 SWITCH AFTER
 BRAVE VICTORY

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-Wfth one vic- tory safely tucked away, the Boston Braves met the Philadelphda Athletics
 in the second game of the worlds se4
 ries today with added confidence and
 determination to make it two
 straight The Athletics, although de-
 feated in the initial struggle, were
 equally determined to even the series
 There will be a different tale after
 today's ganaes' was the common ex-
 pressfon of the Mackmen and this
 seemed to be the feeling generally
 amongst the supporters of the present
 worlds champions. Many Of the fans backed their expressions of confidence with moderate sized wagers at odds of
 10 to that the Athletics would take
 the series. Before yesterdays game
 the prev aning odds were much higher,
 many bets being placed at to 5 and 2 to 1. Boston supporters were in 8 happy
 mood last night. While they were
 greatly in the minority around the ho-
 te1s and cafes, their enthusiasm made
 up for what they lacked in numbers. 1 -Four straight was their slogan, but
 they found little difficulty in placing all wagers that the Braves would be
 the ultimate victors "Tessie,'' the Ia
 nous song of the Royal Rooters,
 echoed through the downtown section of the city until well into the night while groups Of the rooters were gath cred in many hotels discussing the in -dividuaI work of each member of their
 favorite team, that of Rudolph and
 Gowdy coming in for .particular praise. ~4&
 Philadelphians took the chafng
 flung at them by the Boston contin-
 gent good-naturedly and pointed to ! the fact that two years ago the Ath- Ietics lost the first game to the New York Giants and afterward won the championship easily. Bender's defeat
 was especially disappointing to local fans. as they had counted on him as 1 a sure winner It was generally ad- | rnitted. however, that even if the In dian had been at his best it would have been difficult to beat the Braves with Rudolph working as he did and | the other. members of the team back ing him up at every stage of the game. | Expressions Of satisfaction in the | showing made by Wyckoff, a mere | youth. during the three and a third | innings he pitched for the Mackmen yesterday, were heard on every, side. l BressIer, another yOungster, who has l beenz coached by Plank and has shown
 great effectiveness during the regular | American league season with the
 crossfre- delivery similar to that of his 1 tI1tor. was considered likely pitch l ing selection for one of the contests. 1 Shawkey. a third member of Mack 6

1 lLEvINSkY
 BEATS SMITH
 IN SLOW BOUT

Before a crowd that made the bis ball room of the Manhattan Casino in New York creak and groan, Battling Levinsky, boxing superbIy, outpointed Gunboat Smith last night The fight fans either expected Jim Buckley s heavy hitter to take the tight by a knockout or else Dan Morgan's clever boxer to win handi1y on points, so the result was no Surprise.
 The majority of the crowd, how ever, not realizing the truly wonder fu1 defensive skill of Ievinslzy looked fer Smith to batter the Ghetto cham pion to the boards and hence, as round after round went by without the Gunner landing a broadside or tNoipg any great damage, the fans for action. f
 Most of the tiradesH1argeIy be- cause 1t was a Levtnsky house. were directed against Smith, who, however, was doing his best against man who had little difficulty in slipping or. side-stepping his rushes, getting inside of his leads with pret- ty counters, blocking or ducking blows which the ordinary heavy weight would have had trouble to evade.
 Ievinsky, master of every trick and strategy of the ring, with every hit and stop of the manly art at his com u1and, at times had Smith founderine around the ring like fiddler crab wondering where he was at. Levinsky either tucked or blocked, slid inside or writhed around Smiths leads at long range, or else took the punches going away.

If John McGraw reads the papers he must have felt sore enough to tackle the German army today after he read what the New. York critics said about him. The writers took great delight in calling the fans att tention to MoGraw's mistakes in let ting Rudolph and Gowdy get away from the Giants, Rudolph was taken south with the Giants several years ago but was turned back to Toronto because McGraw didn't think he was big enough McGraw always had a fancy for big hur4ers but his prejudice in this case was costly Ru- do1ph was so downcast over his fat1- ure to stay in the big show that in the following season he threatened to quit the game unless he was given a chance in the majors. StaI1ings took him to- Boston and every fan knows the rest.
 Gowdy was secured by the Giants from the Texas league He was sup posed to be a~f1rst baseman but Me Graw thought him too slow and sent him to Boston in 8 trade. He was developed into a catcher and yester- day his great c1outing beat the Mack men. It only goes to show that Mo Graw's' snap judgment is not always correct

will the success of the Braves in the first game prove a big factor in the final decision of the series?
 Winning the opening game of such pionship of the world is naturally an advantage. It counts for as much as getting the jump on an opponent in any other line of endeavor.
 There is another material benefit in landing the first game besides that of taking immediate possessi on of the lead. It is that of mental suggestion. The victory inspires the winning play CTS and 1essens the nervous tension somewhat, thus making their playing smoother and less conscious. A team that can forget to a reasonable degree that worlds championship is at stake will play nearer normal form than one that is obseSsed with with the fact that it is in arrears and that every play is alI-important A glance at the dope of the mod ern worlds series games attests the truth of the foregoing. In the ten series played since 1903, the winning team in the opening game has won the series eight times. Only twice did the winner in the opening game fail to finish ahead in the end. Pitts burg won the opening game in 1903, but lost the series to Boston, five games to three In 1911, the Giants won the first game from the Athletics but were beaten in the Sor1eS, 1Our 10 two. Detroit and the Cubs battled to a 12-inning, 3-3 tie in the first game in 1908, but the Cubs won the second and first decisive game and eventually the series
 Another glance at the dope reveals the fact that the battle ground of the first game is not such an important factor as one might be led to believe. Undoubtedly there is not a manager who would not prefer to play the opening game of the series at home and before favoring fans. However, ii the ten series. the visiting and home teams have split even in the matter l of winning the initial struggle strug- gle.
 The teams that have drawn the home grounds for the staging of the opening conflict have lost six of the
 series, to four series defeats for the teams forced to open in hostile terri ! tory. The only teams that have open | ed at home and won the series are Boston, 1903; Cubs, 1907; P1ttsburg, l 1909, and Athletics 1910.
