continued a din that could be
heard for miles. Only for a mo-
ment did the crowd become silent
and that was during the announcement
| Of the batteries. Then the cheering
and yelling began again and continued

the players had reached their dressing

Phillies Bat First
As Boston was playing at home,
Philadelphia went to bat and as Dutch
Leonard faced the opposing batsman,
it was the beginning of what stands
out as one of the greatest ball games
of world s Ieries. ..
In the pitching department were two
of the greatest boxmen of the day,
Alexander, a mighty right-hander and
Leonard, a mighty left-hander. Both
are past masters of the game and both
worked as never pitchers had worked
before.
As he was in his own hometown
Leonard was the favorite of the fans
They forgot all about his deserving the
team in mid season and how he almost
cost the Req Sox the American League
championship. He was their idol to-
day and every move he made brought
forth volley of cheers. AT that he
deserved all the good things said about
him. Never once did the big colleglan
waver. lie stood the task of outpitch-
ing the great Alexander and the won
derful hitterS in the Phillies rank did
not feaze him. But three times did
the big men Of the National League
hit the ball out of Nthe reach of a
Boston fielder, and only once did "a
Philadelphia player reach the home
plate. This came in the third inning
and in this frame the Quakermen
scored their only run
A Great Performance
Wonderful, too, was the game pitch
ed by Alexander, and performances
like his in this game are proud records
for any pitcher to hold. Boston,
though, was a bit too strong for the
fair haired Kansan, Lewis especially,
and it was he who left the sting of
defeat on the hope and pride of the
Philadelphia fans. Four times Lewis
he hit safely, scoring one half the hits
made by his team. vE3..s,. g..
After the Red Sox had tied the
score in the fourth inning, the duel be
tween Leonard and Alexander became
all the more impressive, and the most
concern of the fans was as to which
of the two would be the first to crack
under the strain. 's
Lewis Turns Trick
To Alexander fell the potion. Hooper,
always dangerous man at the bat,
faced the big Philadelphian with the
final of'the ninth inning and a scream
ing single past the infield started the
Boston roOters on a mad cheering and
yelling campaign. Scott, the man who
failed to cover second in the opening
game, laid down a bunt, and Hooper
moved over to second, Iris Speake err
was next in line and under orders from
Moran the big Texan was given a base
on balls. HOblitzel, the next batsman,
grounded out at first on slow roller
and Hooper moved over TO third while
Speaker went to second.
Into the fray stepped Duffy Lewis
and all the Drawn and brain of Alex.
ander were no match for the Red Sox
Outfielder. A sharply driven hit to cen
terrified, GU. of the reach of any of the
Phillies, sent Hooper over the plate and
the fate Of Alexander was sealed.
As the full realization came to the
Boston rooters that victory was theirs
nothing could hold them and in three
seconds a wild, bowling mob was on the
field and surrounding the Bostea-Piay
ers, With difficulty the latter made
their way to the dressing rooms, but the
fans would not leave, and II was not
until the police were called 70 clear the
