Good Weather Conditions Help to Draw Record Crowds to First dame in Boston HARRISBURG lISSIk TELEGRAPH LXXXIV — No. 238 "BRILLIANT PITCHING OF LEONARD GIVES RED SOX ADVANTAGE IN SERIES AMERICAN BALL CHAMPIONS WIN AT BOSTON 2 TO 1 Uncloudy Sun Promised Touch of Warmth to Blunt Edge of Breeze ALEXANDER ON MOUND Big Philadelphia Pitcher's Ap pearance Alone Proves Drawing Card By Associated Press Braves' Park, Oct. 11. Boston practically shattered the Phillies' chances for the world's championship this afternoon wlien in n gruelling bat tle they shipped Alexander, upon whom the Phils pinned their lioi>es. in the third (tame of the series. The Phillies SJ-oi-ed first in the third and were cut down from putting the same on ice right there by a narrow margin. The Red Sox crossed the plate in the fourth and again in the ninth.. 12.300 persons saw the game. Boston, Oct. 11. The Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans meeting at Braves field in the third game of the world's series to-day had as a setting for their championship activities a crowd which officials pre dicted would prove to be the greatest paid attendance in theannals of base ball. The teams had changed over Sunday from the Phillies park, the smallest ball park in the major leagues, to the biggest grounds in the country. for two days Braves field will be the scene of action, with the resulting that both financially and in »the number of spectators this will be a record series. To date the atten dance is behind that of last year, but, with the money is in advance of pre-1 vious figures. Every element of interest possible in advance was presen to draw out a tremendous throng to-day. The weather, first consideration to many followers of the game, was as fair as a midsummer day. Although the morning was frosty, the uncloudy sun promised a touch of warmth to blunt I thr edge of the light summer breeze | The forecaster's prediction that the | temperature would rise about noon | added to the probabilities of a typical j baseball atmosphere for the post-sea- • son contest. The Red Sox and Phillies went into the third game with honors even and | with the interest as keen for the reop- j ening of the series in this city as it was] for the start at Philadelphia. By some i observers to-day's contest was term-1 ed "crucial" particularly in its bear-1 ing on the plans of Manager Moran. j Alexander on Mound Alexander's appearance alone was j an attraction to the crowd, but with I it was coupled the semiofficial word j from Manager Carrigan of the Red j Sox that "Dutch" Leonard, the youth- | ful southpaw, would pitch for Bos- j ton When in shape Leonard has been ! looked upon as the best pitcher on the Red Sox staff. His delivery con tains more twists and turns to baffle batsmen than does that of any other Boston twirler. He has not bea used pre"iously in the series, for the reason, it is believed, of the possible danger that lay in the short fences at ! Philadelphia's park and the fact that ! eight of the nine Philadelphia batsmen I are regarded as having an advantage over left handed pitchers by batting! right handed. Luderus is the only j Philadelphia player who bats from : the left against a pitcher serving from j that side. Cheers for Boston A mighty cheer greeted the Boston , plr.yers when they appeared pn the field a little after 1 o'clock and began | their batting practice. Hardly had the Philadelphia club j come upon the field when Manager ' Moran began to -warm up Rixey to see how his curves were breaking. "If Rixey can get that Quick curve breaking right," said Manager Moran, "he'll have the Rtd Sox throwing away , their bats. Anyhow it looks like Alex"- ! ander as my pttching selection to-day." • Manager Moran was confident that 1 his club would have to face Leonard, 1 the star southpaw of the Red Sox. The crowd began to arrive in large rumbers near t.itO o'clock. By that I time all the cheaper seats were filled, ' with scores eager to gain admission. ! Leonard and Carrigan were an- ! nounced as the batteries for Boston; j Alexander and Burns for Philadelphia. Lightning-fast plays were made during the practice of the two in fields. The inner gardens had been rolled smooth and dry and grounders came to the fielders with snap and rrecision. The sun bothered the center end right fielders and Speaker and j Hooper wore stin glasses. Leonard j warmed up for Boston, while Alexan der tried out his curves for Philadel phia. Both had plenty of speed and H break to their curves. Before the game a silver loving cup and a large floral horseshoe were pre sented to Manager Carrigan by Boston rooters. First Inning First half: Stock up. Ball one. Foul, strike one.
