The Boston Terriers moved to within one game of the Round 3 today, downing the visiting Chicago Traders at Atlantic Avenue Grounds by a score of 4-3. Terriers left fielder Jim Spencer did some major damage. He was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win gives the Terriers a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

The Terriers took a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. Facing Chicago hurler Joe Shannon with one out, Spencer hit a 2-run home run.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Chicago manager Winston Tinker.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Atlantic Avenue Grounds. The scheduled starters for the game are Eduardo Rodriguez for Chicago and Ben McHargue for Boston.
