OTWITHSTANDING the tradl- tional pledge of secrecy which prevents the National Commis- sion from announcing arrangements for the World's Series until the pen- nant has been cinched in both leagues it is understood that a majority of the members favor opentng on Saturday, Oct. 9. The majority of the Commis- sion being made up of National League men—Gov, Tener and Garry Herrmann—makes it all the more cer- the Phillies to win, and it is believed that Moran will have a dectded ad-| vantage by a Saturday opening, It will also be advantageous from 4 financial point of view, provided th game is played in Boston where th Braves field seats 47,000 people. There is a rule which says a coin must be! toswed to decide on the park for the opening, but with many thousands of, dollars hanging in the balance tt may not be difficult to manipulate the said coin just a trifle, Especially so when it will ake no particular difference in the result, each city getting two games at a time until the champion- ship is decided, Hub Perdue, who got away from the Boston Braves at his own request and joined the Cardinals only to seo his former teammates win the pennant! and the World’s Series, will now have to share the honors of being the hard- | est luck “guy” in baseball with Sher- wood Magee of the Braves. Last year when Stallings wanted to brace up his team he thought of the hard-hitting Magee and Sherwood jumped at tho chance to get with a pennant winner, He was the oldest player on the Philadelphia team and on one occa- sion led the National League in hit- ting. It now turns out that in going with the Braves Magee jumped right away from @ pennant winner to join hands with @ loser, and his long career as a hard hitter goes for naught, After nine years of patient toil to be with a champion he finds himself out of the limelight and minus the fat roll that goes with a world’s series, Tough luck! On the other hand, Al Demaree and Milton Stock, after being with the Giants as pennant winners, were let out just in time to land with the new champions and escape the stigma of Vashon mila’ ph RDAY'S GAMES. ii Louis, 8 iedel phia, Boston at Washington, St, Louls at Chicago, EST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK {no THEIR MEMORABLE BATTLE * Au evidence the Natior Holiare.
