PHILADELPHIA. May 6-Ioe Roeh-
ling, after pitching brilliant ball at
Boston for eight and one-third innings
yesterday. during which the Red SoN
could not score, made wild pitch
in the ninth inning. with third base oc-
cupied. allowing a run, which gave the
Sox a ] to victory
iris Speaker had opened this inning
with three-base hit down the first
base line. Lewis, who had shown Il
fondness for Boehlings delivery all
day. was purposely walked, and then
Gainor was thrown out at first by
Boehlng, which brought Scott up.
Boehlng wild-pitched after getting a
strike OH him, and Speaker raced home
with the only run of the game.
McNally. the Sox's new third baseman,
who was instrumental in beating the
Nationals in the game Tuesday, also
prevented them winning yesterday,
when. in the ninth inning. with Morgan
on second, Rondeau drove a terrific
grounder over third, which, however.
McNally grabbed, and threw Rondea u
out at first. retiring the side. No ball
was ever hit which looked more like
safety when it left the bat than
this drive. but McNally, by a remark
able stop, picked it UP and got his man.
That play beat the Nationals, for had
they gotten run in this inning the
Sox would not have had much of a
chance to tie it up.
Elongated Shore was on the slab for
the home team He was hit harder
than the score would indicate, yet he
is charged with but three hits and no
runs. Six of the Nationals were left
on the bases, and there were only "a
few opportunities when a base hit
would have denied the run column of
the score. In the first inning Moeller
walked, only to be thrown out at sec
ond, when Milan hit to Gainor. For
the next two innings none of the Griff-
men got on the bases, but Gandil drove
a double to the left field fence in the
fourth after two were out; McNally,
however, threw out Morgan.
Moeller Gets a Walk.
Moeller drew his second pass in the
sixth with one down, but neither Milan
nor Foster could get the ball out of the
infield After two had been retired
Rondeau singled in the seventh and
stole second. Henry was hit by
pitched ball. but Mcbride popped up to
Scott, and the opportunity for runs
went glimmering. In the ninth came
the golden opportunity. After two were
down Morgan hit to left for base
and stole second. Rondeau then hit the
ball hard down the third base line, but
McNally's brilliant play put him out,
ending the inning.
Speaker got a hit in the Sox's half
of the first He died stealing. Lewis
opened the second with a triple to
right, but he was left while Boehling
disposed of the next three batters.
shore walked in the third but was never
advanced from first. Lewis singled and
stole with one out in the fourth, but
his teammates, who followed him in
the batting order. were unable to solve
Boehling's delivery. Cady's double came
with one out in the fifth. and again
Boehling proved master of the situa-
ton Not a Red Sox got on In either
the sixth, seventh and eighth, but in
the ninth Speaker opened with triple,
Lewis was walked. and after Gainor
had been retired at first Boehling made
a wild pitch. which gave the RED Sox
the run they needed to win. The score:
