PHILS, OUTPLAYED, WON ON PEP
AND THAT OLD FIGHTING SPIRIT
Boston Red Sox Had Best of It in Team Play and Pitch
ing, But the Phillies Were There With the
Punch at Critical Times
"Outlucked" is the cry of the Iced Sox fans; but outKamcd would be a
far more Adequate way of expressing the defeat of the American League
champions at the hands of the Phillies in the- first nnmo of the world's scries.
The Phillies came back after the lied Sox had tied up tho score In tho
eighth Inning nnd won tho game through the Inexperience, and poor field
ing of Krnle Shore. The Phillies, after starting nervously and without their
usual confidence, found themselves toward the end of the game. They are
now absolutely confident that they have tho lied Sox bentcn.
Uoston passed up a wonderful opportunity In the first Inning of the
battle, and they never regained tho spirit they showed at tho start of tho
game. When play began tho Uoston team was cool and apparently much
at home, while the Phils were nervous. Uut beforo the gumc was over con
ditions were reversed, and today they nre heavy fnvorltes to win tho series.
Alexander Will Be Invincible Next Time
Alexander was put to the test for tho flist time, and ho came through
his Initial big scries game without faltering, nnd probably will Improve upon
yesterday's work In his next nppenranco against tho American League
champions.
The Red Sox missed their chance In the llrst Inning nnd thereafter the
confidence was lacking, and Instead of Improving ns tho game went on, the
spirit nnd ginger of tho team waned. Some nre Inclined to believe that the
Red Sox ore duo to bat Alexander hard on his next appearance, basing the
prediction on tho ability of Cnrrlgan's men to find tho Phllly star for eight
clean hlts'yosterday, but they are duo for a surprise. The next time tho Red
Sox face Alexander they will find him In far better form than ho was in
yesterday.
m
It Was Really An Off Day for "Alex"
It may seem strange thnt n pitcher who holds his opponents to ono run
In a world's series game was not at IiIh best; but such was the case with
Alexander In the opening game. He was not In his usual form, nnd the
Red Sox might have won had they not lnckcd ginger nnd tho punch.
The curve ball thnt hns baffled National League batsmen wns not break
ing as well as usual, while Alexander's control was far from good. "Alex"
Issued only two bases on balls, both being given to Speaker, because tho
big Ncbraskan did not want to take a chance on grooving a ball after he wns
In the hole. Nevertheless, do did not have good enough control to keep out
of trouble.
Boston Had the Chance, But Failed
In almost every Inning Alexundcr Wurkcd himself Into a hole with one
or two batsmen, because his curve ball was not breaking properly. For
tunntely for the Phillies, Alexander's nerve nnd cunning came to his rescue
when it seemed ns If the Red Sox would surely score, and Inning nfter inning
ho pulled out of tight places.
Boston's great chance came In the first Inning, when a poor play by Hob
lltzel destroyed the valuo of a flying start. Hoblltzel was on first, with Hooper
on third, when Alexander, with a snap throw, picked the former off und spoiled
a promising rally. At this stnge Alexander wns worried, while his teammates
had absolutely no ginger Hut nfter this poor work by Hoblltzel the Phillies
awakened and for tho rest of the battle outgamed the Boston machine.
Very Uninteresting Game But
Neither team played like champions, and it was really one of the most
uninteresting Barnes ever played hero In a world's series until tho closing
Innings, when tho Red Sox came back and scored on the Phillies. Then the
crowd became wildly excited. The fans were worried because the Red Sox
were finding Alexander for a hit each Inning, and all of them were clean cut.
They figured that tho hitting was due entirely to the clubbing ability of tho
Red Sox and in no way to Alexander's ,la'ck of his usual form.
That "Alex" was off form was apparent from the stands. He plainly
showed that he was worried, na'he never before consumed so much time pre
paring to pitch to each batter If the Red Sox could score only one unearned
run oft Alexander In tba form he was in yesterday, their chance of beating
him will be slim. Indeed, when he is right.
I'hlls Chances Now Seem Much Better
Tie Phillies' chance of winning the world's championship looks fifty per
cent, better todny. They are over tho attack of stage fright, and proved In
the closing innings that they have more dash and aro a gamer team than the
Red Sox.
Almost every man on the team believes that the Red Sox will never face
Alexander again when ho Is off form, and they nre also convinced that "Alex"
can win three more games It necpssary. Boston's work wns disappointing.
They had little spirit, and, barring Barry, there va3 no life in the infield.
Break of the Game That Favored Phils
Perhaps the fact that they were facing the greatest hurler in tho game
might have had something to do with this attitude, but more than likely the
bad break by Hoblltzel In the first Inning had much to do with upsetting tho
Red Sox. Cateless and dumb baseball of this Bort has a bad effect on a team,
particularly In a short series.
The game was uninteresting until the closing innings because of the in
ability of the Phillies to hit Shore, who pitched a much better game than the
box score would Indicate. The Phillies had few chances to score, and there
was only one hard-hit ball' off the Red Sox youngster In tho entire game.
Alexander was outpltched.
.
Shore Pitched a Great Game
Lack of experience beat Shoro nnd ruined a grand exhibition. This same
lack of experience is likely to be a great handicap to the rest of the Boston
pitching staff during the series. Shore's rawness did not assert itself in pitch
ing to batteru, as ho was coot and a master throughout; but he has not been
tuught to field properly. This aided in his defeat.
The Phillies' first run was due to Shore's failure to field a slow bounder
through the box. Whltted, who hit the ball, beat Barry's throw, while Paskert
scored from third. In the eighth inning the Phillies' two runs were due
to Shore's wlldness, Scott's lack of judgment and another poor piece of field
ing by Shore.
Scott Really Lost Game for Boston
After Alexander had been retired in this Inning Stock drew a base on
balls. Bancroft then smashed a drive over second. Ordinarily the ball would
have gone Into centre Held, with Stock reaching third; but Jack Barry made
a wonderful one-handed stop and had a certain double play In front of him,
but Scott failed to cover the bag and both runners were safe.
Just what Scott was doing on this play is difficult to Imagine, as he
was moving over toward third instead of second as Barry speared the ball
Had he covered second a double play would have resulted and the side would
'have been retired without a run. This seemed to upset Shore, and he walked
Paskert on four straight balls. This filled the bases for Cravath, but the
best the great slugger could do was 'a Blow bounder toward short. The hit
berved the purpose, as Stock scored the winning run while Scott was throw
ing out Cravath.
The Phillies Were Outhlt But Won
Shore's second fizzle on Infield taps then occurred. Luderus hit a slow
one In front of the plate, but Shore over-ran the ball and the Phllly captain
got a hit, while Bancroft scored. These mlsplays, two of which could not be
counted errors, were responsible for all of tho runs scored by the Phillies and
lost Shore a heartbreaking game.
The Phillies made five hits off Shore, while the Red Sox found Alex
ander for eight. The eight hits made by Boston were clean-cut, but all of
those made by the rhlllles were tainted. One of them, Paskert'u short single
to right, was clean, but none of the others went out of the Infield.
Evidently, the estlmatintT ot the Philadelphia club for the world's series seat
ing arrtuwements wax faulty. The ofllcial attendance Ihrure did not reach
t,W0. yet the stands were full, with many standing In the rear of the grand
stnnd and bleachers.

SHAWNKE-O.V-DKLAWARK, Pa., Oct.

Ington, of tho homo club, lind to give
Halted three strokes, nnd the handicap
almost proved too much for him, ns he
only Jus pulled through on the 18th hole.
j It looked nearly nil up with Worthlng-
ton on the 17th, chero ho hnd to give
i hN opponent n stroke when Halsell wns
on the green In three, about 15 feet from
the cup. Worthlngton wns on tho green
In three nlso, but ho wns well nwny from
, tho hole. Kortunntely for him, however.
Instead of laying his approach putt dead,
which wnR nil he hoped to do. It fell Into
the cup. Hnlsoll did not get half way
I with his approach putt nnd fnlled to hole

Pnrrlsh made n fine recovery In his
match with Sheble. He wns two down

teenth Pnrrlsh got oft a good drive nnd
Sheble dubbed bis. With his second shot,
I however, ho wns well over tho creek, but
shoit ot the green. Parrish pulled oft a
I beautiful second shot and wns on the edge
of the green and down In five. Sheble
wns short again with his third, nnd taking
i three more, Pnrrlsh won by the odd

It surely wns Miss Marion Scott's day,
as a result of her match In the second
with W. W. tTmbcnnuer. or Philadelphia.
Tho last named wns asked to concedo
seven strokes to tho Chicago girl, nnd
apparently had tho match bottled up when
he stood t up at the seventh, only to
meet defeat at tho end.
Up to thnt stage Umbenhauer hnd
made few mistakes, and In nddltlon holed
good putts on the fifth and seventh
greens. Miss Scott lnld her Iron shot
to within 15 feet of the pin nt the short
eighth, whereas her opponent, far too
strong, went clear ncrortf to the mounds.
Unibenhnuer, after well out with m.ishle,
i-nnk a good putt, therefore getting a
half In three nfter Miss Scott had missed
her try for a two.
Although frequently shoving her driver

FATHER OF BASEBALL
IN ANTIPODES HERE
TO ATTEND SERIES
A. L. Carson, of Sydney, Aus
tralia, Tells of Progress Game
Has Made In tho Land of tho
Southern Cross
PICKS PHILLIES. TO WIN
Among thosp who have come from afar
to witness the world'fl series gnmes Is
Arthur I Carson, of Sydney, Australia,
Althntiah It wns necessary for Mr. Carson
to visit this country on business, ho timed
hit trip so thnt It would bo possible for
him to attend tho baseball classic, com
ing all the way frotn" Sah Francisco for
this purpose.
Hcsldes being nn enthusiastic fan Mr.
Cnrson Is also a club manager, nnd It Is
to him that credit Is due for organizing
tho excellent tenm of his home city. In
fnct. It may well bo snld that Mr. Cnrson
Is tho father of baseball In Australia, be
cause prior to his time the game had at
tnlned but Ilttlo popularity In tho Island
Continent. Fifteen years ago ho orgnnlzed
the first professional team and slnco then
teams have sprung up like mushrooms In
virtually every Australian city.
Despite his position of prominence In
the sporting world, Mr. Carson Is extreme
ly modest. Llko all great sportsmen ho Is
willing to talk for hours about his fa
vorite sport, but will say little regarding
himself. When Interviewed at the Bcllo-vuo-Strntford
yesterday, Mr. Carson told
of tho rapidly growing popularity .if base
ball In Australia and declared that In time
It would rival cricket.
"My Interest In baseball," said he. "was
first aroused while visiting the United
States 20 years ago. Naturally, at that
time baseball even In this country had not
attnlned Its present wldcsprcnd popularity.
Modern professional baseball was merely
In Its Infancy. After witnessing a number
of games I returned to Sydney firmly re
solved to Introduce the sport ltno the club
ot which I was an ofticer.

TIME HE WON'T BE
PHILLY BRAIN BEATS BOSTON BRAl
Alexander Outpitches Shore in Spite of the Gr
The God of Battle, according to Napo
leon, goes with the sldo that carries thn
heaviest artillery. This theory may
operate perfectly In the red game of war,
but It doesn't always go In baseball. In
tho world scries opener the Red Sox as
saulted Alexander for eight old-fashioned
hits, tho kind that streak their way to
safety on a line. The Phillies drove but
one base hit bejond the Infield, with Shore
firing from the mound, yet at dusk Fri
day the tidings had traveled around
through tho social circle of St. Paul,
Neb., thnt the score stood as follows:
Alexander, 3; Boston, 1. and St. Paul's
leading social clrclo had tho tidings abso
lutely right.
To tho home fan all victories are as
radiant In color as a flash of tho North
ern Lights or the Southern Cross. But to
tho noncombntant who comes from alien
fields this first grnpplo for tho champlon
shln of tho fairly well-known universe
was bereft of color, even to the point of
being drab. It was bereft of color be
cause Alexander, whllo always good, was
not nt his best, and because most of
the precious tallies came from soft blows
that rtruck the still softer turf with re
verre English or pn-Gcrmicn skidding,
causing Mr. Shore more anguish nnd
annoynnce than ho could stand Upon such
an occasion an occasion fringed with 20,
000 souls with 60 per cent, of the swaG
at stake.
Thero was no upset to tho dope which
picked Alexander to win. But there was
an upset attached to the way things came
about, for tho Red Sox hit Alexander
harder than the Phillies hit Shore. But
for all that tho big Phllly star pitched
the better game, and for all those soft,
skidding Intleld taps the Phillies deserved
to win. They deserved to win bccniiBe
brain still has an edgo on brnwn against
the ultlmnte test, nnd when the mental
sinning arrived It wns always tho Red Sax
who wandered In a maze nnd did tho
wrong thing In the wrong wny. They
could hit the old pill, they could catch It
nnd they could throw It: but that Isn't nil
of basebnll by II dusty lengues. For
always at the big moment the Red Sox
went adrift Into some mental maze that
brougnt disaster. After the game the
polite and fashionable chit-chat of tho
evening wns nil to tho effect that tho
Phils had all the lurk. But If you will
only follow the trend of most sports you
twill find that fate, the Iron-handed,
usually sits In with the Mde that plays
tho better ball. And so fato snt In the
first big gnmc which has given Philadel
phia the jump and Alexander two dnys'
rest beforo he goes back to tho Job again
upon a hostile field.
Outside of any luck, there were four
vital factors that brought Red Sox
defeat. One wns the Iron-hearted
steadiness of Alexander, who wns ns cool
under a heavy fire as If ho had been
pitching world's series games ever slnco
he let St. Paul, Neb., flat upon Its bush
league back. He wns not at his best
he was not enjoying one of his wonder
afternoons, but when the main test came
nnd ono more blow would furnish trouble
the big fellow had enough which Is
always the answer. He had enough to
hold Boston to one run, although he
needed a grand catch by Dode Paskert In
the eighth to keep his crown' on the
proper angle. If Dode hadn't raced far
and fast for a mighty wallop from I.arry
Gardner In the eighth, the big dance
In St. Paul, Neb., might have been called
off last night and the red Are burnt In
Philadelphia would have been tinged with
an indigo flame.
In the first eight rounds Borne Red Sox
bntMiian slashed a drive to safe sol!. But
In no round were thero two hits lumped
together, which Is plnch-pltchlng to a
high degree. Shore, while more brilliant,
was not nearly as steady. Shore hnd a
barrel full of stuff, but against this he
had fate, his own mates and himself set
at vurlance.
