ALEXANDER OUTPIrCIiES
RED SOX TWIItLEI,
Manager Carrigan sent in two pinch
hittcrs IN the ninth. but could not get
"A man to second.

Rain last night and early to-day
threatened to cause a pOstponement
OF the game which eventually was
played under Il brilliant October sun
with scarce Il cloud in the sky The
coy little grounds OF the Phillics were
filled to the limit despite the fact that
the official attendance was announced
AS snort of 2",Joo, probably the small
est crowd that ever witnessed a start
of worlds series.
The official attendance was Io.342

Commissions share was s5,lO6.60 play

Every effort was made TO get the

est opening gave them the runs which
brought victory. Extensively the Ros-

times his mental attitude was not

teammates played. both on the bases
and In the field, and in the end this
giraffe attack and defense finally broke
the Red Sox ,wirlcr. ~ the beginning
Of the game shore had - clearly per-

the American League bowman was cool
and confident, and had n mastery con-
