out a full length and the ball stuck fast Chicagos last chance had come and gone.
 In Bostons half of the fourth 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 Red SoX retired without run. With Scott and Mays on third and first, respectively, through infield hits, and Schang on second through a pass and the inability of Deal to diagnose quickly Mays bunt and with only one out, it looked like big bear feast. Merkle stepped into the breach by sharp handling of Hooper's grounder forcing Scott at the plate. Deal then made hrd play off Sheans sizzling drive down the third base line. He managed to stop the ball with one hand and recovered his bal ance in time to touch third and force out Mays.
 Whiteman's Catch Feature
 A catch by Whiteman in the eighth when Manager Mitchell was rushing in his artillery reserves was easily the feature of the contest and probably of the series.

Whiteman. before the series hardly known to baseball fame, rushed in, grabbed the sphere below his ankles and took a clean somersault, the great momentum rolling him upon his feet again. He staggered dizzily, but With II, .1, and the ball went flying around the infield as an expression of the joy of the Red Sox in such a remarkable catch.
 Regular Joe Jackson Play.
 It was the same kind of spectacular play that Joe Jackson made in the worlds series for the Chicago Ameri- cans last year. Whiteman waved off the anxious inquiries of his mates as to whether he had been hurt and took up his position, but he was obviously badly shaken up and when O'Farrell had flied out to Scott. Manager Bar row sent in Babe Ruth at left field The game was held up for two minutes while the crowd gave Whiteman the greatest ovation of the series Scott next clipped in with his daily feature by a spectacular catch of McCabe' $ foul fly
 With Hendrix pitching spit balls ir Boston's half of the eighth the Red SoX, unaccustomed to right handed twirling in this series, went out one two, three.
