ly noon there We're $500 men and women
lined up at the gates awaiting their open

the time for the beginning of the game
approached. Good humor prevailed ON all
sides, and there We're as many American
rooters as there Were National fans.

no hitch in any department. Expert ticket
dispensers We're employed and the way
they took IN money ana handed out adj
mission tickets was a sight in itself. In
fact before 1870 the right field bleachers

filled to its capacity. Similar conditions
were noticeable in the left field bleachers
occupied by friends of the American team.

Booters joined in and it was one gr.nd
chorus. Every member of the American
team was robed in a new suit from stock

Nationals win Win IL
Should both teams play at their top
speed and all the pitchers work at their
best TIE Nationals should win tho series by
almost straight games. But there are in
dieations that the Cub PITCHERS are nos AZ
Their best. while the Sox have three great
boz artists ready to so N and do their
grandest work.
In batting the Cubs are away ahead OF
the records. But it must be remembered
that the two tea1ns did not bat against the
same lot of pitchers. On the bases the
Cubs aave a slight advantage. III fielding

Many of the soX supporters bank their
hopes ON the pitching staff. But when
anybody thinks that the Nationals haven't

no three twirlers who are quite equal to
them.
The backstop department of each team
is strong. John Killing, of the Nationals. IS
considered by many to be the greatest
catcher in the world. Billy Sullivan of the
Americans, IS also a great catcher, and

There is not much advantage with either
team 80 far as the infield goes.
Chance is a better man than Donohue.
He is a better batter and base runner and
just as good a fielder.
At second Eyers and Isbell are about a
4 standoff. Isbell is the better batter and

brilliant a fielder as Davis. of the Sox,

of the best base ball heads in the business.

In the outfield the Cubs have n great

behind. Sheckard is a better man than

sidered. Jones is more valuable than eth

Which ever team wins there will be a
grand battle.
