markabe Exhibitions in the History Of Tie Diamond

Braves Field, Boston, Oct. o.
Boston Red Sox took the second game
OF the worlds series from the Brook
lyn Dodgers here this afternoon in
the longest and one OF the most SEN
sational struggles OF the Historic title
tilt.
For IA innings the team battled
tooth and nail. In the stands more
than 41,000 men and women alter
nately sat breathless, expecting to see
the winning run go over any minute,
or cheered themselves hoarse as some
wonderful play nipped a rally. Brook
lyn's only run was scored by Hy
Myers on a terrific circuit smash In
the first inning.
For Boston another long distance
smash for their first run came when
Scott cracked triple to left in the
third inning. Cutshaw then made a
costly bobble and Scott came In on
Ruth's infeld out. 1t was growing
dusk when the issue finally was
settled after two hours and 40 min
utes Of incessant and bitter lighting.
Hoblitzel went down to first on q
base on balls. his fourth OF the after
noon. Lewis sacrificed him to second
and Boss Carrigan then showed rare
strategy-at least It was successful
by sending Gainor to pinch-hit fol
Gardner. while the feet-footed Nc.
Nally went in to run for Hoblitzel.
The count was one and one on
Gainor and the crowd sat breathless,
waiting for the turn.
Sherrod Smith. who had pitched
peerless ball throughout the after
noon. sent one Of his fast ones cut
ting the plate. Gainor was set for It.
He swung his heavy ash to It. There
was a crash. The ball sped over o.
sens head. Wheat came tearing in
and It seemed that he might reach
II. But 1t was a safe hit. McNally
was tearing around third. The
crowd. yelling like mad. jumped to
Its feet. Wheat recovered the ball
and made a mighty heave toward the
plate. Miller threw aside his mask
and, arms outstretched. awaited the
ball as Mentally bore down on him.
The Red Sox runner left his feet. slid
over the pan, and an instant after the
ball settled In Miller's mitt.

spirit Of the Dodgers and they turned
