Worlds Series in Brief


good many hard and long hits were
flying to the outicld, and as the only
limit to the elasticity of the pickets out
there was their own ability to cover
ground. u wid range of territory was
covered and numerous good catches were
made. paSkert assimilated seven flies
and deported himself like the artist he
Is. and capital nabs were made by
Whitted. Cravath, Hooper and Lewis.
No Place for Fly Hail Homcrs.
What would have been a home run
in Philadelphia. a ball propelled by the
sometime tr.nchant ash of Cravath, was
enmcshed somewhere between the plate
and the Charles River by the. entwining
and viceliNe fingers of Duffy Lewis.
Fly bah hitting prevailed. All after
o useless rockets sent UP by the
batters cluttcrod the cloudless canopy.
The Red SoX sent fifteen flies into the
turquoise dome the pills fecked that
same celestial vault with twelve.
Barry. who has been n sterling opera
tive at the second turning all through
this series. kept up his speedy clip.
In the second inning he pulled down a

the Philadelphia run. Gardner and
Scott were a shutting impenctrable
pair for all that came their way. The

In the second the hitting OF the Phil
lies was no hitting at all. 1t was fiat
n tepid. Luderus, a left handed bat
ter, was helpless before Leonard's left
handed pitching. He struck out three
times. the first time in the second inning.
A ball on the inside tied his hands and
perforated his bat. Hoblitzell grounded
along the first base line when the Red
Sox came to bat and Alexander plucked
the ball from the soil on the line. He

he could have thrown to second for a

Stock sacrificed. Barry covering first,

third with one out. Bancroft peeled a
hit from the Dutch allurements and sent
Burns over the plate. Alexander went

was called back by the coacher. The
chances are he'd have been put out had
he gone in. With Paskert and Cravath
coming UP. it looked as II he'd score any

Alex threw off his sweater n pre-

he looked for never came, though a fast
