Philadelphia. Oct. 1l.-Crowds Of disap-
pointed fans swept through the center Of
the city this afternoon when the defea,
OF the Phillies by the Boston Red SoX
was flashed ON the bulletin boards They
had banked on Alexander winning to-
days game. and in fact every game he
pitched. If the Red SoX could defeat
Alexander. there seemed TO be little hope
in the minds of most of the fans that
the Phillies will win the world series
The city virtually a took half day off
while the game was being played in Bos
ton. Thousands of persons assembled in
front of the scoreboards in front of the
newspaper offices and in various halls
where the game was given in detail on
electric scoreboards. In front of one
scoreboard located near the city hall
nearly 10000 watched the returns. and d
mighty groan went up when Hooi er
scored the winning run for Boston in the
ninth inning.

This wonderful catch saved a run and
was followed by another spectacular play
when Lewis raced all the way to the
left field fence after a vicious drive by
Cactus Cravath. Had the ball been
hit on the Philles park it would have
surely gone for a home run.
Jack Coombs. former Athletics hurler.
and Johnny Evers. of the Boston Braves.
who witnessed the game and who were
interviewed by the writer tonight. stated
that they had never seen Alexander hat
ted as hard this season. as the Red Sox
hit him today.
Alexander. didn't look right to me. -
said Evers. He did not have as good
control as he usually has against US and
appeared as If he was afraid to put the
ball over"
An indication Of how hard the Red
Sox were hitting Alexander Is shown
in the box score and also by the fact
that until the seventh inning First Base
man Luderus. of the Phillies. did not
have a putout to his credit.
Dick Hoblitzers costly error in the
third inning and his failure to run out
an attempted bunt in the seventh. which
resulted in doubleplay. made him look
like the goat" of this game. but it
was the same Dick Hoblitzel who un-
loaded long fly in the Red Sox half of
the fourth. which put over the tieing
run.
For the fourth game OF the series here
tomorrow. Manager Bill Carrigan. Of the
Red Sox. will pitch Ernie Shore. who
was beaten by Alexander in the first
game of the series over in Philadelphia
last Friday 'Dut" Chalmers is slated
to oppose Shore. providing the weather

the writer. over the outlook of the series.
had very little to say. Moran. was Bit
terly disappointed over the failure of Al
exander to trim the Red SoX, but declar-
ed that he felt sure he would win to-
morrow's game and that with Alexander
in the box against the frey hosed brigade
in Philadelphia. on Wednesday. the Phil
lies would regain all the lost ground.
On the other hand, Bill Carrigan, the
Red Sox pilot. believes that it Is all over
but the shouting.
We beat Alexander today. didn't we?
Well. we viii beat whoever Moran sends
against us tomorrow. and on Wednesday.

Those who We're confident that the
Phillies would win the series are waver-

ing, not because the Phillies are In the
hole. nor because Alexander was beaten
but because the Phillies so far seem help

four hits per game. OF eleven hits fve
