degree at times. Manager Moran, In
fact. was quoted today as saying that
he would have sent Chalmers instead
of Mayer against Boston Saturday but
for an element which he feared would
operate to his disadvantage. Eppa
Jeptha RiXey, the elongated and err

Similarly. some doubt existed as to
the choice of Manager Carrigan. Ruth,

prominent part in the pitching which
brought the team to a championship.

Leonard's success against the Phfl1ies
yesterday demolished the theory that
they would fall heavily upon left
handlers and Manager Carrigan said ne
felt certain Ruth could win II he were
started But the Boston manager also
mentioned Shore as a possible choice,
and it was thought that the latter
would be turned against the Phillies to
take advantage of what he had learned
of their weakness at bat In the first
game of the series. Although Boston
lost this game Shore was credited by
many with having outpitched Alex

Either Shore or Ruth.
Carrigan said that no matter whether
Shore or Ruth went into the game he
would not himself be in the lineup

and other base ball records.
Figuring from such basis for to-

individually will amount to about
$4,000. One or two previous series
have resulted in greater returns to
the players, the lack of space in the
Philadelphia park being too great to
be offset by the record receipts at
Braves Field.
Lines Longer Than Yesterday.
The fans who made the first rush
the gates of Braves Field to-
day had formed in line soon after yes
terdays game was finished, or had
purchased places from those who had
held them since that time. The lines
were longer than on the preceding day.
Hundreds of clerks and statesmen were
early on the scene to get choice seats
for their holiday outing.
There was no line waiting for re-
served seats. all reservations having
been disposed of yesterday. Specula-
tors. however. had picked up some
tickets from those who saw yester-
days game and who wished to turn
over their seats for the remaining two
possible games at small profit. These
were to be had at prices within reach
of most grandstand habitues. The rea-
