The cozy little II grounds of the Phillies were filled to the limit despite the fact that the of- hcial attendance was announced at short of 10000, probably the smallest crowd that ever witnessed start of a 5 worlds series

 Every effort was made to get the , playing field in condition but. it was = wet and soggy throughout and had 3 much to do with robbing the game of
 any possible brilliance There were ! few thrills other than the eighth in- ming, but it was there the game was won and lost.
 : There was much speculation tonight ] as to the batteries for tomorrow s , game. It seems taken for granted that Moran's choice for the Phillies would be either Chalmers or Mayer, while Carrigan will send either Foster or Leonard in for the Red Sox.

As the contest progressed and the Phillies escaped from one predicament after another Alexander improved while Shore began to show signs of the strain until the breaking climax came in the eighth.
 The loss of the game cannot be placed entirely upon the shoulders of Shore. how ever, for Hoblitzel's bad play in the open ing inning when he failed to consider lMexander's speed and was caught of first base with Hooper on third and Lewis at the bat. seemingly shut off a ST lendid chance fQr run. In the fourth inning Shore, of course. had no one but , himself to blame when he opened the way
