NOW FOR WORLDS
CHAMPIONSHIP
Chicago and Philadelphia
Will Begin the Series
Next Monday.

| Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 15.-The
climax of the professional baseball
season is at hand The series fol
the worlds championship between
the Chicagos, the premier club of the
National League, and the Philadel-
phians, winners of this years pen
nant in the American League, will
begin Monday afternoon in this city
Nearly the entire week the two lead
ing teams of the country will be en-
gagged in a nerve racking grapple
the games being divided equally be-
tween this city and the vestern me-
/ tropolis.
The series will be played off in
| the following manner: First game,
Monday 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 hur-
ried run in a special train from Chi
cago to Philadelphia, and in case an
| other game is required another fast
run in special train will be made
from Philadelphia to Chicago in
time to play the sixth game in the
Windy City on Sunday. If the SER
les should not be completed by this
time the place of playing the sew
enth game will be determined by
the toss of coin.
Probably no series that has ever
been played in baseball will attract
the attention this one will, and prob
ably no series, the weather being
suitable, will equal it in attendance.
AS to what the series will bring forth
the cranks and the partisans have
been keyed up to high pitch trying
to convince themselves and others
why their favorite team should win
One interesting and important fea-
ture in connection with the series
this year is the fact that it is a meet
ing of a team of veterans, who have
won four league pennants and two
worlds championships in five years,
and a team of youngsters and veter-
ants who, under the masterful guild
ance of one of the cleverest leaders
the game has ever produced, have
been develop cd into pennant w;nne.'
in two years.
The Philadelphias this year are
| practically new team to the old one
which brought the league pennant to
this city five years ago. The infield
contains only one veteran, Harry
Davis, who was on the team in 1905.
lille the outfield is mixture of
veterans and youngsters. The bat
| terry department, which is almost
sure to play a principal part in de-
Gliding the worlds series, is almost
entirely new.
In contrast to the Athletics the
ChicagOs present practically the
same team that has represented the
Windy City in the National League
in the past five years and which has
won four remnants and two world S
championships in that period.
The players of the two contesting
clubs will have mighty juicy finan-
cial melon to slice after the conclus-
ion of the series. 1t is predicted that
nearly 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 pop
ular favor it is only necessary to re-
call the fact that in 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 champion
ship flag, the total attendance was
less than 5000 and the Providence
team received less than $1,000 for
winning the series.
