RED sox TAKE
 SATURDAYS GAME, 2 TO


 in the fourth inn t.g of Saturdays game for the worlds seriez and they squeezed in two runs which was just enough to annex, to 1. the third of the contests 1Jm the Chicago Ma tionals. The one run margin was in constant danger. however, and it was not until Pick, the Chicago second baseman, was caught at the plate for the third out in the last half of the ninth inning that victory perched f- naIly on the Boston dugout.
 Chicagos lone tally came in the fifth inning and was largely a fuke but Mitchelrs men never quit trying and in their half of the ninth started desperate rally which might have tied the score and run the game into extra innings had not Pick in a fran tic effort to cross the plate. thrown the chance away by reckless base run ming.
 Vaughn elected to come back in an attempt to retrieve the honorable de- feat administered to him in the first game of the series. He pitched splen- did ball save for the fatal fourth | Hooper, the first man to face the big | Chicago left handler, gave an intima- i tion of what the final result would be | by putting twisting single back of 1 third but nothing came of it in that ! inning.
 Mays, with his so-caIled submarine delivery was the main obstacle in the way of a Cub victory. Mays throws an | old fashioned underhand ball with a wind-up that doubles him in such fashion that the uninitiated might think him hunting for fshworms. He ] had variety of bait for the Chicago | batters-slow ones that floated up to the plate. varied with a fast one with i g dart and jump and the Cub slug l gers hit freely at his offerings. In the fourth Whiteman, veteran of many a hard contest, and who has fig ured in the run getting for Boston in every game of this series got himself in front of C 2 of Vaughn's hooks and l travelled free to first. He tarried a mo- ment on second when McInnis singled and scored when Schang poled one of Vaughn's offerings safely. McInnis ad- vanced to third Scott dumped a bounder in front of the plate and Vaughn fumbled it long enough sc that MCInnis flashed across the plate with the winning run and Scott was safe at first, credited with hit Thomas singled to right and it looked like more trouble for the Cubs, but Flack made one of his characteristic bullet throws and Schang, trying tt score from second, was out at the plate. Mays ended the jubilee by 2
