Worlds Series Dope

Chicago. October 6.-Final arrangements for the post season series between the Cubs and White Sox, scheduled to open Friday, october B. is expected to be the signal for speculation regarding the rela- tive merits of two teams involved. That there is great interest even now be- tween the respective factions is evidenced by the early demand for seats.
 Starting on the above dates gives ,he Cubs the chance to jump right from their regular season into the city battles. They will finish the season in Cincinnati on Thursday and will return here that night to lock horns with Comiskeys American league Athletics. The White Sox, on the other hand, will close the season on Sun day so will have four days in which to remain in condition. So as to have the team edge, Manager Duffy will stas- games each day between picked teams from his squad The Cubs have been puzzled by spit ball pitchers and Comis- key claims four of this variety namely, Walsh, Scott, Benz and Hovlik.
 The Cubs, however, are not going to waste any available strength. Manager Chance said that he had put Evers back in the game with the hope of having him in trim for the city series. Cheney, the Louisville pitcher, is also being groomed, having worked yesterday for the first time since his little finger was broken in his initial game in Cub uni form.

the greatest execution. Each aggrega- tion has two excellent hingers-New York, Mathewson and Marquard; Phila- delphIa, Bender and Coombs. Therefore. everything considered, the games should be brilliantly contested, and it should re- uure the seventh to determine the vic torious aggregation.
 It would cause little surprise were the impending worlds championship series to prove a greater financial success than all predecessors. This Is due to the fact that each team is a great one, that the TWO on paper are as nearly evenly balanced as one could desire, and that New Aork and Philadelp phia are so near each other that railroad trip of two hours will put a Quaker in Gotham or Gothamite Tn Quakerville in a couple of hours. The schedule. arranged so that the games Will be played alternately in the two cities, will work another advantage Tn hettlhg a mountain of shelSels
 The entire baseball world is awaiting the clash. With the fans throughout the country, the teams are equally popular, and the following of one is equal to that of the other. on account of their sue cess last season it is probable that with those who bet, the Athletics will be the favorites. But this spells absolutely noth- ing. nor is to be reckoned with the straws which tell the direction of the wind, the prediction of MT. Chesterfield Nenable that the men of Mack will conquer. MT. George Griffith. who has lost his last three world championship wagers, is strong for the Giants This does not necessarily mean that the Giants will win. B. A.

 The game Saturday will give some idea of Alabama's strength as compared to Vanderbilt Although the Crimson-White does not profess to have as good a team as the Commodores, yet there is one statement that Vanderbilter made after the Vanderbilt -Owenton game that the Crimson packers don't believe, and that is that anybody who could hold Wander bilt scoreless in the third quarter had Alabama bottled up. The Alaban1ians don't believe that they are bottled up until it's done, and if fighting spirit has anything to do with it, it's going to be a mighty hard thing to do.

SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

The blue ribbon event of the baseball world will begin one week from this afternoon. The Giants and the Athletics will meet in New York.
 As we have intimated before, 1t Is our belief that the Athletics compose the strongest team in the American, and the Giants the strongest team in the Ma ional league. It was, therefore fitting that each should win the pennant, It IS not always the case, we should have ada ed, parenthetically, that the strongest team wins the bunting. We believe that New York was stronger than Chicago in that good season in which Merkle's mo- torious stunt at second base gave the banner to the Cubs.
 We believe that the National league is a stronger aggregation this season than inc American, and that the Giants have had more hard nuts to crack than the Athletics. On the other hand, the Ath- letics from a miserable start overcame a 14 game lead acquired by the Detroit Ti- gers-this being one of the most remark able performances, to our mind, in the history of baseball.
 So. in comparing the work of the clubs fin their respective leagues, it is apparent that neither has an advantage over the other Each team, furthermore, is strong enough to win worlds championship over the other as a result of pitching; by which is meant, that the verdict will go to the team the pitchers of which do

University, October 6.-(Special)- Graves has been busy during the past week putting his team through hard prae- tce and rounding them into shape to meet Birmingham college on the campus Saturday. The practice has consisted mostly of scrubbing and running signals. and since there are two teams on the field that are nearly on a par the scrub ping has been of the best sort. One strong point that the Alabamians have devel- oped this year is their interference, and the coach is working all the time to improve it. In the Howard game the work of the two Van de Graaffs and some of the line men, especially Kellar, was almost perfect.
 Baumgartner has been shifted from half to end and is showing up well Harsh has been promoted from full on the scrubs and allowed to take his place at half on varsity.
