Philadelphia. oct. IA home run,
clouted over the centor field fence by
Harry Hooper, this afternoon, put g
clincher on the claim of the Boston
American league club 20 the baseball
championship of the world The nome
run marked the final scoring effort Of
the 1915 worlds series and gave the
deciding game To the Boston Red SoN
by score of 10 Z. -Four games for
the Red SoX TO one for the National
league champions was the game roc
ord for the series
Todays game was one to stir the
blood. II was a battle from the jump,
with the issue ever in doubt. Twice
il seemed that Philadelphia had a
winning margin, but twice the Red
Sox hammered their way TO the front
The game was a batting bee in which
the Phillies got an even start For
the first time in the series the hum
of the home run was heard.
The Boston hitters sent three balls
hurting 10 the center field stands for
the circuit Hooper got two home
run smashes and Lewis another. The
Philadelphia players vdliantly tried To
meet the invaders at the home run
game Luderus lifted one high over
the right field wall in the fourth, but
here the heavy firing of the home
folks ended and for the last five i'm
nngs there was never threat of
Philadelphia ITALICS.
SOX just Good Enough
The short fences OF the Philly park
confidently looked forward To as a
! nj Il
in the end their undoing. Cravath,
home run monarch of the National
league, was expected to break up
games with smashes out of the lot
but he got his long hits in Boston,
where they were speared for sensa-
ational outs and before the home
crowds "Gavvy' could only whiff the
air when the fans were frantic for a
hit
All through this worlds series the
Red Sox have been just good enough
to win When the Philadelphia team
! fielded brilliantly the Boston players
shone with a greater degree of radi-
ance When the Philadelphia pitch
I ing was alright the Boston twirlinl
was Just little tighter. And today
when the long silent bats of the PHI
| lies began "a lifting song of biggs and
hbingles, the Boston bats crashed IN
more strident tones Never very fan
above their rivals i'm any one IF tht
! five games, the men of the American
| league in the last four starts were al
ways just within the shadoWy line OF
success II was a hard series for the
! Phillles TO lose, but "a brilliant vietorl
/ for the SoN.
Supposedly outclassed from tn,
start, with the exception of one stal
pitcher the Phillies fought stubborn
! ~ and desperately. They lacked th'
( punch, however, and could never give
their pitchers a comfortable margin
to work under. 1t seemed that tn,
tide was about to turn to the Phillie'
/ this afternoon when they carried Tho
game to the eighth inning two runs
TO the good.
Tries 10 Outgucss Hooper
The slugging Of the visitors, how
ever, sounded death knell to Phillh
hopes. The crisis came when, in th'
ninth. Hooper advanced to the plate
and faced Eppa Jeptha Rixey, thu
elongated Nirgnian who had taken ~
/ the burden when Erskine Mayer fal
tered. Rixey was supremely confiden
Of his ability of outguessing che bat
ter He bent two wide breakinf
curves over corners Of the plate fol
strikes, then, thinking evidently tina
Hooper was expecting third bender
he Whlstled a fast ball across the pan
/ Right lin the groove il came ant
| Hooper drove it low over the heads g.

il struck and bounded into the croWC
while Hooper trotted around th'
paths. The smash dispelled what lit
tie confidence remained with TN
losers and not a Philly reached mrs
in the last half Of the ninth.
Manager pat" Moran, Of the Phil
lies sprung big surprise on the sol
as wen as on the crowd when he an
nounced j. Erskine Mayer, of Atlanta
Ga, as the finger to make the las
stand for the home team II had beer
taken for granted that Alexandei

said that Moran had decided to taxi

that he would have Alexander r,A6'

of the series. Mayer. however laste'
