistent at all times and not making an
rare precision. having five assists and
put-out to his credit.
Herzog is playing a wonderful game for
the Giants. in marked comparison with
Larry Gardner. who made his first nit
to-day. Not only is Charlie batting like
fend and fielding his position with
brilliance, but he keeps up a rapid fire
OF conversation. He never let up on
Marquard all day, and was after him
every minute. Toward the end OF the
game, when the slightest mistake meant
defeat Herzog's sharp words could be
heard above the bowls OF the crowd:
Put everything you've got on the ball.
Get him! Get him! That's right!' and
so on. He kept running over TO the pitch
er's box. Offering Rube advice and dig
glng into his ribs now and then TO stir
him UP. Charlie was officially at bat only
twice to-day but he made a two-base
hit and scored the winning run on
F1etcher's single. On his other three
trips to the plate he was hit once and
raped out a sacrifice fly. which scored
Murray in the second inning. He was
pretty we'll mixed up In both runs count
ed by the Giants.
Murray Ia also playing a brilliant game.
while Meyers is running close TO form
and batting we'll. Neither Merkle nor
Doyle has struck his stride with the stick.
But nothing better could be asked than
IAarry's work in the field
Hooper. a left-handed batter, quailed
before Marquard to-day. and his batting
career received a rude check Neither
Wagner, Carrigan nor Gardner is doing
much TO advance the cause of Boston.
Speaker and Stahl are the shining lights
OF the team, with Yerkes and Lewis close
seconds.
1t will be Wood against Tesreau at the
Polo Grounds. and defeat for Joe will
just about mean victory in the series for
the Giants. Wood is the only pitcher on
whom Stahl can rely. All the others have
been tried and have failed. With Mar
guard in fine form, deadly against the
Red Sox and inspired by his victory to-
day. Matty not likely to get the tough
breaks he received yesterday, II looks as
though New York had an edge in It's
favor and the Red Sox are on the de-
fensive.
