T II IS GIVES AMERICAN
LEAGUE TEAM TWO GAMES
TO CHICAGO'S ONE.
MAYS WAS IN FINE FORM
Pick, Cubs Second Baseban, Was
Caught at Plate for Third Out IN
Last Half of Ninth-Receipts For
Three Games Total Sl00,463.

Chicago, Sept. T.-BoSton concen-
trated its energies i'll the fourth M
ming OF today'S game for the world 5
series and squeezed in two runs
which was Just enough to annex the
2 to /, the third OF the contests, from
the Chicago Nationals. The one
run margin was in constant danger,
however, and it was not until Pick,
Chicago second baSeman, was
caught at the plate for the third out
in the last hall OF the ninth inning,
that victory perched finally on the
! Boston dugout.
Gate receipts Tor the three games
totaed $l00,465.
Chicago's lone tally came in the
fifth inning, and was largely a luke,
but Mitchell's men never quit try
ing, 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 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
hin. in the first game Of the series.
He pitched splendid ball, save for
the fatal fourth. Hooper. the first
man to face the big Chicago lett
handler, gave an intimation OF what
the final result would be by pull
ing a twisting single back OF third
base, but nothing came OF II in that
inning.
Mays Was Main Obstacle.
MAYS, with his so-called submar-
inc or U-boat, however, was the
main obstacle in the way OF Cub
victory
Mays throws an old fashion un-
derhand ball with windup which
doubles him in, which a position
the uninitiated might think him
hunting for fish worms. lie had
u variety OF bait for the Chicago
batters--sow ones that tloated up
to the plate like puff balls, varied
with fat one with dart and Jump
like patent bait and the Cubs hit
freely at all he offered.
In the fatal or festive fourth, ac-
cording to which team the tan pre-
fers. Whiteman, veteran OF many
a hard contest and who has figured
in the run getting for Boston in ev-
erv game OF this series, got himself
in front OF one of Vaughn : hooks
and travelled free to first. lie tar
ried 4 moment on second when Nc
lnnis singled, and scored when
Schang poled one OF Naughn's OF
ferings safely, Mclnnis advancing
to third.
Scott dumped a bounder in front
OF the plate and Vaughn tumbIed
it long enough so that Mclnnis
flashed across the plate with the
winning run and Scott was safe at
first, credited with hit.
Flack Hurls Bullet.
Thomas singled to right and 1t
looked like more trouble Tor the
Cubs, but Flack made one OF his
characteristic bullet throws and
lSchang. trying to score from sec
ond. was out at the plate. Mays
ended the jubilee by fly to CEN
ter.
Pick was the player OF profit hJ
the fluke in the Chicago half OF
the fifth. His gentle tap went to-
ward Scott, with frolicsome bounds
like a pup seeking its master, but
at the crucial moment 1t decided to
bite Scott on the leg and went roll
ing out into the oulield for "a dou-
BILE. Deal flied out, but killifer de
livered an honest hit to lett and
Pick scored. /
The highly partisan crowd yelled
for winning rally when Chicago |
came to bat in the ninth, and almost
got what they asked for. Paskert
and Merkle expired ingloriously in
on field plays, but Pick slammed 4
grounder at Shean and beat the
throw by hair. Manager Mitchell
sent in Barber to bat Tor Deal.
Pick Went Wild.
Pick stole second and went to /
third on a passed ball. Schang threw
to catch him and Thomas at third
for Boston, fumbled the throw. The
ball rolled but 4 few seconds, but
Pick arising from his slide and with
