Quakers Weak with Willow, But the hard-working, earnest Na- tional leaguers again showed _their weakness at the bat. “Dutch” Leon- ard let them down with two hits and Speaker gave them another, bringing their total for the game to three and their total for the three games of the series to eleven. The defensive work of the Phillies speaks for itself when in the face of this light hitting they are credited with one victory and have been defeated twice only by the mar- gin of a single run. Big Trio Shine at Bat. Again today one member of the Red Sox made as many hits as the entire opposition, including _the ft by Speaker. It was “Dufty on Seturday. This Speaker made two hits today, one of which was a three bagger which brought the Sox from behind and put them an even. terms with the Phillies. Speaker gave every evidence of coming into his own to- 2% | @2y and it was not to be wondered at that Alexander took no chances with him in the ninth inning rally that brought a sudden end to angther game that threatened to go to extra innings. Besides Lewis and _Speaker, - Harry Hooper was_the ‘only other member of the Red-hosed clan wno connected sately with the jumping curves _and mweeping slants fired by the wonder- flinger of the Phillles. But Hoopers hit came in the ninth, when it was needed mo: Lednard Tight in Pinches. Old “Dutch” Leonard, port-sider, off-hand heaver, unbecoming of count- enance but brave of heart, steady of nerve and determined of spirit, resi- dent of Fresno, Calif, where the sun- % [shines warm, was the third of tne great staff of Red Sox pitchers to take his turn against the invaders of Bok- ton town today. Leonard had nothing but speed, a fine change of . a curve that seemed to jump first one way and then another and had the safe effect on the Philly batsiften and 54 | & control that gave no man a speak- ing acquaintance with the initial bag. Twice “Dutch” was in a predicament suggestive of his Teutonic title, two solld swats coming off him Ui the same inning, but he wiggled away from the doom that seemed Impending and was crowned tonight with the laurels of victory. ~With one out, one run over and runners perched on third ang second in the third inning, it was no place for & mervous pitcher when Paskert came tp the plate and “Home Run” Cravath swinging two bats In impatience to be the next man up. Barry Saves the Game. But “Dutch” was not to be scored on again. Among the eight enter- prising young men struggling behind him for the honor of Boston and the American League, was faithful old “Jack” Barry, already tried and prov- d in the fire of more than e score of world series contests. Alexander himself was on third base and Ban- croft on second. “Alex” had been running in his deep blue sweater, but when he got to third and was hop- ing for home, he cast the sweater to the side lines and prepared for the sprint The Boston infleld was drawn close within the diamond and the situation was tense. A base hit would mean three runs for. Alexander to work un- der and there was not a fan in the forty odd thousand who did not be- lieve in his heart of hearts that such a_margin meant sure victory for the wvisitors. There was a wide gap of safe terri- tory between the men of the inner defense and the three fielders on out- #ARERAVILE e R EREFERERRER vz xEggeie L L ggd. 4 FHH AAsrAeaAgEHESE !Es,;fi “8 %9y o o £) » 3% Enusuzeg £ 3 futs A it £ 35 £ ;§=§ ; £ ] gl i ‘E PR EEEH 2333 LLEY o 258! i Philadelphia base runners respected it.

So much for those well- known breaks of the game. Leonard Gets Better as Game Advances Failure in-this third isning to place themselves in a winning position seem- ed to take the life out of the visitors and they never were'dangerous again. Leonard got better und better as the game progressed. Neither Cravath nor Luderus, the heavy Philly artillery, could connect for a safe blow. In fact Luderus, second batsman of the Na- tional league, was about the easiest person “Dutch” had to deal with. Three times “Ludy” faced the star left hander and three times he fanned the air, . There was no fluke about the strikeouts, no questioning of an um- pire’s decision. Luderus- took three healthy swings every chance he got, but his best effort was a foul into the back standa. ‘The scene at the park today when the play began, was one that will live long in the memory of the fortunate thousands who witnessed it. Braves' field, home of the Boston. National league club; and lent to the Sox for the present gala occasion, is the big- gest and most beautiful baseball plant ever constfucted. Built like a stadium, its single-decked stands rise from the field level to a towering height. The stands all but surround the vast play- ing fleld and today they were jammed with a happy throng. Between the several stands are concrete runway These offered vantage ground today for hundreds of spectators, wedged in the openings iike 0 many apples in a barrel. They did not seem to have breathing room and some could get but a distant glimpse of some part of the game, but they stood fast and not a man deserted until the strenuous game was done. The far fences were sought out by scores of fans who had bought standing room for deep center fleld, where as yet no bleachers had been bullt or needed. It was a veritable wave of human- ity which rose and fell at Intervals and roared with a crash of noise re- sembling storm-breakers on a_rock- bound coast. Overhead the sky was a radfant dome of blue in which was studded a warm October sun. Beyond the far center fleld wall could be seen the Charles river, rippling under the influence of a soft autumn breeze. It was a day to be remegbered for itself alone, jay to be out of doors, cap by the climax that was sweetest of all to the forty thousand there—the home team won. Shore May Oppose Chalmers Today.

Chalmers R kS the one to mount the hill and face the booming battering sticks of the Sox. Red Sox Overcome Greatest Obstacle. Considered from all the angles that €0 to make up a dall game, todey’s contest was the best of the series to te. ‘While the rival forecast is correct or mnot, the fact remains that the Phillles’ best twirl- ing card has apparently lost his terrors So far as the American league repre- sentatives are concerned. The members of the Carrigan were confident after the defeat of Friday that they would be able to beat Alexander on his next time out. They proved their contention today, but only after a ditter battle. Alexander pitch- ed almost a t ball, backed as he was by the spiendid defense of the Phillies, until the final inning. In the crisis he first yielded to Speaker and then found his master in Lewis, the hitting sensation of the series. Ninth. Inning a Tense Situation. Up to this point “Alex” had been reached for but five hits. Then at the beginning of the ninth Hooper made his first hit of the game. Scott sacri- ficed him to second and Alexander pur- posely walked Speaker, evidently fig- uring a force out and perhaps a dou- ble play on Hoblitzell. The latters hard drive to Niehoft resulted in Hob- litzell going out at first, but the dam- age was done, for with Hooper on third and Lewis at bat, Alexander faced a situation tense emough to try the nerves of any pitcher. Lewis with four hits to his credit against Alex- ander in the two games the latter has pitched, was not a bit disturbed by the climax that confronted him or the spin that the twirler put on the ball He promptly smashed the first ball pitched through second = sco: Hooper and obtaining a batting aver- e of 625 against Alexander. is, In addition to being the bat- ting hero of the series up to this time, has proved to be Alexander's Nemesis. He has gained more hits off the latter’s delivery than any other member of the Red Sox batting band. Jeonard a Mystery. Leonard was & mystery tosthe Phil- Mes. His wide sweeping curves and cross fire delivery repeatedly fooled slightest attempt on the part of the batters to connect with it. When they did hit the sphere, the result was a high fly in a majoriy of cases which went as an out for the fielders. These chances were frequently of.the most difficult character and to the excellent and in some instances the sensational catches by his outfield belongs much of the credit for Leonard’s three-hit t the defensive work of the combination forming a _handicap sufficlent to dazsle the best. fielders in the game.
