murphman61 says: Captains Ira Thomas and Johnny Evers meet with the Umpires at Home before Game 1 in Philadelphia. Both managers, George Stallings of the Braves and the A's Connie Mack probably sent players as their representatives since they both wore street clothes and not uniforms.

murphman61 says: HANK GOWDY The Catcher usually hit 6th in the order. Gowdy had a great 1914 World Series batting .545 with 3 doubles, a triple and the Series' only Home Run leading off the 10th inning of Game 3. That Home Run brought the Braves back to within a run and they would score another run to tie it later that inning. Gowdy would then lead off the 12th with a double and his pinch-runner, Les Mann, would go on to score the winning run moments later.
