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 The Georgia - Carolina Fair Starts a Week From Today THE AUGUSTA HERALD 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.

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.

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 will insure the , lines of communica 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. News that the armies are deployed in a comparatively level country, shorter periods of vigorous fighting will, It is fe't, probably produce more decisive results than did the engage ments In the entrenched areas. boats had no regular gangways and the only means of boarding them were over narrow plunks, tipped at danger ous angles. . • "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.” 45.000 GERMAN LOSS, ANTWERP London, 10:25 a. m “Ft, is stated that the Gormans lost 45,000 men during the attack on fortresses Waol hern and Wavro-St. Cather ine at Antwerp,” says a Central News dispatch from Amsterdam.
