II took the hustling Red sox ten innings
70 stop New York at the Polo Grounds
Yesterday afternoon by a score Of 10 !.
Also ii took the combined efforts Of
Southpaps coumbe and Leonard to cheat
the unlucky Ray Fisher out OF a Just re-
ward for a fine afternoons work.
Whenever Fisher pitches for Chance
the New Yorks may be counted upon TO
furnish an exhibition that would make
the oid-time White Sox blush With shame
for their title OF hitless wonders. The
metropolitan cast absolutely refused TO
furnish the hard toilins mound man the
encouragement OF few runs. Finally. in
desperation. the Vermont schoolnsster
threw the game away with sild pitch
In the tenth inning.
II seemed a great pity 10 the crowd
which fingered to the disappointing end
that Fishers valiant errort should not
have been crowned with success. He
didn't exactly deserve to win; but Ger
tslniy ne did not deserve TO lose. That
he did not score a shut out was as much
Ms own fault as that OF the team behind
him. But that his team, on the other
hand, did not clinch the argument inside
the regulation period in spite OF Bos-
toms one run was due entirely To that
lack OF an offensive punch which alone
In responsible for the present humble
position Of the Chancemen.
Somehow, all season the New Works
have looked none too impressive against
good. left hand pitching. and this Is Just
what Bill Carrigan fed the batters Of the
Peerless Leader all afternoon. Thrust for
thrust, young Couinbe upheld his honor In
a great duel with Fisher until he finally
gave way to a pinch hitter In the eighth
inning. Leonard. who followed, did not
appear 40 deadly as his predecessor.
though In the pinches New York could
do nothing with him. Leonards only
fault was unsteadiness in control. Twice
ne left himself open through passes at
critical moments.

made a pretty catch Of Ycrkes's foul near
the stand. Daley beat out hit TO Yerkes
with only one out In New Yorks half.
He was caught mapping on the bag on
what appeared very much nasrant
balk. Chance and all his team protested
vigorously. but In vain. In both the third
and fourth each side was retired in order.
