Cool Weather for
the Chicago Game

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Fears that rain
storm forecast by the United States
weather bureau would prevent the
first Western game between the Phila-
delphia American League baseball team
and the Chicago National League team
tomorrow were partly allayed tonight.
The weather bureau revised its esti-
mate made during the day and tonight
asserted that if any rain falls it will
be in the morning and probably will
not be sufficient to interfere with the
game.
Both teams expressed their conf
dence of final victory. The managers
on the other hand, were taciturn and
unwilling to make any definite state
ment. Manager Mack asserted that
he did not know what pitcher he would
have in the box tomorrow. II can't
tell who will be used in either of the
Chicago games" he declared, land 1

Despite this there is well defined

tionals and Manager Mack of Philadel-
phia may change their plans.
