ERRORS HELP THE RED S0X
Four Pale and Pallid Hits by
New York Team Lead to
Only One Run, Which
Means Nothing.

Hugh Bedient, Of Boston. struck an eX-
ceedingly valuable pitching lead while
rrospectinr at the Polo Grounds yesterday
afternoon. and followed it 10 victory
over the much trodden-upon New York
Yankees. who labored under a famine Of
hits and a feast Of errors.
The brilliant youngster Of the Red SoX
has already staked claims TO few games
this season. but not until yesterday did
he rise to the tvirling heights attained
last october against the Giants In the
worlds series The Peerlessly-Led es-
caped with a defeat by the small score OF
10 1. thus putting of for another day
the celebration Of their first victory on
home preserves.
Four rather pale and palhd looking hits.

York. but after the furry al the getaway
when Hugh gave his only pass. the batting
Of the Yankees became more fancied than
real.
The side was practically retired in order
in the last few innings. Sterrett being the
only player to break up the steady pro-
cession 10 the bench. The former Prince
ton captain singled and stole second with
one out in the sixth but was lett
stranded on the BAGS. Bedient had a rare

Workmanship.
Mcconnell was a worthy rival for the
Boston luminary. but his support did not
have the true championship lustre and

extensive in the end The attenuated New
York twirler allowed only seven safeties
in all. and was ready to call quits when
ever the occasion required. but not so MS
teammates. All four members OF the IN
field contributed an error apiece.
Ezra MidkiH did not play, having had
a dispute with a batted ball during
the morning practice and coming out sec

chest. But Claude Derrick was back al

Sterrett. too, was imported early in the
FRAY 10 sub for Harry Wolter, who had
the temerity to raise point of order with
silk OIoughlin after being called out
stealing second in the third. The umpire
gave the protest frigid reception and
asked Harry TO repair to the clubhouse

Engle and Speaker to play the heavy
tragedy roles in the line Of batting the
rest OF the men had only TO I'LL in the
background. Two singles for Speaker and
triple and single for Clyde, the re-
formed. made a deep impression on the
game.
The Yankees for the nonce got away In
the lead. scoring a run before Bedient
found his bearings in the first inning.
There were two out when Hartzell beat

the plate. The fleet Birdie stole second
while Hal Chase was arguing with
Redient about q pass to first, which he
ultimately received. Sweeney, however,
struck out as prettily as any one could
ask.
