They made these three runs on five of the flukiest hits the game has ever known, a Texas leaguer which developed into the first run being the only safe ball driven out of the diamond by a Philadelphia batsman.

It was a mediocre ball game, 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. 'Hoblitzell, Boston first baseman, ignominously ended a first inning Boston attack when he lapsed into slumber and was caught almost flat-footed off first base by a quick toss from Alexander to Luderus for the third out. Hooper was on third and Lewis 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 that the game was tossed away. Young Scott, at short for the Sox, stood transfixed as he watched Barry make a wonderful stop of a drive from Bancroft, 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 Ernest Shore. Shore Pitches Brilliantly Shore pitched a splendid game, but all the luck was against him. The "breaks" which went the way of the Phillies seemed to upset him at times and his fielding was very shaky. For three innings honors were all with Shore.

In the last half of the fourth, however, it was Shore himself who gave the Phillies an opportunity leaguer back or nrst reach of Hoblitzel. Cravath was sent in to sacrifice and Shore. sent a fast bunt who picked the ball up cleanly and had plenty of time to throw Paskert at second. Much to the surprise of his teammates, however, he shot the ball to first, wnere an easy out. Luderus went out, Barry to Hoblitzel, Paskert raced to third.

Then Whitted barely met a fast one and the ball went weakly bounding into the infield just over the pitcher head. Barry made a great try for an out but Whitted reached first half a step ahead of the throw and Paskert was safely acrpss the plate. Speaker was given a pass in Boston's half of the eighth after Scott was out, and went to second on Hob-litzel's infield out. Lewis singled to left and Speaker scored, Duffy taking second on the throw-in. It was here that Paskert saved the game with his startling catch of Gardner's drive.

In the Phillies half of the eighth came the decision. Alexander proved an easy out. Shore passed Stock. Bancroft then shot the hit over second which gave Barry the opportunity to make a miracle stop with his bare right hand. Barry, recovering 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 keystoue. 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 became unsteady and walked Paskert. Cravath sent a slow bounder to Scott, near' third. Scott decided he had no chance to catch Stock, and so he shot the ball to first 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 as Shore 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0-1 Philadelphia 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 -3 Stolen bases, Whitted, Hoblitzell; earned runs, Boston 1, Philadelphia sacrifice hits, Scott, Gardner Cady, Cravath; left on bases, Boston 9, Phila-Hoinhia 5: bases on errors, Boston 1, Philadelphia bases on Dans, on Aiexr ander 2, off Shore struck out, by Alexander 6, by Shore umpires, at olate Klem; bases, O'Loughlm; left field Evans; right field, Rigler.

Grover Cleveland Alexander won his game from the Boston Red Sox yesterday, but the victory was far from being the impressive one his teammates of the Philadelphia Nationals had predicted. The "breaks" of the game were with the star pitcher of the National League and they had to be to give him the honor of winning the first world's series contest in which he has participated.

9. The Syracuse University crew may not have an opportunity to show its skill at Poughkeep-sie next June. The peculiar financial condition of the Syracuse Athletic Association and the firm stand of Chancellor Day may compel a cessation of crew activities. This complex situation is the out-tome of the financial condition of the Daily Orange, the colege newspaper published by the Athletic Association. Last spring 1,700 students petitioned to have $2 added to the incidental fees to pay for the publication of the paper.

However, on the chancellor's recommendation $2 was taken from the athletic dues for the purpose and the incidental fees were to remain the same. This causes a loss of revenue of $8,000 a year to the Athletic Association. Chancellor Day demands that the paper be published according to ruling of the trustees. However, if 2,500 students voluntarily subscribe for the paper the chancellor has agreed to return to the Athletic Association the $8,000 deducted from the athletic dues. A three weeks' campaign has failed so far.

Unless the full number of subscriptions is realized, Graduate Manager Walter Smith has announced, the financial obligations of the Athletic Association will prevent the long sweeping stroke of Coach Ten Eyck's proteges from being seen at the Pough-keepsie regatta in June, 1916.

America's Greatest Cigarette Maiers of the Highest CradeTMisk .2 I end tpicnCAirettesintheVMd MAY MONEY SCARCITY 1 Told by In his address at the dedication of Schoellkopf Field and clubhouse today George W. Bacon of New York City, chairman of the Alumni Field Committee, told the story of the fourteen years campaign for this great enterprise.

His speech follows: "President Schurman, Friends and Fellow Cornellians: "On behalf of the two alumni field committees appointed by the Board of Trustees of the University and by the Associated Alumni, I want to assure you that it is a genuine privilege and a source of much satisfaction to those of us who have been striving for Alumni Field to meet with you here today; to return to this spot and witness the realization of our dream of fourteen years ago, an adequate athletic field upon the Campus; to mingle with you in the dedication to our physical and mental development of these magnificent structures, this nerve center of Alumni Field. "For we are met here because of the loyal devotion to our Alma Mater of some 1,400 Cornell men and women, who beginning in 1901 inaugurated the movement which has resulted in Alumni Field; because the president and "the board of trustees of our University, with a broad-minded vision characteristic of the men who have welded its destinies, made instant response to the suggestion of a campus athletic field, worthy of Cornell traditions and ample for its necessities, by designating and alloting for the athletic purposes without stint from university prcperty this superb area which lies before us; because at a subsequent time when the storm clouds of impending delay loomed threateningly, there came forward a few men who recognized in Alumni Field the opportunity for a fitting memorial to the life and the ideals of a staunch friend, to Henry Schoellkopf, in this Memorial Building before which we congregate; because the eight grandchildren of Jacob Schoellkopf, as a tribute of honor aind affection, under the leadership of our valued friend, Paul Schoellkopf, made themselves responsible for this splendid stadium and this Schoellkopf Field; and finally, because you, the undergraduates ofthis university, and those who preceded you, have demonstrated to the whole world beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a well nurtured physique is the hand maiden to the most efficient development of the mind; and so, thanks to the correlation of these forces, to the vitality and to the inspiration which permeates these hills, we now inaugurate the permanent return to the its foster mother, of Cornell's field athletics; the quadrangle of yesterday has become the Alumni Field of today. History of Project. "I cannot tell you who first conceived the idea of an adequate athletic field upon the Campus, doubtless many had hoped for it, but I can tell you its source to me, namely a sort of tripartite coalition which I have since recognized as a conspiracy, consisting of that wizard of the test tube, your and my professor of chemistry, L. M.

Dennis, at that time the president of the Athletic Council; W. F. Atkinson, '95, and F. O. Affeld, '97, the adroit directness of whom I came to admire anew after I found myselfr through subsequent action by the Associate Alumni, a co-laborer on the Alumni Field subscription committee, all as the result of what then in the spring of 1901, seemed like a harmless dinner invitation to the Crescent Club, Brooklyn, for a discussion of the suW ject with this concocter of chemical combinations.

I only trust they all are by this time satisfied with the reaction they then succeeded in obtaining. "Your older brothers, my undergraduate friends, can tell you if you don't remember, providing they have ever so much as once set foot at Cornell, how that first committee, consisting of Clyde P. Johnson, '93; Thomas McNeil, '95, who met an untimely death (and a more ardent worker for the cause never lived) and was succeeded by Wililam F. Atkinson, '95; Clinton R. Wyckoff, '98; Robert J.

Thorne, '97, and myself, went about in the fall of 1901 the raising of the initial sum of $40,000 in order that we might suitably approach the Board of Trustees of the University with a request for the use, for athletic purposes, of a suitable part of the then university farm, where we later received fifty-seven acres, from the heart of the farm, making it necessary for the university to acquire land further east for its agricultural purposes. "Now by the fall of 1902 we had the amount pledged when the Board of Trustees, in response to our request, at once appointed a committee to investigate the whole subject, whose report made in the following June, 1903, was unanimously adopted, which report designated and allotted for playgrounds and athletic fields the fifty-seven-acre tract extending from Garden avenue on the west to Judd's Falls road on the east, which boundaries were subsequently modified to the present ones, without, however, changing the area comprised, the con sideration for the allotment of this whole tract being the agreement of the Alumni Field subscription committee to pay to a committee to be appointed by the trustees of the university to be expended on the field within three years, the sum of $40,000 of whih the first expenditure of not less than $10,000 was to be for university playgrounds. Both of these obligations were fulfilled, the reply of the subscription committee's principals, the Associate Alumni, to the of subscriptions received for this purpose being, well done, good and faithful servants; go and raise a hundred thousand dollars more. New Committee Named. "Then it was that the board of trustees appointed the second committee, known as the trustees' committee, to take charge of the work of designins G.

W. Bacon and constructing the field, consisting of Trustees Henry W. Sackett, Robert II. Treman and Charles II. Blood, Professor William F.

Durand, president of the Athletic Council (later succeeded by Professor Frank Irvine and then by Professor AVilard W. Rowlee) and myself, to which subsequently have been added Willard Straight and Paul A. Schoellkopf, which committee I feel in justice to my associates thereon, I must here state, has to a rare degree lavished its time and its talents in solving the many problems which demanded skillful handling in order that not only the most desirable design of the field should be had, but one within the financial means of the committee to develop. Let me add that this committee is still actively at work preparing for the field's further development, still willing to guarantee that any money reaching its jurisdiction will, invested in Alumni Field, earn dividends that even both the public service commissions of this great state combined and backed by President Schurman's brand new constitution, cannot regulate. So thus it was that we started, with scouts in the person of that subscription committee, on the war path beyond the breastworks, with a real message from Garcia, to the then 15,000 Cornellians wherever situated, fpr we circled the globe, reporting through the Associate Alumni by whom they were appointed, to the trustees committee in charge of the direction and development of the Field.

$161,000 in Subscriptions. "Since then there have been secured from the alumni generally subscriptions aggregating $161,399, and through the generosity of the donors to whom I have referred the further sum of $175,000 of which amounts there have been expended to this date $307,516 in order to bring Alumni Field to its present state of development; the item of grading alone in this work aggregated 240,000 cubic yards. You see Alumni Field didn't fall flat. "Time will not permit my telling you of even some of the more important details in the history of the Field's development, of how the subscription committee organized geographically through Alumni Associations, through classes, through the various departments of University work, in fact in every conceivable way which seemed possible under the broadest application of that delightfully abstruse theory of permutations and combinations which I suppose is still with some of you. Engineers were brought into play against engineers, romance lan guage fellows were sent romancing, physicists and doctors were called in many desperate cases, the lawyers were given roaming commissions, and many of them, I regret to say, roamed off our map, but withal the Cornell world was stirred by our plans for your athletic necessities.

"I would tell you something of the great number of studies for th.e field's development participated in by the university athletic council, the de partment of physical culture, the athletic managers, the coaches, the athletes themselves, and many other Cornell men whose experience and judgment was sought, reinforced by the best practice of the other universities confronted with similar problems; just here I want to emphasize that wise provision of the allotment of the land by the board of trustees which designated that some 25 acres at least should be constituted as University playgrounds, as a place where any student could indulge in any athletic recreation. In other words, from the outset it was recognized that Alumni Field must be developed so that its appeal would be made to each University student, regardless of athletic affiliations. Herein in our judgment is to be found that impenetrable foundation upon which we can build without fear or favor and in a manner worthy of the best traditions of University athletics. "Today approximately 80 per cent, of the entire Alumni Field area is devoted to such student playgrounds, a provision for general Student play recreation second to none, so far as I know, in all the world, universities. "In fact, as we contemplate Alumni Field, possessing as it does the opportunity for the tens of thousands of young men who will in the years to come avail themselves of its life giving qualities, is not the conviction profoundly borne in upon us that gifts such as those which here commemorates the ideals of a fellow student, create an essential part of our University equipment, if its graduates are to be best prepared to take up the real battles of life? Who is there waging life's contests who doesn't daily draw upon that storehouse of physical energy inherited from a well ordered youth developed in the open air in contest with his fellows? What price is there that we would not pay for a nimbleness of body to keep pace with the mind? And so I ask you, can there be any doubt that the men who have created Alumni Field and the men who will complete it, are makers of day manhood to which may well be entrusted the solution of the ever growing problems of our country? Tribute to Architects "While I cannot refrain from expressing our committee's warmth of appreciation of splendid work which its architects, Messrs.

Gibb Waltz, have performed in the design of the Schoellkopf Memorial and of Schoellkopf Field with this magnificent stadium, as well as the designs for future development, to follow as finances permit, upon the baseball field and Kite Hill, yet at the same time I want all here to know and to appreciate as do those who have followed the development of Alumni, jxazors ISBK are ona ituuuicr.
