Instruct Umpires This Morning.
With the meeting Of the National
commission this morning when the
umpires will be instructed and the
last peace-time words spoken be-
tween the Athletic and Brave off,
cials, all will be in readiness for the
calling of the big scrap.
There are to be no chummy ex-
changes Of compliments between the
players before the game. Stallings
and his Braves are going out to fight.
Connie Mack. having failed to reply
to the ultimatum that he come to the
Majestic hotel and have his head
punched, there is nothing left for the
Braves to do but assert themselves
on the field.
Changes Braves Battling Order.
The injury of Red" Smith and the
consequent sending OF Charley Deal
to third base. has forced Stallings
to make change In his batting or
der. Catcher Hank Gowdy, who
heretofore has batted just ahead of
the pitcher, has been moved up into
Smiths place. with Maranville and
Deal following.
The Athletics arrived during the
day in their automobiles from their
various homes, primed for the fray,
poised and ready to meet the slashing
attack to be launched against them.
The hand Of Stuffy McInnis which
caused considerable worry, appeared
to be In fairly good shape today and
Mack did not expect 1t to cause any
trouble or weaken his crack first
baseman in throwing or batting.
Braves Confidence Complete.
In the Braves camp there was
nothing but complete confidence.

Most of these watchful walters had
held their positions throughout the
night. Many were sleeping at their
posts at 1880, propped against the
wall Of the park. The gates to the
bleachers were not opened until ten
o'clock this morning, but the line
which began forming Wednesday
morning, remained solid to the last
and new arrivals put in their appear
ance as the morning wore on. giving
the police plenty to do in an effort
to preserve order.
Motley Crowd at Gate.
It was a motley looking crowd that
was waiting for admission to the field
where Chief Bender and Dick Ru-
dolph, who will probably be Bos-
toms pitcher, will match their cum
ming this afternoon. The ground
was Uttered with dirty newspapers
and scraps of lunch carried to the
scene by many Of the watchers.
Around eight o'clock was the break.
fast hour. Vendors appeared and the
fayorite breakfast dishes were crull-
ers, oranges, bananas, pop corn.
chocolate and coffee.
There were no women In the all
night line, but by daylight several
had appeared and a score were how
ering on the outskirts Of the bleacher
line. The best places in the line
could be purchased for $3.50. with
L.
to the position occupied. Some OF
the boys in line were endeavoring to
sell out and announced upon dispos-
ing OF their places In ,today's game,
they intended Immediately to start a
second line for the tussle tomorrow.
RIeachers on Houses.
Sumner street, to the north Of the
park, and on Twentieth street, to the
east, carpenters were busy erecting
temporary bleachers on the roofs Of
apartment houses overlooking the
playing field. These stands are an
institution in Philadelphia, but an at
tempt was made this year to prevent
this scheme OF taking money from
the hands of the hard-pressed base
ball magnates. Being director of
public safety, Director Porter started
safetyifying, by stating that all
stands which were up yesterday,
must come down. The director Of
public safety held that the stands
were not safe, but those being erect
ed today were inspected by the build
ing department. Stands on roofs
will accommodate at least 1900 IL d.
rector Porter doesn't carry out his
threat to place a policeman at the
door of every house and prevent
fans from entering to take a place in
the outof-bounds seats.
Ticket ScaIpers Arrested.
Philadelphia was still worked up
today over the ticket situation. a
dozen spectators were lassoed by
the police last night, but several
times as many more were operating
on Broad street, making soft voiced
advances to any one they thought
might invest a few extra dollars tc
see the games. Three of those ar
rested were released, but the others
were held in $500 bail. Stories o
where and why tickets have gone
are flying thick.
One story is that the fuss between
Managers Gtallings and Mack reall,
had it's start when Stallings asket
the Athletic leader for a pair o
tickets for an uncle who was comm,
from the south. Mack said he didn-
have them. Loud walls continue t,

Have No Fear Of Bender.


The news that Bender was to start
was gladstone tidings to the Braves
who, for some reason known only to
themselves, believe they can beat Ben

ion to start Rudolph was not unani-
mously -cheered by the Braves. Some
Of them wanted James to start, sbeliev-
ing that IL he started and got away
with his first game they would win
the series. Stallings evidently was in
doubt when I talked with him. He did
not know whether to start James or
Rudolph, but inclined in favor Of Ru-
dolph. He also was hesitating about
third base, but finally admitted he in

Plan Attack Brusque."
The Braves are planning an attack
brusque'' and hope to sweep the Ath-.
letics on their feet, by their rushing

that the worlds champions can be
beaten by aggressive attacks and will
go at them from the start.

bal attack upon Mack.
Mack had refused to permit the
Braves to use the Athletics field for
practice and had lodged Stallings' re-
quest for permission to have his men
look over the battle ground. Stall
ings got Mack on the telephone and
proceeded to call him liar, Jesuit
cal crook and few other things, and
to dare him to say to his face what
he said over the telephone.

| Fullerton IN on Brave Session.
It was my pleasure to be in last
night at one of their meetings al
which they discussed plans. They
have a plan OF campaign that Is as
founodng and their signalling system
is absolutely new in baseball. Other
teams have charged again and again
that the Athletics stole signals. but
YOU may depend upon it, there will
not be any signals stolen or tipped on
thfs year. II Mack's men attempt Il

Braves and every man on the team
expects to win this series and Is fll-
ed with confidence. They will admit
that the Athletics are the better team
in every department. yet they believe
they will win and are willing to back
themselves to the limit.
The important problem OF the day
was the pitchers and it was evident
that Stallings had decided upon Ru-
dolph to inaugurate the series, and
Mack, as usual. had picked Bender as
the starter.

I'VE did assist and participate in the

that the negotiations were commenced in
