smashed over second.
 1t looked like another cleanup, this time for Chicago, but Scott glid- ing with uncanny speed in back of the bag, scooped up the ball with his gloved hand, tossing to Shean for force out to Thomas, while the Arlington boy. making one of his lightning pivots, got O'Farrel at first for a double play, retiring the side and saving Ruth's bacon for the time being.
 Ruth showed his ability to cross up the opposition in Boston's half of the seventh when he come to bat, after Mclnnis had reached first on a clean single to left.
 A Great Retreat.
 Tyler gave the signal for a strate- gic retreat bl all outfielders and then shot one over the plate.
 Ruth was braced for one of his terrific swings, but with great aplomb he switched and dumped dinky lit tie bunt toward third The play near ly stood the infield on their respec- tive heads, but Zeider, untangling first threw out Ruth at first, Stuffy talk ing second on very neat sacrifice.
 The inning passed out however, without further fireworks, which were reserved for the eighth.
 Ruth Gets Wild.
 Ruth farily reeking wildness, walk ed Killifer, the first man up.
 As he tried to steady himself, he grooved one over for Hendrix, who battled for Tyler and the pinch hitter pitcher cracked an ominous single into deep left.
 Killifer took second.
 Babe then unlocsed a wild pitch, putting Killifer on third, Hendrix on second and none out.
 Have ''Heart Talk"
 McInnis walked to the box and talk ed very plain Anglo-Saxon into Ruth's ear and what the irate first baseman forgot to say Dave Shean was on hand to supply.
 Babe was sweating but game.
 He put over good one for Flack who tapped it to Mc1nnis for an un- assisted putout, while the other run ners held their bases.
 McCabe was put in to run for Hendrix as the hard hitting Hollocher came up.
 Hollocher hit sharply to second but was thrown out; Killifer scoring in the melee.
 Leslie Mann then tied up the game with a sharp single to left which scored McCabe.
 Ended The Agony.
 Fred Thomas ended the agony by throwing out Paskert at first on slow bounding roller,
 Boston went into it's half of the eighth full of venom at having to win the game all over again.
 Fer the first time in the series they found a right handler facing them in the box, Douglas replacing Tyler.
 Schang, batting for Agnew, lost no time in demonstrating that the Red Sox were out for blood.
 Pinch Hitter There"
 He soaked single to center and, on a short passed ball, sped to second. Captain Hooper was at bat and he laid down crafty bunt which Doug las heaved wildly in the general dir ection of Merkle.
 By the time the ball was recovered Schang was home with the winning run and Hooper was perched on sec ond.
 Shean, Strunk, and Whiteman made tame ending of the inning. The Swan song of the Cubs in the last inning was a heartbreaker. Ruth had attained even greater wildness.
 Merkle, the first man up, singled after Babe threatened to pass him.
 Sends In Bush.
 Filling up his cup of woe, Ruth then passed Zeider.
 There apparently was no limit to his passes and Manager Barrow, feel ing the humiliation as much as the big pitcher himself, called Babe from the box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush.
 Held For Artillery.
 As Ruth's heavy artillery still might be badly needed, however, he was sent into left field instead of Whiteman.
 It was tough place for Bush, but he refused to be rattled and every ball had zip to it.
 Wortman attempted to bunt. Toss ing the ball to Thomas, he headed off Merkle. Barber, the next man up, hit a line drive.
 It was moving fast, but Scott was on the move too. Kills The Rally. With another of his incomparable one hand scoops, he started one of those lightning double plays, Shean to McInnis, which killed off the game rally of the hard dying Cubs.
 Predictions of capacity crowd were net fulfilled, as there were only 22,000 present. The roofing, however, was fully up
