How- ver, it is likely to be pitching that vill decide the big series, and in that we the Red Sox will have a de- ided edge on their National league edversaries. Moran has Alexander a® his mainstay and will call upon him to bear the brunt of the work- Alec will probably pitch in = three games if the serles goes to six games and if he can win every start, as his admirers expect him to, the Phil- lies' chances of copping will be ex- ceedingly bright. However, the 1F in this case looks very large when one considers that to gratify the ex- pectation of his admirers, Alec will probably have to - vanquish the Red Sox’s best, Leonard, Shore, Foster and Shore, Leonard, Foster and Wood, Four Obstacles in Way of Alexander’s Capture of Big World’s Series Wood. While not one of the Carri- | gan quartet can compare with Alex ander, still they are, all four of them, far above the average in twirling effi- ciency, and even Alec would have ac- chieved something if he could take the measure of all. If the Philadel- phia star does carry through his part of the program to a successful con- clusion he will have earned his right to the title of the greatest pitcher of all time. Layout shows Alexander on right, Joe Wood in center and Georse Foster on left, ~arded as “Young"” Fulton but whose real name was “Kid” Damifino or something like that. The “mill"” went until the third round when the ‘“‘near fighter” feeling that he had enough took a “flop” on the mat after one of Joe's right smashes had connected sgquarely on his “mush.” He rose in a few seconds but Chief Rawlings who was at the ringside waved to the referee and the ‘“bout” terminated. There never was & minute that the “boxer” from the “Big City"” was in the mill and after Joe had solved his particular style, he being a southside fighter, it was simply a parade for the Capital Cityite. The substitution for Fulton was another one of the tricks pulled off by the ‘“slickers” from New York, but to this city they might as well bid adieu, farewell. Hold Your Nose. Since boxing has been pulled off in this ecity, it seems to have been the intention of the matchmakers to give the fans cne of those side split- ting atrocities called the curtain rais- ers, in which local boys featured. To this end the management last evening carried out its intentions for in put- M. T. WHITE & CO.

Educa- tion in boxing is the thing that has ben sadly overlaoked by this pair, for their movements and antics were | of such a nature, that it is likely that the only rudiments that they have acquired are the wearing of tights and boxing gloves. At times Pichot resembled the mysterious Kel- lar in his acts of slight of hand, by waving his hands in front of his op- ponent's face, as if he was about to hypnotize him. To those who have never seen “Ted” Coy or other foot- ball stars make scme of their won- derful tackles on the gridiron, all they have got to do is to watch Down- ham in action, for instead of blocking as a regular fighter, he grabs his opponent about the waist and hangs on for dear life. slow according to Pichot who in the fourth round yelled at his opponent, “'Come on, come on,” and Downham did as ordered and planted several alleged blows in the face of Pichot. There seemed to be somewhat un- pleasantness between the fighters, it must still exist for no damage was done last night other than to their feelings. A crowd of about 750 was in at- tendance and at times it grew bois- terous, and Chief Rawlings was forced to warn Referee Willis that if it did not stop he would stop the show.

The Red Men were the class | of the Fraternal league and it was | with ease that they grabbed first | place early in the season and re- | . mained out in front throughout the | . race- Much of thelr success was due to their heavy hitting and their excellent staff of pitchers.
