to the Red Sox from the city which
they represent, the rest of Boston
fandon tonight sat back and waited
fer the opening of the world series to-
morrow. Red Sox followers have not
seen their team in action for more
than week, but faith in their success
in the series was generally strong IN
spite of an uncertainty of feeling re-
garding the ability of the Boston men
to overcome Philadeiphia's Alexander.

with bringing world championship

Before President Lannin left he saw
the first of the reserved seats for the
