The coming series, therefore, has been
rightly named the Worlds Champion
ship Series, for they will be played by
the two leading teams in the repre-
sentative base ball organizations of the
world, comprising the cream of base
ball talent. The series will consist of
seven games-hve games TO constitute a
series. The first three games will take
I place upon the Chicago grounds October
| Is, 10 and 20, and the next three upon
the Brown Stockings grounds at st.
Louis, October 81, % and %. Should
| the seventh game be necessary to de-
eide the championship, it will take place
at some point not yet decided upon, but
wherever may be mutually agreeable to
| the two clubs. Since the arrangement
for the series has been completed, Presi-
dent S, aiding has been in receipt OF
applications from many points DESTROYS
of having the seventh game take place
in the city from which The respective
applications have come. Des Moiaes,
Rock Island, Milwaukee, Cincin-
natl, Cleveland. indianapolis, ST.
Joseph and many others have
offered to guarantee big crowds, should
the clubs arrange to play one game
there. We in Chicago, however, do not
believe a seventh game will be neces-
ssry, although our people realize the
fact that the Whites are going against
very crack ball cluD, and that the
boys will have to play ball, if they want
to win. The seat of dissatisfaction In
the games between these two clubs last
year was in the WORK of the umpires,
aud this year both President Spalding
and President Won der Abe have taken
every pTecaution against a repetition of
last years difficulties, and have adopted
every means within their power to Sc
cure only efficient aid what they be-
Heve will be satisfactory umpire talent.
To this end Mr.. SpRlding has selected
from the American Association CORDS of
umpires Messrs. McQuade and Kelly,
and President Won der Abe; from the
League corps Nessrs. Quest and
Powers, the four TO constitute a
board of umpires from which the
officiating umpire will be chosen
by lot just before each game is called.
By this means it is thought that the
admirers of both teams as well as the
teams themselves will be satisfied. The
men chosen have gwen thorough sat-
isfaction IN their work during the past
season, and it is believed that their de-
cisions will be fair and impartial. With
such spirits in the field as Latham,
Bushong and Robinson on one side. and
Kelly, Williamson, Pfeffer and Arson
on the otner, those who attend the
coming series should see games full OF
dash and brilliancy of execution as well
as daring and skill. President Spald-
ing will endeaYor this week to ar
range with the Chicago & North
western, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, Illinois Central, Chicago. |
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul, Micbi- !
gan Central. Lake Shore, Plttsburg Fit |
Wayne & Chicago, Chicago & Alton |
Wabash, st. LOUIS d Pacific, the
"Monon" Route, and all other import |
ant rail lines entering Chicago for ex-
cursion rates, so that those who care to |
attend the games from the country can /
do so at comparatively small cost. /
Messrs. WoOdcock & Loring, of the
Clifton House, will, through arrange !
ments with Mr.. Spalding, extend a re
ductiOn to all excursionIsts, and iudg-
ing from the present outlook the games
Will be as largely and enthusia sticalIv
attended as any that have ever taken
place at White Stocking Park. This
may safely be anticipated, should the
beautiful Indian summer weather we
are now enjoying continue.
