"The play is one that has helped the Red Sox lead the American league nearly all season and one they will use in their efforts to tuck away the world series. "When a Red Sox runner is on first base and a steal is planned, the bat ter stands as far back as possible in the batter's box.

"The batter's box is six feet in length and it is three feet from the center of the plate to the back end of the box. The batter then, by stand ing away back, forces the catcher to throw three feet farther than if the batter stood even with the middle of the plate. Three feet does not sound like a great deal, but it means ball i games in these days of split-second | baseball. Seconds Count "There are more close playß at sec | ond base than any other base except [first, and in many the runner or base man gets the umpire's decision by a fraction of a second. In these frac tional-second plays, the decision goes to the runner under the Red Sox sys tem. "Dick Hoblitzel, Boston first base man. is especially good at driving catchers back from the plate, as he has trained himself to hit from that position. Hobby takes a big swing and holds his bat at arm's length. Op posing catchers make sure to get back beyond the reach of his war club. "Hobby is in a good place to make this inside play count, as he bats after Tris Speaker, and Speaker, one of the best hitters, is on the bases a lot." LOSES MUSTACHE OX PHILLIES Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. Oct. B.—Fifteen years ago Patrick O'Hara, of Manayunk, Pa., made a bet with his friend. Patrick Cowley, that if the Phillies didn't win the pennant that year he would raise a mustache and continue to wear it until they did. At last, after long, weary waiting, off came the mustache Wednesday. "Poor Cowley died in 1907," said O'Hara as he left the barber shop, "but I kept my promise, and would have kept it until I died if the Phils hadn't come across this time. I knew Moran would win." he added. "He comes from Donegal, my home county."

World's Series Facts in Condensed Form Series is the best four in se\*en games. Sixth world's series to be held in Philadelphia. Phillies' first pennant in 38 years major league ball. Players share in receipts of first four games only. The Red Sox has yet to lose a world's series. Braves' field is largest in country; Phillies' smallest. The Braves' share for last vear's triumph was $2708.86. Three victories is best any pitcher has won in world's series. Seventeen home runs have been made in the last 11 world's series. Both Carrigan and Moran are catch ers. although the latter Is no longer active. The Red Sox's six pitchers top the American League in victories this year. Southpaw Eppa Jeptha Rixey, of the Phillies stands 6 feet 5 inches and is 24 years of age. Boston nines have won 19 pennants, five being captured by the American League representatives. Alexander has struck out more than 1000 National League batsmen in his five years' pitching. No spectators will be allowed in the playing field, either at the Phillies' ground or the Braves' field. There has not been a Western club in the world's series since the Cubs lost to the Athletics in 1910. Dates of games are the same as last contests, when first two games were played at Shibe Park, October 8 and 9. Second Baseman Jack Barry of the Red Sox, is one of the famous Athletic infield. He was sold to the Red Sox this year. The Braves' Park. Boston, will ac commodate about 45,000, while the Phillies' ground will have room for 21,00.0 to 22.000. Manager Pat Moran of the Phillies, was with the Chicago rubs in 1908, 1907 and 1908, when they won the National League pennants. It. is interesting to note that Hugh S. Fullerton picked the Phillies to finish last in this year's race. His early Spring forecast was: Boston. Chicago, New Tork, Brooklyn, St. Louis. Cincinnati. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Grover Cleveland Alexander may oppose Ernest G. Shore in tli£ open ing game of the big series. Alexander has great speed; Shore has slightly less. Alexander lias a great curve ball; Alexander has a fade-away that is puzzling to left-handed batters; Shore has a fafit ball that drops away from a left-handed batsman. .
