greatly improved and the playing field
was in excellent shape.

started an investigation to determine
the sources of the tickets which have

victory yesterday to Alexander, al
though it was freely admitted by tho
victors as we'll as their followers that
the breaks played big part in the
result. alexander won his game
said Carrigan. Give him full credit,
and don't let anyone take it away
from him. He pitched a sr'>ndid
game, but so did Shore. l am s.. siied
with my team. They did the best they
could against grand pitching. We are
going to try harder to-day"
Pat Moran, manager of the Phillies,
as usual. had little comment, but de-
clared that his team looks better now
than ever before. Breaks count a lot
in baseball" he said, "and we got the
breaks yesterday. We played the game
just like we have played our games all
season and we will try and force the
breaks to come our way in every game.
We look better now than ever before
and with the first game on ice we have
very good chance to win the world :
