Brooklyn, Oct. II. - There was just
as much difference between the pitch
ing yesterday and that of Monday as
there is between sun up and sun down
In the second game in Boston Ruth
and Smith battled through fourteen in
nings of super pitching with all the
skill of seasoned veterans, but to-day
Jack Coombs and Carl Mays had to
quit under the fire and of the two
who succeeded them Big jeff Pfeffer
worked to much better advantage than
did George Foster.
The cold brisk wind which swept
over the field chilling the spectators
and causing the utility players to bun
die up in great coats and sweaters
may have had something to do with
the ineffectiveness of Coombs and
Mays. and then again the change of
facing two right handlers after looking
at the speedy southpaw deliveries of
Ruth and Smith the day before may
have been the needed tonic the two
clubs needed to slit open their batting
optics.

Many Women See Games at
Chestnut Street Auditorium

Another large crowd including 200
women witnessed the third game in
the Worlds series at the Chestnut
Street Auditorium yesterday after
noon. In offering smoking privileges
to the patrons Manager George w. Nc
1lhenny scored a big hit with the fans.
A section OF the big hall has been re-
served for the women who attend and
the smoking does not annoy them.
The Renter electric board is some-
thing new in Harrisburg, but according
to reports is one of the best inven-
tions for reproducing baseball games.
Every player in the lineup is shown
distinctly and when he comes up to
bat the spectators know who is at the
plate without the necessity for waiting
for a second flash to tell them. Foul
strikes, and other features seen in
every game are given promptly and
accurately. The series is still on.
Games start every afternoon at 2
o'clock.
