Chicago. Oct. 2.-Plans for the
championship baseball series will be
humning here this week Ii the son
win their leagues banner. the first
game for worlds honors will probably
be played Oct. 9. While the national
commission has not yet named the day
definitely. Chairman Herman recent
ly intimated to President Murphy of
the cubs that Oct. 9 would most likely
be the start OF the big games. if the
soX win.
Arrangements for handling the
throngs of people who are coming
from every part OF the country to
see the games are already being made
at the National League grounds. OF
course, President Comiskey of the
white son hasn't begun alterations at
his park for worlds series. because
he does not know whether he will be
vitality interested in such SERIES
However. he has planned TO do GER
tain things in case his team is the
American league representative in the
post-season affair
At the West Side grounds circus
seats will be placed in front of the
clubhouse to accommodate a few
thousand fans. and. with few altera-
tons here and there. it is estimated
that $4,000 people can be accommo-
dated inside the gates.
The field will be roped off by order
of the commission, and no spectators
allowed within given distance of the
foul lines. The press stand on the
roof will be given over to the national
commission members and their
friends, and a new reporters stand
built on the ground.
As soon as the commission is able
to state definitely when the series
will begin the railroads will announce
excursions to accommodate the great
number of fans out OF the city.
Requests for seat reservations
have been coming to President MUIR
ply for six weeks. and President
Comiskey has also received a high
stack of letters bearing checks fol
box seats. Mr.. Comiskey returned all
the checks sent him. as there never
has been any certainty about his team
appearing in the worlds series.
Those received by Mr.. Murphy have
been put on file.
Where all the people who want to
see the games will be placed is more
than either of the local club presi-
dents can state. There never has
been time in recent years when
Chicago. alone, couldn't fill either
park when the right attraction was
there. But with the thousands OF
visitors planning to come here for the
games, conditions are going to be
complicated.
If the sox are as far ahead in the
race Tuesday night as they are now
President Comiskey will take chance
on the rest of the season and set about
putting his plant in shape for the re-
ception of the post-season crowds.
Secretary Fredericks will leave the
team after Tuesdays game at St.
Louis-if Chicago still leads in the
race-and return to complete the ar
rangements for the big games.
The prices for the championship
contests will be settled by the national
commission when the other conditions
are determined. In all probability the
same prices that prevailed last season
when New York and Philadelphia
fought for the title will be adopted
here. The prices a year ago were
just double the ordinary fare-$2 for
box seat, $3.50 for a grand stand
seat, 81 for general admission and so
cents for the cheapest seats.
Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the taking of moving pic
lures of the games. They will be
shown around the country next win
ter if they turn out we'll.
