 Alexander PhilIies' Only Hope.
 Philadelphia's campaign will again revolve around Alexander, kingpin pitcher of the National league cham pions. The failure of Mayer, who pitched for the Phillies in the game which Boston won on Saturday, has emphasized the fact. admitted by the Philadelphia teams supporters, that 1t is largely in Alexander's pitching skill that the teams hopes for a worlds championship lies. As the Red Sox were successful to an unexpected de- gree in hitting his delivery in Fridays game, followers of the local club were sanguine of the teams prospects in the contest tomorrow.
 Leonard May Oppose Alexander.
 To oppose Alexander, Manager Car rigan is expected to select Dutch" Leonard. a strapping young man who pitches with his left hand. His cum ming, which brought him to the head of all American league pitchers last year, and to high place on the list this season. is expected to overcome the advantage which the Phillies hold

FOSTER WINS HIS OWN
 GAME FROM PHILLIPS
Boston Boxman Drives in Winning Run
 in the Ninth.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The breaks of the game, those fickle favors of fortune that sway the pendulum of fate, smiled upon Boston today. and tonight the red-hosed champions of the American league and the Philadelphia pennant bearers of the National circuit were on their way to Boston with the honors of the 1915 worlds series even-
 President Woodrow Wilson and his ftancee. Mrs. Norman Gait. shared the honors of the second contest with stoutly built young Boston pitcher known to baseball fame as Georgie Foster. Foster may never go down in history as an Alexander, a Walter Johnson or a Christy Mathewson, but when the story of the second battle of the current series is filed away in the archives of the national pastfme it will be found that today he held the fighting Phillies to three base hits, struck out eight of their best wielders of the willow, and made as many hits himSelf as he allowed the entire op- position. including a sizzling smash in the ninth that sent Gardner across the plate with the run that won the game for Boston 2 to l. In addition to these activities in the box, Young Foster | sped to first base couple of times and took throws from his fellow fielders that turned two seeming errors into sensational outs.
