Shortly after Presidents B. B. Johnson
of the American League and John X. Te-
ner of the National League arrived from
New York late this afternoon, the posi-
tons of the umpires for the opening game
made that the infield fly rule of the two
leagues would be observed-under the
American League rule when the games
were at the Boston park. and under the
National League code at the Brooklyn
park. All the Boston players we're out
for practice during the afternoon at
Braves field, getting accustomed to the
lights and shadows and huge distances
of the park. Every player with the ex
ception of Capt. Jack Barry and George
Foster, who will not participate in the
series owing to injuries, reported In per-
feet condition.
The Brooklyn club players and Off
Gals arrived during the evening ac
companied by some members Of the
newly formed Brooklyn boosters club
which will endeavor to offset vocally
and otherwise the successful support
Of the Boston Royal Rooters. Manager
Robinson said that every member of
his team was in shape for the series
and that they expected to win. The in
vading club was met at the station by
a large crowd of local fans who cheer
ed the players as they hurried to their
hotel for a. good nights rest before be-
ginning the most important games Of
the year.
Some of the Brooklyn rooters were
willing to back their club with cur
rency and there was a few moments of
lively wagering. Boston supporters CIV
ing odds of about 10 to Z. Considered
as a whole, however. there has been
little Brooklyn money here to cover
wagers on the outcome of the series
and the betting has turned to game by
game specializing. Boston adherents
expect to see RUDE Marquard go on
the mound for the Superbas tomorrow
and in view Of the fine twirling shown
by Marquard in recent games, even
money is the best offer that local sup
porters will wager even though Leon
ard is expected to be Manager Carri-
CANS choice for the initial game.
League presidents and club owners
all expressed confidence in the ability
of their teams to win the series but
there was an evident undercurrent OF
opinion that the contest would be un-
usually close and hard fought this sea-
son.
