Oct. 9.-Abeut 10000 persons saw
the President and his fiancee ak
Phillies Park this afternoon.
There was also ball sane-the
second one of the title series be-
tween the PhiIlies and the Red
Sox-but nobody eVineed much
The presidents fiancse was here.

Speaker showed the crowd some
smuggling during practice. Jack
Barry did some fiashy second

a new bag Of tricks. Nobody saw
them. Nobody aPpIauded. The
presidents fiancee was here.
In vain did the athletes strike
"Napoleonie" poses. Nothing mat

ball player can be taken any day. ,
The presidential box, festooned
with flags, banners and the floor
covered with real green carpet
was in the ground tier near the

the box of w. =. Baker, owner of
the Philadelphia. on the other was

carpet on the floor.

preliminary strides an hour and a
half before the game time, all of
which shows the moral effect of
one win. The Red Sox, however,
emerged from their iair long be-

business in q silent sort of way.
