Benny Berris in the semi-windup Dempse - or wan for Series in Big City BY HENRY L, FARRELL |NEw YORK, Aug. 25,—With six weeks remaining until the ma- league: reach the wire in the two pe r plans are be: ing tentative discussed for the world’s series. Closing a week later than usual, the teams will play until October 7,, and if the two New York clubs should make a new record by cop- ping three pennants in a row, the se ries probably will start on October 9, If one of the Western teams should happen to nose in and land on one nd of the perch, the championship games will start not later than Uc tober 10. The scene of the opening game and other details will not be decided | upon until Commissioner Landis and |the presidents of the two leagues meet to make final arrangements after the races are decided. It is almost safe to assume that |one end of the series will be played |in the new Yankee stadium, as Miller | Huggins has his team so far ahead | that they almost have the pennant cinched now, As long as they main. tain their present gait, the Yanks need to win only 50 per cent of their remaining games and to beat them, out the Cleveland Indians would have _ to win more than 75 per cent of the games on their schedule, Right now the Yanks are chiefly | interested in plans to win the world’s series, Huggins {s handlings his pitchers apparently with the view in. mind of having three or four of his six stars primed for the battle against the National league champions. |_ With very bitter recollections of what happened to them last fall, the Yanks are all pulling for the Giants to win the other race. The money-end of the series, of course, would mean much more if the Polo grounds had one end of the. series, but the Yanks are almost as, jeager to beat the Giants as they are to pick up the extra money, The National league race is far from being settled. The Giants still have a lead of three games, but at this late date that is a slim lead with the Reds and the Pirates camping right at their heels, John McGraw is desperately in need of good pitching and he is keeping the lead: simply because ho has a fighting team, which bats strongly enough to momentarily counterbalance the terrible deficiency in the box, SIKIWILL BE HERE TO CHALLENGE P RIS, Aug. 25.—Battling Sik will challenge the winner of the Firpo-Dempsey match, he is quoted as saying today in an inter. view in Cherbourg, before he sailed for New York, “T want to see the fight betweon |the big Argentine and Dempsey,” |Siki said, “and I'l challenge the” winner, I'd like to get a fight i America with the champion of the world or Harry Wills, “I'm serious now,” Siki continued, “and am thinking only of boxing, The newspapers exaggerated reports of my exploits {in the Monte Martre.
