SERIOUS DAYS AHEAD
FOR BOSTON BRAVES
Stallings to Renew Whiplash Meth
DDS in Remaining Games With
the Dodgers.

NEW YORK, October 5.-charles H.
Ebbets will entertain the champion
Braves today and tomorrow. In that
time four games will be played. Boston
has a postponement hanging over from
an earlier visit which will be doubled
this afternoon. Wednesdays scheduled
game has been moved up a day to form
the second bargain, the National League
club owners all having agreed to that
plan. Ebbets intends to make hay every
way at the expense of the titleholders.
The Dodgers are ensconced in fifth posi-
ton, which fact has renewed great en-
thusiasm across the Bridge. Robinson
will fight hard to retain this distinction
and trusts that the Giants will lend a
helping hand against the Phillies. the
only club that threatens his piece Of
mind.
Big Chief Stallings has passed the word
that he is quite serious about these four
games and intends to drive his men as
they had been driven two months before
they annexed a pennant. 1t is the last
chance to whip the champions into shape
for the Mackmen.
Have Let Down.
"I have not been quite satisfied with
my clubs play since We won the the
pennant.'' said Stailings. ''They have let
down in their work Relaxation after
such terrific fight as we had should
be expected. but l have warned every
one of the danger of relaxing too muclr
I'VE had long meeting this after
noon.'' continued Stall:ngs. land went
pretty thoroughly into every phase of
the situation. The boys will play at
worlds series, barring the taking of un-
necessary risks.
Johnny Evers, the peppery little cap
tain of the Braves, returned last night
from his home in Troy, where he spent
a couple of days Evers and Schmidt.
who also was allowed to indulge in
short vacation, will be at their posts
this afternoon at Brooklyn.
Il will pit my full strength against
the Dodgers" said Stallings. using all
the pitchers upon whom l count to win
the series from the Athletics. The fact
that we viii have two open days before
the first contest in Philadelphia will
enable me to pursue this plan. If moth
ing unexpected happens in the mean
time l think / shall face the worlds
champions with one of the very finest
lot of boxmen that ever participated in
the annual classic"
Two Days Rest.
Stallings will let his squad rest
Wednesday and Thursday The team
will go to Philadelphia Tuesday, inn
mediately after the farewell in Brook
Iyn, but the manager will not have his
men in uniform Wednesday or Thurs
day.
Il may ask permission of Connie Mack
to let US on Shibe Park Thursday after
noon in order to acQuaint my players
with the lights and shadows of the
field. But if so this will be only the
liehtest kind of exercise" he said.
Stallings will not drop the least hint
as to his possible pitching selection for
the opening game. One day he speaks
very highly of Rudolph and the next he
boosts Tyler to the skies. From what
he had to say yesterday George Tyler
seems to be as likely choice as DICK
Rudolph. The condition of these men
and the condition of the weather may
influence the selection at the last MIN
ute.
The Braves will end their final series
without their chief mascot. Jim Can

charm by his employees. CARNEY was
called to Boston to help out Herman
Nick erson, the club secretary, in the
