The proposed series between the two
time. and the interest is not confined TO
New York City. Frank Farrell has open
~ declared his willingness to pit the
Yankees against the Giants. and when
he was in Chicago some time ago he had
q conference with Mr.. Brush. in which
he pointed out that interest among the
fans was such that big crowds, in all
probability. would turn out, and that the
plavers who had worked so hard to bring
a pennant 70 New York We're deserving
Of their share Of the receipts.
Mr.. Brush derrurred at first, but
finally has agreed 10 let the Giants fight
81 out and settle the much mooted ques-
tion as to the relative merits of the two
teams.
The news from Chicago. while lacking
perhaps Official confirmation. bears out
what was published in The Tribune on
Monday that the series practically had
been agreed on Frank J Farrell, owner
Of the Yankees. could not be found last
night but in ali proba bilily he would
have been mum or the subject, as it was
suggested in the dispatch from Chicago
that formal announcement would not be
made until Mr. Brush's arrival here.
The meeting between the Yankees and
the Giants has been much desired and
keenly anticipated by the fans here
Tor some time. Efforts have been made
in The past to bring the two teams to-
Eether. but something has always stood
IN the way. The followers Of the sport
in she metropolitan district are split into
Two big factions, some contending that
the New York Giants are the stronger
and some that the Yankees are better
equipped in the way Of pitchers, fast
FEEDERS or hard hitters.
So keen is the interest that in all prob
ability the huge stands at the Polo
Grounds and American League Park
viii be packed 70 overlooking. and the
worlds championship series between
philadelphia and Chicago viii fade al
racst into fnsignifcance. At the present
time the Giants and Yankees are fight
ing hard for second place in their re-
spect i've leagues. and now that the series
! IS asa aired il is safe 70 say that they vii
fight nle harder. 50 thatsthey can go into
