MANAGER PAT MORAN EAGER TO MEET RED SOX IN SERIES FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

•Tm not talking about any pennants or world’s championships,” said Pat Moran, “but if ever I have the luck to land a winner in Cincinnati I only hope the Boston Red Sox will be topliners in the American league. “That’s one ambition of my life —to some day have a club that will beat those lucky people. They had given it all up and were packing their bats to go home when Snodgrass made that muff in 1912. Against my old team they won by transferring the games from the Red Sox park to the Braves’ field. Twice, at the Braves’ field, Cactus Cravath made drives that would have sailed over the fence at Fenway and won two games for my club—and Duffy Lewis caught them both. Then, in Philadelphia, what happened? We had forgotten to take a little pen. a small fenced lot, out of the center field, and they popped two home runs into that tiny quadrangle.”
