PHILADELPHIA, September 2S.-
Batteries for the opening game of the
worlds series: Athletics, Chief Bender
and Wally Schang; Boston Braves, Bill
James and Hank Gowdy. Play ball!
This announcement, which will most
likely be bawled to a surging mass of
base ball fans the afternoon of October
3 by the chief umpire. will be the first
thrill of the 1914 classic But the
Braves have not qualified as yet? True
enough. they have yet to clinch the
National League pennant mathematic-
ally. but they are so sure Of 1t theoret-
ically now that only base balls worst
tragedy could prevent them from con-
Ing with Connie Mack's cohorts.
The Athletics made sure they will he

Derby yesterday, when they nailed their
sixth pennant to the fagpole. Connie
Mack has often repeated that If there
was ball game to win he would pick
Charles Albert Bender as the exponent
Of the art Of pitching to go in quest of
this victory. This responsibility has
been placed on the broad shoulders of
he has made good Therefore the con-
clusion Is will be Bender to start the
series next month II the big chief is
normal physically; Schang is his bat
tery mate and will surely be on the re-
ceiving end with Bender foilinE oppos-
ing batsmen as he has in former Years.
James Is Strong.
Bill James is George stallings' likely
selection for the Braves Why? The
answer is simple. James is glutton
for work. During the present cam
paign it was not unusual for him to
work three games a week. In fact. he
has appeared in four contests in seven
days on several occasions. BY work
ing him the first game of the series he
will be eligible to come back after one
days rest, If necessary. OF course,
Dick Rudolph and George Tyler will
be held in reserve to work for Stall
ings. but Connie Mack will have Eddie
Plank, the grand old southpaw; Rube
Bressler. Piank's understudy: Joe Bush
and Bob Shawkey to send back at the
Braves. Each Of the latter four should
give a good account Of himself. At
any rate, Mack will be as well equipped
with pitchers for this series as on any
Of the four previous battles for the
worlds title.
Announcement Of the batteries may
be bit early at this time, but 1t would
be a huge surprise to critic and fan
alike II Bender and James were not
