NEW YORK WINS 2-0

GIANTS GRAB TWO RUN LEAD IN 4TH—RUSSELL OPPOSES SALLEE. Forty thousand fans taxed the Polo Ground stadium to capacity this Wednesday afternoon to see the third clash of the Sox and Giants for the world’s title. Cool and threatening weather failed to keep the crowd away. Rowland chose Russell for slab duty and McGraw sent back Harry Sallee to check the Hose. Rowland’s guess was a poor one and at press time the portsider was being bumped hard. Williams was in the bull pen wanning up to relieve the Texan. Reports of the game to press time follow: IST INNlNG—Chicago collected one blow in their half, but were retired quickly. Russell had things his own way when New York went to bat. 2ND INNING—The Sox were retired in order. New York threatened with two hits. Weaver’s boot put Russell in danger, but he emerged unscathed. 3RD INNING—SaIIee was nicked for one hit by Chicago, but the Sox failed to score. New York was easy in their half. 4TH INNING—The Sox were helpless before Sallee. Russell weakened and the New Yorkers started a rally with basehits, which netted them two runs. 51H INNlNG—Neither side threatened in the fifth. 6TH INNING—SaIIee seemed to be getting better and the Sox were having difficulty in planting the ball in unprotected spots. No reports on New York half. The score of the game by innings follows: 12345678 9—R H E Chicgo 00000000 o—o 5 1 N. Y. 0 0 0 2 00 0 0 x—2 8 2 Batteries: Chicago, Russell and Schalk.
