II the Phillies and Red Sox were to

Moran has no choice as to his plan

Moran's plan of battle is this: He
will open with Alexander. Now,
"Alex" Ia the best pitcher in this
series. and, his season, the best in the
world. He is dog tired. He has been
through q season OF terrific strain and
has pitched over 100 innings more
than any other pitcher in his league.
His great strength has stood the
strain we'll and Moran has saved him
as much as possible. especially during
