championship between the Detroits,
three times champions of the Ameri-
can league and the Pittsburgs, win
ncrs Of this years pennant in the Ma
tlonal league will begin tomorrow at
Forbes field i'm this city. For a week
the two leading teams of the country
will be engaged i'm a nerve -racking
contest, the gaines alternating be-
tween this city and the City of the
Straits.
Hard to Pick Winner.
Probably no series that has ever
been played in baseball will attract
the attention this one WILL and prob
ably no series, the weather being suit
able. will equal 1t i'm attendance. As
to what the series will bring forth the
fans have been keyed up to a hieti
pitch trying to convince themselves
and others why their favorite team
should win. Their conclusions have
been governed largely by the way tn ~
want the series to go. The Pittsburger
can furnish convincing reasons way
his team should capture a majority Of
the series of seven games and the
American league follower can furnish
reasons none the less logical why the
Detroit Tigers should walk off with
the rich plum. AS to the man who has
not formed an opinion who merely
wants to see the best team win and
has no particular aniliation, he thinks
one way after listening to one man
and switches his opinion after listen
ing to another. Reasons pro and con
like pendulum.
The teams will play Friday and Sat-
urday in PittsburG, Monday and Tues
day in Detroit, Wednesday i'm Pitts
burg and Thursday in Detroit. In case
II becomes necessary to play SOW
enth game, the city in which 1t is to
be- played win be determined by the
national commission. The officiating
umpires will be Frank O'Loughlin and
William @. Evans of the American
league and William KLEIN and ]. E
