Braves Field, Boston, Oct. 1.-THE
third game of the 1915 worlds series
between Philadelphia and Boston was
played here this afternoon at the
largest and most beautiful baseball
park In the world, under perfect
weather conditions. Not a cloud was
in the sky. The sun by noon had driv-
en- away the chill in the early morn
ing air, and the Charles river, running
beyond the park, rippled in q soft
autumn breeze.
Grover Cleveland Alexander was to |
make his second attempt to hurl the |
slugging Sox back for another defeat
The Phillies expected him to pitch a
game that could not be beaten The
Philadelphians said he would prove far
more effective for having had the ex-
perience Of facing the red hosed war
riors from Boston. The Sox were con-
fiedent that, having once looked over
all Alexander had to offer, they no
longer had any fear of him.
y Manager Carrigan's early morning
selection for pitcher was Dutch"
Leonard, the star port-sider OF the !
American league.
The Sox had all the advantage that
goes with the home crowd, and there
were more than double the loyal sup
porters on hand to cheer them than
the Phiflies could crowd into their
yard on Broad street.
But the playing field itself was
stranger to the Sox than to the Phillies
this home of the Braves having been
selected in place of the American lea
que pazk because Of It's superior &C
commodajons.
Practice is Fast.
A mighty cheer greeted the Boston
players when they appeared on the
field little after 1 o'clock and began
batting practice.
The crowd began to arrive in large
numbers at 1:30 o'clock. BY that
time all the cheaper seats were filled,
with scores eager to gain admission.
Lightning fast plays were made dur
Ing the practice of the two inf1elds.
The inner gardens had been rolled
smooth and dry and grounders came to
the fields with snap and precision. The
sun bothered the center and right
fielders and Speaker and Hooper wore
sun glasses. Dutch Leonard warmed
up 4eor Boston, while Alexander tried
tut hNis curves for Philadelphia Be-
ore thee game silver loving cup and
large Eooral horseshoe were present
