CHAMPIONS IN PINK CONDITION
 FOR OPENING OF BIG SERIES

New York, October 4.-Closing of the major league baseball season in the east tomorrow will find the two cham pionship teams in the pink of physical condition for the world series with the exception of two minor injuries which have placed some of the Boston en- thusiasts on the anxious seat.
 Fear that Captain Doyle of the Giants might not be able to play at his best because an ankle was slightly spiked yesterday, is groundless. Doyle played throughout today's game in usual form. All the other men in the Giants camp are ready for the fray.
 Possibility of either Gardner or Car rigan of Boston being kept out of the games had had a slight effect in bet ting odds here, evening up the wagers

 With the trial of. Marquard today probably all the first division pitchers of the Giants have had their last work out before the series opens at the Polo grounds Tuesday. Mathewson, the old mainstay, has had the longest rest of any. He has not been in a game since week ago yesterday, when the pen nant was clinched.
 McGraw was highly pleased with Marquard's showing today against Brooklyn. He pitched five strong in- nings, holding Brooklyn scoreless with two scattered hits. The subsequent loss of the game came when Wiltz and Ames were put in and eight runs scored off of them.
