Hits Again.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

BOSTON, October 1s.--For tho third
time in a row the Phillies were beaten
, by 2-to-1 score by the Red sox yes
terday. This game. like all the
others. was a most interesting strug-
gle, made SO by the closeness of the
score.
1t was a duel between Ernie Shore
and George Chalmers in which there
was but little to choose between the
two pitchers. Shore did show the bet
ter form during the latter part of the
game, but his wildness in the early
innings, when he also was hit fire.
quentlY, gave Chalmers a shade on
him.
Chalmers was the victim Of some
hard luck, too. In the fourth inning,
for instance, he was scored on on
pass and two scratch hits, while Shore
was lucky to stave off the productive
single in several pinches he found HIM
self in.
Chalmers had an inning later in
which the Sox hit him hard, too, and
scored their second run: but Shore also
had such an inning in the eighth, when
Cravath trfpled and Luderus singled In
rapid succession, giving the Phillies
their only run.
Sox Make an Error.
The fielding on both sides was steady
and effective, but the Sox had a cost
less error. Barry dropping throw
from Cady which should have nailed
Bancroft stealing in the first inning.
There was no misplay charged against
the Phillies, however. The Moran
team played brilliantly. but while 1t
had several opportunities to get runs,
it could not get the hit 1t needed 70
beat Shore. In the first inning. 1or
instance, but for stupid base running it
might have counted. Stock. the first man
to face Shore, hit a grounder directly
over third base. Lewis came in and
made a perfect throw to second, nail
ing Stock, who had tried to stretch the
hit into a double. Bancroft then
walked and reached second Wheh
