here this afternoon The score was to
!, and the winning tally was scored in
! the ninth inning Pitcher Fosters third
hit of the game sent over the deciding
count.
Foster outpitched Mayer. allowing three
hits.
The Red sox backed Foster up perfect

to him words of announcement As
Foster came in to the bench at the end
of the game he passed the Presidential
! box, and both the President and his
| fiancee nodded congratulations to the
young man.

rushed on the field as soon as the last
Philadelphia man had been put out and
led by their famous band Of "Tessie"
| fame did q snake dance that would have
turned any college man green with
| envy.
President Wilson and Mrs Gait stayed
| until the finish. They seemed to enojy
I the aftermath as much as they did the
game Mrs. Gait was heard to remark
| that while she was Philadelphia rooter
she thought the better team had won.
1T was a great game" said the Presi-
dent, and 1 enjoyed 1t very much
! Fighting All the Way.
In defeat the Phillies fought bravely
every inch Of the way and never once
gave up hope until Speaker backed up
against the centerf1eld bleachers and
made a beautiful catch Of Paskert's line
drive that would have been a home run
had it slipped through his hands.
7 Mayer pitched a good game. but it was
not good enough. Philadelphia had but
one good opportunity to score. This
! came in the fifth inning when they got
! their solitary run. Two of the three hits
! made OFF Foster were made in the fifth.
They were successive doubles by Cravath
and Luderus and brought in the run.
| The other hit was a single by Bancroft
| in the sixth when two men were out. In
| every other inning they died in one-two-
! three order.
! Eostons first run came in the opening
inning. Hooper worked Mayer for a pass
! and in trying to sacrifice Scott popped to
/ I.uderus. Speaker delivered a single to
right and as it was on the hit and run
| the fleet-footed Hooper raced to third.
| Then came sign for a double steal.
| Burns made perfect throw to Ntehoft
! and Speaker was nailed at second.
Hooper. however, slid over the plate with
| the run when Burns dropped the throw
! home.
PhiIIies Tic Count.
! Cravaths double followed by Luderus'
| wo-bagger tied tn" score for Philadet-
phia in the fifth. In the ninth inning the
! Boston team won out. Gardner opened
! with sharp single to left. Barry sent
a long fly to Paskert and Janvrin. who
ran for Thomas in the seventh and later
/ replaced Scott at short. was thrown out
| by Mayer on tap in front of the plate.
| Then II WAS Foster who delivered his
! hit that will so down in the annals of
baseball bringing Gardner home with
| the winning run. 1t mattered not to tho
| Boston fans when Hooper famed for tho
! third out.
| In the seventh inning with three men
! on and two out Boston had a great
| chance to score. Henricksen. the utility
! outficlder whose pinch hit in the 1s1;
world series will never be forgotten by
the Giants. was sent in to bat for Scott.
| History did not repeat. for Hcnricksen
popped weakly to Luderus.
The prospect of seeing President VIII
son on his arrival ideal weather and tho
! Intense enthusiasm aroused by yester-
days victory, early filed the streets
about City Hall with shouting thousands.

specs Getting Scarce.
The crowd of ticket spectators and
gamblers in front of the Bellevue STRAIT
ford, the baseball headquarters. was
somewhat thinner than on the first day.
Many of the pasteboard merchants were
badly stuug as the result of the provcrb-
ial Philadelphia prudence. The ouakers
refused to pay three and four prices for
tickets. and today the premium. in many
cases. was not more than a dolfAr. except
, on box seats
The professional odds offered by the
sporting fraternity were 800 to $50 on
Boston in today's game. However. among
the average fans the favorite bet seemed
to be even money.
The Boston royal rooters lodged at the
Continental Hotel were wary Of offering
better than to 4. but covered everything
In sight on an even basis.
The professional atmosphere was mark
ediy absent in the early scenes Of the
day. but the coming Of the President and
his bride-to-b be added later that touch Of
romance to make an already perfect day
indispensable.
BIeacherites In Line.
The Bleacherites lined up In the usual
all.night vigil. and were increased to
nearly a thousand by 10 o'clock. Presi-

had as much to do with the sise Of tho
