BILLY Martin Comments.
At the Majestic Hotel, headquarters
for the Braves, the utmost confidence
prevailed Billy Martin, the GEORGETOWN
boy who is one Of Stallings utility in
fielders, told the writer tonight that he
hoped to get into one Of the games. He
said:
"All of US fellows know that we are
up against a tough proposition In the
Athletics, but ] think we will surprise a
lot OF the wise ones"
The Athletics do not know our style
of play, they will not get our pitchers
signs and Mr.. Stallings is always trying
to pull a lot Of stun. The Braves viii
play different baseball than did the
Giants There will be a lot of chances
taken on the bases, batters waiting out
the pitcher, and other stun of which I
am not at liberty to state"
The best known baseball writer's in the
country who are here cannot see any
thing to the series but the Athletics. Joe
Villa, of the New York Evening Sun;
Hughey Fullerton, 'the noted Chicago ex-
pert; Joe S. jackson. OF the Detroit
Tribune, and others, all favor the Mack
men and do not believe that the series
will go more than FIVE games.
There is very little betting around the
hotels and cafes here. The writer saw
one wager Of 400 to $40 on the Athletics
There Is practically no Boston money in
sight.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. s-Philadelphia
Is baseball mad tonight over the open
ing game Of the worlds series between
the Athletics and Braves tomorrow.
Every, ticket has been sold and the few
pasteboards in the hands Of spectators
are offered for prices ranging from SO
to IS each.
Rain is predicted by the local forecaster
for tomorrow, but unless a steady down
pour sets in early with no signs Of q let
up, the National Commissiop Will not
can on hostilities.
Speculation is rife as to the probable
pitchers Mack and Stallings will use In
the opening game Indications point TO
Rudolph for the Braves and Bender for
the Mackmen.
staIInEE Threatens.
George staIlines, the peppery manager
Of the Braves, has threatened to punch
Connie Mack, the Athletics chieftain,
rieht in the nose the irst time he meets
him face to face
The story covered In the press dis
patches is virtually true and excitement
in the camp of the Braves tonight is
at fever heat.
The writer talked with staIlings about
the matter late tonight and the big chief
verified the newspaper reports, adding:
Mack is a cheap slcate-and his, un-
sportsmanshiplike conduct In refusing US
the use Of Shibe Park for practice this
afternoon has but added fuel to the
flames. Ny players are all the more
determined to win the series and We are
Just as confident as ever that We viii turn
the trick"
MaeIIs Offer.
Connie Mack's version Of the affair Is
vastly different. He declared that when
he first offered the use Of Shibe Park to
the Boston Braves for practice between
the hours of 10 and Z in the morning
StaIlings was perfectly agreeable, and
that he was surprised and stunned when
the Boston leader threatened him over
the telephone.
The writer Is Of the opinion that the
whole affair was a put up job. concocted
by StaIlings himself to get Macks goat
and more in giving out the story to the
newspapers, as was done, the unwarrant-
ed attack on their manager that they
would not be in a 1T mental condition

Several propositions were given serious
consideration and in spite Of certain
notifications. none contained features
that would bring the two athletic COM
m1ttees to mutual agreement. A few
days ago the matter was left entirely
IN their hands by Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and Secretary Of War Garrison,
who in the role OF arbiters attempted
to settle the differences with a ten year
proposition of playing the games alter
nately at New York and Washington.
This failing, the secretaries wiped their
