(By Morning Journal Special Lrased Wire.)
Philadelphia. Oct. 9. l'la iiifj with the same sensational speed
that marked their rush from la.-t place to the position f pennant
winners in the National league, the llostou P, raves crushed the
liiiladelph'.i Anvrieai.s here today in the first game of the world's
series by a score of 7 to 1. Although the newly constructed base
ball machine of ".Miracle Man" Stallings wahhled once or twice,
it never left the track and under the guiding hand of Pitcher Ru
dolph crashed through Connie Mack's champion Athletics, scatter
ing dismay and disappointment in it s trail.
The victory over the 2-to-l American league favorites was
well won. no lucky breaks or baseball flukes figuring in the defeat
of the famous Mackmen clan. P.y sharp, heavy and timely hitting,
the P.raves piled up an offensive lead, which, coupled with Ru
dolph's sterling box work and the general defense of his team
mates, left no opening through
tack could enetrate.

nlng. Whitted walked nnd scored on
Howdy'H double, wlio In turn came
home on Mnninville's drive to lift
center. The Athletics came back with
a run in their half of the same inning
v hen Mclnnis Wis passed and Retired
mi Sirtmk's single, which Moran let
Flip through his fingers for three
bases. In the filth Howdy tripled in
tenter and tame home on Mainn-
ville's short hit over Mcinnis'
head.
T:.lS((.n clinched the game in the next
inning, scoring three rniiH on Ever'
single, Connolly's pass, Whitted's
triple to right and Schmidt's single,
which was too hot for Hurry to hold.
Just to show that they could hi!
other pitchers beside (lender, the
Graves added another off Wyckoff in
the eighth when Schmidt singled, went
to third on dowdy's one-base, tdash
and stole home as Muiunville fanned.
Weather conditions were ideal for
the play, the diamond and outfield be
ins "try and fast while a warm sun
shone overhead from the fleecy sky.
Thu finishing touch of the assem
bling spectators was added to the
Picture when the Royal Hooters, Bos
ton's organized moling cot ps, marched
into the park headed by their own
hand and waving red and blue pen
nants with the word "Braves" and an
Indian head boldlv outlined on th
ha me. They even carried the Idea
further, for several of the leaders
wore full Indian regalia, including
feathered henddress and tomahawks,
llaltle Song "Trssli-" Suns.
The battle souk, "Tessie," was sung
repeatedly, and the three hundred
members of the corps cheered each
telllnir Boston hit or play and en
couraged the team in the crucial pe
riods during the second nnd seventh
innings, when Rudolph wavered for a
moment under the strain. When the
game ended the Royal Rooters parad
ed around the field, singing and snake
dancing. They finally wound up in
front of the Boston bench, cheering

established a new record, for with
their bats they drove Chief Bender,
Ihe Athletics' surest-money pitcher, to
the bench, a feat no other dub ever
achieved against one of Connie Mack's
iwiliers In a world's series. i
Fully r.,00(i spectators saw the
downfall of the Athletics and while
the defeat shortened the odds in the
belting it has not shaken the faith of
the average local fan in the ability of
the .Mackmen to come from behind.
The official attendance figures gave
the paid admissions as 20,502 while
close to a,0U0 additional spectators
must have witnessed the piny from
points of vantage surrounding Shibc
park. The gate receipts amounted to
$4!i, 3 5 , of which the National com
mission took $4,!lS.!t(i; the players,
$26, 805, anil the clubs, $17,870.10.
In the distribution of individual
honors the lion's share went to Pitch
er Rudolph, for it was due in great
iv.it m ih masterly manipulation of
the bail that the Boston club emerged
victor in the first game. of the series.
With the exception of two short pe
riods during the contest he had per
fect control of his delivery and u
hynotizing effect on the Athletic hat
uwlncci'M. He mixed sliced, curves
and slow balls in a bewildering fash
ion, cutting the corners of the plate
and feeding his opponents his floater
ttl.en danger threatened. It was this
slow, deceptive delivery that proved
the .Mackmen's undoing, for they are
weak on tills service and Kudollih was
tt his last In this respect today.
Athletic Tana Astounded.
Bender, who opened for the homo
club, appeared unusually weaK against
ihe Braves, and once they hud seen
his offerings they took liberties with
the Indians delivery thut astonished
the thousands of Athletic supporters
who thronged the stands. Sizzling
singles, doubles and triples rang uu
their bats, flashing over or through
the Infield until at last Cornie Mack
signalled the Chief to to give way to
Wvckoff. and thus
