CHICAGO FANS
BASEBALL
MAD NOW.
Windy City seething With En-
thusiasm as Giants Come
for Series.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Those old and
bitter enemies. the Chicago and the
New York teams of the National
League. prepared today to play the
first of a series of three games on
the West Side grounds.
More than usual interest was at
tached to the series because OF the
Chicago teams great showing in heir
eastern invasion just ended, when
they won fifteen out of eighteen
games and cut the New York teams
lead down to six games.
Johnny Evers, the Chicago second
baseman. will be replaced by Jerry
Downs, once of Detroit. Chicago fol-
lowers of the team are hopeful that
Downs, who has been playing a good
game in a utility role. will fill Eve-s's
shoes acceptably.
Marquard was scheduled to pitch
for New York and either Richie or
Lavender for Chicago.
A crowd of several hundred persons
cheered the team when 1t arrived
last night from Boston to begin a
three-game series with New York to-
day.

Johnny" Evers, the Chicago second
baseman, who was suspended for Ave
days by President Lynch because of
trouble between that player and I'm
pire Finneran at Boston, could hardly
force his way through the cheering
crowd.
Both Manager Frank Chance and
Evers denied rumors that the Chicago
team planned a strike" as a result
of Lynch's ruling. Charles Chubby"
Murphy is not doing as much talking
as usual, but he did say today: II
realize that as a league head Presi-
dent Lynch is placed in many trying
positions; but I am sorry that he
should have found 1t necessary to
mete out the penalty he did.
"The Cubs have suffered this e
from the penalties meted out to them.
I nave always looked upon Mr.. Lynch
as a credit to baseball and believe yet
that the matter may be adjusted with
fairness to ALL"
President Lynch was bombarded
with letters int kilograms last hight
by Cub fans" who demanded the
reinstatement of Evers in time for
the game today. .
