National League Grounds, Phila- delphia, Oct. 8.—The Great Alexander won the first game of the world ser- ids this afternoon after a stirring bat- itle with “Ernie” Shore, score 3 to 1. The score was tied up to the eighth ifhing when the Red Sox twirler weakened and the Phillies touched him up, aided by misjudgment on the part of Scott. Prior to the game Manager Moran was presented with a handsome silver cup from his Philadelphia followers, 4 r the depressing uncertainty of ght and the early hours of to- ~@ay the announcement from the Na- tional commission that despite a wet and soggy field the champion Phillies of the National league, and the vic- torious Boston Red Sox of the Ameri- can circuit would meet this afternoon In the first game of the world’s series brought unbounded joy to the thou- nmf followers of baseball here to writ the start of the 1915 battle for the highest honors of the game. : Rush for Park. The announcement came at 10:45 ¢'clock and there was an immediate rush for the Philliles’ park at Broad and Huntington streets—the smallest Laseball enclosure in either major league, which early gave promise of clgse resemblance to a carefully packed sardine box when play was begun. The bleacher seats were thrown open at 11 o’clock and here 8,500 of the royal rooters of the game found accommodations at $1 a head. The more exclusive holders of reserved seat privileges were late in reaching , grounds and noon found only a gcattering in the double decked grandstand. Get Field in Condition. From early morning the Phillies’ groundskeeper and his assistants were busy on the playing field. Up to 10 p’clock it seemed a game would hardly be possible, but another half hour of wok and an unexpected breaking away of the gloomy clouds influenced the decision of the umpires to recom- mend that the series start on schedule time. "By noon the soaked and slippery base paths had been covered with a top coat of dry dirt ang sand. The cher’'s box was in pretty bad shape “ue the ground on either side of e plate was little less than a quag- mire. Outfield in Fair Shape, The grassy outfield was in b4 jape, the sun Wwas assisting FRoundskeeper in his efforts to put e diamond in safe condition, but fhere was much speculation as to the iffect of the slow fleld upon the game. [ The Boston players have from the § claimed a certain superiority in fair the ! inspected l'edge for the battle. tage was certain to be minimized by the rain-soaked grounds. The players of both teams, however, were just as glad as the fans that there was to be no delay in getting the series under way. Home Players Appear. At 12:40 p. m, the home players made their appearance and received a roisy greeting from the bleacherites, the grandstand still being but a pic- ture of empty benches. B 'The Phillies made a careful inspec- tion of the fleld. The ground in front of the players’ benches was almost ankle deep in mud. Alexander Gets Greeting. Grover Cleveland Alexander, idol of the Philadelphia fans, and the hope ! of the home team in the series, got a special greeting when he was recognized carefully muffled up in a blue sweater coat. ‘‘Alex” made his way direct to the pitcher’s box and it minutely, Apparently satisfled he proceeded to the home bench. The Phillies wore their regu- ar white home uniforms. Most of them gave evidence of a recent visit to the laundry. The entire Philadelphia pitching staff with the exception of Alexander soon started to loosen up their arms. At one time eight pitchers with as many receivers were at work. Gasoline Set on Fire, Shortly before 1 o'clock gasoline was spread along the base paths and set on fire in a further effort to dry out the ground. The flames leaped fifty feet in the air and a huge cloud of black smoke rolled skyward. The heat could be felt in the stands. While the “burning out’ was in progress Alexander engaged in batting practice down the right field foul line. Red Sox Appear, The Red Sox reached the park at 12:50 and there was a momentary cheer for the visitors, who straggled in a few at a time. The batting practice was sharp, and the Boston players tried out the range on the short right field fence. Mays served up the benders for Bos- ton’s batting practice while Demaree tock the pitching mound when the Plillies took their turn at sighting the different ranges of the field. Fielding Practice Fast. Though the infield was sodden with the heavy.rain, the fielding practice of both the Bostons and Philadel- phias was surprisingly fast. The Boston outflelders gave especial at- tention to ‘trying bounsling balls from the short outfield fences. The left fielder had the sun in his eyes and Duffy Lewis wore smoked glasses. During the practice Alexander of the Philadelphias and Shore of the Bos- tons warmed up on the side lines. The stands at 1:45 o'clock were practically filled. Down off third base the Royal Rooters with an in- dustrious brass band ' kept things lively. The photographers were busy as I bird dogs running around the field snapshooting players and the umpires were lined up at the home plate. Carrigan Sure of Victory. The players of both teams are on With the excep- tion of Killifer, the Phillies’ star cutcher, who is nursing an injured arm, all of Moran’s players appear to be in prime condition. After an ex- amination of Killifer's arm yesterday hy a specialist it was said there is but ght chance for his getting in the series. Manager Carrigan declared that his men are fit and going to win. “We've £ot a tough bird in Alexander,” he added, “but we've been looking over tough birds all year. One thing T am counting on strong for my boys js that they have not fallen down once when we needed a series to come through.” 7he Phillies’ leader, while expressing confidence in coming out victorious in 1he series, declined to make any pre- | Gictions. “I hope we will win," said Moran. “The boys put their heart {and soul into bringing the pennant to I'hiladelphia and they will strive just ias hard to win the world's title. 1 | Enow that nearly all the experts pick | the Red Sox to win, but this does not | initre us in the least.

(Special to the Herald.) Plainville, Oct. 8.—Albert Griffin is in a serious condition at the New Britain General hospital as the re- sult of injuries sustained this after- noon, when in attempting to stop a pair of horses which he was driving from running away he was dragged under a heavily loaded wagon, the wheels passing over his chest. Griffin had stopped the team while he went into a store to make a pur- chase. During his absence the horses bolted and started away.

It is feared that the man was injured internally. He was rushed to the hospital. The team is owned by W. W. Benstead of Scott's Swamp for whom Griffin was employed. $10,000 FOR COUNSEL, Judge Tuttle Allows Sum For Attor- neys for Bank Receivers.

Petrograd, Oct. 8, via London, 2:06 P. m.—Bulgaria's reply to the Russian ultimatum was transmitted in the Bulgarian language notwithstanding the fact that Russian is the traditional tongue in intercourse among the Slavic countries. The- message i§ described here as “hold, to the verge of insolence.” In substance, Bulgaria denies German officers are in the staffs of the Bul- garian armies, but says that if they are- present that fact concerns only Bulgaria, which reserves the right to invite whomsoever it likes. Regard- ing acceptance of financial assistance from Germany, Bulgaria maintains the right to make loans wherever it pleases. As to the demand that rela- tions be broken with the ‘“‘enemies of Slavdom,” the Bulgarian government asserts it is its privilege to choose friends to suit itself and join with any group it prefers.

S. Aviators Also Scouting and Raiding on French Line. Paris, Oct. 8, 11:15 A. M. Seven American volunteer aviators took part in aerial reconnaissances in the battle of Champagne. They are Lieutenant William. Thaw, Pittsburg; Sergeant Elliot C. Cowdin, New York; Sergeant Norman Prince, Boston; D, G, Mas- son, San Francisco; Bert Hall, Bowl- ing Green, Ky.; James J. Bach, New York; H. G. Gehring. Five more American airmen are scouting and raiding on other parts of the French line, and eleven are in training in an aviation school.

The agitated father told the police that on several occasions he has been compelled to warn Gugliano to keep away from his house and cease show- ing attentions to his daughter, but he does not think that his warnings have been heeded. TO RECOGNIZE CARRANZA. Believed U- Will - Uphold Chief” of Mexico. Washington, Oct. 8.-—Indications today on the eve of the conference of the Pan-American diplomats are that the Carranza government in Mexico will receive early recognition from the United States. The only thing that can stand in the way of recog- nition it is believea would be some development to complicate the situa- tion. Recognition, if accorded, would be based upon statements to the United States government from Carranza au- thorities showing his military su- premacy in Mexico and promises of protection to foreigners and their property and assurances of amnesty to political prisoners and of religious freedom to all. “First STRIKERS POSTING TOWNS. to Other » Put Up.
