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 "Allies” were recently defeated Ivy the Cadets, and this time, go down to the park for no other purpose than to “clean-up" for them, just to even the seore. However, the Academy hols have not agreed to this, no not In the least, Its exactly the opposite, they claim that they are Koine to have a percentage of 1.000 chalked tip to their record, that Is, in regard to these former-collegians.

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.
