nally cut Stock down at second. When
Barry gave Bancroft life on a steal. the
breaks were even up.
ALL RooTERs HAPPY.
The Philadelphia and Boston followers
were alternately joyful and sorrowful in
the second half of the first inning. The
big sprinkling of Quaker City fans
cheered long and loud as Chalmers
famed Hooper and Scott but when
Speaker was passed the Red Sox crowd,
with Royal Rooters foremost, burst
forth: but their inning was short lived
as Speaker perished stealing.
BY the time the second inning began
| the management had permitted a few
hundred more fans in the aisles and
runways. The big new armory to the
east of Braves Field had several thou
sand free spectators ranged along it's roof
and skylight. The top of the wall in
centre field was dotted with fans who
paid their so cents to straddle this un-
comfortable seat.
Fred Luderus drove a terrific single to
right centre at the beginning OF the sec
ond inning and went to second on a sacri-
fce but Niehoff fouled out and Chalmers
famed after Burns had walked.
After Hoblitzei nad died on strikes,
| Duffy Lewis was. given fine ovation
when he came to the bat It was Duffy

great catch from Cravath's bat in the
third inning and it was he also who drove
| in the winning run. Lewis was an easy
victim on grounder to Chalmers.
The Philly pitcher was given a big
hand when he walked from the box after
| Gardner had flied out.
| For the first time during the series Pat
Moran did not appear on the coaching
| line when the Phillies went in for the
AroN ha1 - L.. ~
Dugey was at third base and Bill Killifer
at first. Moran was seated on the bench
out of the limelight.
A LOST HOME RUN.
There was very little enthusiasm shown
! in the third inning until the last out was
| made. Bancroft, who had walked was
still on first when Gavvy Cravath hit a
drive to left field which would have hit
the top OF the Lehigh wall in PhiladeI-
| phiat but Duffy Lewis, who was already
playing deep backed against the wall and
caught the ball which would have given
| the Phillies a run had II hit safely.
| A lot of excitement was created on the
| held because, with Barry on second, Cady
on nrst and Shore at the bat, Chalmers
stepped out OF the Dox to get Burns sig
nal. and Umpire Evans called it a baIk.
The Boston crowd roared with approval
but ceased when Umpire Rigler reversed
| protested
for few moments, then play was re-
| sumed.
After Shore had sacrificed and Hooper
had hit single which bounded over
Chalmers head, scoring Barry, the crowd
went wild with delight. The Royal Root
ers appiauded Scott when he came to the
pat. Whitted was given a big hand even
by the Red Sox followers when he raced
across the foul line, grabbed Scott's high
! ny ana held Cady at third and Hooper
at first. The Red Sox had nothing more
| to cheer them in that inning, Speaker
grounded out but the Royal Rooters cele-
brated the one-run lead with band Sc.
lection and song
MORAN COACHES AGAIN.
/ Pat Moran came back to the coacher's
box in the fourth and received the plaud-
It's Of his Fitchburg and Philadelphia
| friends. The early part OF the fourth
was tame. Luderus and Whitted were
retired easily. Niehoff walked and Burns
singled eut Scott made a great stop of
Chalmers drive, forcing Niehoff.
The west field and the west stand rose
In body and began to cheer as Chalmers
gave Hoblitzel three balls. When Hobby
singled over second and Rixey was sent
down TO warm up, their shouts were
turned against the tall left-hander After
| Lewis had sacrificed, Whitted drew ap-
plause from friends and enemies alike
when he made a spectacular catch of
Gardner's drive near the foul line. With
Barry at the bat. a man recognized as
one OF the games greatest pinch hitters,
Boston fans were almost sure of another
run. They cheered Barry to the echo
but his response was a fly TO Paskert
Enthusiasm ran riot IN the fifth inning
| when stock opened with a line drive 70
| left on which Lewis made a shoe-strinR
| catch. When the next two batsmen had
been retired on fiy balls. Lewis was ac-
corded a long ovation as he went In to
the dugout.
cady opened the Red sox' half OF the
NTH with a single to centre, but the next
three batsmen were easy for Chalmers.
CHEERS FOR CHALMERS.
The big pitcher was accorded a GOOD
reception ~ he came back 10 the bench.
The Philadelphia fans continued and in
creased their applause as Gavvy Cravath
went to the bat but he lined 70 Speaker.
While Luderus was up President Lam
