Rogers, The Mercantile Trust company and Kidder, Peabody & Co. He stated a recelver was appointed for the Bay State Gas company of New Jersey at the Instance of Kidder, Peabody & Co.

PITTSBURG IS SHUT OU1 Boston Americans Even Up Initial Defeat in Ubampionship Series. DINEEN DOES SOME EXCELLENT WORK tional Club, but Five Were Permitted Reach First Base. BOSTON, Oct. 2—The Boston Americans evened up their Initial defeat by shutting out Pittsburg 3 to 0 In the second of the series for the world's championship. Dineen pitched one of the best games of his career and Pittsburg could not hit his terrific speed and sharp curves. He gave the outfielders only two chances and the in- flelders a few that were difficult. The Na- tional team got but three hits and only five men reached first base out of the twenty- seven who faced Dineen. Leever started in to pitch for Pittsburg. He was hit freely and Vall replaced him after the first inning. Barring wildness Vall pitched cleverly, although superb sup- port extricated him from several awkwara situations. The batting of Dougherty was the feature of Boston's attack. He drove out a long hit in the first inning, which he converted into a home run by fast sprinting. In the sixth Inning he tied the record of Hickman, now of Cleveland, by driving the ball over the leftfleld fence, an extremely long distance on the Boston grounds. The Bostons' sec- ond run was scored on a double by Stahl y Freeman in the first inning. best opportunity for scoring occurred in the fourth Inning, when a pass a single and a virtual sacrifice put men on second and third with but one out. Wag- ner drove a terrific liner to Ferrls, who held it and completed an unassisted double play. A fast double play, with Ritchey, Wagner and Bransfield participating, deprived Bos- ton in turn of runs in the fifth inning, when they had three men on bases and only one out. In the elghth inning Boston had men on first and third, with one out, and again a double play prevented scoring and closed the inning, Wagner stopping a fast grounder from Collins. In no other Inning did Boston get men past second. Although the weather was threatening a crowd of 9,415 persons saw the game.
