TYLER HERO OF GAME

CHICAGO, ILL.,. September THE
Chicago Nationals put the worlds
series on a ifty-fifty basis yesterday
by defeating the Boston Americans 3
to 1 in a good old-fashioned game OF
base ball.
Tyler, pitching for Chicago. was the
hero of the contest, for he projected
steady stream of bafflers and capped
the climax by shooting a single
over second that scored two runs.
All of Chicago's runs were made In
the second, when Bush, on the bridge
for the Red Sox, could see horoscopes
bobbing up all around his craft. Bos-
tons run came in desperate and
spectacular rally in the ninth. Strunk,
the first man up for the visitors. Sc
lecting a Big Bertha from among
the bats, slammed the ball against
the right field fence. Whiteman
was cheered as he came up.
