PiilLADELPHlA, Oct. 8.——The al-
ready keen wdrld's series rivalry ‘be
tween the Athletics and Braves was in-
- creased to bitterness yesterday by the
entirely unexpected reply of Connie
,Msck to the request of a small favor by
George Stalliugs.
Staillngs, manager of the champion
Bostons, whose aspirations suffered a
slight setback by the unfortunate in-
Jury to Red Smith. in Brooklyn, yes-
terday. was denied the courtesy of a
few minutes' practice at Shibe Park
this morning. The Big Chief wished
his men. who had her er appeared at
lShibe Park, to have an opportunity to "
study the light and angles previous to
the opening game. Under the circum-
stances it did not seem an unusual re.
quest. .Stallings must play his home
games at Fenway Park, a ground which
is far more temiliar to the Athletics
than to the Braves.
Naturally stallings was very much
chagrined by the narrowneas of Mack.

Stallions whilého. was still smarting
