KOtom J-tl : aa Hooper Raps Out Alexander's Second Ball for First Single of Game. PHILLIE TWIRLER NERVOUS j Boston Opponents Slake Debut on ! First in Third When Twirler Slams Out Slow, Tantal izing Grounder. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S. There were the usual preliminaries that always precede the opening? game of a world's feries and it was six minutes past 2 o'clock when Umpire Bill Klem called -Play ball." Hooper, the Red Sox lead-off man, lased sood Judgment in letting Alexan der's first offering go by him, for Klem called it a ball. Then he laced the sec ond ball that the Phillie idol sent up to center field for a single, much to the joy of the Boston rooters. It was a low. hard drive. Scott sent Hooper down to second on a pretty sacrifice, Alexander to Luderus. Alexander appeared a bit nervous as bpeaKcr stepped into the batters' box, but he quickly put two strikes over, cutting the outside edge of the plate. Then Alexander in trying to get Speaker for a- third strike, pitched wide, and the big Texan took a base on balls. Hoblitzel Forces Speaker. Speaker was forced at second by Hob litzel, Bancroft to Niehoff. Hooper sprinting to third. Then came the first break in Boston's playing, Hoblitzel being caught napping off first, Alexan der to Lutlerus, when he took too long a lead, retiring the side. Shore made short work of Stock when he came to bat, the Phillies' third base man going out on a high foul fly to Cady between the plate and first base. Shortstop Bancroft lifted a fly to Jack Barry. There was a mixup in signals on the play, Scott also going after the ball and bumping into the ex-Mackman as he caught the ball. ' Paskert was the third out on a lofty foul to Hob litzel. tewii Drives Scorcher Single. Lewis, first up for Boston in the sec ond inning, drove a scorching single to left field which Whitted, the former Braves' player fielded quickly. Gardner sacrificed, Alexander to Luderus, Lewis pulling up at second. Barry hit sharply to Alexander, who threw to third to head off Lewis going to that bag. Lewis turned and started back with Stock after him and when the third baseman found he could not utsprint the speedy runner, he threw to Bancroft, covering second. Bancroft made a stab to get Barry eliding into second but he was an in stant too late and turned and caught Lewis as he was turning to go on to third again. Cady ended the inning, coins out on strikes after the count was three and two. Cravath AVinw Ovation. Gavvy Cravath, who made a record of 24 home runs this season, won a round of applause as he stepped to the plate. Shore let him walk and he was forced at second on Luderus' grounder. Barry making the out. Cravath ran out of line in trying to avoid Barry. Luderus tried to 'steal second and was put out on a beautiful throw by Cady to Barry. Whitted worked a base on balls and was left on first when Niehoff struck out. retiring the side. Shore, leading off for Boston in the third, was an easy out. Niehoff to Luderus. Hooper lifted a high, long fly to Whitted in left field. Then Scott banged a hard, low drive between left and center for a single. Speaker tried hard to put the ball into the left-field bleachers, but his drive was too short and Whitted was under It for the third out. Alexander Forced at Second. The Phillies got their first single in the third inning. After Eddie Burns had lifted a fly which Scott gathered in, Alexander sent a slow, tantalizing bounder to Gardner, who came running in to make a quick play, but he could not field the ball to first in time to head off the big pitcher. Stock forced the twirler at second, Gardner to Barry. The best Bancroft could do was to send a roller to Hob litzel. who scooped up the ball and raced to first ahead of Bancroft, ending the inning. The Red Sox got in their usual hit in the fourth inning, but again failed to score. With two strikes and no balls. Hoblitzel shot a hot one to Niehoff, who threw Hobby out. I.cvia Fouls Twice Before Oat. Lewis fouled off two balls after the count on him was three and two. and then went out on strikes. Gardner slammed a base hit over second, which I'askert fielded in fine shape. The run ner, however, was left at first, for Harry sent a short fly to Cravath, the right fielder's only fielding chance in the game. The Phillies' first run came in the fourth inning. Paskert brought the spectators to their feet by shooting a single to right. He was sacrificed to second by Cravath. the latter going out, Shore to Hoblitzel. I'askert took third on Luderus' out. Barry to Hoblitzel, amid much cheer ing. A minute later Taskert came home with the first run of the series when Whitted hit a short grounder to Barry, who trot up to the ball too late to nip off the flying Paskert. Whitted Steals to Second. There was much joy in the Quaker camp as Paskert walked to the bench. Whitted stole second. Cady making a high throw after momentarily juggling the bull. Niehoff was thrown out by Scott. By this time the Boston rooters were almost frantic for a run. With the National Leaguers having the edge, they called on Cady for a hit as he came to bat for the Red Sox in the fifth inning But Cady failed them, offering Nie hoff an easy chance which the second baseman accepted. Shore. however, who won a generous hand for his ex cellent pitching, poked a single through the infield to center. Hooper Fails to Advance Cady. Hooper failed to advance him. going out on a short fly to Bancroft. Shore was forced out at second by Scott, Niehoff to Bancroft, on a neat play' Burns, the first National Leaguer up In the fifth, went out by way of the strikeout route. Alexander lifted one to Lewis. Stock raised a low fly In front of the plate. Shore came racing in to catch it, but he was a step too short and failed to hold the ball. He received an error on the play Stock was left at first Bancroft being easily retired. Shore to Hoblitzel. Speaker. In the sixth, went out the same way he did in the third inning lining a fly to Whitted. Hoblitzel drove a single to right field which Cra vath almost caught off his toes.

Paskert went out, Shore to Hoblitzel. Cravath poled out a long fly to Speaker. I.ucky Seventh Unproductive. Luderus hit weakly to Barry and was out at first. The lucky seventh was unproductive for either team. Barry raised the hopes of the Red Sox by pushing a single through short. He went to sec ond on Cady's sacrifice. Alexander to Luderus. but was left there, as both fcmore and Hooper struck out. The stay of the Quakers at the bat In this inning also was brief. Whitted drove out what looked like a home run into the left field bleachers, but the northwest wind held the ball back and it settled into Lewis' hands, not rar from the wall separating the field from the crowd. Shore tossed out Niehoff and Barry fielded Burns grounder and retired the little catcher. Boston Ties. Phillies Win In Eighth. Then came the eighth, which saw Boston tie the score and Philadelphia win the game, fcscott filed out to Ban croft. Speaker drew his second base on balls and went to second on Hob litzel's out. Stock to Luderus. Stock momentarily fumbled the ball, but got it across the diamond in time.

Paskert here cut off a run by making a fine running catch of Gardner's long fly. ending the inning. Alexander opened Philadelphia's half by going out. Barry to Hoblitze. Third Baseman Stock got a base on balls which was wildly cheered. Then came the play which many felt was the turning point of the game. Bancroft sent low drive toward center field. " Base on Balls Brinies Din. Barry made a great effort and got it and was about to make a quick throw to second and a double play, but Scott was not near the bag. The shortstop evidently did not realize that Barry could field the ball and was slow in starling to the base. The result was that Stock and Bancroft were safe. The Philadelphia crowd set up a terrific din as Paskert received a base on balls filling the bases. "Hit'er out Gavvy!" yelled the crowd as the home-run slugger came to the plate. Cravath tried hard to accom modate and drove a hot grounder to Scott. There was little time to get Stock at the plate and he scored as Scott threw out Cravath. the other run ners moving up. Luderus hit a slow grounder, which Shore had trouble getting and Ban croft rushed home with the Phillies' third run. A double steal was tried, but Luderus was out at second. Cady to Scott.

ALEXANDER IS VICTOR (Continued From First Page). that the supporters of the defeated Red Sox have lengthened the betting odds they are willing to give on that team for the remainder of the series. Shore Has Honors Three Innings. For three innings today the honors of the game were all with the tall young Boston twirler who had been sent in to oppose Alexander. In the last half of the fourth, however, it was Shore himself who gave the Phillies an opportunity to score their first run. This run was typical of the three which went the way of the locals. Paskert dropped a Texas leaguer back of first base just out of reach of Hoblitzel. Cravath was sent in to sacrifice and sent a rast bunt directly at Shore. The latter picked the ball up cleanly and had plenty of time to throw Paskert out at second. Much to the surprise of his teammates, however, he shot the ball to first, where Cravath was an easy out. Luderus went out from Barry to Hoblitzel as Paskert raced to third. Then Whitted barely met a last one irom snore ana the ball went weakly bounding in the infield just over tne pitcher s head. Barry made a great try for an out, but Whitted reached first a half step ahead of the throw and Paskert was safely across with a run which seemed for several innings to be the only one that either team could put across. Speaker, however, was given a base on balls on Boston's half of the eighth, after Scott was out, and went to sec ond on Hoblitzel's infield out. Lewis, who had fanned on his two previous trips to the plate, singled to left and Speaker scored, "Duffy" taking second on the throw-in. It was here that C This modest man doesn't want to dis cover that 7th point. CJ It would make him too famous Gum 5? -Tho-point Qum PEPPERMINT-IN RED WRAPPER CINNAMON - IN BLUE WRAPPER Paskert saved the game with his start ling catch of Gardner's drive. Paskert has suffered much In all preliminary comparisons wiCb Speaker, who he op poses in center held, but that one catch today gave him a warm place In the hearts of the Philadelphia people. The way Shore and Alexander were working at this time indicated the game might go extra innings, but in the Phillies' half of the eighth came the decision. Alexander had proved an easy out. Shore got a bit careless and passed Stock. Bancroft then shot the hit over second which gave Barry the opportunity to make a miraculous stop with his bare right hand. Barry, re covering his balance, started to toss the ball to second to force Stock, but the bag was bare. Too late, Scott realized his duty and started on a dead run for the keystone sack. In a forlorn hope, Barry shot the ball to him. but Stock was safe and there were two on instead of two out- At this critical juncture Shore be came unsteady and passed Paskert. The bases were full and "Gavvy" Cra vath. the home-run champion of the National League, with a particular fondness for the short fences of the Phillies' park, was at the bat. The crowd was shouting itself hoarse for "Gavvy" to hit "out of the lot." Shore proved that he was willing to take a chance, however, by breaking tho first ball cer the plate for a strike. The best Cravath eventually could do was to send a slow bounder to Scott at third, it seemed to many in the stand that Scott had time for the play at the plate, but he shot the ball to first instead and Stock raced over with the winning run. Then Luderus hit a weak little grounder toward Shore. The ball took a bad roll in the mud just t.s Shore whs reaching for it and Bancroft came over for the third and last ran of the gime. Manager Car rigan sent two pinch hitters to the plate in the ninth but could not get a man to second Alexander outpitched Shore n every way except in the number of hits al lowed. "Alex" gave but two bases on balls, as against Shore's four and he struck out six men. while Sh'ore fanned but two. Boston had nine men left on bases, as against Philadephia's five. Players Get 927,000. Rain last night and early today threatened a postponement of the game, which eventually was played under a brilliant October sun with scarcely a cloud in the sky. The cozy little grounds of the Phillies were filled to the limit, despite the fact that the of ficial attendance was announced as short of 20.000. probably the smallest crowd that ever witnessed a start of a world's series. The official attendance was 19,343 The total receipts S51.066: National Commission's share. J5.106.60: players' share. 27.i75.64; each club's share. $9 -191. 88. Every effort was made to get the playing field in condition, but it was wet and soggy throughout and had much to do with robbing the game of possible brilliance. There is much speculation tonight as to the batteries for tomorrow's game It seems taken for granted that Morans choice for the Phillies would be either Chalmers or Mayer, while Carngan will send either Foster or Leonard in for the Red Sox.
