RED SOx WIN WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP

a. slow roller to McInnis for a sacri- fee, Fiack having ample time to reach second. D Mays, putting on an extra head of steam, shot in a fast, low one on the inside corner. but the ball was too far inside and hit Mann in the leg | with a terrific thump. The husky outfelder dropped as if shot and rolled | over in agony, but after receiving a | great deal of rubbing and leg pulling | he gathered himself up and lmped | down to first base.
 Here Boston exhibited some of it's fancy sharpshooting around the bases which has played an important part in the series. Skang, watching Mann take few halting steps of first. shot the ball down to McInnis and the Cub, to his intense indignation, was put out.
 Mays then gave one of his two pass es of the game, Paskert stroliing to first. Ffack, taking advantage of the diversion, made a clean steal of third. Fred Merkle then rose to the occa sion by smashing single to left on which Flack scored. Paskert stopped on second within easy scoring distance, and it looked as if the game would surely be t%d up when Pick sent hard low line drive to short right ] field. It was the same kind of hit hat Flack had fumbled off Whiteman. Harry Hooper king of right felders, rushed in at top speed, reached out at full length and the ball stuck fast. | Chicago's last chance had come and gone.
 In Boston's half of the fourth it seemed as if they intended to make I it a massacre when they filled the 1 bases. But the Cubs refused to go up in. the air and the Red Sox were retired without a run. With Scott and Mays on third and first respec-
 lively, through inield hits, and Schang on second through a pass and i the inability of Deal to diagnose l quickly Mays bunt. and with only one
 out, it looked like a big bear feast Merkle, however, stepped into the
 breach by sharp handling of Hooper's
 grounder, forcing Scott at the plate.
 Siean's sizzling drive down the third
 base line. He managed to stop the
 ball with one hand. finally recovered it off his balance in time to touch
 third and force out Mays. It was
 cool-headed, tight defense and
 brought big cheer from the crowd. In game that was full Of dazzling
 stops and throws, a catch by Wiite-
 man in the eighth. when Mana ger
 Mitchell was rushing in his artillery
 reserves, was easily the feature of the
 contest and probably of the series.
 Barber, batting in place of Deal,
 hit one of those hard, low line drives
 which had already spelled Cub dise
 aster. This time the ball went to left !, field, falling rapidly. Whiternan. be- } fore the series hardly known to base
 ball fame, rushed in, with the bal ] dropping faster and faster, grabbed
 the sphere below his ankles and took a clean somersault. the great 11omen- } tum rolling him upon his feet again
 He staggered dizzily,, but with great elation slammed the ball to Scott ant / the ball went flying around the in | field as an expression of the joy ot l the Sox in such a remarkable catch 2 It was the same kind of spectacular play that Joe Jackson made in tht S world series for the Chicago Ameri s cans last year. Whiteman waved of r the anxious inquiries of his mates a
