Chicago, Sept. Boston concen-
| trated its energies in the fourth m
| ming of todays game of the world
series and squeezed in two runs which
were just enough to annex 2 to the
third of the contests from the Chica-
10 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 half of the
ninth inning that victory perched fin
ally in the Boston dugout.
Chicago's lone tally came in the fifth
inning and was largely a fluke but
MitchelFs men never quit trying and in
their half of the ninth started a des-
perate rally which might have tied
the score and run the game into eX-
ira innings had not Pick in a frantic
effort to cross the plate thrown the
chance away by reckless base run

pitched splendid ball save for the
fatal fourth Hooper the first man 10
face the big Chicago left hander gave
an intimation of what the final re-
suit would be by pulling a twisting
single back of third but nothing came
of it in that inning.
