For fourteen innings the Brooklyn
attack. led by Hi Myers. stormed and
hammered Brooklyn's impregnable de-
fence in a vain effort TO cut way
through TO the promised land.
But for fourteen innings this Boston
defence formed long, wide wall of
steel and stone back of Babe Ruth, and
against this wall Brooklyn rebounded
20 her second defeat.
The score was TO 1, Boston FREEDOM
mating, and the winning tally arrived
ssfel yinto port when McNally, an in
truder running for Hobby, scored on
safe left field smash by Del Gamer, an
interloper batting for Gardner, with
one out, in the fourteenth frame.
When the dope upon this second
game has been dissected fully you will
ind the story of Brooklyn's defeat
written in the amazing brilliancy OF
Boston's defence. We stated above
that this defence was. wall of steel
and stone. But it was something more.
II was a wall Of human flesh that
shifted and swerved TO meet every
point of Brooklyn's blind but game,
aggressive attack.
