| into left field and the relief runner
rounded third and romped home with
tie winning run and the Braves third
victory In three games.
Although Gowdy did not cross the
plate with the run, which his double
| started he was the hero of the game
! His two doubles and home run IN
| four times at bat were the feature hits
| of the contest. Capt. Johnny EVers
was second with three singles, and
| Schmidt, Deal and Maranville also
contributed opportune hits. Murphy
it'll two doubles and Baker with a
double and single were the leading
Athletic batters.
The battery work was not as clean
out or spectacular as in preceding
games. In addition to Bush's wild
throw, that closed the contest, Catch
err Schang was charged with an error
for the Athletics. Bush in II innings
famed four and walked an equal num-
Der of Boston bataters. Tyler struck
out four and passed three Mackmen
in 10 innings and James famed one
and walked three in his two periods on
the mound.
Fielding honors were divided by
Baker WITH TWO SuICCSSlhO 1iGPS 49,
throws in the ninth inning and
Schmidt, who in the eighth inning,
got Bushs whistling drive along the
baseline with a one-hand stab ana
while prone on the ground threw the
runner out at first Connolly contrib
uted the Braves only error when he
dropped Collins hoist In the opening
inning.
A record Boston Worlds Series
crowd witnessed the game, $500 per-
sons paying s63,S0S to pass through
the turnstiles into the park. OF this
sum the National Commission TOOK

Had the capacity of Fenway park been
greater these figures would have been
considerably increased. The bleaeher
gates were opend at o'clock and the
long rows of fans, many of whom hao
stood in line all night, filed through
so rapidly that within less than two
hours the gates were closed, with sew
eral thousands still clamoring for adj
mission.
In the reserved sections were many
who had paid spectators FANCY prices
for pasteboards at the last moment, In
order to gain place among the cheer
ing clans which damned every avail
able foot of space not deadlined by
the fire and police authorities.
So great was the crush that sew
eral hundreds fought their way
through the gates who had no coupons
and the stands which surrounded the
field on all sides except back of deep
center were black with the solidly
massed spectators. Outside the park
every high office building and apart
ment house roof carried heavy con-
tingent of fans, many of whom were
so far away that the battling players
must have assumed microscopic pro-
portions. Yet they waved and eheered
each play just as enthusiastically as
the fans in the stands and the boys
perched high up on the cross arms OF
the towering flag pole.
Weather conditions favored both the
PLAYERS and the spectators. The SKY
was partly overcast and while stiff
wind blew out of the west the almost
continuous ring cf stands cut off the
strength of the blast. Both diamond
and outfield were dry from suneaKe
and every slide and rush produced
cloud of dust which rapidly drifted
away, causing the players less annoy
ance than was the case in the games
at Philadelphia.
