Braves Field. Boston, Oct. 1.-The third game of the 1915 worlds series was fought out here this afterho oon over the wonderful diamond and the wide green reaches of the largest and most beautiful baseball park in the world.
 It was a fine setting for the great battle that was to decide whether the Boston Red Sox or the desperately fighing Phillies should have the jump by taking the odd contest. The change from the tight little Phil1y park in the City of Brotherly Love. to this wonder field was most striking. It seemed that the entire Philadelphia plant could be placed within the foul lines here and there still would be space left to keep .Gavvyf' Cravath's home runs in the lo1.
 a cloud in the sky. An Indian sum- mer sun by noon had driven away the chill in the early morning air. The waters of the historic Charles river, running beyond the park, ripp1ed in a lazy autumn breeze Never were con ditions more ideal for 8 contest be- tween the titled athletes of the two big baseball leagues and an outpour- ing of expectant baseball fans early gave promise of a record breaking throng.
 Always one of the most enthusias-4 tic baseball towns in the country, Bos- ton was in deIirium of joy today over the prospect of game that was expected to be a. turning point in the great series that began in iPhiladeI- ph4ae last Friday and was interrupted there on Saturday evening with hon. OTIS even.
 No little of the anticipatory excite rnent today was due to the fact that Grover Cleveland Alexander was to make his second start and attempt to hurl the slugg1ng Red Sox back for another defeat
 The whole fafthMof the PhiI1ieso was wrapped up in Alex today. and they confidently expected that last Fridays indifferent game had really just serv- ed to put Alex on edge for today and that he would prove far more effective for having had the experi- ence of facing the red-hosed warriors from Boston
 A mighty cheer greeted the Boston players when they appeared on the field shortly after o'clock and their batting practice began Manager Car rigan s11t one of his numerous left handlers vean Gregg, to the hurling hill to give his men some practice at batting the offerings of a port-sider, in the event that Manager Moran of the Philadelphia team should unex- pected1y call his erradc 1eft-hand ringer. Eppa Rixey, to the pitching slab.
 Hardly had the Philadelphia club come on. the field than Manager Mo rsu began to warm up Rixey to see how his curves were breaking.
 's'If Rixey can get that quick curve breaking right said Manager Moran. 'she.n have the Red Sox throwing g away their bats. Anyhow, it looks ike Alexander, as my pitching se1ec- lion today"
 Manager Moran was confident his club would have to face "DutcF'' Leonard, the star southpaw qf the Red Sox
 The crowd began to arrive in large numbers at 1:30. At that time a13 the bleacher seats were filled with scores ea9er to gain admission.
 The batteries: Leonard and Carri- gan for Boston; Alexander and Burns for Philadelphia
 O'Ioughhn gave decisions on balls and strikes; KIem gave decision on bases; Rigler went to left field and Evans to right field.
