Philadelphia- —The Boston Braves
Natftrmai L,«n.in>* champions, are in
Philadelphia preparing for the open
ing of the whrld’s scries Friday when
they meet the champion Athletics.
Bostonians, who ended their schedule
in Brooklyn yesterday, planned a
ligtit practice this morning on the
National Leigm* grounds and this
afternoon they were to view the work
of their opponents in n fame with
New York—the farewell contest of the
Amrwican Beaune schedule.
Neither of the opposing managers
has indicated who will be his pitch
ing selection for the opening game,
t but a majority of tlie critics believe
"j Bender, veteran Indian twirier, will
fj be Connie Mack's choice and that he
[f will be opposed by James who they
|! figure, la the best fitted of the Boston
[j ntoundsmen to "repeat” during the
short aeries if necessary. Manager
; Stallings says he has not yet de
it termlned whether James, Tyler, Bu
ll dolph or one of his other pitchers will
ibe given the !*>nor of opening the
l series
W«i declared that Deal would fill the
place at third base, left vacant by the
i injury to Kmlth who broke his leg
K yesterday.
The long line of men and hoys
\ nearly four blocks long waiting for
| ! opening of the ticket sale today pre
p sen ted a. sorry spectacle at daybreak
Many of them had been in line for 4*
i hours, snatching only what sleep they
f could by reclining on soap boxes,
1 camp atoois and chairs.
Fully f*o per cent of the nearly two
? thousand persons waiting for tickets,
tt was estimated, were boy a, many of
whom admitted their only object wa!s
: to hold postilons in the hope of dinpos
Ing of them for a liberal compensation
whan the hour for the opening of the
sale arrived. It is rumored that spec
p tllators have employed most of those
in line to jMirchaJU) tickets for them
| in an effort to circumvent the plans

Speaking
... THE ...
Public Mind
To The Herald:
So the representatives of our city
on the gridiron were defeated Mon
day? I read of It with sorrow in your
columns yesterday. Sorrow for the
defeat and sorrow for the way they
took it. Chiefly for the latter, F may
add, for a defeat after a good fight is
nothing to be sorry for.
They stem to intimate that the ref
eree was not on their side, and do
! actually charge half the score of 25 to
0 to his incompptency.
It is a pity that they should accuse
this young man, who in good faith
refereed the game. Suppose he did
! not know all the Ins and outs of the
! great game at least they should give
| him credit for getting up the nerve to
do the best he could. It takes a level*
! headed man to act as referee of a foot
ball game. He has to have his eyes
pointing many ways to catch all the
plays that are pulled off at one time,
and to penalise always the right man.
Don’t jump on Mr. Wallace for not
knowing the game. Can you declare
that you know it yourself? Be good
losers, A. R. C. Don’t "beef.” We
have enough of that now. Whenever
any athletic organization loses here in
hljlh city, they always have some ex
rnse; but If they win they will devote
columns of reading matter to the
fact.
You seldom hear of the big colleges
and schools "beefing." Why? Be
cause they have the true spirit of
sportsmen The good old game of
football, (of which I am a friend and
admirer) is supposed to have among
its participants men with steady heads
who can go out into the world and
fight life’s battles as they do those on
the gridiron. If they fail in any un
dertaking they do not hold the game
to find excuses, but go at it again
with a greater vim, doggedly to do the
best they can. The world Is very apt
to find excuses for the man who
never makes them for himself.
So buck, A. K. C. Take your de
feat like men. that you may learn to
take your victories
A FOOTBALL FAN.
