10. The country's leading baseball teams, the Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans, came to this city today to resume here tomorrow their scries lor the championship of the world. Each has scored a victory in the two opening installments of the games just finished at Philadelphia, and their overnight transfer brought the teams to the scene of their further test of equal terms. Indications tonight were that tomorrow's game would be noteworthy at least for the attendance. The crowd undoubtedly will bo the greatest that has ever seen a world's series contest, and possibly Quakers Make Runs When Sox Pitchers Put Them on Bases the greatest that has ever seen a baseball game, it probably will ex- ceed 43,000 peisons.

The Redsox have hammered the offerings of Alexander and Mayer to all portions of the ball field except in pinches. And there they have failed miserably. TheyS Hooper rf. ro 3b 5 Ntitt Huncroft ss. -i mf.

FULL HOUSE EXPECTED. The yard of the Braves hold something like people and there will be that many present at the same tomorrow. It is the first game of the series to be played in Boston and with the clubs etandinp D0-50 at this time, the haunt of the wiid baked bean and the mad-broiled scrod finds itself genteelly agitated. Not that a world's series ia any novelty to Boston not at all.

But they lave not out-run the Phillies and it's the runs that decide who is to get the larger share of the world series' spoils. The Sox during both games have scored an average of one run for every seven and two-third men who got on the bases; the Phillies have scored a run for every three and one-fourth men who reached the finst bag in safety.

In every inning of Friday's game the Sox had one or two men on bases; in every inning but the ninth in that first game they got a hit off Alexander, but only once did fhey deliver the wallop in the pinch deliver when a hit meant a score. The Sox in Saturday's game hammered Mayer for ten hits, including a double, and worked him for two bases on balls.

Friday, for the Phillies had a scare thrown among them in the eighth when the Redsox tied up the score. However, Aleck twirled a masterly game, notwithstanling the handicap of chilly atmosphere and a wet field, He never permitted more than one hit per inning and was able to tighten up the reins when men were on bases, with that single exception the eighth. At any rate he won his game. Who -will pitch in today's clash in the Hub is a question that many fans would like to h3ve answered positively in advance.
