Mack’s i Soryuamhuhsts | Boston, Oct. 3.—With the pennant won the Boston Americans eased up vesterday, but nevertheless defeated Philadelphia, 1 to 2. It was a hitiess shutout during the five innings that Ernest Shore pitche@ for the world’s champions. He was | then relieved by in pursuance | of Manager Carrigan’s policy of giv- ing the pitcher whom he will call |upon in the world’s series only enough work to keep them in cop- dition.

Their playing pre- sented an indication of the strengdth of the Boston reserves. The proba- bility that Capt. Jack Barry, who has | been out of the game a month with !'a broken hand, would be able to play in the big series, developed with his appearance at practice. He favored the hand in catching, but threw with considerable strength. George Fas- | ter, the convalescent pitcher, also tossed a few balls in practice. He is still weak 4 "he Boston players abandoned Fen- y Park as their home grounds with the game, arrangements having been completed to play a double-header with Philadelphia today at Braves Field, the grounds of the Nationfl league here, which the Red Sox will use during the world’s series this vear and which was the scene of their world's series exploits here last year. The change was made, to give the Red Sox a chance to become famiiiar with conditions at Braves Field. The Red Sox were in good batting form. Gardner’s double and his sac- rifice fly accounted for two of the scores. It was not until the seventH inning that Philadelphia could break through Boston’s defence, and théh, with Jones' pitching, Strunk’s single, Schang's double and an.infleld out sent in their two runs.

Spurt for First Division. New York, Oct. 3.—A vast number of persons seem to be only mildly in- terested whether or not the Yanks finish in the first division. They had beeri away from the Harlem pasture so long that some folks thought they were perfect strangers. Bill Dono- | van’s brave lads blew in from Bos- | ton on Sunday night to close the gate on the Ame: an league season n he greater city, and in closing it thy must win three straight from Was ington to close themselves within t | bounds of the first division. Should the Yankees win two out § three from the Senators they wi! finish the season on the fence, wi | one leg in the first division and the other in the second. In other words, they will be tied with the Browns | for fourth place. As the Yanks have I been in the second division since Hec- tor was a pup, Donovan is very anx- ious to get both legs over the fence. Bob Shawkey, Wild Bill's man Fri- day, was sent to the firing line to win the first game of the Yankees' “crucial series.” Bob made a pretty job of it, and held the Washingtons to a pair of hits, winning easily by a score of 5 to 1.
