 with any great brilliancy in the pitch CTS box. Shores game was not up
 to the standard he set when he first faced Alexander last Friday. His work
 was good enough to win, however, and
 in baseball analysis this leaves little to be said.
 Foster Today
 | Tomorrow Carrigan undoubtedly will send George Foster to the mound to
 oppose Alexander. Foster pitched a
 brilliant game last Saturday, winning l with his own timely hitting and he is
 anxious for a fling at the Philadelphia
 star. Babe" Ruth, the big Boston left
 handler, has not yet had chance. how
 ever, and Carrigan may switch to him. With Alexander missing from the Phillies combination the strength of the Red SoX was more apparent than in the game of Monday. Chalmers pitched steady ball but he was not as | effective as Morans mound star His spitball delivery had a sharp break
 but lacked the speed and perfect con trol that made Alexanerds slants so hard to hit
 The warm afternoon undoubtedly 1 helped Chalmers but his elaborate wind-up caused him to lose the ad-
 vantage of cutting the corners of the plate at times. Burns had to step about lively on several occasions to hold the ball and when the delivery was in or T near the groove the American league
 champions appeared to have less diff
 ficulty solving Chalmers curves than
 they did those of Alexander and l Mayer
 I Shores second appearance for the Red Sox was not marked by any great
 improvement over his initial facing of the Phillies last Friday. Although he figured tonight as winning pitcher, il
 was due more to the excellent defense
 at his back than to any phenomena
 twirling. While he famed two more
 batters than the opening contest of the series he had two more hits
 charged against him and allowed thu
 same number of bases on balls. Tht sphere did not respond with the sweeI
 or break that was so noticeable las
 week and while he frightened up a critical moments his pitching was les' impressive than in the game he lost.
 The defense at Shores back, how ] ever, was of a far higher character
 than in the opening struggle. Todd. the Sox played as if the glamor O
 the worlds series had worn orr anf they were in the midst or an ordinar. sch he6nled contest. Both the inield ant 5 outfeld moved smoothly and swiftly showing the same keen playing ludg ment that marked their work during ? the closing months of the pennant sea son
 Hobby" on the Job
 An example of this quick thinking am team play occurred in the seventh in ming when with Chalmers on first as { result of his Texas leaguer, Stock smash ed d hard bounder to Scott at short : who scooped the ball up and relaye' \ it to Barry al second for q force out Barry then made a quick throw to Hob | litzel to catch the batter, but the bal slipped through Hoblitzell and rolled | the grandstand boxes hitting the con crete wall and reboundng to the coach CTS box. Manager Moran. who Wa coaching back of first base. sent Stoc down to second on the play. but Hoblit zell sprinted after the ball and by quick throw to Barry. who was waitin tat second. caught Stock five feet in iron | of the sack
 In marked contrast to this clever turn | ing of what appeared, to be bad si | into fast double play was one mao by the losing team in the third innin in which the Red Sox scored their frs nun of the game With Barry on firsl
