William K. Baker's cramped quarters

narrow doors and up t tie narrow,
crooked stairs. The old ftshlonsd Matl

forma and Bp! lit! of their o.rupanta
The gloomy stands seemed to run out
Into the playing Held la menace the ac

been built in on the foul apscsi whor
ev. r there was I he lea st room or ex
ruse for one
That Sid lit of gpofttvs falrnssi ho
charactoristh of American manhood rs
belled, perhaps, at oheerlne; Alexander
da to undeserved victory, tfhort out-
pilchtd Alexander all the way. The
fact Saj evident to the verient novtre.
In ttch of the Rral eight Inning Monton
got a Clean hit off the illuatrioua maater
of t he pitching raft. A few s rat. li
Ingleej, lueklly hunehed where thsy
would prove most damaging, proved the
undoing of Shore. Shore pitched one
of the most heartful games of any
World! series. Only three tlfPASj was
the bdll hit out of the infield against
him. Uhd was a single by I'askert,
Wtlleh paved the way to Philadelphia's
lirat run but Which flobliiell tlppOa with
his mitt on a desperate try. The othern
were comparatively easy flies for Speaker
and Hooper respe'tlvrly.
In the estimation of the expert Shore
might have won deaplte all the tanta
lizing breaks Iti the luck but. for the
unfortunate mistakes of Hohlltzell and
Scott. The former waa trapped flat
footed off first base for the third out
of the Mrat inning. Hoofier, who had
singled, was Ofl third at the time, with
every rhanee in hia favor to assist
Hoblitrall Iti some baae running strategy.
Lewis, at bat, opened the following In
ning with a clean hit. the first of 'hia
two off Alexander the reat. Alexander
nt th's particular moment was plainly
flurried Me hoi not settled to his reg
ular game. He did not aettle until
after hl mites had given htm a run.
The other Instanre of mental aber
ration was a defe naive Instead of an
offensive miscalculation it spoiled one
of the modi IttpSfb plays ever seen in
any game and paved! the way to the
Ph ill tea' two and winning runs in the
eighth if Tit nr. after Boston had Juet
tld. Stork had walked, with one out,
when Banrroft hit a terrifV drive to
the left of the pltOtter. Barry aped over
behind aocond baae. very deep, for a
barehanded stop. But when h turned
to throw for a for e play on Stock, io
and btholdi Shortafop Sentt. enthralled
by a pl.iy on what he had mentally
Calculated H sure base hit. had forgotten
to rover until too late.
A play almoti as merltorloue as
Barry's had been delivered In the pre
vious half of the inning by 'entre Fielder
Pask. rt of the home team, yet It elicited
a small response In eoniparlson to
Barry's gem. Undoubtedly Paakert's
great catch blorked a mighty fine
chance of Boston to hammer out victory
Instead of -imply tying the SOOTS. Hob
IttSell, who had Just driven home Boa
tons run. was on flrat with two out.
i a rdnef Squarely met one of Alexan
der's fast pitches, starting it midway
between Paskeri and Whit ted. The
centre fielder sped uuh kly bark with the
impart of bat against ball. Without
once faltering he managed to reach the
hall on his last desperate stride and
clung firmly to it deaplte hia mad ca
rver. The crowd refused to rome out of Ha
diffidence for this redeeming play of
Paskert. Yet a few moment later It
hotted HS tirst real outburst of entbu
alasm over Barry's play. Perhaps the
superb execution of the grim faced sec
ond baseman of the Red Sox awoke
some sympathetic chord In memory of
the past glories of PonntO Mack's $100,
AOQ Infield The Quaker eighth inning
approached eomewbai the approved
proportions of world's series OXCttOtJItnt

Philadelphia saw Its oily real rooting
The playing Rsld was heavy and
scarred here and there by Are, for the
management had burned oil to dry out
the diamond Hummel1! Veteran Corps
band waa early on the acene but It did
not blare forth any unusual defiance in
brass There was Jam neither within
nor without that taxed the good nature
o the city police on hand in profusion,
deiplte t hi late unpleasantness between
the chief and WiUiam F. Baker
The Royal Rooters from Boston cre
ated a mild flurry of excitement when
they marched into the park about 1 ;30.
just before the it..i Box took their prac
tice, Their cheer loader, dressed in red
snd equipped with a musical "imtato,"
led in thit harmonious battle cry of
Pcaaie" that ha been the war ODQg of
the Huh sin. e LtOl. The Boston rooter,
carried Bed BOS pennant! of red and
blue and furnished the only Ht Hklng ra
lief to the otherwise sombre atanda. Not
Utlttl the last Bed Sox batter had been
retired did one of them give up hope
And then they cheered the vanquished
us lustily is they COUM have been ex
pected to cheer victors.
The foul umpires, Kb-m. CVLotlghltn,
Rlgler and Kvona. filed out of the Boston
dugout live minutes before 2 o'-doek. The
game was delayed Iri spite of this prompt
appearance, however, in order that the
customary rites and reremonles might lie
obser ed A flock of photographers
napped the ofliials singly and in
groups They sna pped ( 'arrlgun and
Moran in that old stereotyped act of
handshaking- They photographed the
National Commission box and its cru
panls. And when thev got all through
the oflirial movie man had to go through
the same procedure The umpires were
quite as impressive as the triumvirate
They WArt ringed out In brand new scen
ery, blue serge suits and blue silk caps.
Which stood out in bold contrast to the
battle scarred habllaments of the rival

hand of welcome to every popular hem

roir when Old Cactus shook hands with
the catcher on his first time up. Alex

by tht visitors on hit flrst trip to the
plate and responded with the first hit
off Shore. For that be WOS cheered to

modest T Cobb, escape his meed of re -srsncs
When he nonchalantly speared
a Wicked foul tip that hurtled back Into
the preti box.
One little incident which may or may
not have a great hearing on the final
Issue perhaps escaped general observa

At best II is more or less the nature Of

PHILAMLHttA, 'N'l. Manager Tat

of the Red BOS would be dtsaairoti! to
