men begin to support their pitchers with
base hits they may win few ball
games. They failed yesterday in Boston
because Ernie Shore paralyzed their
every effort. Three hits scat

the real tale of how the Red sox
won that getaway battle. to 0. Sure
Boehling wild pitched Speaker across
with the lone run of the game. but
that made little difference; without
that tally, some 1000 fans would have
seen a pitchers battle end with no
score because a team wanted to get
an early train instead of late one
equally good for all purposes. AS 1t
was. the home boys grabbed both
games from the hitless Griffmen.
