Oct. 12.--Boston is welcoming her
champion Braves here today i'm royal
STYLE She is proud of them beyond
dispute and she is making the men
who brought fame to her city, by
winning the National League PEN
nant, feel that they have done some
thing big for them.
Then, too, she is delighted with the
showing the Braves have made
against the worlds champion Ath-
letics, and she is out to do her best
To cheer them and urge them to
completion of their task, as winners
over the Mackmen of the great
worlds title in baseball Boston is
more enthusiastic than Philadelphia,
and the crowd is about as large at
the ball park as early as II o'c,ock
as IL was at the quaker CITY Wheh
the game was on.
1t is a holiday, Columbus Day, ana
the city is "dolled up in all its
various colors, dotted here and there
by the pennants of the Braves with
the Indian insignia on them. Two
years ago Boston was out in force
celebrating the victory of the Amer
lean League champions, but today
she is stronger for the Braves than
ever she was for the Red Sox.
George Stallings naturally is the
lion of the hour, and, rightfully, he is
being given his full share of credit
for the success of the team. Boston
Just at this moment loves Stailings,
and the natives are not slow in tell
ins him so right to his face At the
Copley Plaza, where he is stopping,
and on the street the citizens swarm
around him and grab him by the
hand.
Stallings is a modest follow and he
doesn't like that kind of worship, put
he has to smile and bear it. Inc
.Royal Rooters," who went back on
the Red Sox two years ago, are WHO
over Stallings, and the big cfiet OF
the Braves is having his own
troubles to get moment to himself.

honors modestly, and all the Braves,

showing, are doing their best TO mae

over. Stallings, too. has warned has

the crowd. The fans oeean 10 as
semble at o'clock last night, ana
early this morning it was estimated
that 20. 600 persons were in line more
came as the day wore on, ana the
vast ball park is completely sur
rounded with surging humanity, rev
of whom have the remoteSt cnance
to get inside.
The vast bleachers in right heid,
which sold for 81 throw, were first
TO fiji. of course, and the boys were
certainly getting their moneys worth.
THE fans in their mad rush broke
down a fence, and the police had
quite a time getting them back. IL
is a wild. Joyous crowd, and the en-
thusiasm here beats Philadelphia all
over The fans have a grand rea-
son to feel happy. for they are out
tc see a great ball team even II the
Braves are finally defeated.
shortly before l O'Clock the grand
stand patrons began to file into their
seats and the scenes reminded one
of the Polo Grounds on world s
series day. The band is playing
popular airs and a quartet of cabaret
singers are shouting popular songs
through megaphones for the edifica-
tion of the fans. The bleachers cheer
at everything and anything. and
everybody seems to be having the
time of their lives.
AS game time draws near the
stands are filing rapidly. and it looks
as if every seat would be occupied
long before o'clock The bleacher-
lies are raising the mischief, bonn
harding one another with papers, and
the peanut and popcorn venders are
being roughly handled by "the dollar
loys:'' In the grand stand, too, the
spectators are cutting up capers, and
there is surely much to see and enjoy
here
Banners and flags and pen
nants are in profusion here
an the citizens are buying them
at from twenty-five cents to 81 a
throw. Banners bearing various mot
tos are displayed, and one young
man dressed up as Puritan walked
through. the grand Stanu WlLD a PA
card reading. Braves sausages made
from Comics goat" There were
other signs and other sayings, but
this was about the best of the lot.
Boston is scrazy about its ball team.
and it is little sore at Mack be-
cause of his pow-wow with Stallings
over the use of the Philadelphia
grounds. and the fans are going. to

Betting Not Brisk.
Betting on the outcome of the
series is not as brisk as one would
think 1t ought to be. The natives
here are not so sure that the Braves
will win They are willing to root
for them and shout for them, but
they are not keen to bet on them.
The Athletics hackers are willing
TO take TO ON their team, but
Boston doesn't want to bet more
than even money. The Braves back
ers are jubilant, but they won't give
the odds that the situation would
seem to demand. AS result, there
is not much betting, though some
! money is being put up by those who
