sion, when the toss of coin decid-
ed that the first game for the worlds
baseball championship between Phil
adelphia, the American League
champions, and Chicago, pennant
winner OF the National League,
would be played in Philadelphia,
says an exchange of October s. A
few moments later the commission
announced that the contests would
begin at 2 p. M, Monday, October
III. IT has always been a supersti-
ton that the team winning the toss
for the first game loses the series.
For this reason, President Murphy OF
Chicago was not much downcast
when President Ben Shibe OF Phila-
delphia called the turn on half
dollar today.

follows: First game, Monday, Octo-
Der II. at Philadelphia; second

at Chicago; fourth game, Friday, DC
tober 81, at. Chicago.
In case other games are required
to settle superiority, a fifth game
will be played on October 22, after
a hurried run in a special train from
Chicago to Philadelphia. and in case
another game Is required, another
| hurried run in special train will
be made from Philadelphia to Chi
cago in time to play the sixth game
in Chicago, on Sunday, October 23.
