By the Assoclated Press. OSTON, April 25.—A bit of clever base running provided the Red Sox with the deciding run in the tenth inning today as they downed the Yankees, 5 to 4, in the final game of their series. ‘With the bases full, Pinch-hitter Mar- quardt hit a weak roller to Chapman. Ruel, who had been purposely walked, started for second, then turned back with Chapman chasing him. Chapman finally tossed to first to catch Mar- quardt, but in the general confusion Pickering had raced home from third with the winning score.

Capital fans will watch his work with keen interest during the series here. Herrmann Was a Big Shot. THE death yesterday in Cincin- nat{ of Garry Herrmann marked the passing within a month of the second of two figures who for many years were all powerful in the conduct of organized base ball, the first having been Ban Johnson, who died March 27 after a long {liness. President of the Cincinnati club of the National League for more than two decades until four years ago, when his health first began to all, Herrmann, as chairman of the National Commission, with Johnson practically dictated the conduct of the game over a stretch of 16 years. It was Herrmann why was largely responsible for the peace agreement entered into by the National League wlth the American League, which was organized by Johnson, back in 1903, when the National Commis- sion was formed to govern the game.

Clark Griffith, a close, nal friend of Herrmann, for whom he worked as manager of the Reds for three years just before coming to ‘Washington in 1912, was grieved to learn of his death. “Garry was a loyal friend, generous to a fault, and an able executive,” the Wash- ington club lent commented. “He did much to bring about the peace under which the game prospered.

GARRY HERRMANN DIES, 71, PENNILESS Ex-Owner of Cincinnati Reds Once Was Boss of Base Ball Commission. By the Associated Press. INCINNATI, Ohio, April 25. —August “Garry” Herr- mann, the father of the world series and formerly one of the great powers in base ball, died unexpectedly today at his home. He was 71 years old. Death was caused by infirmities and complication of diseases. Herrmann, the Kenesaw Mountain Landis of his day, was chairman and ruler of the old National Base Ball Commission for 15 years, president of interleague diplomat. He was a politician, financier, mem- ber of the International Typogra) Unfon, former grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, a high Mason and one-time prcll- dent of the National Bewunfi Funeral services will be held 'memy afternoon at the Elks' Temple, built largely through Herrmann's financial leadership. The body will lie in state on that day from 11 am. to 1 pm. Burial will be in Vine Street Cemetery.

McDiarmid and led a secluded life until death. In appreciation of his long service, Mc- Diarmid and the cluba stockholders voted Herrman a $25,000 bonus and a $10,000 annuity. Later Sidney Weil bought control of the club and like- wise continued Herrmann's $10,000 an- nual pension. Last January executives of both | major leagues voted him a $500 monthly | pension. Despite the pension benefits, Herr- mann’s health was undermined to such an extent his last year of life that his friends sald they believed he was penni- less and applied for and meelved an $8 a week allowance from the International Fypographical Union.
