WET FIELD AIDS CHANCE Creaks, Too, Were All With Grover Cleveland Details Show Texas Leaguer Only Safe Ball Driven Out of Diamond by Phillies. BY ASSOCIATE!) PRESS. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. Grover Cleveland Alexander won his game from the Boston Tied ' Sox today, "but the victory was. far from being: the Impressive one his team mates of the Philadelphia Nationals had predicted. The breaks of the game were with the star pitcher of the National League, and they hal to be to give him the honor of winning the first world's series contest tn which he has partici pated. Through a sequence of plays as unusual as ever seen upon a ball field the Phillies won by 3 to 1. They made these three runs jon five ef the fluklest hits the game has ever known, a Texas leaguer, which devel oped Into the first run of the series being: the only safe ball driven out of the diamonds by a Philadelphia bats man. It has been predicted the short outfield would prove the winning fac tor for the locals in their own little park out on Broad street, but contrary to all expectations it was the infield, wet and heavy from 15 hours of rain, that turned the tide in their favor." ' Game In Mediocre Obm It . was a mediocre ball frame this first of the big series for, despite the few errors of commission, there were several of omission, and two or three plays which will go down in baseball history as tinged with an Ivory hue. Strangely enough, it was the Red Sox, veterans in battling for the highest honors of the game, who were guilty of the slips, although offending in dividuals were new members of the team Big "Hobby" Hoblitzel. first-base guardian for the Sox, ignominlously ended a firat-inning attack by his teammates when he calmly lapsed into slumberland off his home station and was caught almost flat-footed by a quick toss from Alexander to Luderus for the third out. Hooper was on third base at the time and Lewis was at bat. When he was given his delayed chance In the second inning, Lewis shot a stinging single between short and third. This play hurt the chances of the Sox materially, but it was in the eighth Inning that the game was tossed away beyond all hope of recall when young Scott, at short for the visitors, stood transfixed as he watched Barry make a wonderful stop of a drive from Ban croft, and was so completely overcome by the seemingly miraculous play that he forgot all about covering second base, allowing Stock, who had walked, to pull up safely at that station and giving Bancroft one of the five strange hits scored off Iprnest Shore. Shore Twirls Great Came. This young twirler ("Longshore," they call him in Boston) pitched a .'splendid game, but all the luck, was against him. The "break," which went the way of the Phillies, seemed to upset him at times and his fielding was shaky. But Shore had a fast ball with a hop on it that was a par with the best Alexander had to offer. Against the five freak hits which he allowed, Alexander was hit safely eight times, each of the blows being a line drive to the outfield. There was not an extra base in any of them, however, and no two came in the same Inning. Three times during the game the first Rt:d Sox batter to face big "Alex" tore off a screaming single, only to re main stranded somewhere between first and third. Alexander felt the strain that the confidence of the National League ad herents had placed upon him and dur ing the first three innings of the game plainly was nervous. In two of these innings serious trouble threatened him. Shore gave the Phillies' star a fiirht from the time play was called until the last man was out. (ante Often Huns In Balance. Four or five times the game hung In the balance. With the score a tie in the first half of the eighth and with Lewis on second base. Gardner, of the Red Sox, smashed into one of Alex ander's fast-breaking outcurves for a drive which seemed far out of reach of any of the Philadelphia outfield. But "Dode" Paskert started after it from center field and made a spectacular catch while running at full speed. The play brought the big crowd to its feet Hnd undoubtedly saved the game for the National League contestants. This play and the wonderful stop by Barry back of second base, which hypnotized young Scott into a lapse of unconsciousness that paved the way for the winning tallies were the fielding features of the game. That the game was regarded largely . as a freak episode in . world-series baseball is shown tonight by the fact IConcludel Page 12, Column 4.),. ALEXAND IN mEDIOGRE GAME CLASSIC SERIES HOLDS ROMANCE MO.VTEBEV BELLE TO BE BKXDE OF PHILLIES' CATCHER. Californians Learn Secret . of Why Eddie Burns Is Playing Game of Life "Behind Plate.

Miss Viola Laporte, whose forefathers helped in the founding of California's first capital city, is vitally concerned in the . Eastern aeries and, what la more, interest is centered in a certain dashing young fellow who is doing most of the catching for the Philadel phia Nationals.

First news of the romance became known today when friends of Eddie Hallinan, Salt Lake third sacker and college mate of Burns at St. Mary's College, learned that Hallinan would act-as best man at an. important cere mony at the Presidio Catholic Church in Monterey.

RED SOX SLEEPING, PHILLIES WIN, 3-1 Scott's 'Paralyzed' Act May Have Cost Game. FATES AGAINST YOUNG SHORE Boston Boy Twirls Well, Then Grows Nervous. MENTAL LAPSE TOO MUCH Grantland Rice Admits Defeated Team Shows Stronger Attack, but Alexander Pails to Weaken When Crowded. BT GRANTLAND RICE. PHILADELPHIA, Oct- 8. (Special.) The god of battle, according to Na poleon, goes with the die that carries the heaviest artillery. This theory may operate perfectly in the red game of war, but it doesn't always go in baseball. In the world's series opener, the Red Sox assaulted Alexander for eight old-fashioned hits, the kind that streak their way to safety on a line. The Phillies drove but one base hit beyond the infield with Shore firing from the mound, yet at dusk Fri day the tidings had traveled around through the social circle of St. Paul. Neb., that the score stood as follows: Alexander 3, Boston 1, and St. Paul's leading social circle had the tidings absolutely right. To the home fan all victories are as radiant in color as a flash of the North ern Lights or the Southern Cross. But to the non-combatant who comes from alien fields, this first grapple for the championship of the fairly well-known universe was bereft of color, even to the point of being drab. Alexander Kot at Best. It was bereft of color because Alex ander, while always good, was not at his best, and because most of the pre cious tallies came from soft blows that struck' the still softer turf, the reverse English or pro-German skidding- caus ing Mr. Shore more anguish and annoy ance than he could stand on such an occasion an occasion fringed with 20,- 000 souls and with 60 per cent of the swag at stake. There wan no upset to the doDe which picked Alexander to win. But there was an upset attached to the way things came about, for the Red Sox hit Alexander harder than the Phillies hit Shore. But for all that, the big Philly star pitched the better game, and for all those soft skidding In field taps the Phillies deserved to win. They deserved to win because brain still has an edge on brawn against the ultimate test, and when the mental sinning arrived it was always the Red Sox who wandered in a maze and did the wrong thing In the wrong way. They could hit the old pill. They could catch it and they could throw it but that isn't all of baseball by 14 dusty .eagues. For always at the big mo- (Concluded on Page 1-4. Column 1.) ! ii !

' The people showed strong desire to see him, but their eyes were centered on the woman who within the next few months is to become the "first lady of the land." Both the President and Mrs. Gait were pleased by the reception accorded them. They were slightly shy on their first appearance in public as an en gaged couple, but acknowledged ap plause with sriiles. They made no at tempt to hldfi themselves and every time they appeared in public they were side by side. Mr. Wilson Happy All Day. The President gave himself up for the time being to entertaining his fiancee. He was happy and jovial throughout the day. and his usually stern face was constantly wreathed in smiles. - The programme'of the couple included a long automobile ride through the parks, a dinner party this evening at the home of Colonel and Mrs. House and a theater party tonight.

Friday!s War Moves THE efforts of Austria and Germany to force their way through Serbia to reach the Near Eastern seas and Join hands with their Turkish allies have produced one of the most interesting situations of the war. The Serbian Le gation at London yesterday received in formation that the Austro-Germans had suffered crushing reverses at two points and that at other points the struggle was continuing with Intensity. Meanwhile the Anglo-French troops are continuing to labd in -Greece and are making their way northward to as sist the Serbians and to protect Mace donia from a Bulgarian invasion. Allied fleets are said to have appeared oil Bulgarian porta in the Aegean and Black teas. A renewed offensive by the allies on the western front has not yet material ised, the recent French attacks in Champagne and Artols apparently hav ing been simply local attempts to cap ture point of vantage which brought about furious German counter-attacks. This is particularly true of the attack against the hill of Tahure. in the center of the German lines in Champagne, which has been almost continuously under German lire since its capture by the French. A somewhat similar situation seem ingly has arisen on the eastern front. The Germans several tim. ..... shown signs of developing a big at tack against Dvinsk, but beyond gain ing a few yards of trenches they have made no progress, while from that region right down to Galicta the Austro-Germans have been engaged in meeting strong Russian attacks. With Poland's mud again clogging the wheels of the armies, it is doubtful whether either side will be able to make an important move for some weeks. Winter, with its hard, frozen ground, is expected to bring a renewal of the off enslve ' by one side or the other. German mercantile marine in the Baltic is beginning to feel the effect of the submarine warfare there.

Alex ander Zaimis. has answered that he will be unable to do this until a meet ing of the Cabinet is held. There is. however, evidence that Greece will maintain a policy of "benevolent neu trality" toward the allies. The press and public of London and Paris, with the experience of the sud den change In Bulgaria's attitude fresh in their memory, are demanding' that steps be taken to see to it that a sim ilar change does not take place in Athens. it has been suggested that the appearance of an allied fleet in Greek waters would have the jffect of holding Greece in line.
