GREATEST CROWD '
SEES RIG BATTLE
Alexander's Ultimate Fate as
Inevitable as Great
v Law of Gravity.

Double Burden Too -Much for Bis
Aebratan and It Is Xo Wonder
He Fell In Fight lor Iife,"
Says lit pert Grantland Rice.
! BY URANTLAXD HCE.
BOSTON Mass. Oct. 11. (Special.)
This in the golden age of scientific
research. Forty two thousand and three
hundred sturdy New Knglanders and
ruest. paid $83,191 today to observe
whether or not the guy who invented
arithmetic was right when he said that
one wasn't equal to three. They are
willing to admit now that the fellow
knew uomething, and that old Henry W.
.Arithmetic was approximately correct.
One preat pitcher isn't as useful as
three great pitchers especially when
the lone star is working against a hard
hitting club. One by one Carrigan has
unrolled his pitching films and in each
case a star has flushed upon the main
reel. First it was Shore. Then it was
Koster and today it fell to the lot of
Herbert B. Leonard the Red Sox" south
paw, to break through the Alexandrian
barrier and put Boston put in front by
the count of 2 to 1.
The greatest crowd that ever paid
to see a ball game in the 50-year his
tory of the sport saw Alexander battle
in vain against a tide that was not to
be stemmed, the double tide of power
that came from Dutch Leonard's arm
and from the Boston bats. They saw
the great Nebraskan struggle against
this double fate with all the courage
and all the skill he had, until Hooper
singled in the ninth and a lusty crack
from Duffy Lewis' brought him home.
Alex" Burden Double.
These 42.000 and more, forming the
greatest human fringe in baseball an
nals, saw big Alex caught between an
offense and a defense that made his
ultimate fate as inevitable as the law
of gravity. He was against n offense
tht came charging in with speed and
power, and upon the other wing he
faced a defense that was not to be
broken by the futile Phllly attack.
Vnder this double burden it was no
"wonder that he fell where only a
super phenom could have scrambled
safely through.
The job they put up to him was be
yond the skill of any one pitcher in
the game today. With a club that was
able to give him a few runs, he might
have rambled on to glory; but pitching
for a club batting under .125 against a
club batting better than .250 is an as
signment that belongs to a cannon or
n machine gun, beyond the range of
anything composed merely of human
flesh.
The third game was California day
In the big series. . Harry Hooper, of
Santa Clara, scored the winning run.
Duffy Lewis, of San Francisco, blew
himself to three solid blows, but even
above these two "Dutch" Leonard, of
Fresno, absorbed the spotlight. The
stocky Teuton, who first ironed out the
kinks in his left arm at St. Mary's
College, stopped those Phillies with a
thud that must have been heard above
the roar of the cannonading in Flan
ders. lewls and Duffy Save Uiy,
In the third round, only Leonard
wavered. In this dizzy chapter only
the brilliant fielding of Jack Barry arid
Duffy Lewis pulled him through with
his hide and shirt still on. After Burns
had opened with a single and Hobby
had muffed the peg on Alexander's sac
rifice. Stock sacrificed and Bancroft
scored Burns with a hit.
The Phllly attack at last was Retting
under way. Paskert followed with a
short fly back of second, which Barry
took over his shoulder, one of the great
plays of the year.
This wonderful catch saved a run
and u hit, as Alexander was then on
third. Cravath followed with a mighty
wallop to deop left, which Lewis pulled
down almost ugainst the far-away
fence, and as that long blow' dropped
into a Ked Sox glove, the Phillies
ceased firing for the day. From that
Point they were pitched to death. Ha
ing escaped from a grotto of doom with
his scalp still intact, Leonard settled
down to the exclusive assignment ot
grinding the enemy into the mud.
Not a Man Reaehex I'M rut.
Not a man reached first base for the
last six rounds. One by one they came
to the plate in order, only ,to be turned
back towards the bench. There was
renewed confidence in the southpaw's
work when Speaker tripled in the
fourth and scored on Hobby's outfield
fly. With the count tied up, Leonard
pitched Alexander oft the field. He
had more stuff than the Phillies had
ever seen emanate from a left arm.
Fine speed, fine control and the proper
sort of curve were the three main
agencies he employed to start the
Phillies down tho soapy chute. He not
only had the stuff, but he knew where
to put it, and it was only a matter of
how long Alexander could buck a los
ing game. The Philadelphian held on
until the ninth, when Hooper singled,
Scott sacrificed. Speaker walked and
Lewis cracked one beyond Bancroft's
quivering fingertips.
There are those today who are be
rating the Phillies for the softness of
their punch. But these should remem
ber that said Phillies are up against
one of the most staunch, stalwart de
fenses baseball has ever known. A de
fense that extends three trenches deep
starting with the pitching, moving
back to the infield and then on to the
outfield, the club that breaks through
the first is only one-third of the way
to success. For. even with the pitch
ing and- infield trenches passed, there
are still Lewis, Speuker and Hooper for
the final barrier.
Today the Phillies in the third in
ning charged by Leonard in their first
assault. But In the second they were
repulsed by the infield when Barry
made his star catch, and In the third
assault, against the outfield, Lewis
barred the way.
Ked Sox Defense Impregnable.
This Red Rox defense, once keyed up,
is almost impregnable to assault. Be
fore scoffing at the Phillies, it is well
enough to remember thta the Tiger at
tack, led by Cobb. Crawford and Veach,
met the same gory fate. Also that the
Vhite Sox' charge, led by Collins. Four
nier and Jackson, was almost as hope
less. If Cobb. Crawford. Veach. Cava
naugh. Fournier. Jackson and Collins,
masters of the intricate art of mauling
the pill, failed to hammer their way
through this Red Sox triple line of de
fense, why should any one expect the
lighter batting Phils to turn the trick?
The answer is fairly simple.
They shouldn't.
When Alexander walked dejectedly
from the field this afternoon, beaten
in his second start, the cause of the
Phillies assumed a mottled blue aspect.
They have come against pitching that
they can't hit. They have come
against a club outbatting them more
than two to one, 24 hits against 11
up to date. They have met a club
stronger upon defense and stronger
In attack, as the season's records will
show; a club that has no weakness of
which to speak. Their one chance was
for Alexander to win three games and
have Mayer or Chalmers come through
with another.
That chance now, cut thinner with
Alexander's defeat," is up to George
Chalmers in - the fourth affair. If
Chalmers fails, it is only a question of
five games or eix before Boston ab
sorbs her fourth world's championship
out of four starts, dating from 1905,
when Bill Dineen and Cy Young over-w-helmed
Doc Phillips and Sam Leeve-.
Alexander Hit Hard.
, The Phillies' main chance, after all,
was Alexander, and. in both starts he
has been hit fairly hard, despite the
low scoring. His yield has been 14
hits, and most of them were delivered
on the crest of the beak. The Phillies
have augmented less than four hits to
a game, and of their 11 hits only seven
have been clean drives, bereft of any
fuzz. You can call this weak batting
it you care to, but you will be wrong.
It is rather more great pitching and
fielding.
You can call It weak batting if you
also care to figure Cobb, Crawford.
Collins and Jackson as being effemi
nate with the mace. Against this de
fense the Phillies couldn't even score
in the first round, when the sun spotted
them two bases on Stock's opening
punch to Speaker. With Stock on third
and but one out, Leonard enticed a foul
pop from Paskert, and struck Gravath
out. Yet, you would hardly call Gavvy
any pigmy with the punching rod.
Fred Luderus finished second in bat
ting in the National League, yet Leon
ard fanned him three times in a row.
If Luderus Is a punk hitter, the records
might as well be tossed overboard. And
there is something more than defense
in this Red Sox club, as good as that
defense is.
Hope Sun in Pbillie Breast.
If you don't believe Speaker or Duffy
Lewis can hit, ask Alexander, who was
rated a pretty fair pitcher from April
through September in a 50-game test.
Lewis alone has tapped big' Alex for a
.625 average in his two starts, withi
five clean swats out of eight trips to
the plate.
The Phillies may yet win. ust as
anything may happen in baseball. A
cictory for Chalmers tomorrow may in
spire them beyond thiir natural speed.
But, when Alexander, their main hope,
was overthrown; their radiant dream
of 60 per cent of an 80,000 pot lost a
big segment of its early promise. In
spite of being out-hit, they have had
their chances to win, but with both fate
and that Red Sox defense-against them,
the chances went to early seed. If they
yet can rally and devise some attack
that will carry those triple lines of
Boston's defenses, pitching, infieldlng
and outfielding, they can make several
hundred times more than 60 per cent
of the net by selling the secret to a
few million folks on a 300-mile Euro
pean front who are looking for exactly
that same method.
In either case, the situation requires
bigger guns than the attacking parties
have in stock. The one Philly chance
now Is that fate will come to their aid
with enough correct breaks to disman
tle completely the effervescent dope,
otherwise their cause is back in the
bogs.
FINAL WORKOUTS HELD

ELEVENS GO THROUGH PACES.
Teams Make First Appearance in
League Match This Sciwi Today
on Multnomah Field.
The final workouts of Columbia Uni
versity and the Lincoln High School
football squads prior to their game on
Multnomah Field held this afternoon,
were held yesterday. Coach Callicrate
will have his collegians out on the
campus, while Coach Borleske will look
over his prospects on Multnomah field.
Today's contest marks the third
one of ' the Portland Interscholastic
League for the 1915 season, and it is
the first appearance of each aggrega
tion in a league match this year. A.
Townsend Kurtz, who two years ago
was a tower of strength on the Co
lumbia University eleven, registered at
Lincoln High this Fall, but a ruling or
the local league reads that a student
who changes from one Portland school
to another must be enrolled one year
before lie can represent the institution
in the Portland Interscholastic League.
Kurtz did not attend school last Fall,
but it was decided by the directors that
he is not eligible to represent the Rail
splitters. Now Kurtz is thinking of
entering Columbia University again, as
he has two more years to play. He was
the biggest star of the Lincoln High
Astoria High contest on Multnomah
field two weeks ago.
The game this afternon will start

Stock then fouled off two, giving him
two strikes and the next pitch he 1-.
go by was a bad one. .Then Stock
caught a beautiful curve on the end of
his bat and sailed it out to center field.
Tris Speaker hardly had to move for
the ball and apparently set himself
for an easy out, but he lost the ball
in the brilliant sun, and it fell safe a
few feet In front of him. Stock took
two bases on the play.
Bancroft Sacrifice, for Stock.
It was evident that it was- up to
Bancroft to sacrifice Stock to third,
and "Banny" did so after one strike
had been called. Gardner got the bunt
and threw him out.
Paskert was called upon for a sac
rifice fly. With three balls and one
strike, he sent up a high foul, which
Gardner gathered in near the Ked Sox
bench. "Gavvy Cravath was unable
to fathom Leonard's twirling and
struck out on the fifth pitched ball.
Hooper, first up for the American
Leaguers, had one strike and two balls
on him when he sent a hard fly to
Cravath. Scott let two bad balls go
by. and then was struck out on three
pitches.

Hoblltzel Proven Easy.
For Boston, Hoblitzel was an easy

base patll, where Alexander scooped it
up and touched the runner as he passed.

ting hero of the afternoon, obtained
his first hit here by shooting a screech

steal. Burns was evidently expecting
it, ana as he caught the pitch he
stepped aside and made a beautiful
throw to Bancroft, who touched Lewie
as he plunged into the base. This ended
Boston s attempts at stealing. Gardner
filed to Whitted, retiring the side.

Bonn Throws Oat at Pint.
Eddie Burns in the fifth let three
wide balls go by him, took two strikes,
sent a short bounder to Leonard and
was . thrown out at first. Alexander
also was thrown out by Leonard.
Leonard had some trouble getting rid
of Stock. The batter had three balls,
two strikea and had fouled off a pitch
when he raised a short fly that Hooper
ran in to meet, retiring the National
Leaguers.
The Red Sox went at Alexander's
Pitching with much confidence in their
half of the fifth inning, freely swing
ing on the ball. Uardner sent a long
fly to Paskert.
Barry raised one that Whitted took
care of, and Carrigan dropped out an
other long fly to Paskert. It was Pas
kerfs fifth put out In the preceding
two innings and his seventh In the
game to that point. As an indication
oi now Boston was landing on Alex
ander's pitching, -the record at that
ste of the game showed that the
r-nuaaeipnia outfield had made 10 of
the 15 putouts.
Cravath Kails II la Reputation.
Bancroft shot up a high fly to the
infield which Carrigan caught near the
pitchers' box. Paskert grounded to
Barry, who made a quick throw to first
for the out. The outfielders again
backed toward the fence as Cravath
came up, but the home-run driver did
not live up to nis reputation, sending-
a weak grounder to Gardner and wasH
tnrown out.
Th eAmerican Leaguers went mi in
order in their half of the sixth: Leon
ard struck out. Luderus managed to
get tiooper b last bounder and tossed
the runner out to Alexander, who cov
ered tirst base. Scott sent up a high
ioui ny which Burns caught near the
grandstand.
Luderoa Fans for Third Time,
Luderus, coming up in the seventh
Inning for his last time at bat fanned
for the third time. Whitted was thrown
out by Scott on a pretty play. Niehoff.
also coming up for the last time, struck
out. It was Nlehoff's ninth time up in
me inree games witnout making a hit.
.Boston s seventh opened with great
promise, but a lightning double play
that came so quickly that It dazen the
Red Sox and their wildly cheering fol
lowers, killed off the scoring. Speak
er slammed a single to left field, Hob
litzell chopped the ball in front of the
plate.
Burns was upon it in a flash. The
ball bounded up just right for him to
make a clean pick up. Hozlitzel hesi
tated, undetermined whether the hit
was a foul or fair.
Lightning Throw Starts Play.
Burns made a lightnins- throw to
Bancroft, who touched second, forcing
the speedy Speaker, and whipped the
Dan to Luderus for a double play. The
Boston players were apparently
stunned by the swiftness of the play.
They claimed the ball Hoblitzel had hit
was roul. but Chief Umpire O'Laugh
lln waved them aside and palled:
"Next batter. up!"
Apparently the Philadelphia out
fielders were not sure of the play, for
Alexander raised two fingers to them,
indicating two out. Lewis got a
scratchy single to the infield, but was
lert on rirst base as Gardner sent a
long fly to Cravath.
For Philadelphia, in the eighth.
Burns flied to Speaker, the outfielder's
first putout. Alexander was a victim
of strikes and then Speaker retired the
side by taking a long drive off Stock's
Dat.
Leonard Sews lp Phillies In Ninth.
Only three batters faced Alexander
in Boston's half of the eighth. Barry
filed out to Bancroft. Manager Carri
gan struck out on four pitched balls,
and Pitcher Leonard shot a low line
drive to Bancroft.
Leonard had the Phillies complete
ly sewed up in the ninth, and It looked
like extra innings. Bancroft hit Leon
ard's second pitch to Gardner and was
thrown out. Carrigan caught Paskert's
high fly Just inside the foul line. Cra
vath went out the same way he did in
the sixth inning. Gardner to Hoblitzel.
Then came the finish. With two
strikes and no balls. Hooper laced a
single to right field.
Carrigan did not send in a pinch
hitter for Scott, as he did in Phila
delphia, when he sent Henriksen to
bat, but let the shortstopper go to the
plate. Scott was careful and laid down
a sacrifice bunt, Niehoff gathering up
the ball and tossing it to Luderus,
Hooper going to second.
Throns Cheers for Speaker.
More than 40,000 people were on their
feet, yelling like mad as Speaker came
to the plate. There Vas a brief con
ference between Alexander. Burns and
Luderus. with the result that Speaker
was purposely walked.
Hoblitzel grounded out, Niehoff to
Luderus, Hooper going to third. It
was then up to Lewis. He caught the
first ball pitched squarely on his bat
and shot it over second, and Hooper
brought home the bacon.

GLOOM VEILS PHILADELPHIA
Alexander's Defeat Heavier on lns
Than Lose, of Game.
PHILADRLPHIA, Oct, 11. A big.
black cloud of gloom settled down upon
tho heads of fans fathered around
scoreboards in all sections of the city
today when Hooper raced home with
the run that gave tho Boston Amer
icans th third game of tho world's
series. For a moment the throngs
stood as If transfixed, t.nd then began
to wend their way homeward in silence,
apparently taking the defeat of their
idol, the "Mighty" Alexander, more to
heart than tho loss of the game. Sup
porters of the Phillies had held that the
big Nebraskan would be almont in
vincible against the Ited Sox, and fig
ured he would win all his games.
Philadelphia fans, despite the fact
that tho series stands two game to ono
in favor of the Bostonians, are still
optimistic of the final result. They
point witn prme to tne nhowinp made
by the National League champions In
all departments of the game except hit
ting, and place their faith in Chalmers
or Rixey to hold the hard-hitting Red
Sox in check. At the ?ame time they
hope the Phillies will find their bat
ting eyes and even up the series.
Several wagers were made here to
night on evens on the outcome of to
morrow's game. . but there was- little
Philadelphia money in Fight on the
final result, notwithstanding the heavy
odds offered.
