The Red Sox tied the Phillies in
the world series today by winning
a most interesting game by a
score of to 1. The Boston VIC
tory was largely due to the SPLEEN
did work of George Foster, who
not only pitched good ball and
fielded his position especially well,
but also made three hits, one OF
which drove the winning run over
the plate in the ninth inning after
two were out. Today the breaks
favored the Red Sox in that any
number of hard-hit balls and
many liners were hit right at the
waiting helders by the Phillies,
who hit the ball much harder than
the score would indicate. Morans
crew is credited with but three
hits, but with any sort Of break
they would at least have tied the
score if they had not won. Their
only error, a muffed thrown ball
at the plate, gave the Red Sox the
run which eventually brought
them victory, for they never
scored thereafter until the ninth.
The bad breaks followed the Phil
lies right down to the retirement
of Paskert, the last man out in the
ninth. He hit a terrific long drive
to right center field, what seemed
to be the tying blow, for it did not
appear possible for Speaker, who
went after the ball, to head it OFF
and prevent it from falling into
the seats. But Speaker went as
far back as the fence would allow,
braced himself against it and
caught the ball, preventing the
score from being tied. Early in
this inning Stock, the first man
up, sent line drive along the left
field foul line, and this time Lewis
cut across and pulled it down.

Foster has his outfield to thank for
his victo-y. But for their remarkable
work the Pnillies would have scored
erougi, runs to win easily. Foster
also pitched good ball in spots, though
he seemed to weaken in the fourth and
fifth, when he was hit hard and scored
on. He got out of the fourth inning
all right. though the three men who
faced him met the ball squarely and
for a double to left and Luderus
brought him home with double to
right center. Wnitted's out placed him
on third and then Niehoff drove liner

Mayer pitched a better game than
the score would show. He was hit
safely ten times. but several of the

Foster got a single which broke up the

materially in preventing Foster from
losing his game.
