DAVIES, CRACK PINCH HITTER,
Isl LOST TO THE ATHLETICS

planned for the Athletics to appear at
! that hour.
! The Boston management was also
said to be dissatisfied with the allot-
ment of worlds series tickets for
Boston delegations. Two hundred
| tickets were turned over to the Royal
Rooters of the Hub.
Although the first game of the
series was still more than thirty six
hours off, the line Of prospective pur-
+, chasers of bleacher seats started to
form at Shibe Park late last night.
! On the eve of departure of the Bos-
| ton Royal Rooters, a band of baseball
enthusiasts, for Philadelphia, a hitch
arose over the allotment of seats for
the party at Shibe Park. Word
came from Philadelphia that reserva-
tons had been made for only 200 I'm
stead of 300 RIOTERS.
President Gaffney. of the Boston
Nationals, and President Lannin, of
the Boston Americans, who will be in
Philadelphia tomorrow, have been
asked to arrange to have 300 accom-
iilpodltu. ouppOTltIS Oh the Braves
from Springfield and other parts Of
New England were in Boston ready
to start for Philadelphia tomorrow,
and the uncertainty as to the 100 seats
affected most of them.
The Athletics have played In four
worlds series, and with the excep-
ton of Mathewson and McGinnity,
no pitcher who has ever faced them
lasted the entire game. All have
been taken out; Mathewson also had
been knocked out. In 1906 McGin-
nifty pitched in two games. He was
taken out of one and won the
other. On the other hand no Ath-
letic pitcher has ever been knocked
off the rubber. The single exception,
where a Philadelphia hurler was
taken out, was In 1911, when
Coombs, the iron man." suffered
rupture in the middle of the game
and left the box several innings later
because of his injury.
Fred Mitchell, the Boston coach,
was at Philadelphia yesterday, watch
ing the Athletics get beat. Mitchell
is peculiarly fitted for the job OF
coaching which he has held down so
ably. He pitched for Toronto sew
era1 Seasons ana tnen ueVelOpeu lHlO
catcher for Rochester. He knows
how both ends of the battery work.
Deal, who will probably sit in at
the berth made vacant by Red
Smiths injury, was benched by Stall
ings to make way for the sorrel-
topped boy obtained from Brooklyn.
Smith has been batting .265 against
Deals PIT. He has stolen fourteen
bases, while Deal can account for
but four. Smith has driven out
twenty-six two-baggers, nine triples
and seven home runs, and against
this record Deal has twelve doubles,
two triples and no circuit drives.
Stallings has every confidence in
Deal. He declares he has developed
fast and is one of the most promis-
ing inielders in the league, but the
shadow of Red on his cot in tho
Brooklyn hospital will be with the
Braves when they take the field, and
the Braves must hit the dirt with
even greater determination than
Smith did yesterday to beat the Ath-
letics.

Leyinsky Reported in Fine shape.

The ten-round bout with Gunboat
Smith at the Manhattan Sporting
Club, New York, tomorrow night,
win be the most important event in
Battling Levinsky's career. The latter
has shown to advantage against
heavy opponents, and is confident OF
making it interesting for Smith lie
has trained for the event as il it were
a championship battle, and is reported
to be in good shape while Smith has
in no way underestimated his oppo-
nent. 1t will be the case of a clever
light heavyweight against big slug
ger, but the latter has always shown
a disposition to take all the punish
ment offered him without going under.
