Hippo Vaughan Essays Comeback" But Red Sox Bunch Hits in Festive Fourth and Shove Over Two Runs-Cubs Threaten to Score in Ninth, But
 Picks Nervousness Nips Prospective Rally

Chicago, September 7-Boston concen- trated it's energies in the fourth inning of todays game of the worlds series and squeezed in two runs, which was just enough to annex by the score of to l the third of the contests from the Chi cage Nationals. The one run margin was in constant danger, however, and it was not until Pick. Chicagos second baseman, was caught at the plate for the third out in the last half of the ninth inning that the Red Sox were certain of 2 to 1 lead in the series.
 Chicago's lone tally came in the fifth inning and was largely a fluke, but Mitchell's men never quit trying, and in their half of the ninth started a desper- ate rally which might have tied the score and run the game into extra in- nings had not Pick, in frantic effort to cross the plate, thrown away the chance by reckless base running.
 HIPPO" TRIES COMEBACK
 Hippo Vaughn elected to come back fin an attempt to retrieve the honorable defeat administered to him in the first game of the series. He pitched splendid ball save for the fatal four. Hooper, the first man to face the big Chicago left handler, gave an intimation of what the final result would be by putting a twist ing single back of third, but nothing came of it in that inning.
 Mays, with his so-called submarine de- livery, was the main obstacle in the way of a Cub victory. Mays throws an old fashioned underhand ball, with windup which doubles him in such fashion that the uninitiated might think him hunting for fish worms. He had a variety of bait for the Chicago batters-slow ones that floated up to the plate like puff balls in a fog, varied with fast one with a dart and jump like a patent bass bait and the Cub sluggers bit freely at all he offered.
 THE RALLY
 Tn the fatal or festive fourth accord ing to which team the fan prefers, White man, veteran of many a hard contest, and who has figured in the run getting for Boston in every game of this series, got himself in front of one of Vaughn's hooks and travelled free to first. He .arried a moment on second when Mo Innis singled and scored when Schang poled one of Vaughan's offerings safely, McInnis advancing to third. Scott dumped a bounder in front of the plate and Vaughn fumbled it long enough so that McInnis flashed across the plate with the winning run and Scott was safe at first, credited with hit. Thomas sin syled to right and it looked like more trouble for the Cubs, but F'lack made one of his characteristic bullet throws and Schang trying to score from second, was out at the plate. Mays ended the Jubilee by fly to center.
 Pick was the player to profit by the fluke in the Chicago half of the fifth. His gentle tap went toward Scott with frolicsome bounds like pup seeking it's master but at the crucial moment it decided to bite Scott on the leg and went rolling out into the out field for double. Deal flied out, but Killifer delivered an honest hit to left and Pick scored.
 The highly partisan crowd, it's in- terest at last aroused, stood up to man and yelled for winning rally when Chicago came to bat in the ninth and almost got what they asked for. Paskert and Merkle expired inglorious- 1y on infield plays, but Pick slammed q grounder to Shean and beat the throw by a hair. Manager Mitchell, still fighting, sent in Barber to bat for Deal. The pinch hitter was in a nerve-racking place. Everyone was on him.
 PICK PULLS BONE
 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 only a few yards away, but Pick, arising from his slide and with out looking around, dashed for the plate. Thomas recovered the pellet and his throw caught Pick off the plate. The game was over and Pinch hitter Barber's great opportunity was snatched from him.
 The largest crowd of the season. 27.- 054 paid admissions, turned out, but at that there were vacant seats. Few of those occupied were vacated until the last man was out, however.
 Clouds menaced at times. a few drops of rain fell and locomotives in nearby yards sent smoke screen over the field.>~. At other times the sun shone bright.
 Whiteman, who has starred at bat, on the paths. and in the field in this series, cut off what seemed a sure run for Chicago in the fourth inning.
 WATERMAN STARS
 With one out, Mann hit and reached second. Paskert lifted the sphere clear to the left field fence It looked like . triple at least, but Whiteman
