fans, who were obliged b the police to
discard their peach basket seats about f

Then, realizing tho danger was oier. the

They were out In time to be first In the

After the first struggle early this morn

TO SEE THE GAME THROUGH
MANAGER STALLINGS WITH A
DEBATE ON WAR TAX
BILL FORMALLY
BEGUN IN SENATE
Chairman Simmons, of Fi
nance Committee, Says
Measure Would Bring in
$107,001,400 of Needed
Revenue.
WASHINGTON. Oct. lO.-Tho debate
on the war tax bill was formally opened
tn the Senate today by Senator Simmons,
chairman of tho Finance Commltteo nnd
in charge of the bill. He told the Senate
that the ponding bill had been modeled
after tho Spanish war tax bill, nnd that
ns amended by tho Senate commltteo It
was estimated tho bill would raise $107.
001.400 revonuo Tho SpanlHh war tax. ho
said, has raised $103,37-1.000.
"Not nil of the objects taxed In the
law of 1SSS, tho Spanish war tax. nre
Included In this bill." said Senator Sim
mons. "The only two In this bill which
are not included in the law of 1S35 are
wines nnd rectified spirits. Some of the
raws in this bill are lower than In 15SS,
but none nre higher except In the case
of the tax on pawnbrokers "
Senator Simmons discussed at length
tho need for enacting the war tax hill
Into law, pointing out the great decrease
In customs revenues since the European
war hegan. He Insisted that It was
necessary that the Government of the
United States should t3 amply supplied
during the present situation, nnd that
nothing would lead to disaster quicker
than a belief that the Government was
not solvent. Tho money proposed to be
raised, lie said, was absolutely needed
by the Government to carry on its proper
functions
The sub-committee of the Finance Com
mittee, trjing to reach n compromise tax
plan satisfactory to tho California and
Ohio wine growers, has virtually decided
to place a tax of 56 cents a gallon on
spirits used to manufacture sweet wines,
and a flat tax of 6 cents a gallon on ill
domestic distilled wiiie This will make
the tax on sweet wines about 17 cents a
gallon and on dry wines cents a gallon.
Newspaper publishers have asked tho
Senate to change the stamp tax on tho
bills of lading on all packages go that It
will not b" necessary to attach bills of
lading to bundles of nenspapers. They
do not objti t to the tax, but argue that
the transportation companies will not hold
their cars until the newspapers In bundles
are checked, stamped and receipted for.
They suggest that a tax be imposed on the
basis of sworn circulation.

"GUNBOAT" OUTPOINTED
IN BOUT WITH LEVINSKY
Smith Tries In Vain to Land Knock
out on Wary Opponent.
NEW YORK. Oct in.-"Battllng" I.e
vlnsky outpointed "Gunboat" Smith, of
California last night in a 10-rounil bout
at the Manhattan Sporting Club. The
bout, like many other so-called stnr at
tractions, uas more or less of a flivver,
for the Gunner spent his time trying for
a knockout, while Levlnsky tried to stay
the limit and earn a decision on points.
Smith came Into the ring with plenty
of confidence, and this quality gave him
a tllght lead tn the first two rounds, lie
forced Levlnsky. fearful of a sleep-pro-duclng
punch, to back away, and the lat
ter was on tho defensive the whole time.
After the second round I-evlnsUy had the
advantage in every session right up to
the finish.
The Rattler's lead ranged all tho way
up from lery slight in the third session
to a wide margin In the eighth. During
tho third and fourth sessions" Lovlnsky
seemed satisfied tn make his opponent
mlbB while scoring himself with an occa
sional light tap to the head or body.
In the early part of the fifth round
Leiinsky discovered that he could get to
Smith easily while warding off the Gun
ner's broadsides, and thereafter when th.
occasion offered he took tho offensive.
He landed many hard punches during the
sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth sessions,
while the Gunner was trying for a knock
out, which he could not land.
The men fought furiously at the end
and Lovlnsky had a slight lead In the
mix-up. Smith weighed 1&2 pounds and
Uvinsky 172.

Athletics Were Outplayed
Yesterday, But Showed
No Weakness and Will

By HUGH S. FULIiERTON
Boston's BravcB swept tho Athletics off

I In the first clash of the aeries the

1 rushed assault, gave Rudolph brilliant
suppoit, nnd drove Chief Render off the
mound In less than six rounds. The tcr-
l if I c hitting of llnnk dowdy nnd tho won-

tho worlds champions look like sand
lottcrs. This morn Uoston believed tho cham
pionship as good as won. Stntllngs
planned to send Tyler nt tho Athletics
todny nnd match his left-handed shootn
ngnlnst tho skill and wisdom of Eddio
IMank, with the firm confidence thnt If
Tyler gets by todny .lames will beat them
on Jtondny. The Athletics, however, are
far from discouraged, nnd the defeat hnd
little or no effect on them.
Tho chnmplons were stopped by Ru
dolph, who pitched one of the most re
markable games In tho history of sport.
Ho had everything save a fast ball. II
used his spltter with deadly effect and
27 of tho chnmplons "topped" the ball.
Only seven got hold of tho ball cleanly.
Ho used a slow ball, a curve, his spltter,
and not once during the game did the
Athletics really threaten him. It wnn
not so much what Rudolph had as how
he used It. Twice, when ho was "in tho
hole" he broke his curve over at Barry
nnd outguessed him. Twice ho shoved
Ills dinky fast ball across tho centre of
tho plate for third strikes and from
start to finish he outguessed the Ath
letic batters. Three times during the
game ho was In n bad fix and crept out
by his own nervo mnlnly.
CHAMPIONS LACK SPEED.
The great crowd that watched tho
struggle must have wondered what was
tho trouble with the champions. They
could not seem to get up their speed. In
the second Inning, In tho midst of a
rally, Strunk was so slow coming from
third to tho plate that ho was cut down
when ho should have walked home with
the tying run. In the fourth Strunk,
supposedly ono of the fleetest of the
Mnckmcn, was caught nt second on a
hit on which ring Bodlo could have
made n double. It looked odd. The
Mackmen weie doing their best, but
seemed nonplussed oy the Braves' sys
tem of attack and defense. Whatever
they tried went wrong nnd meantlmo
the Braves were assaulting Bender
viciously nnd without regard to the iuh:s
of warfare.
Tho Chief looked good He uas faBt,
his fobt ball hopping, and his curve litis
breaking fairly well. But when he got
the smoke on the ball he lacked con
trol, and when he slowed down to second
speed to get the ball over the Braves
waded In nnd hit the tar out of It.
Especially Mr. II. Gowdy, who promises
to be tho Frank Baker of this series.
This tall, angular, serious oung man
whaled out a double, a triple and a single,
besides drawing a pass. It was his slug
ging that put Bondei hors de combat for
the first timo In his world's series career.
Maranvllle was there with two timely
suats that sent home runs after Gondy
had pounded a breach in tho Athletic de
fenses. One of Marnnvllle's hits wns a.
peifectly placed poke over first that was
one of the Willie Kceler kind of hits, and
as it yielded tho third run and put Ru
dolph on ensy street, It counted for moro
than Old Gowcly's long smashes.
EVEN ON DEFENSE.
So fnr ns actual defensive work goes,
the battle was about even. Neither tenm
had many opportunities for brilliant work
and both arobe to the occasion whenever
a chance was presented Barry nnd
Maranvllle made mngnlflcent catches of
short drop flies over the infield, and
tho speed of the two infields was at
tested by tho five double plays that broke
rallies.
I think the greatest play of the game
was "Butch" Schmidt's In the second
inning when, after catching a foul nt a
difficult angle, he made n wonderful
throw to third that cut down a runner
nnd broke tho Athletics' rally, when It
seemed they would even up the count
and start anew. Deal handled the bound
ing fabt throw perfectly nnd deserved a
lot of credit.
Boston's rooters captured Philadelphia
iast night and nie mad with e.cltement,
but, as a matter of fact, theio is small
reason for them to celebrate. Even in
defeat the Athletics lovealed to students
of the game the weakness of the Bos
ton team. Tho loss of Smith cpuld
scarcely have been more vividly revealed
than It was yesterday. With Smith nt
third the chances are that the Braves
would have scored ten instead of seven
runs. Three times Deal waa up in the
pinch and three times hit into double
plays, and the other time he struck out.
Schmidt looked bad as a first baseman,
save for his one great play.
Thero was not a sign of tho weakening
of Slack's great machine. It looked just
as good as ever, save for tho fact that it
was stopped by Rudolph's pitching.
Whenever it had anything to do. it did
it. nnd did It brilliantly. Collins and
Baker pulled one great double play and
Collins made one of tho most wonderful
plays of the game In breaking down a
base hit, slapping the ball to Barry whllo
going tne otner Direction, and Harry, by
a lightning peg to first came near turn
ing the baso hit Into an out.
Outside of Strunk'e amazing slowness In
getting started In two Instances, the Ath
letics looked Just the same, and thoy
seemed n better ball club than the one
trTat bent them
The selection of pitchers for today's
game was a vital problem I was with
the Braves last night and they nre all
spurred to the top tension and all want
to pitch Stalllngs was noncommittal,
but tho chances favored Tyler, who be
lieves he can beat the Athletics Mack
frankly declared he would pitch Plank
and that he expected to win today's game.
Mack followed set rules In yesterday's
game save In sending Wyckoff In as the
relief pitcher. This fellow looked good,
had a lot of luck and got away with It
save for one run which scored because of
a high throw to the plate.
The outlook now Is for a long-drawn-out
series The betting has switched to 6 to
5 on the Braves, at which price we re
joice to say we placed several dimes that
the Athletics will grab the long end of It

By EDDIE COLLINS
tOnpjrlghtcil, 1014. by EveKito ldcnoKB.1
Round ono for Boston. Thero Is no dis
counting that fact! their demonstration
ns welt ns execution was Impressive
enough to nit to mnlto their superiority a
marked ono over lis In tho first game of
tho scries. And no ono Is more aware of
the fact than we nre right nt the present
moment. However, as the saying goes,
"Experience Is the best teacher," and, be
lieve me, we learned not a few things
In tho game of yesterday.
Wo havo no excuses to offer. Our de
feat was doclslvo enough to forbid the
use of nny "buts" nnd "Ife" by mo nt
this late hour. As Is usually tho case In
n losing game. It Is easy lo look back nnd
seo just what led up to the play that
wns tho start of our eventual ruin, so I
will try to enlighten you ns to what we
now bellevo to bo our mistakes, as well
ns what wc figured were tho Important
winning plays of our opponenU.
We ptnrtcd off quite auspiciously, nnd
when Bender rctlicd 'Mornn nnd Evi9 on
ensy Hies, and fanned Connolly, oiu of
the Brnves' best hitters, on thrco pitched
balls, he looked to be what Is termed
"right" In bnsehnll slang. On the other
hand, our inning Bhnwcd a little brighter.
Eddie Murphy singled cleanly to tight,
Oldrlng sacrificed, nnd a base on bnlle
followed to the next man. AftPr this
Baker lifted n high foul back of first,
which Schmidt, tho Boston first baseman,
was able to get, nnd on which Eddie
Murphy essayed to go to third, nnd with
a llttlo luck would havo made It, at he
beat Schmidt's throw, but unfortunately
he ovorslld the hag nnd wns out.
So good was Bender's performance In
the first that his sudden trnnsgfcsslon
In the second wns most unexpected. At
least, It came without warning to u
nnd, ns It later developed, It was only
the beginning of the end. Whltted, the
first batter, got Chief In a hole right
oft' the reel, but tho count came down
to three nnd two, only to have him walk
anyway. Likewise with Gowdy, as thn
latter had our twlrler three balls nnd
nothing before Chief could get over a
strike. The next ball pitched, a fast
one. a trifle high, was the ball that
won the gnmo for Boston. True, othor
timely swats followod, but this crack
of tho lanky Boston mnskman turned tho
tide of tho battle. It was a double, on
which Whltted easily scored. With tho
count one hall and nothing on "Rabbit"
Maranvllle, Chlof served another fnst
one up, which was sent out to centre
faster than it went up, and Gowdy reg
istered run number two for Boston, which
wns enough to win.
CHANCE IN SECOND.
A golden opportunity was made pos
sible In our half when Mclnnls walked
nnd came nil tho way home when
Strunk's single to right went through
Moran's legs to the fence. This put a
man on third for us and no one out.
Rudolph appeared nono too Bure of him
self and seemed to experience consider
able difficulty In locating tho plate. Gen
erally speaking, our chances looked
bright for teveral rims, but they sim
ply did not materialize. With two strikes
and ono ball called Barry helped Rudolph
out Immensely by fanning on a ball
almost a font outside. Schang followed
nnd hit a bod ball, Inside, weakly to
the Infield, on which Strunk was retired
on a close play at tho plate, and with
which went our last good chanco to
mnko any headway.
Thereafter until tho seventh we never
wero dangerous: in fact, wo never had a
chance to be Baker renewed hope with
us when he was allowed to reach first on
a fumblo by Evers a hard chanco nnd
It could have been scored n base hit. Ru
dolph never got a ball near tho plate for
Mclnnls. nnd ho walked. But that was
nil, for Strunk rolled to tho first base
man. Barry fnnned and Lapp expired,
Rudolph to Schmidt.
I do not want to take any credit away
fiom Rudolph, becauso ho deserves all
that is coming to him nnd he pitched a
masterful game, but my contention itbout
the outcome of cstorday'H game Is that
wo did more to beat ourselves, and really
can attribute our defeat to nothing else,
That Is tho angle from which we view It,
nnd it is only natural that we, ns losers,
should. Just whnt I mean I will try to
explain. In the first place, we were too
anxious to lilt that bnll, and Rudolph's
tendency to bo wild was really an asset,
when It should have been just the oppo
site. To illustrate moro clearly, analyze
tho count on tho dilftrent batters that he
fanned; every ono swung nt a bad ball;
there was not a single exception. Wo
could not seem to wait for his ball to
get up to tho plate, and every man on
our club, except Eddie Murphy, one or
more times during tho game, cither struck
out or hit bad balls that nine times out
of ten wc would never offer at again.
But that Is just the way It goes some
times; no matter what you do, you do
wrong. And so it was with us yester
day, nnd It nil depends on which way
ou look nt It, whether It was Rudolph's
effectiveness or ovoranxlety on our part,
bccatiso I havo seen many pitchers with
a better fast ball, better curve and a
better breaking spltter than Rudolph had
yesterday; mil ne got away with It, and
you have got to hand it to him. and
rightly, too.
PRAISE FOR HANK GOWDY.
From a Boston standpoint Hank Gowdy
stands out head and shoulders above the
rest. What Rudolph was on the defensive
the Boston catcher was on the offensive
and then some H0 had a perfoct day at
hat, and his stlckuork alone heat us He
drove In the first run. as was previously
menttont-d. with .i double, scoied the third
on his triple and was also tangled up In
the riot that put Chlof to tho bad In tho
fcixtli and caued tho first retirement of
his caieer trom a world series game.
Next to him Maranvllle. the diminutive
shorstop of the Braves, aided our down
fall, although a triple by Whltted was
niot damaging
It was Just one of those games in which
one club does all tho hitting and the other
naturally looks bnd by comparison In
spite this, I am just as linn In my opinion
that we will eventually win the series,
and, furthermore, bellove the next time
the Chief shows, which he Is bound lo
do, probably In the opening gamo In Bos
ton, thore will be a different tale to tell.
In 111 wa lost the opening game of the
series and camo back .tronger than ever,
and I am sure that we will do tho samo
In this I imagine Eddie Plank will do
our pitching today, which will probably
make a change In the Boston line-up,
sluie Manager Stalllngs hue made it a
practice to iuh his outfielders when a
left-hander works I suppose James will
trj his hand against us, but il doen t
matter much f..r if once we can get
started with thni, stir-ka look out we
will make trouble for some one, and It's
very liable, to Jaapjjea- ltls aturnoon.
