Boston. Oct. 11.-Philadelphia Ath- letfcs and Boston Braves, contending teams in the world championship base night while the scenes of the contests were shifted. The champions of the American and National leagues respec- lively. will meet tomorrow and Tues day at Fenway park, in the third game of the series which was begun in Phil adelphia last Friday.
 With two victories gained toward the four necessary to obtain the world utle, the Boston nine faced with con- ndence the two games to be played here. They had gone to Philadelphia a short-end chance in the appraisal or baseball followers generally; they returned today to tremendous recep- tion, favorites for the world honors.
 The Athletics. lighting with their backs to the wall to defend the world championship from continuation of the remarkable rush which brought the Braves to victory in the National league, were outwardly still confident. All expressed hope that they would yet win. We are far from beaten yet" said Stuffy McInnis. 'All we need Is a little hit once a while. And we'll get those tomorrow"
 Manager Stallings of the Braves in discussing his pitching possibilities for tomorrow, thought otherwise. "It may be Tyler, or, 1t may be Rudolph" he said,s but whichever it is I am sure the boys will out-hit their opponents. And with the fielding we have shown the result is certain
 In answer to 8. question to an en- thnsiast as to whether the Braves were likely to take four straight, the Miracle Man. smiled and said: We've got good team"
 The identity of Manager Mack's choice for pitcher tomorrow was the element of greatest uncertainty to- night. Would he send the Indian, Ben der. batted from the box in the. first game at Philadelphia, back to retrieve his defeat, or choose a youngster to bear the burden of directing almost a last stand. < These were the questions among the crowds gathered about the hotel Iobbies tonight
 In the event of a cloudy day tomor- row. it was thought Manager Mack would decide upon Bender. As possi- bilities among the younger pitchers Bressler was considered most likely. The Braves have shown that they could hit the speedy delivery of Bender and Plank. They have yet to be tried on fast breaking curve in this series.
 Rressler, a left handler. was thought to be favorite on account of his ability to command a port side delivery which reduces somewhat Boston's offensive powers and his use of a baff1ing curve. Overheating a conversation among newspaper men on this subject, Billy Martin. one of the Braves substitutes, interjected the statement: If Joe Con- nolly ever gets hold of one of those curves he'll hammer 1t. They all look alike to him."
 Bush, hero pitcher of the world se- ries last year, and Wyckoff. who pitch ed with some success after Bender was retired Friday, were also mem toned as possibilities. The uncertain ty as to the pitchers influenced betting tonight. Two to one on the Braves to win the series was most quoted, but there were few takers.
 The biggest crowd that ever saw a worlds series game in this city is looked for tomorrow. The celebration of Columbus day as 8, holiday will re- and shops to attend the contest and it is expected that the limit of the seating accommodation at Fenway park, 37,000. will be reached.
 Sixteen thousand reserved seats in grandstand, boxes and the left field pavilion already have been disposed of. The spectators got a few of the ticekts, but it was estimated tonight that there were not more than 500 in their hands all told. It would be inn possible to reduce this number very much, according to Robert McRoy sof Chicago. representing the national commission. MT. McRoy said that he believed the experiences in Philadel- phia, where thousands of seats sold al public sale were obtained by specula-
