over left handlers in presenting a line up almost entirely composed of right handed batsmen. ~
 The opposing managers had no word tonight as to their probable, pitching choices tomorrow, but among the play CTS and close followers of the teams the opinion appeared general that All exander and Leonard would contend Burns again will catch Alexander. and 1t is thought that Manager Carrigan will make his first active appearance in the series as the Boston backstop.
 It was remarked with satisfaction by Red Sox supporters tonight that the team has out-hit the Phillies in the two games already played. Ex- pert opinion rrior to the series was generally to the effect that Philadel- phia was potentially the better bat ting team but the Red Sox have hit for a team average of .26s so far as compared with .140, the average of hits by their opponents.
 George Foster, hero of yesterday 6 game has contributed largely to the Red Sox advantage in this connection, with a naverage of .750 for his three hits yesterday. Gardner, with three hits out of seven times at bat. leads the regular players of both teams at .429, and Duffy" Lewis is second with .375- A pitcher is high batsman of the Phillies also. Alexander having an average of .333. the only mark above 300 held by any momber of his team Cady and Thomas of Boston. Stock Niehoff and Burns of Philadelphia have gone hitless so far.

They arrived on the same train from Philadelphia and took their off- day here much as they would any Sunday in the regular season. Mem bers of both teams went to church this afternoon. Several were out or the golf links this afternoon, while others motored during the day. A. few of the Philadelphia players loungec about the hotel and some went out tC Braves Field, scene of the games oi tomorrow and Tuesday, where today band played and United States Sem ator Borah spoke on "Preparedness'
