As he tried to steady himself, he grooved one over for Hendrix. who bat ted for Tyler, and the pinch-hitting pitcher cracked an ominous single into deep left. Killefer took second. Babe then loosed a wild pitch, putting Kil lefer on third, Hendrix on second and none out. Mclnnis walked to the box and talked very plain Anglo-Saxon into Ruth's ear, and what the irate first baseman forgot to say Dave Shean was on hand to supply. Hollocher Bats la Rom. Babe was sweating, but game. He put over a good one for Flack, who tapped It to Mclnnis for an unassisted putout. while the other runners held their bases. McCabe was put in to ran for Hendrix as the hard-hitting Hoi locher came up. Hollocher hit sharply to second, but was thrown out, K.me fer scoring In the melee.

That there will be unlimited rivalry be' There apparently was no limit to his tween the various, squadrons goes BOSTON, Sept's. The Boston Amer icans got the big edge In the world's series by beating the Chicago Nation als In a mad scramble for the fourth same today by a score of 3 to 2. This gives the Red Sox a lead of 3 to In the series and it is necessary now for them to win only one more game to make them the war-time baseball champions of the world. Both teams departed from letter perfect baseball for the first time since their meeting and the explosions which resulted kept the fans in a furore of old-time big series enthusiasm. Babe Ruth, Boston's big southpaw and slugger-extraordinary, led the first bombarding party, which apparently wrecked the Cub machine for good and all, but was hoisted by his own petard in the eighth and ninth innlnrs. The game was broken wide open by Boston in the fourth. Tyler got him self into a hole by passing Shean, the first man up. Strunk smashed the ball hard to center, but Paskert raced under It for a neat out. Shean. taking ad vantage of Tyler's leisurely windup, dashed for second and made It standing up. while Killlfer let the ball get through him for a short passed ball. Rata Breaks Tp Game. It was a clean steal for Shean never theless, and the crowd rooted for a run. With Whtteman up, Tyler wob " bled again and issued another pass. The stands were fairly rocking when Stuffy Mclnnis strode to the plate, but the best the Gloucester boy could do was to force Shean at third. Then along came Ruth. Two runs were on the bases. Red Sox rooters feared Tyler would not take a chance with that big black bat. for the first three pitches were wide cf the plate. The next one curved over for a strike. Owens called the next one strike two while the burly Babe scratched around the box in disgust. Then he dug himself In at the plate and with the count three and two. waited to see if Tyler dared to send one over. Tyler dared, Ruth swung into the ball savagely, and the gleam ing sphere soared in a steadily up ward sweeping climb for the right center field. It was a hard drive to Judge, and Flack ran in for a step and then started back in a wild chase. Two Rum Come Home. Before the ball slammed into the out field barrier Whiteman and Mclnnis had scampered home and Ruth was heading for third like a big tank run wild. He beat the throw in easily and enjoyed a quiet grin on third while the National League leaders tried to read Just themselves to the same chaotic conditions Ruth's shock bat has created Jn the American League all season. Everyone rooted for Scott to bring the big fellow home, but the shortstop lifted a high one to Paskert. For three innings Ruth's personally conducted mopping-up party had the Cubs demoralized. But in the seventh Manager Mitchell, detecting signs of wildness In the husky southpaw, began rushing in his reserves. With Paskert out of the way, Scott to Mclnnis, Ruth walked Merkle. Then, with Zeider up in place of Pick, he lost all liaison with the plate, putting two men on bases. FORTY WOODED SOLDIERS SEE GAME AT BOSTON. BOSTON. Sept. 9. Forty wound ed American soldiers who came back from France last Saturday enjoyed today's world's series game from grandstand seats. The soldiers stormed hospital physi cians for permission to see the game, and the Boston Chapter of the Red Cross furnished ambu lances to transport them to the field. 0Farrel was Injected Into the game here, and the first ball Ruth sent within range of the plate was smashed over second. It looked like another clean up, this time for Chicago, but Scott, gliding with uncanny sped behind the bag, scooped up the ball with his gloved hand, tossing to Shean for a force out of Zeider. while the Arlington boy. making one of his lighting pivots, got O'Farrel at first for a double play, " retiring the side and saving Ruth bacon for the time being. Rath Craws Cab Infield. Ruth showed his ability to .cross up the opposition In Boston's haff of the seventh when he came to bat after Mclnnis had reached first on a clean single to left. Tyler gave the signal for a strategic retreat by all outfielders and then shot one over the plate. Ruth was braced for one of his terrific swings, but with great aplomb, he switched and dumped a dinky little bunt toward third. The play nearly stood the Infield on their respective heads, but Zeider. untangling himself, threw out Ruth at first. Stuffy taking second on a very neat sacrifice. The Inning passed, however, without fur ther fireworks, which were reserved for the eighth frame. " .11 to. f&irlx recti ns jrUb, wll&nei, passes and Manager Barrow, reeling the humiliation as much as the big pitcher himself, called Babe from the box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush. As Ruth's heavy artillery might still be badly needed, however.. he was not ex iled, but was sent to left field in place of Whiteman. It was a tough place for Bush, but he refused to be rattled and every ball had a sip to it. Mclnnis conducted a one-man patrol of No Man's Land in the vicinity of he pitchers' box and called the turn magnificently on Wort- mans attempted bunt Tossing the ball to Thomas, he beaded off Merkle. Barber, the next man up, hit a line drive. It was moving fast, but Scott was on the move, too. With another of his incomparable one-hand scoops he started one of those lightning double plays, Shehan to Mclnnis. which killed off the game rally of the hard-dying Cubs. Game Played In Cold Wind. The weather for the opening game In the East was inauspicious in the morn ing, but in the afternoon it cleared off. although a cold north wind gave a touch ot October atmosphere to the game. ' Predictions of a capacity crowd were not fulfilled, as there were only 22,000 present. The rooting, however, was fully up to the world series standard and the applause was very sportsmanly divided among all contestants.

Great Team in Prospect. But the Vancouver Barracks eleven which Lieutenant Samuel Halstead, rthletlc officer, is lining up for the coming season gives promise of rival lng the best service teams on the Pa ciflc Coast and will contain an array of moleskin gladiators that have at tained fame in their college days, in eluding an all-American halfback who beat the famous Oliphant, West Pointer, out of the Job for first-team selection. The football call will be sent out this week at Vancouver and Lieutenant Halstead expects at least 75 men out for practice. He will weed out the culls and about 40 of the most likely looking aspirants will report for train ing table. Uniforms will be issued and the squads will be hard at work by the first of next week.

Chewing; Over Question Whether Legislation Will Continue Its Wallop Apres la Guerre. This world war Is going to turn things upside down pugilistically. Tak ing a slant at boxing as it Is today would give the impression that a tor pedo had hit the sport amidships and completely wrecked it. A country at war needs husky young athletes of the type of which boxers are made. For that reason the enlist ment of many members meant prac tically the finish of the game from a commercial standpoint, at least In the big cities where boxers fought for a living. Today, the stars of the game. a large number of them champions, are doing their bit.. Hundreds are in France and hundreds are on the way. With boxing made a part of the training in every camp, a lot of boxers, when the Hun is licked, will turn to the professionals a livelihood, and the question whether legislation will be as severe against the sport after the war as it has .been in many of the states in the past is one real boxing fans are now chewing over. Anyway, It seems nearly a cinch that it will be rejuve nated on a plane higher than ever be fore. . Thousands of sailors and soldiers who never had a boxing glove on be fore they entered the service are now boxing daily and can't be stopped. They are taking to the sport like ducks take to the aqua and the result Is cer tain to be the development of great ring men, the kind of fighters who are capable of holding championships.
