What Rival Managers Say Regarding Opener

Manager Stalllngs, Braves. "Well, the boys did exactly what 1 expected of them and won on the'r merits. I hate to pull the 'I-told-you-so' stuff, but I guess that the fans are beginning to realize now that we have got a ball club of real class. When we started our rush in midseason it was generally predicted that we couldn't keep up the pace. The mourners have been waiting for us to crack ever since the end of July, but 1 guess that we can stand the strain of winning for a tew days more at least."

Manager Mack, Athletics. "Bender did not seem to be right, and had little or nothing on the ball. My men did little work with the stick, and although I look forward to a hard series, my players are not a bit discouraged over the initial setback. I think my players will find their hitting stride ana I feel confident that their real batting strength will be shown today."

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Oct. 10.— Facing Bonder as nonchalently as if he •were merely the second string hurler of a prairie outfit, and swatting him about that way, Boston's superconfident Braves licked Philadelphia's overconfident Athletics Friday by a score of 7 to 1 and won the first leg of the 1914 •world's pennant race with conspicuous ease.

The victory was as clean cut and decisive as the size of the score was surprising, and the great majority of the 20,562 spectators, most of whom were Philadelphians, of course, cheered the visiting athletes all the way.

Before Rudolph's brainy pitching the Mackmen, who have been tne terror of both leagues for so many years, curled up and hung their heads in chagrin, finding their bats useless and perforated much of the time. Against Bender's foxy flinging the Braves stood up confidently and whaled at it with such viclousness and success that the wily redskin, hero of many a world's combat In the past, faded from the picture before the sixth round was completed and -left his burden to a white man named Wyckoff.

Eight Hits Off Bender.

Eight solid, unmistakable base hits were peeled off Bender before Connie Mack finally gave up and sent his star to the tepee, and several of the swats were for extra cushions. Five scattered bingles were all the Athletics could get oft Rudolph, and he would have shut them out but for an error by Moran, who overplayed a fast bounding single by Strunk and let in the lone Mack tally.

Rudolph simply slow-balled the Athletics to death. He crossed them with wide breaking spitters and low breaking curves and more than once outguessed them, sneaking perfectly straight balls across for third strikes. Eight, strike-outs were run up by this doughty little hurler, and among his victims were some of the world's proudest batsmen. Twice he fanned Oldrlng and twice put Barry, prize pinch hitter, down on strikes. Collins was the only star who escaped Rudolph's wiles.

Sharing equally with Rudolph the ilaurels of the day, Gowdy broke into the center of the spotlight as chief slugger of the Boston outfit. This almost unknown backstop emerged from the initial fire test wit ha batting average that listened like perfection, for he peeled off three hits of assorted sizes

In three times at bat. A two bagger, a three bagger, a wall* and a single were Gowdy's contribution to the glorification of the bean pot, and he was equally fearless against the delivery of Bender and Wyckoff. Thus did the Braves' backstop Justify his manager's wisdom in elevating him to sixth place in the swatting order.

Schmidt and Maranville, considered »hitters of low degree, cut loose two hits apiece, and everybody except Moran and Deal took a successful crack at the stuff Mack's flingers handed out.

Ttae Braves outguessed the foxy redskin several times when at bat, and from the start to his own finish gave every Indication that they had Bender's number. Five double plays, three of them behind Bender, helped reduce the size of the score to a considerable degree.

Brnvc* Alwaya Confident. The Braves got the Jump on their foemen and kept it all the way. They •were on their toes, cheerful, chippar and confident, r.nd looked like the winning team even before they had established a cinch. The Athletics played their familiar unaggessive, almost stoic game, and at no time gave any indication of knowing the meaning of pepper.

Only in the greater steadiness of their fielding did the Mackmen have anything on their opponents. The Braves wabbled in spots and made one error that was costly and another that ought to have bc-en. Not until the game was practically over did any weak spot appear in the support of the home team. Then a high throw to the pan by Collins let in a superfious tallv.

The Boston victory was so brilliant and overwhelming as to leave no alibi for the vanquished. Stalllngs' men pressed every advantage to the utmost and reaped a reward from every opening they had except One. The Mackmen attacked in a sem-hearted fashion and three times fell down on chances to turn the tide of battle.

Once in the seventh Inning* when it looked as If the Braves were In danger of cracking, the Mackmen proved the easiest kinds of victims to Rudolph hypnotic dope. In that session a boot by Evers apparently put Rudolph up in the air, for he lost control and walked the next man helplessly. That put two on and nobody out, and a vigorous concentrated assault right there would have caused trouble In all probability. But three illustrious world's champions In succession fell down in the pinch and the rest, was easy.

Deal, who replaced the Injured Smith at third, left no visible hole on the infield. He performed well what little work fell to his lot, but as was expected, he proved the weak sister of the team with the stick. Three different times Deal hit into double plays of one kind or another.

Yank Rally Puts Giants Down and Out

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Jeff Tesreau and Jack Warnop engaged in a stirring pitchers' duel here Friday in the second game of the series for the Manhattan championship. The Nationals' big moist ball twirler became erratic In the ninth, while the diminutive little American leaguer, with the underhanded delivery, emerged a 2 to 1 victor. The game evened the series between the Giants and Highlanders.

The National leaguers scored In the second, when Snodgrass was hit with a pitched ball, stole second and cfossed the plate on Grant's single. Tesreau blanked the Americans up to the ninth Inning, when a pass to Peckinpaugh, Sweeney's single and a low throw by Fletcher let in the tying run.

FEDS LOSE BIG MONEY

ST. LOUIS, Oct 10.—"The Federal league baseball clubs of Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and St. Louis lost money in the season now ending." This is the statement attributed to James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, by newspaper men here last night. Gilmore came here Friday to attend a meeting of the stockholders of the local club. He is further quoted: "The St. Louis club lost $45,000, exclusive of its holdings this was the biggest loss sustained in the league. Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore and Indianapolis will show a balance on the right side of the ledger."

Gilmore denied rumors that the chief stockholders of the local club contemplated selling their stock or that the franchise of the St. Louis club would be transferred to another city. "As to organized baseball," Gilmore said, "we are not begging its recognition. We will force that.'

Officer, He's Out Again!

The following outburst was directed at "Doc" Waters, Tribune megaphone artist, who is supporting the Athletics. Rather tough on the "Doctor," buc he really ought to know better.

Hats off to the Braves, They made the Athletics behave. Boston had tco much "pep"

And Home Run Baker lost his "rep." It surely caused you some pain To see Mr. Bender lose his game.

Don't you think Rudolph is come pitcher? And Gowdy likewise some hitter. Didn't they play dings around the "Phillies." And caused a lot of sick looking "Willies?"

Oh. I wish it well understood The whole team is mighty good. MILLIGAN.

Jones, Keefe and Bachman, will be out of the game today. Bergman, varsity halfback last year, who has this fall been shifted to quarterback, probably will start the game at that position today. "Dutch" has been going like a streak of lightning this fall and Is expected to play an article of football that will make the spectators think they have discovered a second Dorias. Duggan, Finnegan, Berger and Pliska will play the back field.

STALLINGS RAPS ICEMAN.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa,, Oct. 10.—Manager Stalllngs got Into an altercation with an iceman, who wanted to place a bet on the Athletics, in the lobby of a .hotel shortly before the game and the Iceman was handed a stinging blow cn the Jaw.

CRACK TEAMS SWING INTO ACTION TODAY

Two Western Conference Clashes and Michigan vs. Vanderbilt Tilt Feature Card.

THREE GAMES ON STATE GRIDS

Wabash Battles Earlham, While Purdue Faces Western Reserve— Poly in for Walloping by Catholics.

Two clashes In the western conference and the annual battle between Michigan and Vanderbilt will provide the chief features In today's football card In this part of the country. Minnesota will take on a worthy opponent in Ames and Ohio will meet an improved squad In Case.

Chicago's fast squad, with veterans in the main positions and the prestige of an easy win over Indiana, should have no serious trouble with Northwestern.

Since numbers of football followers believe that Illinois will be Chicago's chief rival for the conference championship this year, the Illinois score against Indiana today will be watched with interest as furnishing a basis for comparison.

The Vanderbilt-Michigan contest has assumced historic interest, it being a .battle between teacher and pupil in Yost and McGuigin, the rival coaches. Vanderbilt's big score against the Hen-derson-Brown team indicates a counting ability which should worry the Wolverines, since Mt. Union's successful use of the forward pass last Wednesday showed the latter are vulnerable.

In this state Earlham meets Wabash at Crawfordsville, a game which ought to eliminate one or the other from the state secondary championship race. At Lafayette Purdue plays Western Reserve. The Boilermakers are not expecting much trouble. Rose Poly stacks up against Notre Dame In what should be an easy win for the Irish.

PURDUE NOT WORRIED.

Expects to Dispose of Strange Foe Today. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 10.—Only a light workout took place Friday afternoon in the Purdue football camp in preparation fcr the Western Reserve game today. Coach Smith evidently not caring to increase his already large hospital list, this being the first appearance of the Ohio team on Stuart field, Purdue eupparters are slow to make any suggestions as to the outcome, remarking only that Coach Smith is well capable of diagnosing any strange situations which may arise. Purdue Is not playing a large number of green men on the varsity this year, there being seven veterans on the tarn.

Capt. O'Brien, Routh, Vanaiken and Abreil, all of whom have been on the hospital list, probably will be in the game today, their injuries being only minor ones. East of last year's varsity, however, has been confined to his bed with fever for the past few days and will be unable to appear in uniform. The team went through a snappy signal practice yesterday afternoon and later practiced receiving kickoffs and forming interference for the runner. This work was kepj up until the steadv downpour of rain made it impossible to hold the ball.

Purdue's lineup will be about as follows: Left end, Stenchfield left tackle, Blocker left guard, Cecil center, Bishop right guard, Routh right tackle, Borum rir.ht end, Turner auirter back, Pultz: left half back, VanAlken right half back, O'Brien full back, Oxer.

EAST LOOKS FOR UPSETS.

Schedule Carries Possibilities for Several Pigskin Surprises. NKW. YORK. Oct. 10.—The eastern football schedule for today carries possibilities for several upsets which, should they eventuate, would make the day on the gridiron even more notable than last Saturday, when Carlisle, T'enna, and Cornell all were defeated by the powerful elevens of so-called minor colleges.

Harvard, the intercollegiate championship holder, faces the Washington and Jefferson team and the invaders are believed to be cherishing the idea that the overthrow of ihe Crimson eleven is not beyond their strength. Cornell, with two defeats already marked up againct it, faces the Carlisle Indians. Last season the Red Men won from the Ithaca eleven, 7 to 0, but the aborigines have not yet thov form equal to that of 1913. Another concjuerer of Cornell, the University of Pittsburgh, will play against the Navy and the result will be awaited with more than the usual Interest which attaches to early season games. The Yale-Lehigh game at New Haven is expected to develop Into a close contest.

INDIANA FACES TASK.

Opposes Illinois Eleven Which Appears to be Powerful. URBANA, 111., Oct. 10.—With Indiana as its opponent, the University of Illinois football eleven was scheduled to open the conference season here today. Coach Zuppke planned to start the same players used against Christian Brothers' college a week ago. Pogue and Wagner, however, were to alternate at left half. Lineup:

ILLINOIS. POSITION. INDINA. Squire L. E Krause Madson L. I Winters Chapman L. Redman Wasron W eiland Stewart R. Bonsib Nelson R. Worsey Armstrong R. E Glackman Clark Q. Whittaker Pogue L. A. Erehart Macromber R. M. Erehart Schoblnger F. Williams

QUAKERS AWAIT CALL.

Earlham Team Ready for Hard Contest With Wabash. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 10.—Everything is in readiness at Earlham for the trip to Crawfordsville today for the annual gridiron contest with Wabash. A special car has been chartered by rooters who will a^.ompany the team. '$ l'ractlcaly all the m..f of the squad are in excellent condition for the game, with the exception of a few slight bruises. Probably twenty men will be taken for the game, so there will be no excuse for lack of numbers.

LITTLE GIANTS FIT.

Scarlet Warriors Ready for Today's Mixup With Earlham. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 10.— Practice Friday afternoon was light, consisting of signal work, running back punts and dummy scrimmage. The field was heavy from the rain and the going was slow. Al] of the men are in the best of shape for the game with Earlham today. Indications are that the gridiron will be muddy.

There are so many promising fresh-

men that many substitutions are looked Tor. Thurber has practically two elevens,' between which, as shown In practice, there is only a degree of difference. The prediction is that the "little giants" will be forced to the limit. Wabash is handicapped by the number of freshmen who will today play their first college game. However, the weight of the scarlet eleven should tell in the final score In the favor of Wabash.

TEACHER V8. PUPIL.

Such is Battle Between Michigan and Vanderbilt. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 10.—With practically the same lineup that per formed in the mid-week game, the Univarsity of Michigan football team met the eleve.n from Vanderbilt university on Ferry field this afternoon in the first intersectional clash of the season. It was another battle between teacher and pupil, McGiugan, the southearner's coach, having been a Wolverine player under the tutelage of Coach Yost.

McGuigan would not make any predictions as to the size of the score, but said he was confident his team would make a better showing then it did last year when Michigan beat It at Nashville tiy the score of 33 to 2.

Biff frames In South.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 10.—With ircst southern football teams in good shape as a result of recent minor struggles several exciting battles are expected between the more important universities and colleges today.

Probably the most Important game in the south will be the one between the University of Georgia and the University of the South at Sewanee. Both teams have been strong contenders for the southern championship in years paet.

Cubs Annex Third Game

.CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—The Chicago Nationals went into the lead for the Citjr championship Friday, when they defeated their American league' opponents, 2 to 1. The gamte was a grand pitchers' duel, between Humphries and )3enz, with the latter having a shade the better of the argument, even though his side was defeated. He held his opponents to two scattered hits during his reign on the mound, "when he retired to make way for a pdn_h hitter.

The game was won by the Nationals in the fourth inning. Good drew a base on balls and went to second on an out. He scored on Zimmerman's single, who, turn, scored on Schulte's sacrifice fly. Collins had no chancc catch Good at the plate, but he threw home ar.d the ball bounded over Schrilk's head. This enabled Zimmerman to reach third.

Zimmerman's error of Collin's grounder followed by singles by Fournler and Roth gave the Americans their only run.

The Americans lost the g'ame In the second inning, when their captain was put out of the game. The bases were filled, with two out, and Weaver hit a sharp grounder to Derrick. Roth scored on the play, but Umpire Eason ruled Weaver was out. He protested, with the majority of the crowd on his side, and was ordered out of the game.

The series now stands two to one in favor of the Nationals. Total attendance, 1.377. Gross receipts, $11,304. Commission's share, $1,130.40. Players' share, $6,104.16.
