BOSTON, Oct. 11.-Only one game
stands tonight between the Boston
Americans and the base ball cham
pionship of the world. For the third
successive time they defeated the
Philadelphia Nationals today by the
same score that has marked all Of
the Red Sox victories-2 to 1.
Tomorrow the scene of battle
shifts back to Philadelphia. where
Alexander undoubtedly will be called
upon to pitch his third game of the
series in an effort to stem the tide
of Red Sox success.

Sox confident that the championship is
but a step away.
"AIex" Last Hope of PhiIs.
II Alexander should prove winner in
his own ball yard tomorrow, the sixth
game OF the series will be played in
Boston on Thursday. Alexander is the
last hope Of the PhiIlies. He is ready
and anxious to go back in the box to-

count of himself. He won from the Sox
last Friday and was defeated yesterday
only by fierce batting rally in the last
of the ninth. The Phillies themselves
feel that II they can give big Alex" any
sort of offensive support he will put
across a victory tomorrow that at least
will give the National leaguers a fighting
chance in the series

catch drive that on the Philadelphia
grounds would have been a hit into the
stands and good for the circuit. A little
luck In placing these long hits tomor-
row would be all the difference in the
world behind a pitcher of Alexander's
ability and there are many students of
the game tonight who do not share the
confidence of the Red sox that tomor-

Differing widely from the two spark

and Monday. today's contest was de-
