RED SOX WON'T BE ABLE
TO TRY PHILLIES PARK
Rain Shoves Their Last Game With Yankees Ahead to
Tomorrow When They Had Planned to Practise
on Field of Their Series Foes.

The heavy rains of yesterday inter-
rupied the major league schedules here
in the East. where the draughtsmen Of
csled to string the playing time almost
Il week longer than in the West
The disadvantage Of this dScrimina-
ton between the two sections is pain
fully evident to Bill Carrigan and Pat
Moran. naragers OF the Red Sox ard
clash at Philadelphia Friday In the FIRST
game Of this seasons series for the
championship Of the world
MY team was not at It's best IN
Mondays double header with the
Yankees" said Carrigan yesterday ad-
ternvon. This long drawn out sched-
Tile imposed upon US a rest during most
of last week. We had a double header
in Washington Saturday. bN that ar
forded N, fitting opportunity To tune
up the players collectively or to give
the pitching stan cnuugh practice.
I'VE might have smooned out the
wrinkles easily II the weather had been
iire to-day and to-morrow. for New
York can be counted upon to make
things interesting CROUCH In the three
/ remaining games. But from the present
dismal weather outlook there is no
surety of playing those three games.
MY pitchers iced work and 80 do my
players IN general. Barry Is just back
from protracted layofr. SOFT was
bumped in the eye In early practice

by that time Understand, | am not
trying To estiblisA any preliminary ex-
cuscs. We realize tina; II we suffer the
Philli"s must sufer also. But the
games between now and Friday were
relied upon by both myself and Moran
for tuning up purposes. Personally
shall feel disappointed II | lose the
opportunity u play these three games

Pat Moran was disappointed as
kecnly as was Carr gan to find IL pour

This weather is crossing 0ne two
ways" grumhlcd Pat, Il wished to
send Alexander to the firing line to-day,
That would have put him in just the
proper condition f-r a hard game FRI
day. He may have "A cAance TO pitch
tomorrow. of course but that will mean
only one days rest before the Inaugural
Friday afternoon Ii cargps be denied
that we are counting heavily on Alex
ander and certainly 1t is not good policy
10 permit him 10 tax himself so close
to the beginning OF the battle
1t is just possible that yesterdays rain
proved n greater imposition on the Red
SuN than on the Philles Not only were
Moran's champions fairly busy all OF
last week. but with fair weather they
will be able to conclude the National
League schedule this afternoon. Two
games ralnain with Brooklyn. Permis-
sion was granted to move tomorrow >
game up to this afternoon. A double
I header to-day therefore would fulfil
all schedule obligations and leave the
/ National League champions one full
days rest before the collision with the
Rec Sox.
No such good fortune awaits Carri-
gans men. They must remain in New
York over Thursday to complete their
sci edule obligations here. Permission
had been granted TO move Thursdays
game forward to to-day to provide a
double header Yet they have three
games remaining, whereas Philadelphia
has only two Ban Johnson, president
