Iris Speaker had the good fortune
to lead Off for the SoN. Twice he

slow infield bounder,
These were not the entire batting
achievements for Iris, however, for

ing single to right which sent
Hooper from first to third on his
way home with the first run of the
game. 1t was Speakers first hit of
the series and his batting average for
the two games stands tonight at lOI.
Although Fosters occupation is
supposed to be that of keeping the
other fellows from hitting, he prom
Uses now to be the batting hero OF
the series, getting today an average
of $50 in four times up. Twice he
got on base but his teammates could
not send him around, Foster evil
IDENTIFY got tired depending on the
other eight athletes wearing the Bos-
ton uniform to help him win, so in
the ninth, with Gardner on second
and the score a tie, he decided to
break mp a perfectly pleasant game
of ball that seriously threatened to
go to extra innings.
He slammed a long single to right
entcr and cantered to second when
paskcrt made a futile efofrt to cut
off the winning run at the plate.

Boston Gets Breaks.
II was a hard-hitting game on both
sides, but the SOX got the breaks
and their drives went safe, The
Philly batters hit ball after ball with
a smashing force hat ordinarily
would land them in the base hit
column Of the box score. But today
the drives went within reach of the
fast Boston outfield and the local
players were turned back to their
bunch.
Mayer justified Moran's confidence
despite the fact hat the game went
AGAINST him. Mayer was cool and
calm at all times. He struck out
seven and allowed but two bases IN
balls, both of them going to Hooper,
Mayer made Duffy" Lewis look fo0l-

he had him breaking his back after

The players were aggressive today
and this had a corresponding effect on
the fans. Umpire Rigler did not please
some of the fans with ONE Of his
decisions, the fans booed a little and
the Philadelphia players kicked a
little, but the game was soon over.
Pose for Pictures.
The fact that President Wilson and
Mrs. Gait were to witness today's
game gave an unusual air of excite
ment to the preliminaTies, A small
army of PHOTOGRAPHERS and movie
men had their batteries trained for al
hour before Mr.. Wilson's party finally
arrived. Mr.. Wilson and his fianCe
graciously consented to pose.
During most of the afternoon the
pitchers had the advantage ver the
batters for the sky was overcast, This
helped Foster in particular for the
Red SoX twirler used a terrific speed
at times. He mixed his delivery W
well and worked the corners cOntin-
ually. Although he faltered for IL
moment in the fifth when Cravath and
LudeTus doubled in succession Foster
regained control quickly and finished
the inning by tanning Burns. These
two doubles and BanCrOft's single in
the sixth were the only hits made by
the Philadelphia batters during the
game and in these two innings they
had two runners on the bags, only
one of whom scored. During the
other sessions the National league
champions went out in one, two, three
order.
Mayer, on the other hand, did not
possess the speed or jump Of Foster
and the battery work between Mayer
and Burns was not as smooth as that
of the opposing pair.
Playing Much Better.
The Judgment Of the infields and
Outficlds in the handling of hard-hit
erounders and fly balls was far SUI
perior to that of yesterday, despite
a strong wind.
Most of the hits that counted i'm
the runmakiug were C~lcan-Cut, we'll
placed drives, which never gave the
fielders a chance.
In this respect the game was far
more interesting than the first con-
test. although there were the Same
number Of hits in each game. A pc
culiar feature of this hitting was that
the three tWO-base drives Came i'm a
row. Foster sent his to left field,
after two were out in the fifth, and
as soon as he went into the box
Cravath slammed one to left, and
Luderus followed with another to CEN
ter.
The Averages Thus Far.
In the two games to date the Bos-
ton players have made IS hits for a
total of three runs, while the Phillies
have accumulated four runs on eight
hits. In individual batting the Red
Sox lead; Lewis, Gardner and Foster
all being tied with three hits apiece.
Hooper, Hoblitzel and Barry come
next with two each. The best hit.
ting among the Phillies has been
done by Bancroft and Luderus with
two each. Among the players whc
have yet to obtain a safe hit are
Stock, Niehoff, Burns and Mayer, all
of whom have played through al
least one game of the series for the
Phillies, while Cady is the sole hit
less player for the Red Sox under
similar conditions.
