10 the bat, but he succumbed on strikes.
speaker was given the glad hand, but his
best effort was n line drive TO Paskert.
when the second inning began, the
Boston rooters held their breath when
the hard-hitting Buderus stepped into
the batters' box. Ludy famed, and the
Red sox rooters cheered. After Whitted
and Niehoff had gone out on easy flies
to the inneld, the occupants OF the boxes
near the Red Sox dugout compelled
Leonard to doff his cap several times
As the inning ended on Gardner's ny
to the outfiold, the Philadelphans pres
ent gave Alexander an ovation.
The Quaker city rooters applauded as
Alexander came TO the plate in the third
inning after Burns had singled over
Barry's head. These same fans became
frantic when Alexander was safe at first
on Hoblitzell's muff and Burns had
reached second with not batter out.
BURNS OVER PLATE
Bancroft shot single over second
which scored Eddie Burns with the first
run Of the game. The Boston roOters
had their inning when Jack Barry caught
paskerts fly in right centre field and
held Alexander at third. This seemed
to give the local followers a feeling Of
confidence. i'm spite of the fact that Cra-
vath was the next batsman. Gavvy came
up with two men on bases. but when
Duffy Lewis made spectacular running
catch OF his drive and prevented further
disaster. even the strains of the band
were drowned in the frenzied applause
for the clever left fielder.
Jack Barry who had temporarily saved
the day for the Red SoX, was given
big reception when he went to the bat TO
start the third inning, but he was unable
to do more than shoot hot liner to
Paskert.
OVATION FOR CARRlGAN.
Manager Carrigan's first appearance at
the bat i'm the series was a signal for
another prolonged demonstration by the
Royal Rooters. Their applause continued
when Alexander gave the Red SoX leader
a base on balls.
Leonard received a big cheer from the
bleachers when he struck Luderus out
for the second time. Probably the most
active figure within the inclosure at this
time was Manager Pat Moran. Standing
i'm the first base coachers' box he clapped
his hands and danced, giving encourage
ment to every hitter that came to the
plate.
His mind was even more active than
his body, for he was directing each play
and telling the hitters what to do at the
bat. His efforts were fruitless, however,
in the fourth inning, for after Imderus
had famed. Whitted and Niehoff went
out on fly balls.
The Boston fans breathed sigh of re-
lief after this and began to cheer Scott
as he came up, but his only response
was a fly to Paskert. A moment later,
however the spectators gave the great
est demonstration offered, making the at
mosphere fairly tremble with the din of
their shouts and hand clapping when Iris
Speaker drove the ball down the right
field foul line for three bases, putting
different complexion on the game. Again
the crowd burst into frenzy when Hob
by drove deep to Paskert and Speaker
scampered across the plate on the sacri-
flee with a tying run.
Leonard stopped Burns hard drive with
one hand and followed that by tossing
out Alexander. The crowd was aghast
with fear when Speaker stepped out Of
the way of Stocks drive, as he was the
second time blinded by the sun. but
their fear changed to hope and joy when
Hooper raced across the field and caught
the ball in front Of iris. Through the
Red SoXs half of the fifth inning Alex
ander controlled the situation. retiring
Gardner, Barry and Carrigan on outfield
flies.
The Philly fans again came to the fore
when Bancroft, who had driven in the
Philles' run In the third came TO the
bat. They cheered him long and loud
to the intield. When Paskert and Cravath
went out on easy rollers Boston fans
cheered Leonard.
Leonard died on strikes. Alex raced
across to first and took Luderus throw
that retired Hooper. Scott fouled to
Burns
Following the Philly custom, the Fitch
burg delegation stood up at the beginning
of the seventh. waving their blue banners
while their private band played Where
the River Shannon Flows" They con-
tinued their demonstration until Luderus
had struck out for the third successive
time. Boston fans gave Leonard as great
an ovation in the seventh inning as they
had given Speaker on his three-base
drive when the crafty southpaw famed
I.uderus and Niehoff and retired Whitted
on q grounder.
Iris Speaker brought the crowd TO it's
feet when he made his second hit, a hot
single TO left field. The fans hopes fell
when Speaker and Hoblitzell were dou-
bled up on the latters attempted sac
rifice.
When Lewis beat out a slow roller his
second hit OF the game, he was given a
round of applause. Cravath raced back
in right field, taking Gardner's fly for
the third out. To change the luck. Pat
Moran took his station at third base at
the beginning OF the eighth
Alexander was applauded heartily.
Bancroft grimly took his position at the
bat in the beginning OF the ninth lie
smashed one down at Gardner, but was
thrown out and Red Soxdom was again
relieved. constant buzz was heard from
the Phillies' dugout when Paskert went
up, but he died on fly in front of the
plate and the Boston bleachers cheered
Leonard to the echo. As Cravath was
thrown out two bands began playing in
different sections of the stand, the root
ers rose and Harry Hooper was applauded
