1 - I y . o.. h. n ~ .
we're opened thousands OF men and
boys were waiting eagerly to gain
front seats.
The presence Of Governor Brum-
baugh and members OF his official
family to represent the state, and
Mayor Blankenbufg, representing the
city, gave atoday's contest an official
flavor. 1t was the first game Of the
series that the governor. who has Just
returned from an automobile tour Of
Pennsylvania. has been able to at
tend. Like President Wilson and
Mayor Blankenburg he is an enthus-
iastic follower Of the game.

A threat of serious delay or pos
sible postponement of the fifth game
served only in the end to whet the app
petite OF more than 10000 faithful
Philly fans, who crowded into the
little park to encourage the home
team in Its last stand against the Red
Sox.
A poor steaming engine Of the spec
tal train bearing the members Of the
two ball teams delayed their scheduled
arrival in the city from 9 O'Clock until
shortly after noon. In the meantime
all sorts of rumors were current of a
serious accident and a consequent de-
lay in the series The special was
routed from Boston around by way of
'Poughkeepsie and was difficult to To-
cate! Eventually, however, word came
that all was well.
The Phillies once more in their
white uniforms were first on the play
ing field. The local fans fully be-
lieyed, tina. Alexander would turn back
the invaders and that some of "Gavyy,
Crayath's long hits which went fot
outs on the Boston field would deyelor
into home runs today.
There WAS every evidence of a
fiercely fought game.
The playing field today was lightning
fast-far faster than the one in Bos-
ton. In practice the batted balls sped
over 1t in way that indicated the in
ielders would have to be on their tip
toes all the time. The PhlIy park
seemed timer than ever after two
days of play at Braves field but the
Boston players said they did not fear
the heavy artillery. of the Phillies any
longer.
A large floral horseshoe was pre-
scented to Grover Cleveland Alexander
by admiring friends just before play
was called.
