They then registered a non-essen- tial victory in_the second, which went eleven innings, score, 7-6. The Giants assured themselves of the National League pennant earlier in the week. Tonight the argumentative metro- politan fan is looking for the Iilinois brother who always brought into every discusslon of the relative merits of Chicago and New York the fact that Chicago was the only place good enough to have a whole world series in its own back yard. This happened in 1906, when the White Sox won out in the American League race and the Cubs finished first in the National. Al Games in One Park. The entire world series -this vear will not only be plaved in one town, but, for the first time in history, the classic will not even require a shift of scenery.

Lardner. it looks going to have the whole world series to itself, but the management has arranged to set aside 100 seats in the bleachers for natives. This is the second time in base ball history that the big fiasco has been held in one town. Back in 1906 the Cubs and White Sox of Chicago win their respective pennants and met in the so-called classis, the Sox being victorious as Abe ‘Attell was abroad that fall. The Cubs and Sox are clashing again this year for the championship of Chi, but it won't be EW YORK, Oct. 1.—Well necessary to bribe neither of them. The coming series is the sixth the;rouses Giants has been in, but their record is | but his size saves him. pure outside of 1905, when they beat the Athletics four games,to one. That series has never been satisfactorily exclaimed and many efforts have been made from time to time to have it played over and give McGraw's boys a chance. e o e Four or five years ago it was to be a cinch for an expert like myself to figure how a world series ‘was com- ing out. All I had to do was find out from somebody which was the Ameri- can League team. But the lively ball knocks the dope for a ghoul and pretty near every game comes out the way you thought it wouldn't and about the only clubs that have played the base ball of which they are capable this year is !hg A!:fleli_c_! and Phillies. Of course the men that makes the ball claim it ain’t no different than it ever was, but be that as it may, some of the boys that use to ask for more money when they hit a ball as far as third base on the bounce 18 now breaking up many an old ball game by popping one over the fénce and whereas they use to give you the mickname of “Home Run Dooley,” if you knocked as many as four per season, why nowdays if you don't bust one out of the park the first two times up your place at bat in the sixth innings will be took by some double jointed left hand pitcher from Brunswick, Ga. So all in all I feel like| its too risque trying to pick them and personly I am going to keep my| mouth shut till it hurts. . s e But.it can't do no harm to make a comple of remarks about the strong and weak points of the two rivals, and as pitching is generally always supposed to be the most important feature of a world series, I might begin by saying that both m&nagers can boast of pitching staffs that are air tight, like a .cattle car. More- over almost any pitcher on either club can be called on to pitch every day as the most of them only lasted two innings n:e d:y h.etou< All season long Manager McGraw and Huggins has had a game of put and take with their pitchers—put them in and take them out.
