right wall, but Hooper sent two into
the center field stands and Lewis
pushed one to the same place. Cra
vath failed to locate the barriers with
his best efforts. He was pitched to
intelligently. In Boston, where the
fields are deep, therSox hurlers pitch
ed so he hit long flies that were gob
bled. And in Philadelphia they put
the ball where it was impossible for
Cactus to loft it to the walls."
The best pitcher in the National
league met the Red Sox twice, win
ning once and losing dne. He was
no remarkable puzzle. For despite
all averages and claims made for
Alex, there are one or two pitchers in
the American league who are his
equal. They would have had dizzy
averages, also, if they had been pit
ted against such soft opposition as
any good pitcher could have found
in the parent organization this past
season.
There was no upset to the ultimate
result, for it was won by baseball's
best team of the year over the full
stretch of the season. The same
statement cannot go unchallenged
about last year.
And this series should- dispose of
the insinuations that the Red Sox are
yellow and disposed to crack when
the opposition fights back. They took
four games in a row after being licked
in the opener. Yesterday they were
twice two runs behind, but. fought to
a lead. And in the two big engage
ments of the regular season they re
pulsed the White Sox and Tigers un
der the most trying circumstances.
The Red Sox are world's cham
pions and deserve the honor.
