COMING WORLDS SERIES
 TO BE GREATEST EVER
WhoeverIWns the Fans Will Sc SteI-
 lar Baseball and Record Crowds.

One prediction can be safely ven tured at this time, and that is the worlds series of 1911 will surpass in interest any ever played previously, no matter which teams win the pen nants in the American and National leagues. The terrific fights in both baseball organizations for the cham plonship have keyed the. fans up to a sixty horsepower pitch of excitement Tn at least seven major league cities, title Is bound to reap the benefits.
 At present it looks like a 10 to bet that Connie Mack's Athletics will represent the American reague in the battle next October. Who will repre- sent the National league is mooted the winner of the pennant in the sen 1or baseball organization would be gambling with fate. But, granting that the Nackmen are pretty sure winners, let's look the field over.
 Chicago last year met the Athletics in the worlds series a 3 to 1 favorite in many circles. The men who fought for Connie Mack made the Cubs look pad, winning four of five games play ed It was a surprise and a shock to Chicagoans But they have not for gotten. Nor have they been convinced
 
 building was working smoothly. In Chicago they expect that another se- ries would result differ ently. Under the circumstances, if the Athletics and Chicago meet. the interest and excite ment will be much greater than last fall.
 Suppose Pittsburg wins the National league flag. A series with the Athletics would be a fight not only for the worlds championship but for the Pennsylvania, state title. A man in the Smoky City said last week that al- ready the fans were planning for special trains to go to Philadelphia to witness the games at Shfbe park. Ow- ing to the easy Knight ride between the two cities. attendance figures shoula be smashed to smith-r-ens if it is between the two Pennsylvania cities.
 And if New York should be the op- ponent of the Athletics. Gracious. Philadelphians have rot forgotten the drubbing sMaggsy" McGraw's Giants handed the Mackmen in 19o5.< They are hoping New York will be the Ma tional league contender, so that Connie Mack and his crew get back at the Giants. The short ride between the two cities would also be a factor in making the series wonderful sue cess.
 Then take the Phillies-Dooin's Hopes are still in the National league race-it is unnecessary to say any more. For the sentiment is so divided in Philadelphia that series of games for the worlds title and the city championship at the same time would suspend business in professional life, factory and store. The sole topic of conversation in the Quaker city would be the Athletics and the Phillies.
 St. Louis is experiencing a new sen- sation in having a winning club, and if Rajah BresEahan's boys are the con- tenders in the worlds series, the park will have to be enlarged to twice its present capacity to hold the fans" Even if Detroit wins the American leagne flag, the interest with be keen more keen than in previous years and from any old angle the 1911 world, series is going to be the biggest and most spectacular ever played. The struggle in the two leagues have made baseball the all absorbing topic, and even now the big contest in the fall is anxiously awaited.
