Reulbach Has Lot of Stuff on Ball,
But Has Hard Time Controllinp \

Reulbach either is very good or very
bad. Yesterday it appeared he had hit
one of those rare mediums, where he
was Just middling all along. He had
q lot of stuff on the ball, but he had
difficulty in controlling it. More OFTEN
than not the behemoth was in the hole
to batters and had to groove the ball.
And for a club that is locked IN lie
and death grspple, q club that had so
many openings against an unsteady
HEAVIER, one conclusion and only one
may be drawn from the ultimate issue
of the double-header here to-day;
Philadelphia is plainly depressed
through the loss of Shortstop Dave
Bancroft. 1t is general depression
that is likely TO wipe out season $
plucky effort before another shutdown:
The home crowd is an infalllble
gauge of teams temper. The Phila-
delphia crowd failed TO rejoice IN
Alexander's great triumph. As the
champion pitcher reeled off his thirty
third victory and his sixteenth shut
out of the year the spectators failed
once TO rise to anything approxlmating
enthusiasm.
To one who followed the mad root
ing of the Giant following through
McGraw's mad dash 70 his record. the
Philadelphia fans appeared cold almost

been plenty of noise and rumpus. The

RED SOX EASE
UP, BUT DEFEAT
THE MACKMEN
Shore Pitches HitlesS Ball and
Then Gives Way to
Jones.
By BRIGGS

Boston, Oct. With the pennaSt
day, but nevertheless defeated Phila-
delphia to 2. Il was hitless shut
out during the five innings that Ernest
Shore pitched for the world champions.
Shore was then relieved by Jones. in
pursuance of Manager Carrigan's policy
Of giving the pitchers whom he will
call upon in the world series only
enough work to keep them in condition.
Most of the other Red Sox regulars
were kept in for only part of the game,
and after the sixth inning the lineup
had seven substitutes, including the
veteran Heiniej Wagner, now employed
as coach. Their playing presented an
indication of the strength of the Bos-
ton reserves.
The probability that Captain Jack
Barry, who has been out of the game a
month with a broken hand, would be
able to pla.' in the big series developed
with his appearance at practice. He
favored the hand in catching, but threw
with considerable strength. George
Foster, the convalescent pitcher, also
tossed a few balls in practice to-day.
lie is still weak.
The Boston players abandoned Fen
way Park as their home grounds with
to-day's game, arrangements having
been completed to play a double header
with Philadelphia tomorrow at Braves
Field, the grounds of the National
League here, which the Red SOx will
use during the worlds series.
The Red Sox were in good batting
form to-day. Gardeners double and his
sacrifice fly accounted for two of the
scores. It was not until the seventh
inning that Philadelphia could break
through Boston's defence, and then,
with Jones pitching, Strunk's single.
Schang's double and an inheld out sent
in the Athletics two runs. The game
was the fastest played here this season,
covering one hour and sixteen minutes.
The scores follow:

You may know without asking that
Alexander featured the shutout. 1t was
the sixteenth time this season the big
fellow BANKED the enemy. While TINS
piece of heavy ordnance was in action
Moran's old guard displayed all that
dash, all that fight and all that resoiu-
ton which carried them to victory over
an ordinary field year ago.
After the trump ace had raked in the
first trick it was something else again.
There was not the same jaunty conf
dence behind Al Demaree. The Steamer
pitched a good game; very, very good
game. Not quite so good as that OF
Alexander, but good enough to win for

MelOdrama.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

That blood-curdling melodrama, "Who
Cops the Swag?" is now approaching q
definite climax in the National League.
This melodrama, which is a curtain
raiser TO that sparkling comedy, Along

the 18th Of April without unfolding the
plot.
But the big punch, wherein the hero
is crowned and the villain is smeared,
may now pop out at any moment. 1t

Robins persist in slamming the Giants
again while the Braves are splitting an
other double header with the Phlllles.
This would not end the race any more
than stone walls make prison or iron
bars make a cage, but, as in the case OF
the latter two incidents, 1t would help
an awful lot.
A lead of one complete game is not
always conclusive evidence. But lead

GRAY HAIR BECOMES

lustre to the hair when faded. streak

ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any

large bottle for about so cents Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a. time; by morn

another application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark thick and
