AMERICAN EAG AGAIN WINS HNORS RED S0x COP FINAL TILT OF &

Flack having ample time to reach sec ond.
 Mann, got on, hit by a pitched ball, Flack taking second.
 Schang, watching Mann take d few halting steps off first, shot the ball down to McInnis and the Cub was put out.
 Mays then gave one of his two passes of the game, Paskert strolling to first.
 Flack stole third.
 Fred Merkle then smashed a sim gle to left on which lFack scored. Paskert stopped on second within easy scoring distance and it looked as if the game would surely be tied when Pick sent a hard low line drive to short right field.
 Cubs Chance Gone.
 Harry Hooper rushed in at top the ball stuck fast.
 Chicago's last chance had come and gone.
 In Boston's half of the fohrth it seemed as if they intended to make it a massacre when they filled the bases.
 But the Cubs refused to go up in the air, and the Rod Sox were retired without run.
 With Scott and Mays on third and first, respectively, through infield hits Schang on second through a pass and the inability of Deal to diagnose quickly Mays bunt and with only one out it looked like a big bear feast.
 Merkle, however stepped into the breach by sharp handling of Hooper's grounder, forcing Scott at the plate. Shean's sizzling drive down the third base line.
 He managed to stop the ball with one hand and recovered his balance in time to touch third and force out Mays.
 The play brought big cheer from the crowd.
 Full Dazzling Plays.
 In a game that was full of dazzling stops and throws catch by White man in the eighth was easily the fea- ture of the contest and probably of the series.
 Barber, batting in place of Deal, hit one of those hard, low line drives which had already spelled Cub disas- ter.
 This time the ball went to left field, falling rapidly.
 Whiteman, before the series hard ly known to baseball fans, rushed in, with the ball dropping faster and fas- ter, grabbed the sphere below his an- kles and took clean somersalt, the great momentum rolling him up on his feet again.
 He staggered dizzily, but with great elation, slammed the ball to Scott.
 Was Badly Shaken.
 Whiteman waved off the anxious inquiries of his mates as to whether he had been hurt and took up his posi- tion, but he was obviously badly shak- en up and after O'Farrell hal flied out to Scott, manager Barrow sent in Babe Routh at left field.
 The game was held up for two min utes while the crowd gave Whiteman the greatest ovation of the series.
 Scott next clipped in with his daily feature by spectacular catch of McCabe's fly.
 Used His s'Spitter."
 With Hendrix pitching spitballs in Boston's half of the eighth, the Red Sox, unaccustomed to right handed twirling in this series went out, one, two three. Chicago's last chance for glory came in the ninth. Keeping the ball continually low Mays forced Flack to foul to Thomas Then Hollocher gave Babe Ruth an opportunity to play his part. Babe Ruth stepped under the Cub short stops high fly gathered it in with g graceful bow that marked his exit. The climax was we'll done. Mann slammed hot one to Dave Shean who scooped it up, and hurled the ball to John "Stuffy" McInnis, flo, the final putout.
