RUDOLPH WILL
pitch TODAY
Stallings Plans to Win Series
with Victorious Hurlers in
Four Straight Games.
By FRANK @. ,rENkE.

Boston, Oct u-Boston plans to win
the worlds series in four straight games
with the use Of only two pitchers-s
feat that has never been accomplished.
From out of the insane babbie in this
baseball-crazed town tonight comes the
tip from the Braves camp that Stallings
viii huri Dick Rudolph back at the
Athletics Monday and will work Bill
James, the two-hit hero OF Saturday e
battle, against the Athletics on Tues
day.
stallings is confident that his two star
twirlers will recuperate sufficiently from
their recent labors to work at top speed
In the next two battles.
VIII Work Tyler.
The ''wise-ones" have II figured out
that Stallings will work George Tyler,
his southpaw. against the Athletics to-
morrow. IL Connie Mack uses one OF
his youngsters. but the Braves tipster
says that Stallings present plan, which
IT is unlikely he will change, calls for an
exactly opposite plan.
Tyler is a mighty fine pitcher" said
the tipster, but he's not as reliable as
either Rudolph or James. II Tyler went
! In tomorrow and lost II would put us
In a hole. That would make the count
two to one In our favor. Then We would
have to work James and Rudolph in the
next two games and rely upon Tyler for
the last game. should We happen to lose
each Of the games that Rudolph or James
pitches.
But by using Rudolph tomorrow we
are reasonably sure Of winning. Dick is
in fine shape. He's been through one
world series game and came out a hero.
He has more confidence in himself than
he did for the first game. and. Of course.
more than Tyler would have.
Mack VIII Use YounEstcr.
Mack probably will work one Of his
edge ought to be in favor of Rudolph.
II Rudolph wins that will give US three
straight. Then James will work on Tues
day for the fourth straight game. Should
either James or Rudolph lose one Of these
games it would make the count three to
one in our favor. Then we could send in
Tyler. II George lost the count would
still be in ursfavor. three TO two, and
we'd have James and Rudolph in reserve
for the last two games.
$50, you see, Stallings' scheme Is a
mighty clever one, looking at II from any
angle that you wish. II Rudolph works
tomorrow and James Tuesday II will
mean that they will have had only
two days rest. but they are used to
pitching every third day. II they worked
less they might get stale"
Connie Mack may pitch Chief Bender
again tomorrow, but the chances are that
he will use one of his youngsters. either
Shawkey or Bush. Shawkey has made a
better showing than Bush has this year,
but Bullet Joe" Is a world series vet
eran and Connie might count that in his
favor in choosing from among his young
sters.
Bender In shape.
Bender declared tonight that he was in
fine shape and ready to go back at the
Braves at any time. The beating that
the Indian got Friday hasn't disheart-
ened him. He feels that II was just
some sort of accident. And he hungers
for revenge.
Bender normally is a four-day pitcher.
According to the schedule by which he
was worked in the past few years he isn't
due to go back in the box until Teusday.
But Mack may use him tomorrow. Bender
worked little more than half a game Fri
day-not enough TO tire his arm to any
extent
The double victory OF the Braves. in
the home Of the enemy. has driven Bos-
ton into a frenzy Of baseball madness.
Everything else was forgotten here to-
night but baseball and the wonderful
work of the likely baseball champions OF
the world. The populace has come to
believe that the Braves are unbeatable. !
They are pulling for four straight. Moth !
ing else will satisfy them now.
Long before darkness came those who |
failed to get reserved seat tickets be- |
gan forming in line outside of Fenway |
Park, and before midnight 1t was esti- |
mated that there were 5000 fans in line ]
All of them carried big packages Of
food that must serve them not only for |
a midnight supper, but for breakfast and
lunch as we'll
confidence that it will win the series was |
shown today by the bett- offers Of the /
Bostonians. Offers OF 3%s we're made |
that the Braves will win tn IS, with
few takers. The PhiladelphfSs ltingent |
came here more to cheer than to bet.
