ing. An immense crowd is on hand,
probably larger than the one which saw
the opening game at Pittsburs last year.
The bleacher seats. which were to have
been erected in center field, are not up.
Circus seats were to have been used for
this purpose, but they did not arrive and
the crowd is lined around the field about
ten deep, a bare space being left in the
center SO as not to obscure the batter
vision. That King Cole is not to be used
in the series, was announced by Frank

Ovation for Home Team.
AS is usually the case, all the members
of the Athletics were given an ovation
when they came to bat. Eddie Collins is
the biggest favorite, and he responded
their first hit in the opening round. Tin

That bulldog tenacity of the Cubs is
always in evidence. They realized early
in the game that Bender would be trou-

SH1RE PARK, Philadelphia. Pa, DC
tober 17.-Not until the umpires requested
the respective batting orders of the two
teams did Connie Mack's pitchers know
which one of them had been selected to
pitch the opening game against the Cubs
All of them warmed up prior to the game
and Mack, sitting i'm his characteristic po-
Sition on the bench, with legs crossed
and hat we'll back off his forehead, watch
ed their every, movement. He seemed to
be trying to decide which one of his
twirlers he should select. There was a
conference between him and Capt Davis
and finally the latter walked over and
put his arm carressingly on Bender's
shoulder and smilngly whispered in his
ear that he had been chosen to lead the
Athletics to victory. His selection seem
ed to please Bender. His teammates
focked around and seemed TO he en-
couragina him for the struggle.
The players of both teams eyed each
other carefully during the preliminary
practice. Each team tried to impress the
other with its ability. and the practice
was fast and full of life. Some of Mack
youngsters seemed trif1e nervous at the
outset. but they warmed to their work as
time went on. There is a confident air
about the Cubs. 1t may be assumed for
effect. but If such is the case il is failing
to rattle Mack's men, who, cheered on
by thousands of their supporters, appar-
spirit than they did i'm the games against

the fact that Tinker covered the bag

was a handicap, for it prevented Tinker

no material difference in the result.
