ON THE EVE OF WORLD'S SERIES Stage is Set for Dramatic Climax of 1917 Baseball Season—: Never in History of World’s Series'Has There Been Such ‘Weather—Speculators Unable to Meet Demand for NOTH(NC Tickets. —_— HEAR WORLD’S SERIES GAMES BY MEGAPHONE As customary, all details of the World’s Series Baseball Games will be announced by megaphone from The Buetin office window each afternoon (except Sunday). What's going on bvery minute of the game will be flashed to The Bullstin from Chicago and New York ball parks. The Sunday game will be bul- letined in the window. Returns wi start to come shortly after 3 o'clock. Chicago, Oct. calaron of baseball is aboll here tonight on the eve of the world's series between Chi- cago Amegican and the New .York Na- tional League clubs. Every ingredient necessary for the best spectacular struggle of recent years has heen con. tributed by clubs, players and fan: If the weather man donates a day in keeping with the importance of the oc- casion, the opening game of the series, at Corniskey park tomorrow should re- sult in a battle which will equal in brilliance, tenseness and enthusiasm that of vivid diamond fiction.. Stage is Set. Players. magnates, ticket speculators and fans from the four corners of the country have been gathering on the shores of Lake Michigan for several days, and the stage is set for what is expected to be a dramatic climax to_the baseball season of 1917. To the cities concarned, especially Chicago as the scene of the opening conflict, the impending battle between the White Sox and the Glants is of paramount importance. It is the basis and source of unlimited controversy. The coming contest has been argued from every conceivable angle without ihe partisans of the two teams E ing on any one feature of the- play or the result. There is but one dea in common be- tween the two rival camps of rooters, and that is the desire for fair weather ‘when ithe clans of Rowland a%d Mc- Graw appear on the diamond eager for the test of baseball ekill and nerve. ‘What the morrow holds for the fan and player in this respect it is hard to forecast tonight. The weather pre- diction for Saturday is fair and cool, but after a day of rain squalls and high gales darkness settled over the city with sulics gray clouds and No- vember-like winds' sweeping across the sky and along the city streets. Comiskey Not Worrled. 3 President Comiskey apparently was not worrled by the indifferent support of the local weather man, however, for he plaves reliance in a liftle pocket al- manac which states the weather for the bpening game of the world's se- ries will be fair. This bit of information was given by the “Old Roman” in the course of a “fanning bee” in one of the offices at ‘White Sox park today. For vears the president of the American League champlons has relied on the accuracy of the almanac. When special days ‘were givon at the park, such as Frank Chance day, in honor of the former Chicago National League idol, who came here as manager of the ~New Work Yankees, the little book said “Clear and Warm,” and wherf a day was set aside for Ed Walsh last vear the little book was again consulted for 2 date promising favorable conditions. In this case also the weather ws all that could be asked. Hoping For Good Weather. The fans tonjght are praying to the gods of baseballe that Comiskey’s al- manac may prove as reliable as here- tofore, for the postponement, even for a day, of the opening game would up- set schedule plans and arrangements, not ‘only of the plavers but thousands of supporters of the rival clubs and pumerogs non_partisan spectators who have tr¥veled hundreds of miles to see the first class of western and eastern major league pennant winners. From far points in all sections of the country these thirty-third degree baseball fans have come to witness What they confidently predict will be Harddigs vs. N. L. Independents. The Harddig Athletic club eleven Till play the fast Independents of New London at Mohegan park Sunday fternoon. This is a good chance for football fans to see Sunday games. The Harddigs expect to have some fast teams here before the seaSon ends and hope to show the public some good games. The Harddigs have a game booked with the Lowel Tigers in Loweil for Thanksgiving day. They would aleo like to hear from any fast team in the vicinity. The lineup is as follows: S. Hrssey le. J.

New York, Oct. 5.—Stocks reversed their recent course today after an early period of indication in which some specialties made further material re- cessions. _ The rally, which seemed to proceed from a combination of sub- stantial support and short covering, embraced many active issues, but was most effectige in the investment divi- sions. N s Interests committed to the construc- tive side of the market professed to derive much encoyragement from the cxpected early adjournment of con- sress and an added factor of favorable mport was found in the indications of a_ further relaxation of money rates. The suggestion of the local federal re- serve board to limit 10ans on commer- cial paper to four months was in_line with_the attitude of the main body in_Washington. Rails rebounded 1 to 4 points, the Pacifics, Reading, New York Central and St. Paul reflecting an especial in- quiry. Low grade western and.south- western issues, as wel: - as coalers, kept pace with this movement, though in_minor measure. ~ Industrials_were irregularly respon stve, U. S. Steel assuming its accus tomed place of prominence on the rise from 105 3-4, yesterday's low quota- tion, to 108 1-2, and closing at 108 3- 8, a net gain of 2 1-2. There was further liquidation of Bethlehem Steels, Midvale Steel, Colo- rado Fuel, ofls, tobaccos and utilities, but in general those stocks retrieved much or all of their early reversal on the free buying of the final hour. Sales amounted to 770,000 shares. International bonds, including the French municipals, were heavy, other war floatations showing a lower trend on wider distributiyn. Domfestic is- sues were irregular, the Liberty 3 1-2's warying from 99.76 to 99.82. Total sales (par value) aggregated $3,475,- 000. U.
