Special to the Globe
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 19.-To-
morrow is the day when Greek meets
Greek at Exposition park. The Blues
and the Millers Will lock horns with two
such great pitchers as Duke and Smith
opposing each other. The game will be
the one of lifetime in this city, and the
indications tonight are that the stand
will not hold the crowd. The Minnea-
polls team came in tonight, and are con-
tident of victory. Owing to their recent
string of victories in the Northwest,
they talk very loudly about what they
are going to do, and proclaim openly
that they expect to win all the games of
the series. They consider two victo-
ries a moral certainty. Morton says
that Hengle at third strengthens
The only weak place, and Duke just now
is pitching the game of his life. AS for
The Blues, they are ready and do not
doubt the outcome of the coming con-
test. They believe, as team, they out
class the visiting nine. and they will be
able to give practical demonstration
of this fact. Smith, who has had rest
since last Sunday. is in magnificent
form, and will pitch a game which will
give the Millers trouble to beat.
He will have behind him the full
team Of the Blues, Burns having suf-
ficiently recovered from his injury TO his
fingers to allow him to play. The
games will be umpired by McDermott.
Manning says that. while he things Mac
was rather hasty in removing him from
the game. he has no resentment against
him and thinks he will do what is right,
as he is the best umpire on the staff.
Manager Hurst. too, is satisfied, and
says that McDermott will give both
teams fair and square deal. The en-
thusiasts are worked up to the highest
mitch of the season over these pamQS
and the most noted fan; of the city has
purchased 500 TN horns and 100 duck
calls with which to rattle the Minneap-
oils team when they appear on the field.
Excursions will be run to the city from
the smaller towns in the neighborhood.
and it is estimated that the crowd will
be the largest of the season.
