Dick Ru0Olpn, tQo young CWlTleT VI
the Braves, pitched a beautiful game
He had the star batters
of the Athletics at his mercy all the
way. Barry and Oldring struck out
twice and he also struck out Murphy,
Home Run" Baker, McIinnis and
Schang.
Bender made a magnificent effort to
stave off defeat, but apparently it was
an occasion of youth will be served"
Bender was kept in the box for five
and a third innings. In the sixth he
was replaced by Wyckoff.
Off Bender and Wyckoff the Braves
made total of twelve hits. while the
Athletics were able to garner only five
from Rudolph's curves and speedy
ball. Bender was able to strike out
only three men. During the nine in
nings Rudolph gave three bases on
balls and whitfield eight. Bender gave
two bases on balls and Wyckoff ore.
Sun Shone Brightly.
While the sun shone brightly on
high, the Braves and Athletics battled
here this afternoon in the first game
of the Worlds Series before a crowd
numbering $4,000 that filled every
inch of seating space in the enclosure.
With Bender and Rudolph on the fir
ing-line for the rival teams, the fans
sat back confident of seeing one of the
greatest pitching duels that ever char
acterized a worlds series game.
Both teams went through a snappy
practice and every man seemed on
edge for this crucial game. A band
and a quartette of youths armed with
megaphones kept the crowd enter
tanned during the batting session:
o'clock there were only few vacant
seats In the stand.
Cheers Boston Rooters.
The crowd was in good voice. re-
leasing yells of applause after every
good play in practice.
About three hundred Bostonians.

whooping things up for the dear old
made a hit when they arrived at the
grounds headed by Honey Boy" Fitz-
gerald, former mayor of Boston.
AS soon as they had taken their
places on the seats allotted for them,
they made gallant efforts to drown out
the noise made by the Athletic rooters.
The Philadelphia rooters were i'm
partial in their applause, however, and
Maranville, the Boston shortstop, was
given an ovation by them as we'll as by
the Boston fans when he pulled off
some hair-raising stops and catches
during practice.
Deal, who played third for Boston
in the place Of Red Smith, whose leg
was broken recently, showed poorly in
practice. He made a pair of foosles
and two wild heaves.
Just before the game started, Eddie
Collins was presented with an automo-
mile for proving himself the most
to athletic reckoning.
