RED SOX TRIUMPH
IN THIRD CONTEST
Carl Mays Pitches Team to
Fl Victory Over Cubs in
World Series.
GREAT CROWD AT GAME

CHICAGO, September T.
Boston concentrated its ener-
giles in the fourth inning of to-
days game of the world series
and squeezed in two runs, which
was just enough to annex, 2 to
!, the third of the contests from
the Chicago Nationals. The one
run margin was in constant dan
ger, however, and it was not I'M
til Pick, Chicago second base
man, was caught at the plate for
the third out in the last half of
the ninth inning that victory
perched finally on the Boston
dugout.
Chicago's lone tally came in
the fifth inning and was largely
a f1uke, but Mitchell's men never
quit trying, and in their half of
the ninth started a desperate
rally, which might have tied the
score and run the game into ex-
ira innings had not Pick in a
frantic effort to cross the plate
thrown the chance away by
reckless base running.
Hippo" Vaughn elected to come
back in an attempt to retrieve the
honorable defeat administered to him
in the first game of the series. He
pitched splendid ball save for the
fatal fourth. Hooper. the first man to
free the big Chicago lefthander. gave
an intimation of what the Anal re-
suit would be by pulling twisting
single back Of third. but nothing
came Of 1t in that inning. 49,.

Red Sox when they boarded the train
tonight for Boston to engage the Cubs
in the fourth game Of the series Mon
day.
The small number Of persons making
the trip was in direct contrast to the
world series trips Of former years,
when special trains carried the rival
clubs and hundreds of fans. The war
has eliminated the specials this sea

tached to a regular Michigan Central
train. The Boston players and Harry
Frazee, president Of the club. and his
party occupied two cars. the Chicago
club one, the newspaper writer's an
other and members of the national
base ball commission and their friends
The players occupied both upper and
lower berths and no more space was
reserved than was absolutely neces-
sary in order to comply with govern
ment orders restricting travel. The
train is scheduled to arrive in Boston
