BOSTON WINS SECOND GAME
Gil Anderson Victor at Sizeep_éhead Bay

i
NATIONAL LEAGUE PARK, PHILADELPHIA, Oc. 9.—The
Big Series is all square. Boston took the second game this after.
noon, 2 to 1, in two hours of hectic striving before 20,606 fans who
were on the verge of hysterics most of the time. |
To Foster, Boston's great right-hander, belongs the lion's
share for the victory. He pitched grand ball; he was absolutely
unhittable in all but one inning—and he got three hits, the last
driving over the run that won the game in the ninth inning, when
Erskine Mayer seemed to have all his mates at his mercy.
Boston deserved to win. The
Red Sox outhit and outplayed
the National Leaguers; although
Philadelphia put up a wonderful
ly stubborn defense after the
opening inning, when a misplay
by Burns at the plate allowed
Hooper to score on a double steal
with Speaker, who went out at
second on the same play. Nie
hoff’s return was muffed by the
big catcher, and the run gave
Boston the needed start.
Touched for Ten Hits.
Mayer was touched up for ten hits,
three of them by his opponent on the
mound. Only in three innings did the
Sox fail to get on by clean punching,
and In the seventh they wasted three
hits without getting over a run. May
er was good in all the pinches but
the final crisis.
Philadelphia’s lone run came over
cleanly in the fifth frame. In the first
four fthnings they were turned back
in order by Foster's grand hurling,
not a man reaching first. Then in
the fifth, Cravath, first up, doubled
against the left field wall and Luder
us promptly sent him home with a
resounding wallop to center for two
bases. But Foster was cool under
punishment and by a great recovery
he prevented further scoring, aided
by a fine catch by Hobby of Niehoff's
line drive. Bancroft's single to cen
ter was the Phillies’ only other safe
hit of the contest,
Gate Totaled $52,029.
Mayer looked good against the
heavy hitters in the Boston line-up,
and a charge of pinch-hitters in the
gseventh failed to damage him, al
though the bases were filled at one
juncture. It was Foster's hitting that
provgd his undoing. One of Foster’s
wallops—his first one—was a double
that went to waste because his mates
could not bring him in.
The box office receipts totaled $52,-
029 for the second game of the se
ries.
FIRST INNING.
loqton——President Wwilson being
duly installed in the decorated box,
the ceremonies of the day began, with
Erskine Mayer confronting Hooper,
the lead-off man for the Red . Sox.
Umpire Rigler signaled for the game
to start, and Mayer's first pitch was
high—ball one. The bal was return
ed to President Wilson as a souvenir,
and Erskine had to use another nice
white pellet. He bent over a couple
of hooks for called strikes, and then
wasted one on the outside. Hooper
waited patiently and drew two more
balls and a pass. Mayer was a lit
tle shy with his peculiar underhand
delivery. Scott hit the first pitch for
a high pop to Luderus. Speaker did
not offer at the first pitch, which slip
ped over the corner for a strike. He
Jashed at the second and produced 8
foul for the second strike. Mayer
wasted one low on the outside and
followed with another which Tris
wouldn’t have. He fouled off a good
one, and Mayer wasted another. Tris
fouled off two more. Then he got
hold of a fast one and singled to right,
Hooper racing to third. Hoblitzel
came up with a fat chance for busi
ness, and Mayer bent over a called
strike, He wasted the next one, and
then Speaker went down on the next
pitch, bein gthrown out neatly by
Burns to Niehoff, It was a double

o-night
Atlanta had its first frost of the
season Friday night and the second
one is due Saturday night, accordipg
}to the weather man.
. The nip of last night was so slight
that no damage was done except to
the very tenderest of vegetation and
the one coming to-night is to be no
heavier, so there’s really no need to
move the hardy plants inside.
Sunday, according to the forecast,
is to be a delightful day—slightly
warmer, but still with a tinge of au
tumn that will make you feel right
pert. The skies are to be clear all
day, too, unless Mr. von Herrmann
has guessed wWrong.
While Atlanta was escaping lightly
the first touch of real autumn, some
other sections of the Bouth were not
so fortunate. Killing frosts were re
ported from Arkansas, Tennessee and
Misshssippl. At Milan, Tenn., the
temperature dropped to 32 degrees
and at Bollivar 3.

Clearings U
$6,000,000
This Week
The Atlanta Clearing House sta
tistles for the week ended Saturday
set a new record of gain, showing an
increasé in clearings of $6,023,729.45
over those of the same week last
year. A considerable Increase Wwas
shown dlso over last week.
The clearings in Atlanta for this
week aggregated $18,886,304.75,
against $12,862,665.30 the same week
last year. In addition to this, Sat
urday's clearings alone totaled $3,014,-
095.03, against $2,179,519.81 the cor
responding day a year ago, an in
crease of $834,575.22
During the week there were four
three-million-dollar days. With but
a few exceptions, the week's net ag
gregate has never peen exceeded.
Local bankers attribute the phe
nomenal increase In clearings to a
trade revival as the result of the pre
vailing cold weather and high price
of cotton. With cotton selling around
12 1-4 cents a pound, there is much
enthusiasm among business men and
people generally and local retallers
and wholesale men feel that they will
enjoy a brisk trade this fall. The
farmers are harvesting their cotton
rapidly and a big portion of it is be
ing sold as gathered.

voluntarily gave up Brussels, but Nish '
