PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The series
went just as had predicted We had
better team in that the Red Sox had
the edge on the Phillies in batting.
But don't think it was a cinch. l see
that a lot of people are saying that If
the games in Boston had been played
in Philadelphia, the Phillies would
have won both. Well, they had their
chance today. but Luderus' drive over
the fence was the only hit of any
length that the PhiIlies made. I said
yesterday that the series would end In
Philadelphia. and you see was right
We should have saved the game long
before We did.
