hit in the sixth, Speaker being the indi-
vidual to camp so far out in his field
that 1t was hard to see him without a
spyglass.
Hoblitzell took a particular liking to
Chal delivery. Though he struck
out the first time up. he hit safely
three times thereafter. Luderus, too,
made Shore feel that he was not a weak
hitter, for he cracked out three clean
safeties and then hit long fly, on
which Hooper had to cover a lot Of
ground.
The spectacle of having field umpire

bat took place yesterday in the. third
inning. when with Barry and Cady on
the bases, Evans. who was in charge.

Leonard could repeat tomorrow if it
was necessary. The Sox have the bet

virtually put out of the race when
Alexander was beaten Monday.
Even the Boston crowds appreciate
the little catcher, Burns, who has
caught every game in the series and
has acquitted himself nobly. They
cheered him every inning. In the en-.
tire series but one base has been stolen
on Burns. and he has thrown out all
the others who have attempted to pill

several times and also getting a few
hits.
Chalmers only six were clean cut,
while there was nothing 1uky about
any of the drives made off Shore.
Duffy Lewis. the brilliant left fielder
OF the Sox, also is a great admirer Of
Walter Johnson.
IT Walter johnson ever breaks into
an world series .adss hope I am not on the
of course, that Alexander 10 great
pitcher, but those who class him with
Johnson are making serious mistake
or don't realize what a wonderful per-
former the Washington star is.
In world series. johnson, if he gets
into one within the next few years,
could easily pitch three Of the games

down the stands with applause. His
catch Of Stocks short drive, which had
all the earmarks Of a base hit, in the
fifth inning. gave the Phillies a poor
| start. Lewis came in ON a full run,
and. leaning far over while in motion,
picked the ball Off his shoetops. Two
or three times later he was offered diff
ficult chances. but accepted them all
without much trouble. He had six put
outs in all.
There was near riot in front Of the
Braves field yesterday, when approx
mately 10000 people tried to gain
admission to the park. The failure
