Sliibe Park. Philadelphia, Oct. 9.
The Boston Braves, winners of the
National League pennant, this after
noon won the lirst of the world's series
games from the Athletics, the Ameri
can League pennant winners: score.
7 to 1. The Bostons scored early in
the game and secured enough runs to
win easily. Bender, sent in to pitch
for the Mackmen, was knocked out of
the bos. Rudolph was steady at all
stages of the game and allowed but
five scattered ldts. The crowd was
estimated at more than 20,000.
Shibe Park, Philadelphia. Oct. 9.
The Boston Braves, pennant winners
of the National League, and the Phil
adelphia Athletics, champions of the
American League, «Jashed to-day in
the first battle for the world's base
ball championship of 1911. Some 22,-
000 persons saw the opening engage
ment of the seven-game series. Hun
dreds were turned away at the gates,
unable to obtain admission to the
crowded stands.
The Bostons prepared to sent! their
Blow hall boxman, Dick Rudolph, to
the pitching emplacement to shell the
Athletics out of their home defenses.
The American leaguers groomed 'he
Indian Bender to pitch off the Boston
Invaders with his fast ball.
"Slow ball pitching Is not relished
by the Mack artillery of batters and
I guess it will be Rudolph for the
fray to day," remarked Manager
George Stalling*. "Still I may switch
to James or Tyler. They are all good,
you know."
The vast reaches of Shibe Park
were choked to capacity long before
game time. Three and four times the
regular seat prices were offered for
tickets and the demand at these fig
ures exceeded the supply.
Stand Soon Crowded
The outfield stand, seating 4,000 per
sons, was thrown open at 10.60
o'clock. It was filled within a short
time and the gates were closed. The
first in lines for seats in this unre
served section had waited over forty
hours for the pates to open. Several
women stood in line since daybreak.
The crowd holding reserved tickets in
the. covered and double-decked stand
came to the park later. Hundreds
viewed the contes from temporary
stands erected on the roofs of houses
that overlook the bark field walls.
The day was warm and humid and
one suited for fiist baseball. An in
sistent sun burned through the men
acing clouds and there was only a
slight threat of showers from the
southwest. The infield and outer gar
dens were bone dry and hard.
Betting favored the Athletics at 2
to 1 and 9 to 5 when the two teams
came upon the field for batting and
field practice. Preliminary field play
was snappy and scintillating. The
work of the Boston player Deal, who
substituted at third base for Smith,
who broke his leg this week, was
keenly watched. He displayed no
fielding faults in warming up.
The umpires came upon the field at
1.55 and they were promptly photo
graphed. Umpires Dineen and Hilde
brand conferred with <"'aptain Thomas,
of the Athletics, and Captain Evers,
of Boston, regarding ground rules.

EXTRA!!!
HEAVY ARTILLERY OF
GERMAN FORCES IS
POUNDING ANTWERP
Last Remaining Stronghold of Belgians Continues to Hold
Out Against Kaiser's Army; King Albert Is Reported
to Be Leading His Soldiers Out of City; Censorship
Veils True Reports of Fighting in Vicinity
German heavy artillery is pounding Antwerp, the last remaining
stronghold of the Belgian army while German armies to the west
continue the thus far indecisive struggle with the French and
British allies.
Beyond this little is known of to-day's developments in Belgium
and Trance. Ihe situation at Antwerp is in doubt. The censorship
which masked the fighting there until the Belgian government was
compelled to withdraw to Ostend, is now veiling the attack on the
city proper. Reports coming through London refer only to events
of yesterday morning or earlier.
King Albert is variously reported as leading a part of the Bel
gian army out of the city with the intention probably of effecting a
juncture with the British and French ; and as having arrived at
Selszaete, a village on the Dutch frontier. Refugees from Antwerp
continue to pour into Holland. They report that the German guns
already have done much damage in the city.
I he bombardment of Antwerp's inner forts is said to have begun
at 12.30 o'clock Thursday morning. Two of these forts are reported
to have been silenced and fire is said to have started in four parts
of the city.
The most recent statement by the German war office stated that
the Germans had crossed the flooded area along the river Xethe and
continue to make progress.
LITTLE CHANGE RECORDED
The general situation in the west has undergone no change,
says a French official announcement made at 3 o'clock this after
noon. The battle continues along the line of Lens, Arras, Bray-sur-
Somme, Chaulnes, Rove and Lassigny. An artillery duel is occur
ring in the Woevre district. Otherwise nothing of importance on
; the right or on the center of the allies is reported by the French.
The Paris announcement says that Montenegrin troops continue
j their advance on Saraycvo, the capital of Bosnia. A similar report
| has been made almost daily for many days.
The Austrian war office, in its most recent communication re
ports successes against the Montenegrins and a decisive blow against
the Servian invaders of Bosnia at Vishegrad.
The Austrian army headquarters also reported the recapture
of Przeszow and the repulse of the Russians who are marching on
Przemysl in Galicia.
RUSSIANS BACK IN EAST PRUSSIA
The latest reports from the eastern theater of war are that the
Russians who invaded East Prussia and lafer were defeated and
driven back to the Niemen river, have again invaded East Prussia,
driving the Germans back as far as Lvck. On the other hand the
Germans are in force in Russian Poland, having reached almost to
Waraw, while the Russian movement west through Galicia is meet
ing a stubborn resistance from German and Austrian forces. The
Russians claim to have captured one of the forts at Przemysl. A
similar claim was made several days ago.
A dispatch from Athens says that German officers have placed
large German guns in the forts on the Dardanelles and the Bosp
horus.
British aeroplanes have made another visit to the Zeppelin
hangars at Dusseldorf where some damage by bombs was done. The
airships attacked also the hangars at Cologne'but without success.
The Australian government has proposed a gift of SSOO,OCC> tb
Belgium.
Further indications of dissension in the Italian cabinet are con
tained in a dispatch from Rome saying that the minister of war
General Grandi, has resigned.
Advices from Kiao-Chow say that the Tapanese have mounted
siep;e guns on Prince Henry mountain which dominates the forts
at Tsing-Tau.
A dispatch from London says that a renewal of hints from
Washington that the subject of peace on the basis of a "dran" was is
again under discussion, have been met with the apparently inspired
statement by the Westminster Gazette that while there is no desire
to humiliate the German people there must be no mistake as to the
fact that Great Britain intends to crush militarism.
Germans Open Attack on
Inner Circle of Forts
London, Oct. 9. 10.40 A. M. —The
official communication of the German
general staff given out at Berlin in
the evening of October 8 is contained
in a dispatch to Reuters Telegram
Company from Amsterdam. It says:
"From the western scene of war
no facts of decisive importance can
be mentioned. Small progress has
been made near St. Mihiel and in the
Argonnes.
' Before Antwerp, Fort Breedonk
(to the south of Antwerp) has been
taken and the attack on the inner
fort line has begun therewith. The
bombardment of the quarter of the
town lying behind was begun after
the declaration of the commander of
the stronghold that he took the re
sponsibility.
"The airship Hall at Dusseldorf has
been hit by a bomb thrown by a hos
tile aviator. The roof of the Hall was
pierced and the cover of an airship
in the hall was demoished.
"Jn the east the Russian column is
marching from Loraia (Russian Po
land) and has reached Lyck, (in East
Prussia just beyond the frontier and
almost directly west from Augus
towo)."
GERMAN EFFORT DESTROYED
London, Oct. 9. 8.45 A. M.—The cor
respondent at Antwerp of the Central
News under Thursday's date ?ends the
following "The German effort to
wards North France with a view of
fixing a wedge between Antwerp and
the allies has been nearly destroyed.
Fierce fighting is occurring around
Ltlle and south of Ghent. Prisoners
have been taken to Dunkirk and Os
tend and a German aeroplane has
been destroyed."

Paris Expects Decisive
Battle Along Aisne Soon
P"! 8 - Oct. 9. 5.05 A. M.— Most of
the letters from soldiers at the front
speak of the great battle that is ex
pected for the morrow that will de
cide the great struggle along the Aisne
and In the north, which shows that
they, as well as the military critics are
baffled by the Immense operations of
which big battles here and there con
stitute mere details.
Heavy fighting occurs everv day
along some part of the battle line the
irrportance of which cannot be gath
ered from tl\e sober details of the offi
cial statements, and so it Is impossi
ble to assemble all of the simultan
eous movements bearing on the gen
eral situation. As a consequence the
reviews of the situation by critics this
! morning resemble what they said yes
[terday and day before.
Incendiary Bombs Being
Dropped on Belgian City
London, Oct. 9, 6.05 A. M.—The
bombardment of Antwerp has been
terrible says an Ostend dispatch to the
Reuter Telegram Company under date
of Thursday.
"The Germans threw Incendiary
bombs," the dispatch adds, "with the
result that many -arts of the town be
tween the railway station at Uc south
and the Palace of Justice are In
flames. It is rumored here that the
Germans have been repulsed on the
left bank of the river Nethe.
"A Taube aeroplane flew over Os
