SOME SIDELIGHTS TOSSED ON SERIES
FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

New York, October 9.-(Special)- There
is much interest manifested here in the
coming world championship series. Many
New York fans and sportsmen who adj
mire live contests of any kind contemplate
going to see a game or two, if not the
whole series.
Why the date for the opening of the
worlds championship series should be
the subject of acrimonious discussion is
not apparent.
The mistake, if one was made. was
drawn, which provided that the games of
the older association would not end until
October Is.
1t was stated at the time that this
schedule was due in part to the parti-
san rivalry arising from the deadlock
among the supporters of John NJ Ward
and John Heydler, which resulted in the
election of Thomas ]. Lynch as presi-
dent.
Probably fan cares on what par
ticular day the series begins, just, so
one Sunday game is played in Chicago.
Those who stop to think would like to
have that Sunday game one of the first
four, so the players might participate in
the receipts. for after four games the
players no longer have any interest in
the gate money But the relative strength
of the teams and the disposition of the
worlds title are far more interesting
than any consideration of politics or
gate receipts.

will be factor in the worlds series, and
he will, but it is not likely that Chance
will rely too much on him. The main
stay will be either Brown or Reulbach.

noted for their GOODNESS. Overall would

teams. He had charge of the Columbus

seasons, and in three he won pennants
and also made the team financially sue

Wilkesbarre team. of which he is part
owner. and besides winning a pennant
the team cleared some $4,000 for its
owners.
1T is the big return on investment that

of Chicago have earned $250,000 for their

The success of Philadelphia, while pre-
dicted by a few early in the season, has
not been without severe contest. Steady
winning baseball throughout the whole
season, however gave them a lead a
month ago that assured them the PEN
nant.
Interest in the race was at fever heat
until the leadership was settled in Sep
TENDER. Then all the clubs but Philadel-
phia ran into a season of hard luck.
Tyrus Cobb was lost to Detroit for
while, owing to trouble with one of his
eyes.
Trouble over the managerial problem IL
connected with costing the New York
club numerous games. Part of the team
stood for Hal Chase, while the other half
stood for Stallings This trouble was
ended when Stallings' connection with the
club was severed.
The second division squad came through
the season in much the same order.
Cleveland fifth, Chicago sixth. Washing
ton seventh and st. Louis eighth. The
Washington team, headed by the pitch
ing of Walter johnson. gave the Chicago
team a hard battle for sixth place until
the closing days of the fight.

and repeated experiments by Manager

position but the last.
