BRAVES' FIELD. Boston. Oct. 12. The wildest scenes In the history of Boston baseball took place on Braves' Field lhi3 afternoon at the close of the fourth game of the World's Series, In which the lied Sox downed the Phillies In a viciously fought and stubborn contest by the count of 2 to 1. Throughout tho entire battle 41,000 spec tators, 00 per cent, of whom were Boston rooters, made the welkin ring as they cheered their heroes on. George Chalmers pitched a mnsterly game and was en couraged in his efforts by the Philadel phia fans who were scattered throughout tho big amphitheatre. The weak hitting of the Phillies was partly overcome, but the brilliant work of the Boston outfield prevented at least .a dozen vicious drives from falling safe. Tho big break of the game came In tho first Inning when Stock was thrown out at second In attempting to stretch a sin gle over third base. Had Stock mado this bag safely the whole complexion of the game would have been changed, and the Phillies, instead of going home to- Continued on Tage Two, Column Four POVERTY DRIVES WEARY MOTHER TO SLAY FAMILY Struggle for Babes After Husband's Death Ends in -Defeat GAS - ENDS SUFFERING Mrs. llosa Ilogar, 26 years old, but look ing at least 15 older, of 2026 South Cleve land avenue, worn and tired ot life, ended a long succession of days over the wash tubs, early today by turning on the gas In two rooms where she and her three babies had gone to bed.

By CHANDLER D. RICHTER Philadelphia Official Scorer for the. World's Series Games Between the rhllllea ana the Bolton ned Sox. , BRAVES' FIELD, Boston, Oct. 12. The Boston Bed Sox today won an other gamo from tho Phillies in'tho fourth contest of the world's series. The llnal score was 2 to I. Tho Red Sox have now a three to ono edge on the Phillies, and It begins to look as It the American League pennant winners would be the new cham pions of the world. Today's game was a heart-breaker. Th.e Phillies were outluckcd from start to finish. All the breaks went to the Jted Sox. Everything seemed to run Boston's way. Shoro wns wild and was batted hard. Sensational fielding and pure luck saved lilm several times. . .On tho other hand Chalmers pitched a grand game of ball, his only lapse being when ho gavo Duffy Lewis a fast ball straight over tho heart of the plate when he had lilm two strikes and no balls. Lewis, who has been the hero of tho series, smashed the ball far over Whltted's head to the left field fence for a double, which' scored Hoblitzel' with tho run that clinched the victory. Lewis saved his team twice by making sensational catches and he took away much of the Phillies' confidence In the first Inning when he made n wonderful throw to Scott, retiring Stock, who tried to stretch a single Into a two-base hit. Offensively tho Phillies looked much better than they have at any other time during the scries, and there is still some hope it they can hit the same way tomorrow. Four balls were hit today which would have been homo runs in tho Phillies' park, but three resulted In outs, while tho other wont for a single, as the Red Sox outfleld'was playing over In tho next county. Twice Cravath "hit screaming drives, homo runs in the Philadelphia park, but Lewis caught ono and Speaker the other. Lewis backed against the left field fence to make his catch and got a ball that would probably have gone Into Lehigh avenue in Phllly. Perhaps the greatest luck the Red Sox had occurred In the eighth Inning, when Speaker stopped Luderus' terrific smash with his foot and held the ball with his nnger. Freak Antic of Ball Costs Homer. Cravath scored the Phillies' only run on this hit, but had It not been for Speaker's freak luck In that the bull stopped dead after hitting his fbpt, Luderus would have had an easy home run. The ball was. shooting for the further corner of tho park and ho could have walked around. This hit would have tied the scbre and the Phillies would have won, because they were hitting the ball well and It was a question .of time when one of these drives would go bolwoen the fielders and break up the game. Win or lose. Philadelphia could be proud of. the team as It fgpght .to'tle finish today and never gave up until tha last man was retired.
