J Why Jeff Pesters Mutt We Rnoweth Not IT lookaukg Predicted Boston and Philadelphia Will Draw Record Crowds. SHOULD MAKE A HIGH TOTAL If Severn Games Are Played It l Kx pected that Rsdoi-Nfw York erlea 1912 Iterords AMU Be Shattered. NEW YORK. Oct. 6. Base hall statistic ians are at present endeavoring to fore cast the probable attendence at the com ing world series between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Boston Braves. It Is predicted that should the series, which begins this week, prove closely contested and extend Into six or seven games, existing records will be In danger of eclipse In one or more directions. Both Boston and Philadelphia have demon strated great supporting power In past world's series, the funs flocking to the parks la enormous numbers and taxing tho capacity of stands and fields to the limit permitted by local ordinances and tha nattlonal commission ground rules. The attendance at tbe 1913 series played between New York and Philadelphia was 151,000. The series of the previous season when New York and Boston clubs en gaged nn eight game struggle before the Boston Americans finally defeated the Now York Nationals set attendance fig ures at 251,901, which stands as the record today. It Is not likely that this quarter of a million mark will be reached in the coming series since neither the Boston 'no.- Philadelphia parks can accomodate t'ne world's series throngs that can find seats snd standing iiom at the New York Polo grounds. It is expected that should tho Athletics and Braves battle through six games the total attendance will pass j the 150.00J marks. If this provti correct the total attendance at the world's series games since 1903. when th National rom- mission assumed marge or me annual inter-league championship, will approach f lose to 1 00,000 1. since the aggregate total nn necrd Avaiianie. ; No acciuate i-?cord of the attendance during the ye.rs 18R4 to 190! I. available, j but there weru twelve Eerles played within the period mentioned, the total j number of games being eighty, and It has ! been estimated liiat the average average attend- ante at these games approximated 3.0O) Assuming tho estlmat-. as made by former players and oftkes. to be correct, It would add another 20,00'i to the known total attendance of the series to date and biing the aggregate figures within strik ing distance of 2,OC0.0O9 for the twenty -two series played since 1SS4. Although neither Boston nor Philadel phia approach New York In the matter of record crowds in these series, both cities have for years furnished large throngs whenever the National or Amer ican league clubs were contenders for World's championship honors. In almost all cases In recent years the size of the cioHds have been governed by the park capacities. It is for this reason that New York shows larger average attendance ( than the two cities that will be repre sented this year, with 32,017 for twelve games, covering the series of 1904-11-12-13. Boston shows an average of 22..1R9 spec tators for nine games played there in the series of 1903 and 1012.

Batting Strength of the Rival Champions NEW YORK. Oct. o.

Three of them Collins, Mc Inmia and Baker are well over the mu.'h desired .300 mark, while Connolly la tbe only ope among the Braves to have that distinction.

All of the regular Inrtclders, outfielders and the catcher that Manager Mack expects to send In ngainst the Braves next Friday, were In the game, with the exception or Melnnls. the latter having two swre fingers and he merely took part In tha batting practice. The Injury is not serious enough to keijp him out of tho big games. Walsh played first base for Philadelphia in good style. The, American champions showed the effect of their layoff by their weak hitting, but this was offset by excellent fielding and splendid twirling by Bush, Breasler and Shawkey. Each pitched thre Innings. Bush not permitting; a hit, and Bressler and Shawkey only one each. 8core : NEW YORK. PHILADELPHIA. All. H. O A R. AH. H.O.A B.
