the announcement made today
that "Stuffy" McInnes, the crack
first baseman of the Athletics,
and Larry Doyle, captain and star
second basemen of the Giants,
have both recovered from their in
jurles and will be seen in the
opening game of the world s
championship series. and with the
weather man promising fair, cool
weather for tomorrow, the base

enough to secure tickets are
awaiting the initial clash of the

McInnes and Doyle Will
Both Be in First Game
of the Worlds Series

Giants and Brooklyn yesterday
they closed to remain shut until
the first game of the series to-
morrow, SO no work Is being done
to-day by the players, who are on
edge for the struggle.
1t is the general opinion of fan
dom that Mathewson and Bender
will be the opposing pitchers to-
morrow. 1t Is expected that
100000 persons will seek admis-
sion to the Polo grounds.
The record receipts for a world s
championship series is $1SS, 1862
for seven games, when the Tigers
and the Pirates fought it out in
1909. 1t is expected that the re-
ceipts for the first four games this
year will exceed that sum. There
is little betting.

yesterday, the Copper Country league
leaders taking a hard hitting game by
the score of 10 to s, before record
breaking mid-week crowd.
Although at slight disadvantage
owing to the strangeness of the park,

occasion and pounded out the same
number of runs. still maintaining the
lead of one. Ekhart's first pitcher,

fifth, but the latter was found freely.
Mohawk increased the lead to two runs
in the sixth inning and added two
more in the eighth, while the best the
visitors could do was to register two
