SERIES OPEN- Cincinnatai, Ohio. Sept. 22.—Cin- for the first time in its his. as a National League city, Will on Wednesday, October 1, witness the opening game of the series to decide the champlonship of the world be- iween the Cincinnati Reds, winners of the Natiqna! League pennant, and the Chicago White Sgx, the prospec- tive winners of the American League pennant. Chicago has not yet cinched the flag in the junior organizatien, but the National Commission made its ar- rangements on the theory that it was cit almost impossible for Cleveland, the runner up, to nose out Comiskey’s club. All games are scheduled to start at 2.30 p. m. The “decision to open the baseball classic in Cincinnati was decided on the toss of a coln by Louis Comiskey, son of the owner of the Chicago clui August Herrmann, president of the Reds, called “heads” and won. At frst it was announced that Herr- man had lost, but after examining the coin, one of the new half dollars, louis Comiskey said he was mistaken and Mr. Herrmann had won. The teams wiil play the first two games in this city and the next three will be played in Chicago. The clubs then jump back to Cincinnati for games six and seven, if this is neces- sarv. and before the - eighth game, which will be piaved in Chicago, it will be decided by lot where the ninth zame should be contested should the serjes stretch out to this length. The schedule as drawn, &m for cantinuous plaving on each day, weather permit- ting The umpires who will officiate in the series are William Evans and R. F.

The books of our league are always ready for in- spection at anytime.” It was announced that President Menocal of Cuba had wired that he was on his way here to attend the COMISKY IS SATISFIED WITH ARRANGEMENTS Chicago, Sept. 22.—Arrangements for conducting the world’s stries, made at the meeting of the National Baseball Commission in Cincinnati today, are highly satisfactory to Charles A. Com- iskey, president of the Chicago Amer- icans. “Playing two games in Cincinnati and then coming here for three is all right as far as I am concerned,” President Comiskey said. “If we had won the toss for the opening games it would have been all the same to me.” Approximately 20,000 applications for world’s series tickets have piled up at the White Sox park and must be returned to the senders, as the re- served and box seats have been sold There has been the usual protest from disappointed avplicants in the method of awarding the tickets, but officials explained there was no other course to pursue. The pennant race in the American League cannot be settled before Wed- nesday as neither Chicago nor Cleve- land plays until that day. Chicago has five games remaining. The percent- age figures show that if the White Sox win one or Cleveland loses one Chi- cago will win the pennant. If Chicago loses all five of its games, and Cleve- land wins four the flag will go to Cleveland. ~ The Cleveland club ré- duced Chicago’s lead to four games yesterday by winning from Washing- DANIELSON BOWLERS READY FOR ALL COMERS The Danielson bowling team known as the Bang Ups. will meet Taftville, either in Taftville or at Danielson, on a date that both sides may agree on and that the Danielson team will roll them for a $25 side bet.

Mulvihill said the bout would be held in this state on Thanks- ziving day. PROSPECTS FOR STRONG BROWN TEAM BRIGHT Football prospects at Brown uni- versity are considered most encourag- ing by coaches Edward K. Robinson, Buck Whittemore and Archie Hahn. including several members of the 1916 Ten letter men already have reported, | eleven which defeated Harvard and Yale on successive Saturdays.

A merry Zight is developing for the position of field general on the team. Coulter would naturally have ithe first call, as he has had varsity experience, but, on the other hand, Samson, who, is a New York boy, was one of the finest plavers in the east last fall. Samson weighs only 145 pounds, which may count against him in the hard schedule ahead eof the team. PBddie Murphy is also being developed by the coaches. He S formerly a halfback, but is showing considerable ability at the quarter- back position.

The former wae also a leter man on the 1816 elev- len. Jemail, the running mate to Pol- [lard at halfback in 1916, has also re- |turned. He has been in the service, | being now on the inactive service list of the regular navy. Pieri, Moody and Greene, members of last fall's S. A. T. C. team, are trying out for posi- tions too. Albright and Williams, the star ends of he 1917 team, are showing their usual form, but they will meet harq competition from Brisk and Mc- Sweeney Brisk was on the team last year, while McSweeney was a substi- tute on_the 1916 team. Guards and tackles are being inter- changed in a most lisconcerting man- ner. Nichols, Sinclair, Peterson, La- throp, Edeson, . Taylor and Riker are among the veterans trying out for the positions.Nickols and Sinclair were the tackles on the 1917 team. Lathrop who was a_substitute on the 1914 team, stands an - exceptionally good chance of filling in at the other tackle position. Hoving, a New York stu- dent, has the call_over Black for the center position. He has two years’ experience on varsity teams.

You never tasted such full- bodied mellow-mildness; such refreshing, appetizing flavor and coolness. The more Camels you smoke the greater becomes your delight—Camels are such a ciga- rette revelation! Everything about Camels you find so fascinating is due to their quality—to the expert blend of choice Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos. You'll say Camels are in a class by themselves—they seem made to meet your own personal taste in so many ways! Freedom from any unpleasant cigaretty after-taste or un- pleasant cigaretty odor makes Camels particularly desirable to the most fastidious smokers. And, you smoke Camels as liberally as meets your own wishes, for they never tire your taste! You are always keen for the cigarette satisfaction that makes Camels so attractive. Smokers real- ize that the value is in the cigarettes and do not expect premiums or cou- pons! Compare Camels with any ciga- rette in the world at any price ! Camels are sold everywhere in scientifically geaied packages of 20 cigarsttes or fen pack- ages (200 cigarettes) in a glassine-paper- covered carton. We strongly recommend this carton for the home or office supply or when you travel. R.J.REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C. POETRY THE PARTNER.

Hollyrood Naomi has, however, plenty of company. At Cleveland the judges called me into the stand and asked why I did not ‘make a better showing against Mig- nola after he had trotted a last qur- ter in thirty seconds. I had to come from behind and trotted the quarter in twenty-nine and a half seconds to catch him -while he was going com- fortable even.at ‘that clip.
