RED SOX WIN CLOSE GAME
Glaze Defeats White, 2-1
Rookie O'Farrell Shines in Debut

BOSTON- Before a fine week-day turnout at the Huntington Avenue Grounds yesterday, Boston hurler Ralph Glaze bested a man who is arguably the league's finest moundsman this season, "Doc" White of Chicago. Glaze held the visitors to a mere three hits and one run, while his teammates pushed two runners plateward in the eighth frame to give him the victory.

Second baseman "Pat" O'Farrell made his first appearance in a big league game, and acquitted himself well. He wasted no time either, ranging behind the bag to snare a grounder by Chicago leadoff batter Patsy Dougherty and snapping a throw to first that barely nabbed the speedy Dougherty.

The young Irishman also played a key role in the Bostons' late rally. Catcher Al Shaw ripped a base hit to left field, and was sacrificed to second by "Moose" Grimshaw. Pitcher Glaze scratched out an infield hit, moving Shaw to third, and O'Farrell followed with a neat single to center, scoring Shaw. Bob Unglaub then brought Glaze across the dish with another hit.

"It's a thrill to even make it to the major leagues, not to mention getting my first hit and driving in a run," the soft-spoken O'Farrell commented after the game. "To get the hit off a fine pitcher like White makes it even more special."

Chicago and Boston play again today at 1:05, with Frank Smith and Jesse Tannehill pitching for their respective squads.
