The Crisis

The crisis came in the ninth, when Hooper advanced to the plate and faced Rixey, who had relieved Mayer. Rixey was confident of his ability at outguessing the batter and bent two wide breaking curves over the corner of the plate for strikes. and then. thinking evidently that Hooper was expecting a third bender. he whistled his fast ball across the pan. Hooper drove it low over the heads of the infielders and far into center where it struck and bound ed into the crowd. Then be trotted around the paths.
 The smash dispelIed what little con fidence remained to the losers and not a Philly reached first in the last inning.
 Manager Moran of the Phillies sprung a big surprise on the Sox, as well as on the crowd when he an nounced Erskine Mayer of Atlanta, as the finger to make the last stand for the home team. It had been taken for granted that Alexander would be sent ito the slab in the final effort of the National Leaguers and this belieS was strengthened when big Alex began to warm up just before time was called. Mayer also was under way. Moran studied the two pitchers for long time and then patted Mayer on the back The wise ones said that Moran had de- cided to take a chance on winning to- days game so that he would have Alex ander ready tomorrow for possible tieing up of the series. Mayer. how ever. lasted less than three innings The Scx hammered him for two runs and had gathered six hits when he was derricked.
