BOSTON, Oct. 12.--Long before
the series opened l heard great re-
ports about the wonderful outf,eld
Of the Red Sox, and | am compelled
to admit that these reports have not
been exaggerated.
1t was not the pitching we faced
that beat us yesterday. II was the
wonderful fielding of Duffy Lewis
and the luck Of the game. George
Chalmers pitched a better pail game
than Shore did, even if he was
beaten. 1t required a great deal of
luck for the Red Sox to score in
the third inning, and only the most
remarkable fielding prevented US
getting runs across the plate sew
eral times.
! suppose lots of our friends are
thinking we are out If the series,
but they were never more wrong
in theii lives than they are now If
that is in their minds. We still
expect to win, and no better illus
tration of that fact could be given
than to say that the boys refused
to leave any forwarding addresses
at the hotel, telling the clerk to
hold all mail as they were coming
back On Thursday.
Even at the risk OF being called an
alibi seeker. am going to try and
show that II the series had opened In
Boston instead OF in Philadelphia. we
would have clinched the title OF cham
pions Of the world this afternoon
Sounds foolish. perhaps. but a little
study Of the conditions OF each game
WIN show that ! am right.
The opening game last Friday does
rot figure In this calculation. because

What Chalmers tried to do with the
next ball he alone knows. Anyhow. It
came straight down the groove, and
Lewis smacked 1t soIidly for two bases
and that settled the game almost be-
yond doubt. Against Chalmers. Shore
was pitted, and luck favored him yes
terday, Just as II ran against him on
the first day In Philadelphia He had
more of almost everything than his op-
ponent did. except the knowledge OF
how to use It. He was in the hole to
almost every batter during the frst
four innings. and to numerous others
later. Evidently he was trying to put
too much on every ball he pitched. for
he was pitching himself into and then
out OF trouble all the time.
Most Of the time he needed but little
help, but when he needed It he needed It
badly-And got 1t. His speed seemed
to have the Phils feazed. but not stop
ped He had one narrow escape. due to
wildness. which put two men on bases
and brought up Chalmers with two out
on that occasion Chalmers met fast
ball squarely. and pulled 1t down toward
short on a vicious line. The ball struck
to the right OF Scott, and that young
ster proceeded to make the grandest
play Of the game by leaping sideways
and coming UP clean with the ball. but
facing out toward left field in such po-
sition that he could not recover to
throw either to second or to first but
like a flash hurled the ball to bird.

start on the ball. and ended the inning
Shore never was In trouble again until

he had a two-run lead to work upon he

his mates at every point. was whizzing

Then Cravath hit low fierce liner to
center. Speaker, who had been having
trouble with the sun all afternoon.
started forward as II to try. for the
bound. and stopped. He came too far.
and the bah bounded too high and went
on for a triple. Luderus. who was do
ing most OF the Phils' hitting, crashed
into the next ball and sent the same
kind Of a hit screaming TO center.
That time Speaker took no chances. He

we would have won that on any field.
as the short fences had nothing at all
to do with that victory. On Saturday we
we're beaten 2 to I. In the sixth inning
OF that game. when We scored our only
run on doubles by Cravath and Lu-
derus. the last named hit would have
gone for q home run on Braves field.
Monday Cravsth banged a drive to left
field with two on bases that would have
gone far up in the bleachers on our
IN the beginning instead OF one. Yester-
day afternoon Gavvy drove Lewis to the
fence to get a drive with one on that
would have been a home run In Phila-
dclph!a.
Since we came to Boston we have
got Just one Of the breaks OF the game.
The others all went to the Red Sox.
The one we got came yesterday when
Cravath's hit bounded over Speaker
head for q triple. But In this case
bad rlaving caused the break. az Speak
er played the hit wrong. but in the
breaks that went against us poor play
Ing by us was In no way to blame.
The first break for the Sox in the
game yesterday came in the first inning
Stocks hit over the third base bag
should have heen good for a double. no
matter how wonderful a player was In
left. The ball went over the bag and
then rolled foui. Lewis had to come
far in. and there should have been no
chance In the world for him to throw
to second In time to catch Stock. There
was the break. In rounding frst base.
Stock was compelled to go out Of his
way to avoid Hoblitzel. and lost about
eight feet by doing so. I called Umpire
Rigler's attention to this. but he
couldn't see any interference.
The next break came in the third
inning. when the Red Sox scored their
frst run. Chalmers and Burns say that
Barry was really struck out and should
not have been given a base on balls. but
we'll pass that up. They arc just as
likely to be mistaken as Evans. and
consider him q mighty good umpire.
Then Cady hunted to Chalmers and
The Washington times., 1915-10-13

George slipped and fell in felding the
ball The ball rolled a little distance
away from him. and Luderus ran over
to pick It up Hc'recovered 1t in plenty
OF time to get Cady at first. but no one
was there to take the throw.
! heard lots Of people after the game
blame Niehoff for not covering first. but
they are all wrong. Bert had no busi-
ness to cover. When the ball was hit.
II went In the direction of second base.
II was Niehoff's business to watch for
c could I'D reach The bali. When Ludy ran
over and recovered the ball. II was too
late for Niehoff to reach the bag. Mo-
body was at fault: 1t was simply a
rotten break.
The third break against us came IN
the fourth inning and was caused by
Soft disressrding Manager Carrisan's
orders. Niehoh had reached base on
four balls. and Burns had singled. Car
rigan told his innelders to move farther
over toward third. All obeyed excep.
Scott. Before he could do so. Shore
delivered the ball. and Chalmers shot
. hot sroundnr strai Shit at the spot
from which carr'ssn had told Scott to
move. II his Instructions had been
obcyed. Scott could never have reached
the hsl'. and instead OF the side beins
been scored on the hit.
II is n we'll known fact among base
bnll people that IN a short series be-
tween two clubs evenly matched as
the Red Sox and my club :he breaks
will decide the result. There is n"
doubt that 40 far the Red Sox have
benefited nv practically all the breaks,
at any rate, all that counted.
We believe we will have our share
OF the breaks from now on. The luck
can't stick 10 tho rod Sox always. and
we're banking on different story to-
day. and still believe we arc going to
capture the bic crd OF tho purse.

ANIMAL HAS
TRAVELLED FAR
First Purloined From the Elks' Club
House in Tacoma, Washington, and
Has Since Been Coming East, From
Lodge to Lodge

This is the story of the stuffed elk
that has been on its travels from the
Pacific slope to the various cities and
towns in which there are lodges of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks.
The stuffed animal, a noble specimen
of the Cervus Alces, began its travels
in Tacoma, Washington, when some
eastern Elks, coveting the fine beast in
the lodge room in that city, did, by
divers methods known only to Elks. sur
reptitiously divorce the elk from said
lodge room and ship it East. 1t
FOUND repose in lodge room for a
short time, until delegation of Elks
did by various other devious methods
seize the animal-when nobody was
looking-and sent it farther East.
And so it went. The stuffed elk was
here to-day and gone tomorrow and it
finally landed, after much travel where
by it lost its youthful freshness, in the
lodge of the Reading Elks. 1t was
turned over to a member of the Read
ing lodge, who keeps a hotel at Min
eral Springs, near that city, to restore
its good looks and fix it up. The hotel
man was so pleased with the way he
had restored the youthful appearance
of the elk that he placed it on the
lawn in front of the hotel that all
might see and admire.
Among those who saw and admired
on Saturday was delegation from the
Harrisburg Lodge of Elks, and to see
and admire was to covet, and to covet
was to scheme to get that elk to Har-
risburg.
Two of the Harrisburg Elks entered
the hotel and engaged the proprietor in
converse, thereby distracting his atten-
tion, and the other three abductors re-
