PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. IL
Again the Boston Braves won to-
day, taking the game from Phila-
delphia by a score of 6 to 5, in
as interesting a contest as has ever
been witnessed in this city. Until
the last ball was pitched, the game
was not won, and the large crowd
which turned out to see the top
notchers was we'll pleased with the
showing made. Local sporting writ
ers are picking the Braves to win
the pennant, but think that they will
have no chance in the worlds SER
les against the Athletics.
While Boston was winning in
Philadelphia, the Giants took a
game from the Brooklyn aggrega-
ton by a score Of to 0.
The opening game of the worlds
championship series will take place
on Saturday. October 10, probably
at Philadelphia. The second game
will be played on Monday, October

will not be determined until the
race for the pennant has been set

only fears that the Braves would
lose out in the East are put at

Giants, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
without difficulty.
The climb of the Braves is consid-

July 6 they were in the cellar, with
26 wins and 40 losses, while on the
same day the Giants were in the
lead with 40 wins and "a losses.
Since that time, Boston has played
