Sox have been just good enough to win.
They lost their first meeting with Alex
ander, but thereafter were not to be de-
MED. When the Philadelphia team field
ed brilliantly the Boston players shone
with just that greater degree Of ra-
dance which narrowly separated the VIM
ner from the loser. When the Philadel-
phia pitching was alright, the Boston
twirling was just little tighter. And
today when the long-silent bats of the
Phillies began song of biffs and bingles
the Boston bats crashed in more stridenr
tones. Never very far above their rivals
in any one of the five games. the men OF
the American League in the last four
starts were always just within the shac-
owy line of success. 1t was a hard Sc
ries for the Phillies to lose. but brial-
liant victory for the Boston Sox.
Sox' Ten Hits for 81 Bases
Supposedly outclassed from the start.
with one star pitcher, the Phillies fought
stubbornly and desperately and we're not
without plenty of chances to win each
game they lost. The drives. the punch, -
the ultimate smash was missing, howev-
err, and they could never give their pitch
ers a comfortable margin to work un-
der. 1t seemed that the tide was about
to turn to the Phillies this afternoon
when they carried the game into the
eighth inning two runs to the good. But
the Soxs were out for victory, and 10
singing hits for. total of y bases
sounded the death knell of Philly hopes.
,Moran's; Surprise
Manager "Patr Moran of the Phillies
sprang a big surprise OH the Sox as
well as on the crowd when he announced
j. Erskine Mayer as the finger to make
the last stand for the home team. 1t

der would be sent to the slab in the
final effort of the National 'Leaguers and

Looked Good to Sox
At any rate Mayer looked good to Nc
ran today, but he looked even better to
the Red SoX. They were having bat
ting holiday at his expense when Morac
stopped the proceedings in the third III
ming and waved Mayer to tire bench. The
home players had given Mayer TWO runs
in their half of the first but the Sox
had hammered home similar number
and had gathered six hits off Mayer
when he flung his glove de;ectedly away
and retired.

mound and the Sox assault was suddenly

MORAN ADMITS
BEST TEAM WON

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-Both Manager
Carrigan of the victorious Boston Red
Sox and Pat Moran. leader of the Phil
lies, declared tonight that the 1915 worlds
series. would go down in baseball history
as one of the hardest ever fought for
premier honors, and both were agreed
that the better team won.
When YOU are beaten four in a row
there isn't any excuse to offer" said Mo-
ran. ANY team that wins four success
sfve games in worlds series must be
given credit. We play ed our best. We
gave all we had but We didn't have
enough. Our team was the best in the
National League and the Sox were the
best of the American League clubs. And
as they beat us they naturally should
be regarded as the best ball club in the
country
Carrioan's View
1T was hard fought series. and the
better team won.' said Carrigan. II
never saw series SO Interesting and 30
holly contested. The Phillies deserve q
lot of credit. They put up a stiff battle
every minute and gave us a fight all
the way through. OF course we were
favored by some luck. We got several
breaks Of the game. but the results are
self-evident. We outplayed the Phillies.
All my men worked hard for me and
am elated. We encountered masterful
pitching from A1oran's staff wish the
Phillies all kinds of luck and hope they
win the pennant in their league next
season. -.

THROWN OUT OF HER
HOME, WIFE declares
Lawyer Talks of Quitting
Case When Brutality
is Alleged
SAYS HUSBAND
DENIED BABY MILK

There was a sudden halt in the tria,
of Leslie i. Walls, of New Castle, in
City Court today on a charge of non
support, when Mrs. Bessie Walls, the
wife. remarked that her husband had
beaten her and thrown her out of the
house into a shed.
Richard S. Rodney. mayor of New
Castle. who was defending Walls. said
he did not wish to defend Walls if he
had done such a thing. Mrs Walls said
she could produce witnesses to prove her
statement. The case was then contin-
ued for one week and Court officer Fran
els Green ordered TO make an investi-
cation. A temporary order of s. a week
for the support of the wife and a ten
months old son was made on Walls.
Mrs. Walls said her husband had
advertised her in the papers on Sat
urday and as a result her credit at
the stores in New Castle terminated.
She said she had to have con
densed milk for the baby, but that her
husband had told the druggists in
New Castle not TO sell her any. She
said that her trouble was caused by
too much mother-in-law She stated
that her husband had also prevented
her hiring a doctor
Mrs Walls said her husband was
a machinist helper in the employ of
the DUPONT Company and earned SAL
"a night. Il was claimed on behalf Of
the husband that the wife had been
extravagant but the wife denied this.
