Review of the First.
(By Frank G.. Menke)

Philadelphia, Oct 1O.-The Braves
met the Athletics here yesterday be-
fore 20,962 fans in the first battle
for the baseball championship of the
world and beat them to a pulp. They
cutclassed the American League
champions in practically every depart
ment of the game and the result was
rever in doubt after the second inn
ing.
The Braves, playing the kind of
baseball that lifted them from the
bottom to the top of the National
League, swept the Athletics off their
feet with their whirlwind attack and
their wonderful defense in critical mo-
ments. The Athletics seemed dead by
the onslaught and there was some
thing almost pathetic in the way they
took their beating.
The Braves looked like one of the
greatest ball teams ever welded to-
gether The Athletics, wonderful as
they may be, seemed like bush league

baseball miracle happens, or the
Braves show great reversal from
the form they displayed, they will
be the next champions of the baseball
world
The Athletics tonight seem stunned
by their defeat. The worst blow of
Of all was that Bender, their pitch
ing star, and the man who is regard
ed as the greatest money" pitcher
N the world, was knocked out of the
box. 1t was the first time that BenI-
er ever has been removed from

The defeat of the Athletics has

Odds. The Braves, who were on the
short end of the five to four odds
before the battle, are now five to four
favorites for the series. And there
is mighty little Athletics money in
sight. The odds prevailing tonight
are five to four that the Braves will
win the game today, with Athletics
supporters, so confident before, ask
ing for better odds.
The "weak-hitting" Braves drove
Bender from the mound in the fifth
inning with fusillade of blows. They
slammed his fast ball and his curves
with equal ease almost from the start
Of the game and not one of the hits
made off the great Indian pitcher was
of fluky nature. Every one was
whistling drive, two of them being
for doubles and two others for triples.
In all the Braves got eight hits and
six runs off the Indians delivery dur
ing the five and one-third innings that
he worked.
Rudolph, the midget Boston pitcher,
twiriec one Of, the greatest games cf
lis career. He never was in danger
throughout the battle and he kept his
bits scattered.
The five hits that the Athletic slug
gers made were scattered over as many
innings. Rudolph had the heavy-hit-
ting Athletics breaking their backs
on his slow ball, tanning eight, in
Guiding Collins and Baker.
The Athletics showed the poorest
hitting Judgment ever exhibited in a
world series battle. Rudolph seemed
to have them hypnotized. Early in
the game he noticed that they were
swinging at-and missing-low balls
and high ones. They didn't wait for
them to come over the plate. From
that time on Rudolph did not aim to
get them over the plate. What was
the use of growing them when a
groove ball wasn't necessary to get
the Athletics to swing? Rudolph dis
covered that the Athletics would of
fer at any kind of ball that came
within three feet of the plate, and
that's the kind he fed them. Result
eight strikeouts.
Those batters who didn't strike out,
but went out via some other route,
usually had two strikes on them be-
fore they connected with the ball.
When the second inning ended the
game was practically over so far as
the Athletics were concerned. The
Braves had "found" Bender-and Ru-
dolph was a mystery to the demon
sluoters of the American league out
