proved TOO mucn Tor the Philadelphia
National League champions Saturday
and they went down to defeat in the
second game OF the series by the score
OF to !. II was Fosters splendid
pitching that held the mighty smuggling
Philly batsmen in check while he him
self contributed three OF the 10 Red
Sox safe hits. One of these came In
the ninth with Gardner on second and
drove in the deciding run OF the game.
The only run scored by the Quakers
came in the NTH inning on two success
sive doubles by Cravath and Luderus.
Foster then frightened up and the Ma
tionai Leaguers were never again
dangerous. Mayer also pitched a fine
game and was backed up in sensational
style. with the exception of one error
by Burns. Jack Barry, contributed the
real hair rising play Of the game, when
he went over behind Hoblitzen and
picked up a hot grounder from the bat

Foster IL said 10 be the smallest pitch

with .14O, the average of the Phillies.

BASE BALL MEN -

BOSTON. Mass. Oct. 1o.-There was
conjecture here tonight among baseball
rams as to'whether anything would de-
veiop from the informal meeting held in
Philadelphia late last Friday night of
tne three members of the National COM
mlssoin and men identified with the
reoeral League. at which the present
situation of baseball was discussed II
was learned that organized basel ball has
not changed its attitude, that while
there are men in the Federal League
who would be welcomed into organized
pasepall present conditions warrant
only two major leagues.
The suggestion that two ten club cir
cults be organized the extra clubs TO
come from the Federal League was not
entertained by the members OF the Ma
uonal commission. IL was admitted at
the meeting by the most OF those pres
ent. II Is Understood. that the game
would be better off in Chicago and ST
Louis with two clubs, instead of having
three In each OF those cities.
The meeting. which oas brought BY
men identified with the Federal League
ended without any understanding IN a
