Il before the opening of the battle for the worlds championship finds both the Detroit American League team and the Chicago National League team in excellent condition, and filled with con- 1 fidence.
 Every indication tonight is that the opening of the series at Bennett Park tomorrow afternoon will be under the most suspicious circumstances. Base- | ball enthusiasm Is at an intense pilcs in the city. and baseball Is practically the sole topic of conversation in all public places. Bennett Park is in perfect condition. and indications are that 1t will be filled with a record breaking crowd when play is called at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 The Chicago team, sixteen men strong, in addition to President Mur. phy, Secretary Williams, and a num- Der of newspaper men, arrived from New York this afternoon. All except Captain Manager Frank Chance are in perfect condition for the game to- morrow Captain Chance was struck in the throat by rowdy while leav- in New York, and the blow injured a cartilage in his throat and affected his vocal cords so that he can barely speak above a whisper tonight. While annoying, the injury will not prevent the Chicago leader from playing. Pitchers Brown and Pfeister were also buffeted about in the attack on the Chicago players after the game yester- day but did not receive serious hurts.
 '"The boys are in fine shape" said Captain Chance tonight, "and feel confident that we can win another worlds series from the Detroit Tigers. However. I am not looking for any such victory as we had last year. De- troit's team Is too great to suffer de. feat again. But we feel that we can beat them. Either Overall or Reul- bach will open the series tomorrow af- ternoon. probably Reulbach, if he warns up well !"
 Manager Hugh Jennings had his American League champions at Ben- nett Park all morning giving them their final practice for the first game. Tonight he said that his entire team was in satisfactory shape. He said of Shorstop OLeary, who has been out of the game for several weeks. that his injured thumb Is well enough so that 1t will not trouble him seriously tomorrow. Catcher Schmidt has a bad finger. but 1t will not keep him out of the game.
 '"The pitching choice for tomorrow lies between Killian and Donovan" said Manager Jennings, this evening, with the probabilities favoring Xiii. Han. We are going into the fight for the worlds championship filled with confidence. Our last game with the Chicago American League team which gave us the championship of our League, showed me that I still have the gamest and greatest team in mod-s ern baseball"
 seat sale was opened this morning at Bennett Park. every reserved seat for Saturdays game was sold and there were still hundreds of men in line waiting to secure the coveted admis- sions.
 Circus seats which will accommodate 1O000 spectators arrived at Bennett Park today from Chicago and a large force of carpenters put them in place this afternoon. President F. J. Navin stated tonight that he will have seats for from 1S0 to 10000 people tonor- row ard that the demand for the tick. cts indicated that they will all be filled.
 Weather predictions tonight are for snlendid baseball weather tomorrow, with a, bright sun to temper the crisp autumn air.

 e,,rcIunati. Oct. 9.-The members Of +bs National Baseball Commission lett at noon today for Detroit to attend Inc opening game of the worlds cham nionship series, which begins there tomorrow afternoon. NO stateHeht nonncement of the conditions govern inc the contest was given out. but President Pulliam, in an interview. talked entertainingly of the champion ship race. He said:
 it was the greatest race in the his- tory of baseball, and the best team undoubtedly won. But there was great glory for other teams besides the winners in the battles that were fought right down to the last day.
 "All the honor should go to the New York team for the gallant fight they made to bring the flag to Gotham.
 "With practically only two depend able pitchers they fought their way from a lowly position to the leadership in the race, holding that place for a long time by a display of gameness and baseball ability that has rarely, if ever, been equalled in baseball.
 "Pittsburg. too. deserves the limit of praise for the fight made by It's representatives in the National League.
 "As for the Chicagos, they are a great, game. able team. No team In the land suffered more true accidents and illness during the season than the Cubs. Yet they were never discour- aged hut were always fighting among the leaders.
 50 far as the National League race was concerned, 1t was the greatest, cleanest baseball fight in the history of our organization. The matter of the disputed game between the Giants and the Cubs Is to be greatly deplored, of course. but it was settled in the only honorable way that could be devised. |"
