BREAKS OF THE GAME.


The second break was in the eighth in
ming. when Boston did manage to tie up
the score. Speaker, who had walked and
gone to second on an out, scored on
Duffy Lewis second hit to left field.
That was the tying run, so Whitted made
great try to get Speaker at the plate.
He made a perfect throw. but Speaker
was there first. In the meantime Lewis
had reached second
This was the eighth inning and another
hit meant the winning run, unless we
Up TO that time we had made only three
hits off Shore, and It looked doubtful IL
we would be able to come through in
two more innings If the Red Sox got over
that second run.

didn't think Paskert had a chance to
get that ball and II not only looked as
II the ball would be hit scoring Lewis,
but think the chances are II would have
bounced into the bleachers and they would
have had us three to one. But Paskert
made a great play on that ball, running

- as many different innings and that in
.ch inning, except the ninth, when the
otber club didn't get a hit, Alexander
mt 80 much on the ball that a poor
catcher would not have been able to catch
him at all.
Take, for instance. the seventh inning,
when Barry was on second base and two
MEN were down. At that time we were
leading, one to nothing, and base hit
meant that the tying run would be scored.
In that delicate situation Alex had to
pitch TO Harry Hooper, one of the most
feared batters in the American League in
the pinches.
"AI,Ex'' WORKS HIS HEAD.
Alexander started by whizzing two
curves over the outside corner that
broke so sharply Hooper didn't even Of
fer at them. Then after he had fouled
one and a ball had been called ALEX"
crossed Hooper and got himself out OF
the hole Hooper was crowding the
Mate a little, looking for a curve and
Intending to take crack at 1t before 1t
had broken IL he could. ALEX" must
have seen Hooper crowd the plate and
sensed what he was looking for.
The result was that "Alex' sent a fast
une I'D there with as much stuff on IT
as any ball ever saw. That ball started
anparently for the inside corner and
when It broke 1t was so far away that
Hooper missed it by a foot. He didn't
hit under or over the ball; he just
couldn't reach it because of the remark
ahla break of the ball.
Alexander also showed how he could
outguess batters and baserunners in the
first inning. / think that one OF the big
breaks of the game came then and there.
.Hooper started off with a hit which shot
past "Alex" and sped over second base
for single. Scott sacrificed, then
Sneaker got base on balls. That made
one down and a runner on second and
third with Hoblitzel up Hobby hit one
10 Bancroft and Speaker was forced out
at second, but Hooper, of course, was on
third by that time.
In this situation Duffy Lewis came TO
the bat Now, If Lewis had got base or
we had booted one then, the game might
have been lost right there. But ALEX"
had his eyes open. Hobby was taking a
big lead off first because he figured that
"Alex" was just going to pitch for Lewis
with two men down. But Alex crossed
him again and caught Hobby fat-footed
on first base and easily tagged him for
the third out

communicated with. If the parents
are willing the girls are permitted to
go on in the life. To me that seemed
hideous.
81 do not believe there is the feel
ing against these girls when they try
to rehabilitate themselves that people
imagine. Not long since a girl who
has lived in house of prostitution
married a good man and is getting
along splendidly..
Undoubtedly the idea of a shelter
home will seem to many of the girls
like a prison, but they must be got
ten out of the life in some way and
the home should be made as little
like prison as-possible. They are
often sent to the House of COrrec-
ton now, as are other criminals.

solutions seems entirely satisfactory,
but at least each one is an attempt to
better conditions"
