Braces Win First Game of
Series By Score of I to I

on the field for practice. The pre-
Hminary field play was snappy. The
work of the Boston player, Deal, who
substituted at third base for Smith,
who broke his leg this week was keen
" watched. He displayed no fielding
faults in warming up.
40 LACK OF CONFIDENCE.
There was no lack of confidence on
either SIDE as to the ultimate result.
We viii win sure" declared Manager
Stailings. My team is as good as the
Athletics any way you look al it and
we are going to hand a lot of people
a big surprise" All Mack would say
was 1--WE will be in there to win" The
Athletic players however confidently
predicted victory.
Baseball enthusiasts from many
stations in life are here anxious to
see the opening contest. Among the
visitors are men Of great wealth and
prominence and others beat their way
here on freight cars or tredged many
miles on foot. The wealthy lovers of
the sport arrived in automobiles or
parlor cars and were able to pay the
high premiums demanded by ticket
spectators for choice seats. The other
visitors joined the throng which stood
around the bleacher entrance all
night patiently awaiting an opportun-
ity to apass through the turnstiles
when the gates opened at 10 o'clock.
Many boys were among those who
stayed up all night. They counted OH
seeing the game and getting back
their admission fee by selling choice
seats in the bIeachers to late comers.-
Thousands, disappointed in not Sc
curing the coveted tickets of admission
Joined the throng at the grounds hop
ing to buy tickets at the last moment
at reasonable prices. Some secured
standing room admissions in the grand
stand, some were in the bleachers,
some were on neighboring house tops
and many thousands contented them
selves with watching the play on cleo
trio score boards in other parts of the
city.
The, previous triunphs of the Ath-
Ietics in worlds series made the local
club a strong favorite among those
who based their choice on former per-
formanCes. Brave supporters, how
ever, pointed to the manner in which
the Bostonians had climbed from last
place to the championship of the ma
tional league and declared that the
confidence gained in that race would
enable them to defeat even the White
