PHILLIES WIN
Sco.sanusd Prom, Yirs, P.ga,

during the game the first Red Sox
batter to face big Alex tore OF a
screaming single. only 10 remain
stranded somewhere between first and
third.
Alexander felt the strain that the
confidence OF the National League ad-
herents had placed upon him. and dur
ing the first three innings of the game
was plainly nervous. In two of these
innings serious trouble threatened
him. Shore gave the Phillies' star a
fight from the time play was called
until the last man was out.
Paskert Saved Game.
Four or FIVE times the game hung IN
the balance. With the score a tie in
the first half OF the eighth. and with
Lewis on second base. Gardner, OF the
Red SoX. smashed into one of Alexan-
der's fast breaking out-curves for a
drive which seemed far out of reach
of any of the Philadelphia outfeld
But "Dode" Paskert started after IL
from center field. and made a spectac-
Ular catch while running at full speed.
The play brought the big crowd TO its
feet and undoubtedly saved the game
for the National League contestants.
This play and the wonderful stop by
Barry back of second base, which hyp-
Noticed young Scott into a lapse of I'M
consciousness that paved the way for
the two winning tallies. were the field
ing features of the game.
That the game was regarded largely
as a freak episode in world series base
ball IS shown tonight by the fact that
the supporters OF the defeated Red
Sox have heightened the betting odds
they are willing 20 give on that team
for the remainder of the series.
For three innings today the hOnors
OF the game were all with the tall
young Boston twirler who had been
sent in TO oppose Alexander. In the
last half of the fourth. however, IL was
Shore himself who gave the Phillies
an opportunity to score their first
run. This run was typical of the
three which went the way OF the To-
Gals. Paskert dropped Texas
Lacquer back OF first base. just out OF
reach OF IioblitZell. Cravath was sent
in TO sacrifice. and sent a fast bunt
directly at Shore. The latter picked
the ball up clearly and had plenty OF
time TO throw Paskert out at second.
