ITHIETICS TRYING
"TO REGAIN HONORS
LOST IN FIRST GAME
Today's Contest Is the Most
Important of the Series to
Philadelphians
GEO. STALLINGS IS CONFIDENT
Betting in Shibe Park Was Even
on Outcome of Cham
pionship Series
By Associated Press
Shibe Park. Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—
The Boston Braves. National League
pennant winners, victorious in the
opening engagement of the world's
series campaign of 1914, gave battle
upon Shibe field again to-day with the
Philadelphia Athletics. Twenty thou
sand persons viewed the fray and
cheered the American league cham
pions in their efforts to turn the for
tunes of battle in their favor, and
thereby place the two contenders for
the season's baseball honors on even
terms.
To-day's game was almost crucial
for the Athletics. A defeat meant that
Boston would open their two-day
home stay in Fenway Park on Monday
with only two more victories needed
to clinch the big title in baseball, while
the Athletics would be forced to strug
gle desperately to take four full games
to take the world's series. Rotting
was even to-day on the outcome of
the series.
"We have looked the Athletics over;
taken their measure in the first game
and beaten up their big gun Bender,"
said Manager Stallings. of the Boston
club, before the game. "We will win
the series. It's Tyler or James to-day.
Either can make the Athletics throw
their bats away."
Plank On Mound
The Athletics looked to Eddie
Plank's cross-fire to crumple up the
Bostons' onslaught to-day. The \et
eran southpaw dinger was Manager
Mack's early choice for the tiring line.
"We'll be out there to-day lighting
all the way," said Shortstop JacK
Barry, of the Athletics. "Our club
comes back quickly after defeat and
we won't look like the same team
when we get to hitting."
The day was built for baseball. The
sun dried up the moist clouds during
the morning and shone brilliantly
upon the soft greens of the in and out
fields. An August temperature pre
saged the workout of the players in
iprartice and a fast fielding game.
% The two teams went about their bat
ing and llelding practice with zest and
a degree of speed and nrtisanship
that promised a smart and grimly
fought contest.
Plank and Schang were announced
as the batteries for the Athletics;
James and Gowdv were announced as
the batteries for Boston.
Umpire Hildebrand gave the de
cisions behind the plate, while Byron
gave the decisions on the bases; em
pire Klem went to left field and Um
pire Dineen went to right.

a ball, the curve breaking wide of the

runner. Kvers scratched an infield

14 PAGES * POSTSCRIPT
King Albert Leads His
Defenders Out of the
City After 10 Days' Fight
Damage to Seaport Town Is Reported to Be Enormous;
Both Sides Lose Heavily; Populace Panic Stricken
and Thousands of Refugees Are Crowding Roads;
Line of Battle in West Now Extends 350 Miles
Antwerp, the one stronghold that remained to the Belgians
after the loss of Liege and Namur, has fallen before the Germans
under General Von Beseler. The siege occupied ten days.
No details of the German occupation have been made known.
A dispatch from The Hague says that the city surrendered at 2.30
o'clock Friday afternoon. A German official communication com
ing by way of London says that the "town since midday (Friday)
has been in our possession."
The British war office announces that "Antwerp was evacuated
by the Belgians yesterday." The French official statement ko-day
says only that it is announced that Antwerp was taken yesterday
but that the conditions under which it was occupied by the Germans
are not yet known.
To-day's news dispatches indicate that early reports of the
damage done by the bombardment probably were exaggerated and
that the cathedral of Xotre Dame and other historic structures may
have escaped injury.
It is believed in London that the final resistance was made by a
small garrison which was sacrificed in order to permit the escape of
the Belgian army which is now reported to be somewhere between
Antwerp and Ostend trying to make its way to the lines of the
allies. '
German aggression at various places along the line of the field
fighting is reported from Paris which however, declares that the
battle continues under satisfactory conditions. The announcement
of the French war office says that the entire battlefront of the allies
has been maintained in spite of violent attacks by the Germans at
several points.
CAVALRY FIGHTING ON LEFT
Cavalry fighting on the left wing of the allies between La Bassee
and Cassel continues without notable result. Progress to the north
of the Oise and in the region of St. Mihiel is claimed for French
arms.
Paris reports also partial success by the Russians on the east
Prussian frontier and that the siege of Przemysl continues under
conditions favorable to the Russians.
A news dispatch from Russian Poland says that a Russian at
tack extending from Wilkowyszki along a front of sixty miles to a
nvint below Lyck, East Prussia, was repulsed, the Russians losing
fieavily while the German losses were light.
A dispatch from Amsterdam asserts that Germany is expecting
momentarily a declaration of war upon her by Portugal.
Athens reports that a German officer has arrived at Damascus
and has taken over the direction of the Syrian general staff. He is
also recruiting Bedouins.
Christian refugees are reported as arriving at Cyprus from Turk
ish ports. They report great unrest in Turkey.
The trial of the assassins of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his consort will be opened in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, on
Monday. Twenty-one Servians and four Crotians, ten of the total
being under 20 jears of age are assued of high treason.

New Freight Rates
With Commisioners
Special to The Telegrafrh
Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.—The#
first tilings of the lines West of the
Mississippi river, of a proposed gen
eral advance in commodity freight
rates which the Western roads con
template submitting to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, have been
made. It is known that a large num
ber of tariff schedules will be filed
by the Western lines during this
month, to become effective about De
cember 1. No determination yet has
been reached by the commissiou as to
whether it will suspend the proposed
increases, but the probability Is that
the advancts generally will be sus
pended, pending a hearing as to the
necessity for the increase.
Fewer Idle Cars.—Gradual lessen
ing of the number of idle freight cars
Is indicated In the fortnightly bulletin
of the American Railway Association.
The surplus of idle freight equipment
on October 1 was 131,027 cars, as
compared with, 136,049 on September
16, a decrease of 5,022 cars. Under
normal business conditions this sur
plus would have been eliminated by
this time of the year.
