 Crowd Smaller Than Monday.
 The crowd which :. witnessed the game unexpectedly proved smaller than yesterdays. record breaking out eclipse those of yesterday, however, was not the fault, of the Boston fans. Between 15,00O and 10000 of them | were turned away at the gates. Many | ticket holders w>re caught in this way | and were unable to make their way | to the gates, which were closed long | before the game started. The scene | outside the park was at times a riot i ous confusion. The crush became so | bad that 1t seemed dangerous to con | cts and it was due to this fact that the attendance for today fell several l hundred short of yesterday.
 The day was made for, baseball, | brilliant October sun having in its rays the warmth of early summer. Overcoats were cast aside and some of the fans sat in shirtsleeves. There was little to thrill the spectators out side the circus catches of Duffy" Lewis so the fans amused themselves largely with music and songs. There were at least half a dozen brass bands in the big enclosure, surrounded by as many bands of organized root CTS. As the home team was always in front, however, there was little to do any real roofing for. So the
 crowds sapg and cheered at intervals and had a very sociable, and enjoya-
 ble party. It was a very satisfactory
 sort of day for the home fans. but
 they did not leave Braves Field with
 the breathless excitement that marx ed the close of yesterdays ninth in-
 ming downfall of the mighty Alexand-
 CT. Neither Chalmers nor Shore shone with any great brilliance in the pitchers box Shores game was not up to the standard he set when he | first faced Alexander last Friday. His i work was good enough to win, how ever, and in the final baseball anaysis l this leaves little to be said.
 Foster May Be carriean's Choice.
 Tomorrow Manager Carrigan un- doubtedly will send George Foster to
 the mound to, oppose Alexander. Eos
 ter ritched a brilliant game in Phil
 adelphia last Saturday, winning it | with lis owr timely hits and he is
 rather ETi, anxious for a fling at the l big Boston left handler, has not yet
 had a chance in the series. however, I and Carrlsan may switch to him if
 the big fellow seems right.
 With Alexander missing in the Phil | lies combination, the strength of the
 Red Sox. was more. apparent than. in | the game of M6nday." Chalmers l pitched steady hall but he was not as ] effective as Moran's mound star His l spithall delivery had sharp break at | all times |. but lacked the speed and | perfect control that made Alexander's ] slants SO hard to hit safely. The
 warm afA~noon undoubtedly helped i Chalmers, but his elaborate windup l caused him to lose the advantage of i cutting the corners of the plate at ! times. Burns had to step about live | ly on several occasions in order to | hold the hall and when the delivery
 was in or near the groove the Ameri- | can League champions appeared to 1 have less difficulty solving Chalmers curves than they did those of AL
 exander and Mayer.
 1 Shores second appearance on the l mound for the Red SoX was not mark
 ed by any great improvement over his
 initial facing of the Phillies on last | Friday. Although he figured tonight | as a winning pitcher it was due more i to the excellent defence at his back
 than to any phenomenal twirling on his part. While he famed two more
 batters than in the opening contest l of the series, he had two more hits l charged against him and allowed the same number of bases on balls. Ths sphere did not respond with the sweep CT break that was no noticeable last
 week and while he frightened up at
 critical moments his pitching was Ices jp1nTaSSiUa than in f1a The lost.
 Red Sox Play Up to Form.
 The defense at ShcSc's back. how

 the Red Sox were still unsteady anC
 the breaks went against them In the
 game today they played as though
 the glamor of the worlds series had
 worn eff and they were in the midst
 of an ordinary scheduled contest. Botf
 the infleld and outfleld moved smooth. ly and swiftly. cutting off high ana low hit balls and when the occasion arose, showing the same keen play during the closing months of the pennant season.
 As an example of this quick think. ing and team play occurred in thu seventh inning when, with ChaImer. !. on first as a result of his Texa. d . CT to Scott at short who scooped tn, ball up and relayed to Barry at sec,
