Il
L Boston came back into it's
own here yesterday afternoon
and, in a game vastly different
from the disappointing one of
Thursday, outhit, outhclded and
outgeneraled the National League
team and won by a two to one
score.
1t was a great victory for the
American League champions and
the listless and shiftlesS game of
the Red Sox in the opening battle
for the great classic has already
been forgiven and forgotten. The
tale Of the mediocre playing Of
the first day has been wiped off
the slate and today Boston is pro-
claiming Bill Carrigan, George
Foster, Duffy Lewis and the
others OF the Hub City diamond
stars as favorite sons. This has
came about through the wonder
',ul reversal of form displayed by
the Red Sox in the second game
of the series. With George Fos-
ter pitching as he pitched int the
strenuous days of the pennant
race, the team showed itself a
great baseball combination and
handily turned the tables on the
Philadelphia Nationals, making
the count one game each in the
championship struggle.
1t was a battle royal between
the stars in the Philadelphia line
up and those of Boston, and when
George Foster singled sharply tc
centerheld in the ninth inning and
sent Larry Gardner over the plate
with the run that eventually wor
the game, even Philadelphia's sup,
porters cheered for the Victors.
Commands Situation
The big right handler, in whom
Boston placed its trust, pitched
after the fashion that has made hin
the most feared of all American Leagu,
bOxmen. The mighty machine of Phil
adelphia, with Its hard hitting Luderus
Cactus Cravuth, George PaskeTt' anC
Frank Bancroft, was at his mercy, and
to cap the climax, it was his drive tina
brought victory to Boston and mad
the series so far an even proposition.
For the Phllies, Erskine Mayer pitch
ed a brilliant game, but at critical mo
ments wavered and the Red Sox tool
advantage Of these Irregularities. Be
hind Mayer the Phillies fought ever,
inch of the way and his support wa
without damaging flaw, but the Bos
ton stars were too strong for the BIZ
man from GeOrgia. $751;.
A greater crowd than on the opening
day witnessed the contest, the ofiicia
figures showing 2O,3O6 paid admission
and a total gate receipts of $4,000.

Philadelphia s supporters were out il

noise producing instruments including
full brass band. Boston too was nOisil'
represented with flaming red and whit
ImegapnOnrs, pennants and also q full
brass band.
