The man who went hlt'ess through last year's world's" series con nected with one of - Wood's in-shoots and, sent the ball skimming over sec ond for a single and brought" Devore and Doyle pver the plate. 1 Tesreau .was supreme until the sixth inning. Twenty Red Sox players had faced his quick-breaking spitball- be fore the first hit was r made, That was- a long drive for . 3 bases , . by Speaker who came home for the first run for the American Leaguers on an Infield out by Duffy Lewis. ) Tesrau's Finish. . The seventh inning saw the end of Tesreau. Three singles and a double sent 3 Red Sox players home and Manager McGraw was quick to see that the Boston players ; had ' at last solved',!
