ADE EQUALLY CoCKY'

/ Boston, Oct. 11-The Philadelphia
Athletics and Boston Braves, contend
| ing teams in the worlds championship
| baseball series, rested here today and
tonight while the scene of the con-
tests was shifted. The champions of
| the American and National leagues,
| respectively. will meet tomorrow and
| Tuesday at Fenway park in the third
and fourth games, of the series which
began in Philadelphia last Friday.
| Braves Confident
| With two victories gained toward
| the four necessary to obtain the
worlds title, the Boston team faces
with confidence the two games to be
played here. They had gone to Phila-
| delphia with the odds against them in
| the appraisal of baseball followers
generally. They returned today to a
tremendous reception, favorites for the
world honors.
The Athletics, fighting with their
BACKS to the wall to defend the worlds
championship from continuation of
| a remarkable rush which brought the
Braves to victory in the National
| league, were outwardly still confident
All expressed hope that they would
yet win. I'VE are far from beaten
yet" said Stuffy McInnis. "All we
| need is a little hit once in while.
| And we will get those tomorrow"
Stallings Talks
Manager Stallings of tho Braves,
discussing his pitching staff for to-
| morrow, thought otherwise. 1T may
be Tyler or it may be Rudolph" he
said, "but whoever it is | am sure the
boys will outhit their opponents. And
| with the fielding we have shown the
result is certain"
The identity of Manager Mack s
choice for pitcher tomorrow was the
element of greatest uncertainty to-
| night. Would he send the Indian,
Bender. batted from the box in the
first game at Philadelphia, back to
retrieve his defeat, or choose q
youngster to bear the burden of di-
recting almost Il last stand These
were the questions among the crowds
gathered about hotel Hobbies.
In event of a cloudy day tomorrow
it was thought Manager Mack would
decide upon Bender. AS possibilities

Braves have shown that they can hit
the speedy delivery OF Bender and
Plank. They have yet to be tried on

Bressler, a lefthander, was thought te
be the favorite on account of his abil-
ity to use q portside delivery, which
reduces somewhat Boston's offensive
and his use of Il battling curve.

Martin, one of the Braves substitutes
interjected this statement:
