and Seventh Innings and
Win by 5 to 4.

/ Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
BosroN, June 23.--After spotting the
skidding Yankees TO four run lead this
afternoon the supposedly feeble Red
Sox came from behind In the sixth and
seventh innings of the second game In a
series of five and finally forged ahead
to their second consecutive victory over
the Rupert Huston forces. The score
was to 4, all Of the Red Sox runs be-
ing registered after the fifth inning.
In the first five innings Mays let the
enemy down with only two hits, one OF
which was cancelled by a double play
and seemed to have his game well in
hand. His control was good, his under
slung slants were breaking nicely around
the eremv's hitters knees, and the four
run ! az "ccumulated by the Yanks off
the Southpaw shoots OF Herbert Pen
mock looked plenty big enough to with
stand any belated rush that the Sox
might launch.
But with two out in the sixth inning
and all the bases empty Mays hit Mike
Menosky in the back with pitched ball
and the panic was on. Three runs were
scored before he could retire the side
and In the following round the Sox tied
the score and hammered Blond Carl OH
the hill Bullet Joe Busch succeeded
him on the mound and sustained an un-
deserved defeat in the eighth when
low throw by Deacon Everett Scott gave
the Sox the winning run.
Derrill Pratt played prominent part
in the downfall of the Yanks. He made
costly error in the fourth which gave
the Yanks a run. but later made ample
atonement for this slip by carving out
a couple of timely doubles. He drove
two runs across the plate with his first
two Dagger and subsequently scored
himself and his extra base wallop de-
veloped into three winning runs.
Mays knocked Out OF Box.
