Chicago, Sept. 28.—The national baseball commission meeting here to- day changed the dates of the world series games, which were timed. Un- der the new arrangements the first game will be played at Brooklyn on October 5. Games will also be played at Brooklyn on October 6 and 7. The teams will then go to the American League city, the winner of the pennant, either Cleveland or Chicago. Four games will be played in the American League city. The eighth game will be played in Brooklyn October 14 and the ninth, if necessary, in the National League city on October 16. The change in dates was made on requets of Jinmy Dunn, owner of the Cleveland Indians, probable winners of the American League pennant. Dunn appeared before the commis- sion and declared that arrangements for the opening game, if held in Cleveland, could not be completed by October 5. A new- stand i§ being erected and other arrangemenis made to enter the contest. - : WHITE PINE BLISTER , RUST IS SPREADING THROUGH MINNESOTA Scouts Sent—Out by State Entomologist Report Big Spread of Fungi White pine blister rust is spread- ing north and west in Minnesota—at least scouts sent out' entomologist, A. G../iRuggies, with ‘Headquarters at University Faym, have reported finding this destructive fungi far outside its knowm limita: tions last year. This white pine blis- ter rust lives on the inner bark of white pine trees and on the leaves of all known kinds of currants and gooseberries, wild or tame. Pro- fessor Ruggles' scouts report find- ing of the disease on currant and gooseberry plants on the shores of Gull Lake just north and west of Brainerd, and also in the wooded country between Grand Rapids and Deer River in Itasca county, the lat- ter infection being only about fifteen miles from the Minnesota national forest. These discoveries show a wid- ening belt of infections since last year of from 20 to 25 miles north and 35 to 40 miles west. Three agencies are co-operating in investigations and fighting the white pine blister rust in Minnesota; name- ly, the forces of the state entemolog- ist, the forces of the state forester and officials of the bureau of plant industry, Washington, D. C. State Forester Cox is in charge of eradica- tion work in the state. The policy is to work directly with the owners of white pine tracts, destroying all cur- rant and gooseberry bushes which are the host plants for the propagation of the disease. The disease cannot spread directly from pine to pine, but must go from a white tree to a currant or gooseberry bush before it can go to another white pine tree. If there are no currant or goose- berry bushes within a third of a mile of white pine woods, the dis- ease can be kept out of that locality. As a result of recent findings it is apparent that the blister rust, which is often very destructive to young pine trees, is firmly established in Minnesota.
