Thrown back on the defensive by
two defeats on their home grounds,
the Chicago Cubs engaged the Boston

Chicago, Sept 9.-Boston concen-
trated it's energies in the fourth in
ming of Saturdays game of the world s
series and squeezed in two runs, just
enough to annex, 2 to l, the third of
the contests from Chicago Nationals.
The one run margin was in constant
danger, however. and it was not until
Pack, Chicagos second baseman, was
caught at the plate for the third out
in the last half of the ninth inning

E'oston dugout.

like puff balls in a fog, varied with a
fast one with dart and jump like a
