Boston Ties Score
Then came the eighth inning in
which Boston tied the score on hit
ting. Gamer started in by getting a
scratchy hit to the infield. Stock could
not get across the diamond in time to
head off the runner. With a strike and
a bali called, Duffy Lewis opened up
on Rixey with a smash into the center
'feid blcachers for the third home run
Of the game, sending Gamer to the
plate ahead of him and tying the game
in arother knot. Gardner flied out to
Paskert. Barry was quickly returned
to the bench, being thrown out, Ban
croft to Luderus. Cady flied to Pas
kert.
The Philadelphia fans began to make
a great racket as Foster started to
pitch to Bancroft in the Phillies' half
of the eighth. The Philadelphia short
stop. however, was an easy victim for
Foster, going out Scott to Gainor. Pas
kert sent UP high fly to Gainor. Cra-
vath was appealed to win the game
with homer. Foster alternately
pitched them high and low to Gavvy
with the result that Cravath strolled
to first. Dugey was sent in to run for
the heavy-footed outfleider. On the
third pitch Dugey started to steal
second. The ball struck Luderus, but
despite this fact Cady quickly picked
up the ball and made pretty throw
to second, nipping Dugey. The in
fielders believed that Dugay was out
stealing, but Klein explained to the
Red Sock that Dugey was safe at sec
ond. as Luderus had been hit by a
pitched ball and was allowed to take
his base. Whitfield ended the inning by
out, Foster to Gamer.
