Larry (inrdnor wns slammed full In
tho fnco by ii Imt grounder of Chief
Meyers's propuhlon, but he too stuck
to hln post. In the tenth inning
Speaker let go with n thrust of audi
oloclty that the lull went to the cent
field boundary. It flow back to Hecker,
who relayed It to Bhafrr. Speaker tried
for i home run nud reaehed the aonl

all over when he sot up. declaring that
Herzog had tried to block him nt third

the Inning wna over atnrted out toward
Herzog. Larry Doyle met him half way
and acted an peacemaker. Tho Incident
caused no little commotion, but wan
the only sign of III feeling, though both
teams were In deudly eurneit all the
time.
There was a ground rule that n ball
hit Into the temporary left Held stand
should count na n two bagger only. As
it turned nut thai ground rulo favored
the Hostons because the Giants put
more nils into the stand than they did.
Any of these hits with a clear field
would have been good for three bases.
flnodgrass opened the grapple with a
nil or two base voltage. It cleared
Lewis's head and bounced Into the seats.
Nevertheless Snodgrass was left. Somn
New York partisan Implored Doyle to
give ine nan n ride." but Lurry struck
out on a high fast ball, flecker was
tnrown out by Yerkes anil Murray by
Collins, who made n clever stop of a
smartly rapped ball. The Hostons opened
the throttle In their half of the first
and, while tho Giants were wabbly,
reaped n harvest of three runs. Hooper
shot a grounder which slid off Matty's
hand and Matty couldn't get hold of the
globe. In time to nip the speedy Hooper.
Hooper stole second. Meyers making a
wide throw. He started for third on a
hit nnd run play, and Yerkes winged a
liner to Fletcher. The latter had a dou
ble play made to order, but dropped the
ball and dldn t get It to first In time to
get even one man.
Hooper was able to get back to sec
ond and both he and Yerkes advanced
when Speaker hunted. There was a
had misunderstanding on this bunt.
Herzog expected Matty to throw the ball
to him for a force, but Matty expected
Herzog to try for It. Neither tried for
It and while they were gazing fatuously
at each other Speaker dusted to first.
With three on bases and nobody out
.Matty made Lewis hit n tepid roller to
Herzog, who threw out Hooper at the
plate. Matty tried to clutch Gardner's
chop hit. but couldn't. Doyle lucked
up and nailed Gardner at firm. Yerkes
scoring. .Stahl pounded a beauty be
tween third nnd short and cleared two
more runs. The rally was stifled when
Doyle gathered Wagner's fly.
Merkle's strike out waa the tamo be
ginning of New York's second. Merklo
died on three pitched bulls, swinging
like a windmill at the first two. Herzog,
breathing defiance, strode to the platter,
ana nn me nrst one that suited him.
miik. dnu me Dun was racing past
Hooper. It was superbly relayed to
inira by Hooper nnd Speaker, hut Ifer
eoar waa the Incarnation tt speed and
reached the base with a tumbling slide.
He came In when Meyers's single struck
Gardner In the face. Fletcher lined to
Hooper and Meyers was forced by Math
ewson. The Ited Sox were harmless in
the second, save that Hooper doubled to
right with two out and waa marooned
When Fletcher seized Yerkes's skimmer.
New York's third was brief. Hooper
camped under Snodgrass's fly, Doyle
rocketed a foul to Gardner and Hecker
was thrown out by the nimble Wagner.
Nor did a llnstonlan get on In the third,
but the sole re.ij.on therefor waa u
scrumptuous play by Merkle. Hpeuker
nearly broke the hall In two he hit It so
hard. Merkle leaped up. his hand Inter
posed, and the ball fell at his feet. He
and Speaker had It hot foot for the bag,
both sliding, and Merklo winning by nn
eyelash.
In the fourth Inning the New Yorks
lopped another point off Hon ion's lead.
The way of It waa tills: Murray, whose
bludgeon was full of base hits, ripped
a three bagger to right centre. He had
to put on full ateani to reach third, for
Hooper made a tremendous throw from
the outskirts. Merklo pined away on a
foul to Gardner, but Herzog, the re
liable, filed to Speaker and Murray tal
lied on the catch. Meyera whanged a
hit through Wagner, but Fletcher's fly
to Hooper left him, '
Matty was doing fine In the third and
fourth Innings and blanked the Hostons
one. two, three in the fourth. He struck
out Stahl with a fadeawny and Fletcher
handled Carrlgan's smash neutly, Math
ewson and Snodgrass both struck out
in the fifth and Doyle sent a parabolic
fly to Lewis.
. Hooper struck out on a fadeuw.iv In
the fifth, being completely fooled by the
lazy floater. Hut Matty wasn't to es
cape this round without a lacing. The
sun came out and Snodgrass nnd Mur
ray swapped fields, Murray first halted
the game to get his sun glasses, but
McGraw thought a better plan was for
him to go over to left. No sooner were
the two fielders adjusted to their now
quartet than Hooper spun a single to
centre. He flared forth for a steal.

ers. Hut Herzog was up nrxt and he
was the boy for deeds. He too hit Into
the seats .nnd Hecker and Murray piled
headlong to the plate. Meyers's hard
grounder to YVngner ended the Inning,
but the Giants were n run ahead. With
Yerkes und Speaker facing him In the
eighth Miithewson got along swim
mingly. Yerkex tiled to Murray,
Speaker chipped a puny one to Mathew
son. Lewis, however, wiu different.
Deeply repentant for his muff In left he
yearned to atone. It was his fly ball
Into the seats that led to the ground
and lofty tumbling act by Murray. Then
came another cat-e of a batted ball being

Murray's throw In to head off Lcwla
was a thing of beauty and a joy for
eer. It was mighty close at the plate,
as Meyers swung for Lewis, who slid
all over the lot. but O'Louglilln gave
Lewis t.'ife. It looked no If Meyers had
him.
A scratch hit by Stahl made more
trouble In the Inning. When Stahl stole

of catching Oardner asleep. It was a
high throw, but Herzog went up n.i if
from a springboard ami saved tho Chief
from nn error and prevented a run.
Some actor, this Herzog chap to-dav.
Matty got his fadeaway to work and
disposed of Wagner. Too bad he didn't
get It to work a few momenta sooner.
Hull had speed like n Mash of light In
the ninth, but a remarkable play was
all that deprived Fletcher nf a hit.
Wagner took the ball with one hand
nnd tiling hlch to Stnhl. Stahl, with a
tremendous stretch, took the throw with
one hand. Mathevvson filed to Stnhl,
but then Hall couldn't control bis speed
and passed SnodgrahH, who slole second.
Doyle was passed purposely, Hecker
worked Hull for four balls, but with

was grounder to Yerkes for a force.

The Giants, one after another, walked
up to the plate and clouted the ball all
over the lot.
When tho (Jlants had been letlred

Tho Hoston Klks, headed by a red coated

partisans whu admired him for his pluck
and remembered his great record on the
diamond,
Mntty began so unsteadily that after
tho Hed Sox had scored their three runs
In the Hist Inning New York fans began
to lose heart. They wero sure that Matty
"had nothing." Ills speed appeared to lis
lacking, also his fadeaway, but as the
veteran warmed to his work In the next
three Innings confidence lu him was le
stored. Hut all throijgh the game tho Tied
Sox hit him fiercely. a
Speaker's triple In tho tenth Inning wns
attributed to the fact that Matty grooved
one for the big butsmau. This hit, by the
way, almost Involvid the teams In a fight
on the field. In fart tho rival players to
night discussed nothing else, there being
considerable 111 feeling for the first time
In tho series. Speaker maintains that as
he rounded third base Herzog purposely
gave him "the shoulder." It was a plain
caso of Interference, nccordlng to the Ited
Sox, and helped to make tho decision nt
the plate, so close that some of the Giants

Collins struck Merkle nut on three

was called, It being a sweeping curve that

shoulder.
When Meyeis hammered a stashing

eye, in this Inning, the crowd stopped Its
bellowing. Oardner Is a big favorite and

Hoston, Oct. 9. Sometimes clghtean
highly talented nthletes will toll through
nine Innings of baseball In a skilful and
workmanlike manner without producing
enough, excitement to agitate tho taxi
cab drivers outside the park.
Then again the same professors of
ballistics and swntology will tear off a
duy'H work that contains half a llfoUma
of hope, triumph, fear, relief, despair,
surprise, romance, frenzied onthuslum,
palpitating fear, nervous dyspepsia, he
roic effort, spectacular blundering and
unfettered hysteria- It Is such baseball
games as these latter that are putting
the nerve specialists of thla country Into
limousine automobiles at a fearful rate
and are giving the poor ttred buslneu
man the kind of recreation that brings
htm to a sanitarium with a tangled ner
vous system and needing bronchial ra
lining. To-dny'n world's scries game between
New York nnd Hoston, with the rest, of
the country on the sidelines, was this
sort of n parnlyzlng pastime: It sliced
whole years off the latter end of thou-
sands of Huston lives. Not that Hoston
will feel thn loss now. but there will
come a time when those of her citizens
who blew out n flue during to-day's do
ings will fade nway Just before some
Important census. And then she will
wish, even more madly than she now'
