up WORLDS
SERIES BY
WIN FRIDAY
TyIer's Pitching Given Credit
for Success, Although
Rescued by Fine
Fielding.

=
old-fashioned game OF base ball.
Tyler, pitching for Chicago, wa'
the hero OF the contest. tor he pro
;ee,ed a steady stream of baffiers ane
canned the climax by shooting SIN
rle over second that scored two runs
All of Chicago's runs were made IL
the second, when Bush, on tht
bridge for the Red SoN. could sec
periseopes bobbing up all around ms
craft.
Boston's run came in desperate
and spectacular rally in the nintn
Strunk, the first man up for the .visi'
tors, selecting a big Bertha from
among the bats, slammed the ball
against the right field fence, White
man, who aided materially IN
Boston's winning rally yesterday
was eheered as he came up.
His wallop was the mghtiest OF
the series thus far, the ball
smashing into the word buy IN
the war savings sign in center
Strunk trotted home and the Chi
cagoans. who had counted the game
won, halted on their way to the exits.
Tyler. however, steadied and threw
McInnis out at first. Scott was al
lowed to walk and the gigantic Du-
buc came to bat for Thomas. he
fouled off half dozen good ones and
struck out on a wide one. Schang,
who batted for Agnew, popped to
Hollocher and the game was over,
Merkle Scores First.
Mrekle started the scoring for Chi
cago by waiting for four bad ones.
Pick hunted gently toward third and
Thomas ambled gracefully forward
and let it bound past him. This
placed Pick on first and Merkle on
second. while kind-hearted official
scorers awarded Pick hit. Deal
flied out. Killefer was the next
man up.
Earlier in the game Tyler devoted
much attention to getting something
gu. of the catcher's eye and the opera
ton was complete success. Kllefer
got both his good eye and the con-
vaiescent one on the ball and deliv-
cred two-bagger, the first extra base
wallop of the series. Merkle scored
and Pick roasted on third. Surgeon
Tyler rose to the occasion with a
single, scoring Pick and Killefer. but
was himself caught trying to reach
second on the play.
Stop Further Scores.
The Cubs threatened again in tie
sixth, but the cloud did not develop
rain. Hollocher hit down the first
base line and his speed stretched it
into triple, He never got further,
however, for Boston rallied heroical-
IL. The infeld drew in, and Mann
was out, Scott to McInnis, Hollocher
hardly having chance to move off
the third sack. He tried to register
on Paskert's grounder, but SCOTS
sharp throw was ahead of him.
Paskert was safe and Merkle singled,
but miss-fire double steal failed
ignobly and the clouds cleared from
the Boston sky.
Boston Rally Fails.
Boston started the second inning
with the aplomb and confidence of
champions and for a time seemed to
have an excellent chance to score,
but a snappy relay from Pick cut off
the impending tally at the plate.
Whiteman, whose bat was efficacious
yesterday was awarded a pass. Kill
lefer and Whiteman collided over
McInnis' bunt. and both were safe. 1t
was on this occasion that Surgeon
Tyler began work on Killefer's eye.
Both were advanced an additional
base by SCOTS sacrifice and Thomas
came to bat. His best was drive
TO Pick. who threw Whiteman out
at the plate. Agnew closed the rally
with high foul to Flack.
Fighting Blood Up.
The fighting blood of both teams
was up from the beginning, Umpires
were growled and snapped at, the
crowd grew partisan and way down
in the depths of the Boston bomb
proof, Knabe, Chicago coach, and
Wagner, ditto for Boston, got into a
fight. The crowd learned of it when
players and umpires made dive into
the dugout and separated them.
Flacks magnificent throw from
right saved the day for Chicago in the
eighth. Schang. batting for Agnew,
singled too hot for Hollocher. Hooper
singled into far right. Schang passed
second at 10-second gait, but Flack
throwing on 4 line with deadly &C
curacy. caught him feet away from
the base. It,was disheartening out
for Boston.
First Inning.
Boston-Tyler sent up two wide
ones to Hooper. The next was also
ball. Tyler then put over one
strike, but on the fifth pitch sent
Hooper to first. On the hit and run,
Shean famed. He interfered with Kill
lefer's throw and Hildebrand called
Hooper out at second. This gave a
double play, Killefer to Hollocher.
Strunk popped to Deal. No runs, no
hits, no errors.
Chicago-Flack opened with line
single to left. Hollocher forced

to short center and then forced Hol.
