low pitch which Mayer started from
his knee and which came on the in
side fooled the left handed hitters of
the Red Sox a good deal However,
as the latter won the game, made ten
hits and enough timely ones to drive
in sufficient number OF runs II was
shown that the tradition that they
can't hit wide pitching has its linli-
tations.
The Phiihes hit Foster hardest in
/ the mid game stage. Theirs was a
skinny output OF hits at the best and
confined TO the fifth and sixth In
nings Yet about that time Foster
had the aid OF fast support in hold
Ing the Quakers 70 single run
The playing was of more natural
gait than yesterday. 1t was not over
careful as in the first grapple was
without the constraint. The players
opened out more. went at II more as
they do in an ordinary game. The
Red Sox sheIved the sacrifice as a fac
tor for intermediate advance and took
up the run and hit. They tried steal
ing bit. too. and one play involving
work OF that sort helped them get
their first run. They had more
versatile, resourceful attack than the
Phillies. who were SO clamped down by
Foster that they had no chance 10
work up their offensive,
Mayer Passes F1rst Man.
Mayer did what no pitcher likes to
do pa ss4d the hrst man who faced him.
He-had- 1hree-new hatts to pitch In
this inning. She first one. which was
very wide, was appropriated by Rigler,
who ran over 10 the President with IL

Mayer was unsteady and passed Hoop
er: Scott tried bunt and popped to
Luderus.
There were two strikes on Speaker
when Burns dropped foul tip. That
proved 10 be bad business. With the
life thus gained, Tristan regripped hts
trusty hickory and made base hit
to right. Hooper. who was moving
with the pitch, went 10 third, Then
the double steal was tried not exactly
a double steal either. but similar
play 1t was this way: Speaker went
down and Burns threw Siehoff made
a splendid pickup and tagged Speaker
out Hooper didn't break for the plate
with the throw. but did tear it when
he saw Niehoff reaching for Speaker,
Niehon's return throw came In a trihe

Burns reached up the line for Hooper.
but the lstter's beautiful slide snaked
him to the plate in safety. Hobby
singled. but died stealing.
In the Quaker half of the first the
only approach to a productive prod
was srounder from Paskerts bat,
which hoped through HoblitzeHs legs.

Paskert Foster took the throw and
deftly snatched Barry's toss from the
air
Mayer White Couple.
Gardner made a single in the second
inning. but on each side Of him WAS
a strike out and Thomas slammed flu
riousiy to Mayer. The pitcher was
doubled up by the collision, but picked
the ball out of his pancreatic region
and threw Thomas out. Mayer struck
out Foster. Hooper and Scott In the
third: Foster struck out Cravath and
Luderus In the second and Niehon and
Mayer in the third Twas time fes-
tooned with tanning. Cravath nearly
swung his head OF. Luderus asitated
the air just as viciously.
The ball was hit in the fourth. but
the only safe hit was a grounder by
Lewis or which Niehoff made a pretty
stop. Philly fans began TO root in
the fourth, with Stock leading on In
response, catching the spirit OF the
rooters. the Phillies began to land
more Clearly on the ball. Stock

stopped spicy grasser from Ban

WAS food for Hoopers NAV.
They thumped Mayer in the fifth. but

back of third and arched a throw of
the same ornate sore over the campus
to Luderus. Then Stock dashed to his

the war club of Thomas. Foster drove
to the right field wall for two bases
This was the first hit for one extra
base of the series. Hooper was passed
purposely and Scott, as expected, was
a victim. He flied to Whitfield.

turned on the roofing Hood again. The
noise increased with every pitch and
all hands were in full cry when Gabby

awaited chance. Luderus fouled one,
