nothing but a fine defence held the score
OF the winners down to three tables.

second session. when all OF her tallles
went across the plate. During this in
ming the Boston heidsrs were In deep

With the exception of this eventful
inning every session of the contest
showed nothing but a goose egg, with
the exception Of the Sox side of the
ninth.
In that final chapter Strunk banged
out a triple and a moment later White
man duplicated the feat. This made
things look pretty bright for the Sox fol-
brief period, but they were soon
eclipsed and the second game of tht
series was over with the Cubs on top.

to be larger than that Of the FIRST con-
test.
