the series I as good as won. The tak

detail.
Captain Luderus, of the Phils, was still
hopeful

the have la any previous gume, and
I believe (hat they wl( win tomorrow

breaks seemed to be against them."
Captain Luderus ' I don't think we are
beaten In the series yet. although we am

the toughest to lose I ever saw. Chalmers

their best and there is no excuse to make
for the loss of the game."

STOCK'S EFFORT FATAL;
MAY HAVE COST GAME
Continued from l'ase One
nlelH with one victory nnd three defeats,
piobahly would be en evn terms with
their rivals.
There neer was such a clamorous
demand for tickets at any other sporting
event ns there was today. The com
paratively few tickets In the hands of
speculators mado the prices soar te
hitherto unknown heights. All night long
a line of hopefuls was gathered near
Braves' Field, trusting that they would
be able to purchase the precious paste
boards. The sale was announced to begin
at 9 o'clock.
WILD RUSH FOR TICKETS.
When the ticket windows were finally
opened no qunrter wrts asked dr given

Ine winuows, wnue ueiucuuuiim ui utuc
coats strove vallnntly. but without success,
to keep tho fans In line. Every few min
utes mounted policemen oharged 'the
crowd to open lanes between the masses
of humanity In order that those holding
sents micht make their way to tho turn
stiles.
PHILADnLPIHANS EARLY.
At 12-rO o'clock Manager Pat Moran and
Captain Fred Luderus came on tho field.
By this time several thousnnd fans were
In the stands, and judging by the recep
tion the Phillies received they must have
been largely Quaker City followers.
One of the most pleasant features was
the beautiful day. It was one of those
lovely rare days which are said to be
peculiar to tho month of June. The ther
mometer registered 70 degrees, the sun
was ns brilliant as tho hellan disc ot the
tropics. A warm, gentle breeze lazily un
furled the Stars and Stripes on the tall
flagpole in centre field as it passed In
a northerly direction from the homo plate
to centre field.
Under these Ideal weather conditions
tho Red Sox continued to bat for 20 min
utes. In the meanwhile a big reserved
section became suddenly crowded to over
ilo.'.ig by n contingent of 1000 Boston
letter-carriers. These mall distributors
Kept up nn unceasing lino of songs, led by
the band made up of their own numbers.
Again the film and photograph fiends
ere present, shooting at their targets
as they came within range In various
poses of baseball action.
The stand filled rapidly today, and fully
an hour before the "play ball" signal was
due, the boxes were crowded.
The warm weather gave the female fans
their chance and they accepted It without
the semblance of an error. Gorgeously
gowned, wearing the last In millinery an.l
shoes, these women formed a spectacular
and stage-like background for tho bone
Imll battle.
Contrary to predictions there was no
Increase In the size of standing room
space In centre field. Tho same large
fence, guarded by armed minions of the
law, zealously patrolled this section to
prevent any possible outbreak. These
guards, who marched In front of every
stand, were supplemented by five mounted
guards, who took their stations In deep
centre field.
While the Phillies, with George Chal
mers In the box, were taking their bat
ting practice the final rush of reserved
seatholders took place.
"SILK" HELD UP,
During the rush for the stiles outside
the park Umpire Silk O'Loughlln was
struggling to get Into the Inelosure. After
a half hour's fruitless effort Silk sought
a cop with a friendly countenance and
poured out his troubles.
"I am Umpire O'Loughlln," said Silk,
"and I can't get In; won't you please see
If you can get me through the crowd?"
"Now listen," said the cop, "you cut
that stall stuff and get out of here. Tou
are about the hundredth guy that has
tried to pull that Now beat it I"
Silk finally got In a few minutes before
the game, after a hard fight
The fielding practice of both teams was
pxppery. The diamond today was in far
better shape than it was yesterday. Al
though the outneld was a trifle soft, the
diamond was fast. Pat's regulars per
formed In fine fashion, their speedy work
elleltatlng great applause from their
friends in the stand.
Carrlgan's folks showed as much spirit
as the Phillies. Their work on the dia
mond was spectacular, Indeed, and the
running catches of the great outfield trio
delighted the local crowd.
Just before the game began floral de
signs were presented to Mrs. "Joe" Lan
niii. Miss Dorothy Launln and Mrs
Murphy, whose husband is president of
the Letter Carriers' Association. The
gifts were presented by the association.
Stock brought the stands' to their feet
when he shot a base hit off third, but
the applause of the Phillies died out when
he was nipped at second trying to stretch
his hit. Bancroft was passed and reached
second on Barry's muff on his attempted,
teal, Dode Paskert come up, but when
he fanned their hopes again went cellar
deep. Pandemonium broke lose and con
tinued as the bends struck up their lively
musls when flawy Cravath struck; out.

Barry gave Bancroft a llfo on a steal, the
breaks were even up.
ALL ROOTERS HAPPT.
The Philadelphia nnd Boston followers
were alternately Joyful and sorrowful In
the second half of the Ilrst Inning. The
big sprinkling of Quaker City fans
cheered long nnd loud as Chalmers
fanned Hooper and Scott but when
Speaker was passed the Red Sox crowd,
with Royal Rooters foremost, burst
forth; but their Inning was short lived,
as Speaker perished stealing.
By the time the second inning began
the management had permitted a few
hundred more fans In the aisles and
runways. The big new armory to the
enet of Braves' Field hnd several thou
snnd free spectators ranged along Its roof
and skylight. The top of -the wall In
centre field was dotted with fans who
paid their 50 cents to straddle this un
comfortable seat.
Fred Luderus drove a terrific single to
right centre at the beginning of the sec
ond Inning and went to second on a sacri
fice, but NlehofT fouled out and Chalmers
fanned, after Burns had walked.
After Hoblltzel aad died on strikes,
Duffy Lewis was given a fine ovation
when he came to the bat It was Duffy
who saved the game yesterday by a
great catch from Cravath's bat in the
third Inning and It was he also who drove
In the winning run. Lewis wns an easy
lctlm on a grounder to Chalmers.
The Phllly pitcher was given a big
hand when ho walked from the box after
Gardner had filed out
For the first time duilng the series Pat
Moran did not appear on the coaching
line when the Phillies went in for tha
first half of the third Inning. Oscar
Dugoy was at third base and BUI Kllllfer
at first. Moran was seated on the bench
out of the limelight
A LOST HOME RUN.
There was very little enthusiasm shown
In the third Inning until the last out was
made. Bancroft, who had walked, was
still on first when Gavvy Cravath hit a
drive to left field which would have hit
the top of the Lehigh wall in Philadel
phia, but Duffy Lewis, who was already
playing deep, backed against the wall and
caught the ball which would have given
the Phillies a run had It hit safely.
A lot of excitement was created on the
field because, with Barry on second, Cady
on first and Shore at the bat. Chalmers
stepped out of ttie dox to get Burns' sig
nnl, and Umpire Evans called It a balk.
Tha Boston crowd roared with approval,
but ceased when Umpire Rlgler reversed
Evans' decision. The Red Sox protested
for a few moments, then play was re
sumed. After Shore had sacrificed and Hooper
had hit a single which bounded over
Chalmers head, scoring Barry, the crowd
went wild with delight. The Royal Root
ers applauded Scott when he came to the
bat. Whltted was given a big hand even
by tho Red Sox followers when he raced
across the foul line, grabbed Scott's high
fly nnd held Cady at third and Hooper
at first The Red Sox had nothing mora
to cheer them In that Inning. Speaker
grounded out, but the Royal Rooters cele
brated the one-run lead with a band se
lection and a song.
MORAN COACHES AGAIN.
Pat Moran came back to the coacher's
box In the fourth and received the plaud
its of his Fltchburg and Philadelphia
friends. The early part of the fourth
was tame. Luderus and Whltted were
retired easily. NlehofT walked and Burns
singled, but Seott made a great stop ot
vimuuci unve, lorcing ruenort.
The west field and the west stand rose
In a body and began to cheer as Chalmers
gave Hoblltzel three balls. When Hobby
singled over second and Rixey.wns sent
down tot warm up, their shouts were
turned against the tall left-hander. After
Lewis had sacrificed, Whltted drew ap
plause from friends and enemies alike
when ho made a spectacular catch of
Gardner's drive near the foul line. With
Barry at the bat a man recognized as
one of the game's greatest pinch hitters,
Boston fans were almost sure of another
run. They cheered Barry to the echo,
but his response was a fly to Paskert.
Enthusiasm ran riot In the fifth Inning
when Stock opened with a Una drive to
left, on which Lewis made a shoe-string
catch. When tha next two batsmen had
been retired on fly balls. Lewis was ac
corded a long ovation as he went In to
the dugout.
Cady opened the Red Box' half of the
fifth with a single to centre, but the next
three batsmen were easy for Chalmers.
CHEERS FOR CHALMERS,
The big pitcher was accorded a. good
reception ns ha- came back to the bench.
The Philadelphia fan continued and In
creased their applause as Oavvyj Cravath
went to the bat, but he lined to Speaker.
While Luderus was up President Lan
nln ordered the policemen who were
guarding the left field wall to let about
W boys in the park who had climbed up
and were peeping pver the wall. After
tossing their hats In ttie air wKte, delight,
they suddenly ww red when thfy discov
ered that they were not to be guest of
the bH club after all. bvt were to have
the ever )teteat at tke poKc Utle
their host.
Ludeme' 4m-m Ww 1a the Ulk ww
the only occurrence thst gave any hope to
the Philadelphia. The Red Sox were
on anxious seats with Ludy on first with
one down, but they were soon rf"eved
when Whlttcd and Niehoff were ret red.
Trls Spenkcr's appearance at the bnt in
tho sixth wns a signal for another out
burst from tho Royal Rootors, but they
hnd little to gloat over, as he went out on
an easy roller However, the waving of
red nnd whlto banners and shouts or ap
Plius. again rolled 'Jh "J?",,0,
Charles River when Hoblltzel came
throush with his second hit.
Duffy Lewis, the many-times hero of
the Red Sox ond Idol of the local fans,
put the bugs Into n delirium of Joy and
excitement when tie shot the ball to left
centre for two bases, scoring Mobilise!.
Although tho Boston fnns believed that
the game was won, they did not censo
rooting, but called out to Gardner to drive
Duffv across. But Lnrry ended the sus
pense, temporarily with a fly to Paskert
When Barry went out the tension was
relieved among the Philadelphia fans.
Just as the seventh Inning begnn one of
the bnnds struck up tho Star Spangled
Bnnner nnd overy person within the In
flexure rose. When Burns hnd gone out
In tho seventh Chalmers wns given gen
erous npplnuse ns he went to tho bat
CHALMERS' SURPRISE.
To the amazement of everybody. In
cluding hlmsclf, Chalmers shot a slnglo
over Scott's bend. The Phllly dugout was
now the centre of a wild scene. Alt ot
tho players wero shouting and encourag
ing Stock ns he went to the bat, but they
were suddenly silenced when Stock forced
Chalmers, and wns himself thrown out
at second nfter Barry had given him life
on a low throw.
The trite Red Sox bntters who faced
Chalmers In tho seventh were nil re
cipients of the glnd hnnd from the
bleachers and Royal Renters, but they
were unable to solve the splt-bnller, who
himself was given n lecoptlon by his
friends ns he came bnck to the bench
nfter this bloodless Inning.
The fnns have become so nccustomed
to Lewis' spectnculnr work that they
hardly noticed his brilliant cntch of Ban
croft's low siort drive. After Paskert
had died on a pop fly. I'ra-vath electrified
the crowd and put a little hopo Into tho
hearts of the. Phil fans when ho smashed
a triple thnt bounded crvcr Spcnkci's head.
Tho Phllndrlphlnns went wild when
Cnptnln Fred Luderus shot, the bnll to
the same place, which Speaker managed
to knock down As Crnvnth crossed tho
plate. He was given a tremendous ova
tion that continued for several minutes
The gamo was stopped for n moment
while Moran conferred with Luderus,
When It wns finoilly divided to put
Dugey In to run for Ludems the Quaker
City followers gae vent to their Joy and
finally they buist forth into prolonged and
honrne strutting ns;, Dugej stole second,
but the clnmorlng ceased when Whlttcd
was letlrcd on Shore's throw.
Beats Becker got a generous hand when
he replaced Whltted in left field for tho
Phillies ns the lnttcr went to first base.
After Scott hnd been retired Speaker
ngatn came through with a base hit
through Stock, and brought the stands to
their feet once more. Tho din was re
newed with Increased vigor when Hobllt
zel mnde his third single, sending Speaker
to third.
The Boston rooters went crazy for the
hundredth time when Lewis was purpose
ly passed, filling the bases. The cries
of the Royal Rooters had scarcely died
away when the Philadelphia fans burst
forth into shouts of delight ns Larry
Gardner hit Into a double play and ended
the tense Inning.
Nclhoft was cheered loud and long, but
he was nn easy victim on nn easy roller.
Phllly hopes fell fiat when Scott ran back
into left field and took Burns' drive. The
glnd hand was extended Bobby Byrne ns
he came up, but It was all over when
Bobby tiled to Lewis.
