The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-14

ne fhlllles st1ll We're due a turn at bat, but there was not a soul among the more than 10000 crowded in the park who did not know that the series was over, and that the Boston Red Sox had won another championship of the world. four games to one.
 Flustered but still fighting. the standard bearers of the National league went through the formality of com pleting the last inning, but not a man could get to first.
 This last game of the series wac one to stir the blood. It was battle from the jump, with the issue ever in the balance. Twice it seemed Philadel- phia had a winning margin, but twice the Red Sox hammered their way to the front Filing up three runs in the eighth and ninth innings they got the decision 5 to 4
 It was a batting bee In which the Phillies got an early start Their big war clubs were ringing merrily when the Red Sox determined to take A hand In the affray. From that time forward there was a crashing, clouting chorus That sounded sweet symphony in the ears of the fans. For the first time In the series the hum of the homer was heard in the land. The Boston hitters got the range of the short field stands in center and sent three balls hurtlin 9 there for the circuit. Hooper got two of the home run smashes and Lewis an other for Boston.
 The Philadelphia players who had had their batting sights carefully lralned on the stands and close set fencing long before the series began, Saliantly tried to meet the invaders at the home run game Luderus lifted one high over the right field wall in the fourth, but here the heavy firing of the home folks ended and for the last five innings there was never a threat of Philadelphia tallies The short fences of the little Philly park confidently looked forward as a benefit to the home players. proved in the end their undoing. Cravath, home run mon- arch of the National league was ex- pected to break up several games with smashes out of the lot but he got his long hits in Boston, where they were epeared for sensational outs and be- fore the home crowds "Gavvy" could only whiff the air when the fans were frantic for a hit. He had an ideal chance today in the first when the bases were full and nobody out but "Gavvy' hit into double play. His halo was decidedly lop-sided at this time, but when he ignominiously famed twice thereafter it was swept entirely away.
 All through this worlds series the Red Sox have been just good enough to win. They lost their first meeting with Alexander, but thereafter were not to be denied. When the Philadel- phia team fielded brilliantly the Bos- ton players shone with just that great CT degree of radiance which narrowly separates winner from the loser. When the Philadelphia pitching was afrtight, the Boston twirling was just a little tighter. And today when the Hong silent bats of the Phillies be- gan a lifting song of biffs and bin- gles. the Boston bats crashed more strident tones. Never very far above their rivals in any one of the five games. the men of the American league in the last four starts were always just within the shadowy line of success. 1t | was hard series for the Phl1ies to lose, but a brilliant. victory for the Boston Sox.
 Phillies Outclassed
 Supposedly out-elassed from the start with the exception of one star pitcher, the Phillies fought stubbornly and desper- ate.y and were not without plenty Of chances to win each game they lost. The drive, the punch" the ultimate smasl,
