RESPECTIVE MERITS OF Braves
and ATHLETICS 0UTFIELD S

New York, Oct. I'm the Worlds
Series of 1914 the outer lines of de-
tense will figure prominently in the
struggle which will decide whether the
Boston Braves or the Philadelphia
Athletics wear the championship
crown for the coming IL months. Both
the National and American league
pennant winning clubs have outfield
combinations which class up in every
respect with the other departments Of
the teams. 1t is remarkable, how
ever. that when compared. player for
player, there appears to be little ad-
vantage one way or the other SO far
as can be judged from records and
averages available in matter of field
ing and batting.
Numerically the Braves are the
stronger, for Manager Stallings has
seven outfielders to Macks five. This
list includes all the players who have
played a game or Part Of a game dur
ing the last two months of the season
and from 1t will be chosen the trios
that will stand between the batters
and extra base hits. Some uncer-
tainty exists regarding the final line
up of the two outfields. This is es-
pecially true of the Boston club for
the Braves have repeatedly switched
the outfeld combination in the final
weeks of the pennant race.
Tho National League champions
have Moran, Mann, Gather, Connolly,
Gilbert and Devore available while
Whitfield. the general utility player,
has figured frequently in the outfield
combination. In the closing days of
the league season the lineup was:
Moran, right field; Whitfield, center
Held; Connolly, left field. When tho
Braves were struggling to gain the
top and the race was closest Stallings
played Gather or Connolly in left field;
Devore, Moran or Gilbert in right
field and Mann in center. 1t Is prob

able that Stallings' selection will be
governed from day to day by the field
and weather conditions. So far as
the batting and fielding averages are
concerned there is not any great diff
ference in the records of these players
for the past season.
Connie Mack with his veteran out
fielders is not in a position where he
need worry about his outer line of de-
Tense. In Murphy, Oldring, Strunk
and Walsh he has a quartet of play
ers who have worked together and
shifted in and out of the combinations
without the slightest slowing up of
the offensive or defensive work of the
team. Among the youngster players
are several who have been tried out
from time to time, including Davies,
but it is not at all likely that they
will find a place in the Worlds Series
box scores of 1914. 1t appears certain
that the veterans of past clashes with
the National League teams will have
the call and for that reason their rec
ords alone are considered in the fol-
lowing tabulations, which show the
fielding and batting averages of the
two outfield squads as compiled from
unofficial figures available just before
the end of the season.

WORKOUTS OF TWO CHAMPION
MINES BEFORE WORLDS SERIES
AT PHILADELPHIA ON FRIDAY

Philadelphia Oct. Things began
to move rapidly today In preparation
for the opening game of the series for
the baseball championship of the
world to be played at Shibe park on
Friday. The Boston Braves and the
Philadelphia Athletics pracuced in
ball parks that were only five city
blocks apart while thousands of per-
sons in, the downtown district pro-
vided excitement in their scrambling
and defiance Of the police while MAX
ing wild efforts to buy tickets for the
big sporting event. Tonight there is
not a reserved seat ticket to be had
for any of the games scheduled to be
played in American League grounds
here except through Spectators.
The so-called tuning-up process to-
day Of the present worlds champions
and the winners of the National
League pennant was of a mild charac-
ter. Neither Connie Mack nor George
Stallings permitted his men to do any
extended work The National Leaguers
passed more than two hours in the
forenoon in the grounds of the Phila-
delphia National League Club taking
an easy workout. The weather was
very damp, rain falling in light show
ers during part of the morning. Tyler
was the only member of the pitching
staff to warm up.
The team practiced behind closed
gates and the few supporters of the
club who saw the players go through
their practice bestowed their atten-
>tion upon Third Baseman Deal, who
will go into the series in place Of
Smith, now lying in Brooklyn hos
pital with a broken ankle. Deal was
given a good workout in fielding hard
hit grounders and also had to face
some stiff pitching.
Stallings, who was reported to have
been greatly depressed over Smiths
misfortune, began to cheer up today.
After the practice he said he felt con-
fident Deal would do his best to meas
ure up to Smiths ability at the bat.
His fielding is admittedly equal to
that of the crippled player.
A majority Of the Boston players took
in the final American League game at
Shibe park in the afternoon. when the
Athletics trounced New York 10 to 0. They

style of play. The New York pitching
was easy and the Philadelphia team laced
the ball to all parts OF the field. The
Athletics took no chances on the bases
and played straight baseball throughout
the game.
While at Shibe park Stallings met Con-
ME Mack. There were mutual congratu-

lations over the winning of their respec-
tive remnants and each expressed the
hope that the series would be good one.
While at the park Stallings arranged
with Mack for the Braves to practice at
shibe park tomorrow morning after the
Athletics have their usual workout. There
will be no secrecy in the Boston practice
The players will remain only long enough
to become familiar with the grounds and
the shadows cast by the high stands.
Some of the rooters of Lac world cham
pions are becoming anxious over McInnis,
the first baseman About 10 days ago
he was struck on his throwing hand by a
pitched ball In St. Louis and has not
played in game since, although he has
appeared in practice. The club manage
ment has not said much about his injury,
but there is no doubt he will get into the
first game on Friday. Outfelder Walsh,
who broke into baseball as a first base
man on the Niagara University team, has
been playing in MeInnis place in fine
style and hitting the ball hard.
Demand for tickets for the series was
never greater than it is this year. The
applications for reserved seats at Shibe
park was four times greater than the
capacity of the grandstand A certain
number of tickets were held for privileged
persons and the remainder were placed
on sale at the ticket office of a depart
ment store. The line of purchasers at
this office began to form early Monday
morning and il was more than six blocks
long when the sale began. The line broke
when the ticket office opened and the po-
lice had much difficulty in quoting the
disorder in the crowded shopping district.
scatter the crowd.
Hardly had the ticket Office opened than
spectators began to sell seats for the
games three and five dollars above the
regular prices. Five and three-dollar
tickets were quickly sold out and all the
two-dollar seats were disposed OF early
in the afternoon. When the ticket Office
windows were closed there was still a
long line on the street.
Enterprising householders whose homes
border two sides of Shibe park are erect
ing stands on the roofs of their houses.
These will seat about 1000 persons and
tickets are being sold at from so cents
to 81 each.
Ralph E. McMillin, who is in charge of
press accommodations at Fenway park,
announced tonight that local reservations
would be distributed from the press head

their tuning up exhibitions for the
Worlds Series and defeated New York
by a score of 10 to O..
Mack's players hammered Pieh's de-
livery hard. especially in the first two
innings, when they punched six hits
with three passes and three stolen
bases and scored seven times. Walsh
drove in four runs in the first two
sessions with a four Dagger and a
single. Oldring, Barry and strunk al
so hit the ball hard
Four pitchers were used by the
home team. Bressier was touched up
for three singles and gave a pass in

and a good distance outside them as
well. Nor could the bombs thrown
have had any effect upon the forts,
which are even stronger than those OF
Liege. There was no warning OF this
bombardment, a fact which constitutes
a violation OF Article &c of the Fourth
Convention of the Hague, and more

THE town of Louvain, with It's a. 900

has refused to purchase peace at the
price Of dishonor. That can be the only
crime accounted to them and it is for
that they have lost all their possessions
upon the earth.
From the declaration made by the
Imperial German Chancellor it may be
seen that the German Government is
conscious of its wrongdoing. As one
of the guarantors of Belgiums neu-
trality, it wanted to force Belgium to
relinquish it's neutrality for Germanys
benefit Because Belgium would not
consent to this perjury, and because
Germany could not reproach her with
anything else, Germany invaded and
covered with blood and ruin a small
peaceful country of hardworking and
honest people, a country which it had
promised to protect.
This attack upon her neutrality is
the first violation for which Belgium
asks Judgment from the universal con-
science.
THE entire Belgo- German question
today is dominated by the fact of this
violation of the neutrality of Belgium
Therefore, there is not single shot
fired by a German soldier in Belgium,
which is not manifestly and avowedly
belying most sacred things, the keep
ing of a solemn pledge. and the right
for an honest nation that never wanted
war, nor showed aggressive DISPOSE
tons, to be allowed to live it's peaceful
and neutral life.
Such is the Belgian case: Humani-
ty will judge It,"
