SPORTING NOTES
AND SOX To OPEN SERIES
FOR CITY CHAMPIONSHIP OCT. 8

Presidents Comiskey and Murphy
failed to meet yesterday to settle the
details of the Chicago championship
series. Comiskey was busy saying
goodby TO 3. B. Johnson and Murphy
was doubly busy with a double-header
on the west side. so there was no meet
ing.
The national commission meets in
Cincinnati today and will appoint rep
resentatives to take charge of the SER
les, although it was stated yesterday
that Secretary Charles Williams of the
cubs and Secretary Charles Fredericks
of the sox will have entire charge.
Secretary Williams was offered charge
of the worlds championship SERIES but
refused because the cubs have been
with him for three years. and he de-
clined TO leave them in defeat.
The date of starting the series is set
tied beyond all argumsnt, as both Com
iskey and Murphy desire to open on
Friday the sth. The place of opening
is not yet settled. but probably will be
when Comiskey and Murphy meet to-
day.

The scores of the games were to /,

in favor of the sox, and 10 to 1 in favor
Of the Athletics in the second.
Stupid base running in the opener
was the cause of the defeat of the To-

outs in the ninth inning, the locals
allowed themselves to be trapped into
double play that spoiled all chances
