The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-11

safe at third and but one out, the chances for scoring drive by the head of the batting list were excellent.
 Home Fans Enthusiastic
 Although the home fans were more en- thusiastic than on Friday. there was lit- tie effort to find fault with the umpire's decisions. They cheered Justify and en- deavored to rattle James and encourage the Mackmen in the closing innings, but frankly acknowledged after the game that the Braves pitcher deserved to win.
 The sun shone from cloudless sky with midSummer vigor and as a result the fans. especially those in the bleachers quickly discarded coats and vests. AL though there was no increase in the paid attendance, the surrounding houses ap- peared about to break under the weight of the hundreds that gathered on roofs porches and at the windows. Fully $500 must have followed the play from these points of vantage outside Shibe park, pay ing from 50 cents to s2 for the privilege.
 Bostons royal rooters were very much In evidence again. before, during and after the game. When the game was won they paraded around the field, headed by Capt Johnny Evers, former Mayor Fitz- gerald and other celebrities. Many still were celebrating in Philadelphia tonight According to the Royal Hooters the Braves will receive the greatest welcome ever given baseball team when they appear Monday on the field at Fenwav park.
 Big Crowd Expected
 Close to 40000 fans are expected to greet the players in the third game of the series.
 This will be almost twice the attendance at either of the two games in this city. The paid admissions on both days were the same, 20,562 This was due to the fact that every seat in stands and bieachers were sold by ticket and when all the coupons were honored the gates were closed. The receipts for the second game amounted to 9,639, of which the Ma tional commission receives $4,963.90: the players $26,S05 and the clubs $17S7O.10.
 There was no preliminary conferences and Umpire Hidebrand called Play Ball' a. precisely o'clock. The veteran, Eddie Plank. said to be the oldest man on either team, was given hearty encourage ment as he walked to the mound. Mann let the first ball go by. Plank then grooved one for a strike and then the alter shot a hot grounder to Collins, who had to make rifle shot throw to Mclnnis to get the runner. Evers laid down a single to the infield Plank get ting the ball too late to throw to first. Three straight strikes sent Gather to the bench, but whitted got q free trip. Schmidt spoiled Boston's vision of run by sending up fly to Strunk
 Murphy Passed
 Eddie Murphy, the first of the Athltics to face James, was rewarded with a pass. Murphy took a long lead to go down to second on a sacrifice James, in throw ing to first, hurled the ball too wide and 1t rolled toward the grandstand Murphy sprinted to second, but fine throw by Schmidt to Maranville finished the speecy runner at second.
 'Boston's getting the breaks" shouted an Athletic rooter. Oldring was an easy out, Deal to Schmidt, and Eddie Collins went out by the same route.
 Gowdy was given base on balls at the opening of the second inning and went down to second on Maranville's sacrifice. Deal hit a little bounder to Plank and Gowdy was trapped between second and third Plank threw to Baker and the Mackmen chased Gowdy back almost to second base before he tossed the ball to Collins, who got the runner. Deal sprinted. to second when Schang hurled the ball to McInnis to catch Linn and the Boston man reached the middle station safely Schang, who was throwing 10 bases with reckless confidence, also tried to catch Deal off second, but the throw was too high for Barry to get Deal as he slid back to the bag. James ended tho inning by striking out.
 The Second Inning
 The second inning of the White Ele- plants was quickly over. Baker gave Schmidt a high foul just as he did yes- terday on his first time up. McInnis and Strunk struck out. The big pitcher was given hand as he came off the field.
 The Braves in the third inning got raan on base. After Barry threw out Mann by fast throw of a slow bounder, i.v CTS smashed a single to center field. Schang made Evers hug the bag. Gather sent up a high fly to Baker. Then came battle of wits between the Athletic bat tcry and the clever Boston runner. Evers gave Plank the laugh when he pitched two wide ones to Whitted In the expecta- ton that the runner would attempt to steal. Evers evidently did not think Plank would waste another ball and started to steal. The pitch was a wide ore and Schang made a great throw to Collins who tapped Evers out three yards from the base.
 The bottom of the Philadelphia batting order came up in the third. It was a procession. Barry lifted fly to Gather and the same fielder sprinted to near the left field foul line to get Schang's long drive Plank closed the inning by strik- ing out on three pitches.
 Looks Good for Boston
