Fenway Park, Boston.—" We've got
■the jump on the Athletics and they
never can get up enough speed to
catch us now,” said Manager Stallings
of the Bostons.
"We have not been hitting.” said
Captain Ira Thomas of the Athletics,
"and any team looks feeble when it is
not getting in solid blows. Watch us
today.”
Boston was plain baseball crazed.
Within an hour after the unreserved
stands were flung open every seat was
taken and scores lined the backfieid
fences and pressed against a guard
fence erected around the rear of the
outfield. Once the crowd broke the
wooden barrier and mounted police had
to drive the people back into the en
closure. A force of carpenters repair
ed the fence. All this was three hours
before game time.
Betting was 10 to 7 on the Bostons
to take the series. Wagers at these
odds were made at noon.
Batting practice was lively and the
1 v-gs drives of the home club were vig-
Kjwly cheered by the crowd.
Tding practice was mechanically
p&'Nft and executed with a snappt
ness and brilliancy that stirred the
spectators to salvos of applause.
Before play was called Captain Ev
ers of the Bostons was presented witt)
an automobile in recognition of his be
ing the most valuable player to his
team in the National I.eague.
Manager Stallings was presented
with a diamond sttckpin and a gold
ball by Mayor Curley of Boston on be
half of the city government.
Captain Evers was also presented
with a gold bat by Mayor Curley.
Fine Weather.
Boston.—Fenway Park, scene of
memorable games In the world's series
of 1912, today staged the third game
in the series of 1914 between the Bos
ton Braves, winners In the National
League, and the Philadelphia Athletics,
Americai. League champions and de
fenders of the world's title. It was
almost a last ditch defense for the
Athletics, as their opponents had won
both of the games already played. Vic
torious today the Bostons would need
only one game to gain the world's
baseball honors. Weather conditions
could not have been better.
Summer Weather.
A bright sun developed an atmos
phere of summer, tempered somewhat
by a cooling breeze from the south
west. Thousands of persons moved on
Fenway Park this morning to Join the
hundreds who had held places during
the night in lines that led to the
bleacher entrances. The first few ar
rived at noon yesterday; by nightfall
the waiting numbered a score; at mid
night the line was 200 strong, and by
sunrise more than 500 were waiting
their turn. Borne slept on the ground,
others had brought straw; a few had
equipped themselves with comforters.
Bonfires were started but were extin
guished by the police.
20,000 Rush Seats.
There were nearly 20,000 rush seats,
| 5,000 of which were to be had for 50
I cents each. The others sold for sl.
With 15.000 grandstand seats dis
posed of indications were that the
number of spectators would be about
35,000.
Boston went into this afternoon's
game a strong favorite for the series.
A c 'nferencp with Manager Mack at
the hotel last night had given tne
Philadelphia players new hope. A
change of, thetr style of play was ex
pected, the plan of campaign previ
ously decided upon having been proven
entirely inadequate.
Desperate Measure!.
Only desperate measures, It was be
lieved, could bring the champions on
even terms with the Braves and these
they were prepared to take. The Ath
letics have stolen only one base in
two, games and have .got but seven
hits No man on the entire Phila
delphia team who has been at bat more
than once has an average of .200.
Never In world's series history have
ao many consistent hitters slumped.
In the usual order of things Tyler
■would be the Boston pitching choice
today. He Is considered of a tempera
ment necessitating the encouragement
of a home crowd and an advantage to
his team to be at his beet. Manager
Btalllngs, however, would t\ot commit
fhlmself. He mentioned Rudolph and
flfese as possibilities In the same
breath with Tyler.
More Serious One.
Manager Mack's problem wee a more

serious one. His veterans, Bender and
Plank, had fallen before the Boston
bats, and only the younger pitchers
were left for choice. Prominent among
these was Bush, who pitched his team
t„ victory over New York in the third
game of the series last year. Harry
Davis, former captain and now the
coach of the Athletics, said he thought
Bush would be selected today. Bress
ler, a left-handed youth with little ex
perience, but with a baffling curve
and a cool head, was considered a like
ly candidate. The players of both
teams, having rested yesterday and
retired early last night, all reported
themselves In good condition.
FIRsfINNING
First Half.
The first pitch of Tyler was a ball.
The next one came over for a strike.
Murphy doubled down the left field
line. Oldring sacrificed Tyler to
Schmidt, Murphy going to third. The
Boston infield came in close on the
grass to make a play at the plate.
Murphy scored when Connolly drop
ped Cabins’ intended sacrifice fly.
Baker struck out, miHsing a curve
ball by a yard. Gowdy tried to pick
Collins off first but his throw was
late. Collins stole second, Gowdy’s
throw being low. Mclnnis walked.
Collins was picked off second, Tyler
to Evers. One run, one hit, one error.
Second Half.
. .Bush's first pitch shot around Mo
ran’s neck for a ball. After pitching
three straight balls Bush put over two
strikes. Moran then fouled off the
next four pitches. Moran popped out
to Collins. Evers singled over Barry's
head. Bush worked a fast inshoot al
most exclusively. Connolly fouled
out to Baker who made the catch near
the Athletics’ bench. Evers, stole
second, Schang’s throw being to the
left of the bag. Whitted was a strike
out victim. No runs, one hit, no
errors.
SECOND INNING
First Half. 4
The Athletics were now ahead for
the first time in the series. Tyler
took Walsh's splash and threw him
out. Tyler worked a wide curve and
had a deceptive cross fire. Barry
out on a foul to Schmidt. Tyler fed
Schang with slow curves. Evers took
Kchnng’s looping fly with his glove
hand. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Second Half.

Bush’s change of pace. Deal flew out
to Baker. The wind almost carried
the ball out of Baker’s reach. Maran
ville walked. Maranvllle stole sec
ond. Maranvllle scored when Gowdy
knocked a two-bagger Into the left
field bleacherß. Tyler almost got a
hit down the left field line, but the
ball was foul by a foot or more. Barry
threw out Tyler at first. Ons run,
one hit, no errors.
THIRD INNING
First Half.
Bush fodled out to Schmidt. Evers
tossed out Murphy at first. Maran
vllle threw out Oldring. No runs, no
hits ,no errors.

the players were inclined to wait
them out, the game moved slowly.
Moran out, Baker to Mrlnnls. Bush
threw out Evers at first. Connolly
flew out to Murphy. No runs, no hits,
no errors.
Fenway Park, Boston At
the end of the fourth inning the
score stood: Braves Two, Ath

Terrific Cavalry Charges Around
Lille Thought Beginning of Events
of Tremendous Moment Very Soon
Extreme Limit of Battle in Northern France
Now Within 20 Miles ot Straits of Dover.
Shorter Periods of Vigorous Fighting Now
Expected. Antwerp’s Capture of Great Im
portance to Germans.
London, 10:20 a. m.—Except for a
flood of vivid details regarding the
fall of Antwerp, the British public
practically has been cut off from news
from the front during the last twelve
hours. It is felt, however, that the
events of tremendous moment either
are occurring or are impending about
Lille, where the cavalry of the con
tending forces has been In violent
contact for a week.
Antwerp’s Utility.
Military critics of the London pa
pers devote their space to speculation
regarding the utility of Antwerp for
German offense or defense. Most of
them agree that unless Dutch neu
trality is violated, Antwerp will be of
no more use in making Zeppelin and
naval raids on England than other
places in Belgium which have been
occupied for some time by the in
vaders. They agree, however, that
for military purposes the occupaltno
of Antwerp is of supreme Importance
to Germany, which there will be able
to raise several divisions to aid the
sorely pressed right wing.
ANTWERP DAMAGE
IS NOT SERIOUS
Only Suburb of Berchem and City’s Southeast Quarter Suf
fered Badly. Wild Struggle of the Panic Stricken Inhab
itants in Effort to Leave.
London, 3:55 a. m.—" Antwerp was
not seriously damaged by the German
bombardment," says The Chronicle's
Amsterdam corerspondent. "Only the
suburb of Berchem and the southeast
quarter of the town suffered badly.
"Long after they had been evacuat
ed the Germans continued firing on
and around the ruins of the blown-up
forts. They feared mines and hoped
thug to destroy them. Near the south
ern suburbs the ground had been ex
tensively mined by the Belgians but
the Germans were warned by trait
ors.”
The Flight.
The Chronicle's Antwerp correspon
dent gives this picture of the panic In
Antwerp and the flight of the popu
lace to safety:
"Before the bombardment had been
long In operation Antwerp's civil pop
ulation fell Into panic. Immense crowds
gathered along the quaysida and at the
railroad stations In their efforts to
make an exit from the city.
Marly on Thursday morning mor*
than forty thousand had assembled on
the long quay In the hope of hoarding
fifteen tug boats bound for Hushing,
Kotterda mand other Dutch ports.
Wild Struggle,
These were not vessels of any con
siderable carrying capacity and as no
one had made arrangements for a sys
tematic embarkation a wild struggle
followed among the frantic people The
If Retreat Necessary.
Furthermore the capture, of the city

tion should retreat be necessary
through Relglum. Additional details
of the shelling of Antwerp indicate
that the damage was not as great as
first estimated'and may be offset In
a large measure by the great destruc
tion wrought on German shipping in
the harbor by the Belgians. An of
ficial communication from Berlin says
no Information is yet available as to
the aomunt of booty taken In tho
town.
Within 20 Miles.
The same official statement asserts
that on Saturdny German cavalry
completely routed a French cavalry
division west of Lille, which Indicates
that the extreme limit of the western
battle Is within twenty miles of the
Straits of Dover.

the only means of boarding them were
over narrow plunks, tipped at danger

"t'p these the fugitives struggled,
the strong elbowing the weak out of
the way In ,their mad haste to escape.
It was marvelous that there was not
a terrible death list. Many persons
were forced over Into the water but
their rescue generally was prompt.”

Par la, 6:C4 a. m.—The progress of the
f'ampHljfii In the north of Franco and
tlu* fall i»f Antwerp were forgotten for
a moment today by the people of Parts,
wlm everywhere were discussing % the
throwing of bomba on the capital from
German aeroplanes. As a result of a
raid yesterday three persons were killed
and fourteen wounded. Another attack
this morning resulted less disastrously,
bombs dropped between two departing
vailroad trains falling to explode.
Aerial Defense.
General Hirschauer was appointed to
take charge of the aerial defense of the
°lty. He Is an aeronautic expert and
organized last year the aerial branch
of the army service. A number of
deputies met at the call of Deputy
Denys Cochin to consider various means
of rendering the city more secure from
aeroplane attacks.
The creation of nerial squadrons stn
tioned at cardinal points to be always
ready to dash after the aircraft of the
enemy as soon as they should be sig
nalled approaching the city; tlie arming
of ftsf monoplanes with quick fifing
guns and the telephoning of warnings
by residents of the capital to the French
Aero Gluh which is now under military
control, were among the suggestions
discussed.
To Reassure Them.
Finally M. Cochin sent a telegram to
Pordeaux urging the immediate adop
tion of efficacious measures with the
view of reassuring the people.
The news that one of the Germ »n
