WORLD’S SERIES TODAY

BRAVES AND ATHLETICS CLASH AT PHILADELPHIA. Flag Winners of National and American Leagues to Begin Battle for Championship.

By FRANK G. MENKE.

International News Service CorrOgdondent. Philadelphia, Oct. 9. —All Is set for the firing of the opening gun in the ■world’s series today. Fandom is in a high state of excitement; the players on both teams are fit; the ticket sale is over. Both the Braves and the Athletics , are perfection personified. Despite , the raw and chilly weather the pla,y- i era were out early at Shibe park, lim- i bering up the kinks in their system and indulging in light batting and fielding practice Both Manager Mack and Manager Stallings are wishing they knew who the other woufd pitch in the opening game. Stallings lias his triple en- ( tente —Rudolph, James and Tyler—to choose from. But the leader of the Braves is not tipping his mit. He may use Rudolph, because the Bronx pitcher is believed t° be the headiest i of the trio. Mack and his dual alii- j ance—Bender and Plank —from which to make his selection. All indications point to the Big Chief as the logical ! candidate for boxman’s honors. It is a case of jockeying with both man- 1 agers. Each wants to get the jump on the other and win the opening game. All one hears is baseball talk. The main topic is who is going to win the first game. With the influx of visitors the betting became more brisk. The AthletieS still rule rhe! favorites, odds of five tp- four being offered on them to cop the world’s series. The Braves, 1 however, have many supporters Their fight from last to first place in the National league, and the speed with which they have been playing since July 1 has Avon them many admirers. '
