Pa, Oct. 13.-The Phils made last
trench defense against the near cham
pion Red Sox this afternoon before a
crowd that just comfortably filled the
Philadelphia band box park.
There was none of that mad rush
ing for seats today. An hour before
came time there were still several
Kindred seats unoccupied in the rush
oleachers. The first two games saw
the same seats filed at 10 o'clock. All
OF which proves again that moss
crown wheeze that tickle fandom
would rather cheer winner than pay
loser.
1t looked for time as If there was
70 be no game. The engine which
