EAGER FOR THE FIRST REPORTS
OF CHAMPIONSHIP RATTLE.
The Dopesters Are Now mt Work
Figuring ON the Results of the
Games.
THE SUN WILL POST RESULTS

| All eyes and ears Will turn toward
Pittsburgh Friday, strained to catch
the results of the first game of the
Pirates-Tigers great battle for the
championship in the baseball world.
Following its usual custom, The
Sun will receive and bulletin the re-
suits of the games of the entire Sc
ries BY innings, and the results, as
far as known win be published in the
issue of the day of the game.
The greatest season ever known in
professional baseball has just closed
and the series for the worlds cham.
pionship alone to be played. Good
luck has landed many pennant
while hard luck has put many team
out of the money. Managers may be
evenly matched in skill and aggres-
siveness, and yet one man will lead
winner while the other must be
content with a bad loser. It's the
fortune of war that makes baseball
the greatest game on earth. No man
can win out in the major leagues
without the goods, and many mana
gers have fallen down even with win
ming talent. Managers, however, are
blamed for the poor work OF their
teams, as results count, and the own
ers love to see a swell rake-off at
the close of the season. In fact
good financial returns viii smooth
the ruffled feelings of nine magnates
out of ten. while the tenth has little
thought of the bank roll If he could
look for the glory that comes 20 a
successful season artistically. Every
major league magnate Is building for
the future, for great clubs must SOON
er or later weaken. and the taiienders
of today may become the world beat
ers tomorrow. Every man has an
equal chance to pick up the rising
talent that must come to the front
and take the place Of the great play
lers. A three-year winner I'm success
sion is the best any major leagu
club has done since the National
League was organized in 1876
Triple Honors for Jennings.
Hugh Jennings pulled of the hon
ors this season with Detroit. and he
is the only man ever connected with
team to carry off the triple honors
Jennings was the motive power with
1.-The Baltimore three-time winners in
the '90s, but has always fallen short
when it came to the worlds series
Fred Clarke led the Pirates through
9 triple win; kept close to the top
( for three years to see Frank Chance
lcarry of the honors. Then Clarke
comes back and puts Mr.. Chance to
rout no doubt figuring on making IT
another three-times winner before
lquitting the business. The chance
lfor making II a four-time winner in
major league baseball Is now next to
impossible No team was In better
shape TO turn the trick than was the
Chicago club this season. but II could
not land the prize. although showing
staying qualities that were remark
able. The big leagues are fast grow
ling to be one-sided propositions The
strong clubs are growing stronger
with the weak clubs having a heap Of
trouble. This Is practically so in the
National League. with Pittsburgh
Chicago and New York holding the
whip hand
Done ON the Pitchers.
The wins OF both Detroit and Pitts
burgh are popular, and dopcsters are
figuring on the probable results of
the worlds championship series. De-
trolt's pitchers look stronger than
Pittsburghs, but the figures do not
bear this out. Pittsburgh has its
seven pitchers among the twenty lead
ing curve artists in the National
League, while Detroit has but two in,
