Monday Will Mark Climax of
Professional Baseball Season
in America in 1910.


Philadelphia, oct. 15-The climax
of the professional baseball season is
at hand, The series for the worlds
Championship between the Chicagos,
the premier club of the National
League and the Philadelphias. win
nens of this years penrsllt in the Am ;
erican League will begin Monday af-
ternoon in this city. Nearly the en-
tire. week. the two leading teams of the
country will be engaged in a nerve
racking grapple, the games being divi-
ded equally between this city and the
Western metropolis.
The series will be played off i'm the
following manner; First game, Mon
day, at philadelphia: second game,
Tuesday. at Philadelphia third game,
Thursday, at Chicago; fourth game,
Friday at Chicago. In case other games
are required to settle the supremacy
a fifth game will be played Saturday,
after a hurried run i'm a special train
from Chicago To Philadelphia. and in
case another game is required another
fast run i'm special train will be
made from Philadelphia to Chicago in
time 10 play the sixth game in the
Windy City on Sunday. II the series
should not be completed by this time
the place of playing the seventh game
will be determined by the toss of a
coin.
Record Attendance Expected.
Probably no series that has ever
been played i'm baseball will attract
the attention this one will, and prob
ably no series, the weather being suit
able, will equal IL i'm attendance. AS
to what the series will bring forth the
cranks and the partisans have been
keyed up to a high pitch trying to
convince themselves and others why
their favorite team should win.
One interesting and important fea-
ture i'm connection with the series this
year is the facet that IL is a meeting
of a team of veterans. who have won
four league pennants and two worlds
championships i'm five years and a
team of youngsters and veterans who
under the masterful guidance of one of
the cleverest leaders the game has
ever produced, have been developed
into a pennant winner In two years.
Athletics are New Team.
The Philadelphians this year are
practically a new team TO the one
which brought the league pennant to
this city five years ago. The infield
contains only one veteran, Harry Da-
Wis, who was on the team I'm 1905,
while the outfield is a mixture of vet
Grams and youngsters. The battery de-
partment. which is almost sure to play
principal part in deciding the worlds
series, is almost entirely new.
In contrast to the Athletics the
Chicagos present the same team that
has represented the Windy City In the
National League i'm the past five years
nants and two worlds championships
in that period.
The players Of the contesting clubs
will have a mighty juicy financial
melon to slice after the conclusion OF
the series II is predicted that near
ly 100000 may be divided among the
forty-six players who are eligible to
share in the receipts AS proof of the
marvellous strides that the national
game has made in popular favor IL is
only necessary to recall the fact that
I'm the first worlds series In 1884, when
the Providence team of the National
League and the old Metropolitans of
the American Association played for
the championship flag, the total at
tendance was less than 5000 and the
Providence team received less than
81 900 for winning the series
