NOTES OF THE GAME.
NATIONAL

Chicago. H., Oct u.-When the fans
I arose this morning they found the same
weather conditions that prevailed early
yesterday. The sun shone pleasantly and
! there was Just enough chilliness TO give
pedestrians that hUrry-along feeling.
Jack Taylor is anxious 10 get into the
game for the Cubs. and should it warm
up little. viii get chance.
The attendance has not been up TO ex-
Ipectations. though plenty OF people have
appeared at the parks. Both managers
expected crowds of about thirty thou
sand, and so far less than half that mum
Der have been officially tabled on the
games. The weather. Of course. is respon-
sible.
Garry Hermann, president Of the na-
tional commission, has received from
Denver an offer of $4,000 for the seventh
game OF the worlds championship. The
message reads: IN case d seventh game
/ is necessary TO decide the worlds baseball
championship Denver guarantees $4,000
If PLAYED in this city. Weather perfect
for ball playing" Hermann returned
thanks, but said the national commission
only has authority 10 change the dates
a most surprising feature Of the series
is the all-around frst-ciass playing Of sub
stitute player Robe. This youngster nEed
in during the season. and when Lee Tan
nenill was out of the last several games
of the championship season, Robe got a
chance 10 steady himself for an emergen-
cy in the worlds series With George
Davis laid up, Rohe's chance came. He
was put on third base and TannehiI
moved over 10 shOTtstOp. The c0rnbina-
tion has worked beautifully Robe broke
up the first game with his bat. and to-day
he brought in every run with his three
base drive into the crowd. Comiskey
should have something nice TO say to this
boy when it's all over. Winning two
games is u remarkable feat for Rche.
Dr. White is panied that the spell Of
cold weather came just at the time when
he wanted to do so much for his club.
but as the weather is likely 10 moderate
considerably in a day or two, the dentist
may yet get chance to hang q scalp on
his belt
Hahn got a terrible blow on the face
from one of Pfeister's shoots. breaking
4 his nose. He will be out of the remaining
games. which win give the former Wash
ingJon outfelder, Tip" O'Neil, a chance
to get in the limelight.
Walsh struck Tinker out. The latter has
been doing some good batting for the
Cubs

ling plays. This Cub goes right after
everything, and it must be a hard one that
he does not gather in.
The betting has changed again, and even
though the Cubs win tomorrow, the
chances should be regarded as even.
Jones team is fooling those who picked
the Cubs as easy winners of the series.
Tinker tried TO move up to third on a
fly 10 Fielder Jones, but he was cut down
by an accurate throw by the White Sox
manager.
Players do not figure in the gate receipts
after to-morrow's game. Cold weather
has robbed them Of one-third of what
they probably would have received.
The SOx have won two games in three.
and Robe Won them both with long three
baggers. Each of his drives landed in the
same spot under the left field bleachers.
Sheckard has been a mark at the bat
so far in the big series. and all the pitch
eTs have been tanning him.
The SOx viii alternate Walsh and Alt
rock right along. Altrock viii work Fri
day, and expects to win with ease.
Walsh's speed was something terrific
Toward the last, the Cubs simply walked
up. famed and walked away
