STRENGTH OF RED SOX IS
DAILY MORE APPARENT.
GREAT OFFENSIVE TEAM

Boston, Oct. 12.-With Alexander
missing from the Phillies' combination
the strength of the Red Sox was more
apparent than in the game Monday.
, Chalmers pitched steady ball, but he
was not as effective as Moran's mound
star His spit ball delivery had sharp
break at all times, but lacked the
speed and perfect control that made
Alexander's slants SO hard to hit
safely. Burns had to step about lively
on several occasions in order to hold
the ball.
Shores second appearance on the
mound for the Red Sox was not mark
ed by any great improvement over his
| initial facing of the Phillies last Fri
day. While he famed two more bat
| tiers than in the opening contest of
the series. he had two more hits
charged against him and allowed the
same number of bases on balls.
The defense at Shores back, how
ever. was of a far higher character
! than in the opening struggle, when the
Red Sox were still unsteady. In the
game today they played as though the
elanlor of the world series had worn
OIL anu tIltS were III Inc VI dli
ordinary scheduled contest. Both the
infield and outfield moved smoothly
and swiftly.
The ability to think and handle the
ball quickly was demonstrated on sew
eral other occasions by the Red Sox
and was the deciding factor in the VIC
tory, although the winners by their
hard and timely batting, backed up
the defensive work with an attack
which has been notably lacking in the
play of the Philadelphia club in the
series to date. Hoblitzell came in for
great round of applause, for the Sox
first baseman found his batting eye
early in the game and accumulated
three hits and scored one of the two
runs of the day for the victors. Cady
was the only other member Of the
team to secure more than one hit. Lew
is added another to his string and still
leads the club with seven hits in IA
times at bat, giving him a batting av-
erage of 500. Barry is second with five
hits in Is times at bat. while Speaker
and Hooper are tied. for third place
with four hits each.
Among the National League players.
Luderus, as the result of his three safe
drives today, is in the lead with a to-
tai of five hits in IA trips to the plate.
Bancroft still holds second place with
three hits, although he did not increase
his total today. Cravath, Burns and
stock are all grouped with two hits each.
The Red Sox as team have made seven
runs and 80 hits, and the Phillies six runs
ami IS hits in the four games of the Sc
ries.

and particularly on the big green
drafters. The demand locally was fair
and the country dealers bought in
larger numbers thar during any time
Of the past five weeks. Although the
trade seems to be picking up little. it
is still far from being the good vigor-
GUS trade for which the dealers are
hoping. and have had in other years.
While the urgent demand for horses

tinues. the western horse market will be
strong. thus making consighments ship
ped for this market too high in value to
leave much margin of profit to the ship
pers. Again the trade is curtailed this
season by the very dull operations Of
many business concerns where horses are
used, and, which, now are doing little or
no business. There is also lack Of de-
mand caused by many firms replacing
horse teams with auto trucks. However,
should general business start up. there
would be quick enough demand for
good class horses.
The bigger part of the demand comes
drafters and wagon horses and in all
kinds of delivery and general purpose
horses of all types. Driving horses are
offered at the weekly sales, but the de-
mand is meagre unless they are fancy
roadsters.
During the week the best heavy draft
ers sold at a range of 1925 to $500 for
horses weighing from 1850 to 1900 pounds;
medium weight, frst-class drafters. from
$3.50 to $325; heavy wagon and express
horses, from $3.50 to $3.50; farm chunks.
from $15o to $500; seconds, from $50 up to

William Hurwitz reported a good trade
at his Portland street stables. Two car
loads Of green horses were offered and
large number of seconds. Three carloads
of mixed green and acclimated horses
were shipped to Maine and Vermont. and
the bulk Of the rest Of the trading was
local.
During the week three steamers from
Boston carried remounts for the British
army. The Cambrian sailing on Oct. ..
carried sos remounts. She was destined
for London, but, stopped OH at Avon

On the 9Th the Cambrian, destined for
