BRAVES FIELD. BOSTON. Oct
-Boston's onrushing Red Sox
ciirntr-d to- WITHIN one game OF the
worlds baseball championship this
afternoon by defeating the PhiIlies
In the fourth game OF the series, z
to /. before crowd that packed
the mammoth Braves field.
PHILADELPHIA defeat is now q
three-day old story OF failing TO
hit In the pinches.
In only three Of the nine innings
did Philadelphia fail to get men on
bases. but each time her sluggers
succumbed to the elusive slants OF
young Ernie Shore. who. by his
victory. made up for his defeat In
the opening game OF the series.
Lewis was again the individual
star, accepting six chances without
q bobble and driving in Boston's
second run.
Batting honors for the day were
equally divided between Fred Lu-
derus. the big Philly first sacker.
and Dick Hoblitzei, who operates
around the same bag for the Car.
rigan clan.
Boston's first run came In the
third inning on a combination OF
peculiar hits and circumstances. Az
ter Barry had walked. Cady dump
ed a bunt toward Chalmers, and
George fell down. while trying to
field II. Shore sacrificed them to
second. and third. respectively. and
Harry Hooper got freak single
which scored Barry The ball took
a bad hop as Niehoff was setting
for IL, and bounded clear over his
head. Chalmers then steadied, and
forced Scott to fly to Icwis, Speak
er to pop weakly to Luderus.
Boston's other run came in the
sixth, when. after Speaker had died.
Hoblitzel pushed low liner over
second. Duffy Lewis then hit
terrific double into left field which
carried on line to within a few
feet OF the wall Only remarkably
fast work by George Whitfield kept
the hit down to a double. Hoblitzel
scored standing up.
Philadelphia staged q last ditch
attempt In the eighth and came
near tying the count But again II
was the same old story of failure
to wallop when wallops were need
ed. Two men were down when
Gabby Cravath came up and hit a
low liner to Speaker In center. iris
saw there was no chance to get II
on the fly and set himself for the
hop. II hoped all right. but clear
over fIfs head. and went bounding
away into deep center. while era.

Fred Luderus then got his third hit
