Boston, October 7.--Within few hours of the departure today Of the Red Sox for New York where they will cross bats to- morrow with the Giants in the initial contest of the worlds series. hundreds of Boston and New England baseball enthu- siasts followed in their wake. Starting in the late afternoon with the Royal Rooters' who went 900 strong. in a spe- cial train, accompanied by band. the migration continued through the night.
 The players made the trip practically in seclusion. They had a special car on the Knickerbocker limited. Governor Foss was on the train and wished the boys luck The demonstration planned for the Red Sox departure miscarried, as the crowd assembled at the south station while the players boarded the train at Back Bay.
 Although the outgoing rooters took with them enough enthusiasm to make New Workers feel sure tomorrow that the Red Sox have a host of supporters, there was still plenty left behind Boston, and it appeared, the greater part of New Eng land, planned to forego business tomor- row and flock to the bulletin boards or tiekers, to follow the progress of the

WHO WILL bE HERO OF THE b|G SERIES?
 INQUIRE THE FANS
Speculation as to the Hero Interests Gotham Random. Every Series Has Pro-
 duced a Star

New York, October 5-Speeulation as to which of the Boston or New York play CTS will come through as the hero of the worlds series formed an interesting topic among fans who gathered here today
 Every post season history of games in the past contains one star In 1903 it was Dineen, a pitcher for the Boston Ameri- cans, and now an umpire of the American league. He defeated tho Pittsburgs three times.
 Christy Afathewsen was the man of the hour in 1895. George Rhoe, practically unknown player from the south. made
 two timely striples in 1906, enabling the Chicago Americans to defeat the Chicago
 Nationals. Johnny l<lng of the Chicago Nationals broke up the Detroit hit and run combination in 1907 while Frank
 Chance in 1908 made II hits in 21 times at
 bat. Adams of the Pittsburg team beat Detroit three times in 1909, while Eddie
 Collins was the big star in 1910 and Frank l lin Baker last season. The New YoriS I team has some home run hitters who may do the Baker act in the coming 1 series. They have made 46 home runs this year and they have done their best batting against the best pitchers Larry | Doyle and Fred Merkle have been suc- cesfu in striking four base hits The rec ords show that the stars in their course
 are good hitters. Chief Meyers has made | six homers and Johnny Murray, Fred | snodgrass and Arthur Wilson each got three apiece. Every one of Wilson's hons | runs meant a New York victory in a game where the chances previously uiu not seen | fattering.

They are off On the Polo grounds in New York this afternoon the Boston Red Sox champions of the American league, and McGraw's Giants, winners of the National pennant clash in the first game of the series which is to decide the worlds baseball supremacy. The opening contest bids fair to be thriller. Both managers will play their trump cards in an effort to secure the advantages which usually accompany the winning of the opening game. They will pit their most dependable hurers against each other. There is but little doubt but that Stahl will send Smoky Joe Wood to the mound for the Red Sox, ard while Me- Graw has not as yet announced his

game. Confidence in the Red Sox gained strength from the general belief that Smoky" Wood will pitch for Boston in the opening game.
 Mayor Fitzgerald is rmbued strongly with the same feeling. This is indicated in telegrams exchanged between him and Mayor Gaynor of New York today, in which Mayor Fitzgerald is assured of a good seat at tomorrow's game. He left at midnight The exchange of telegrams follows:
 ..Hon J. r. Fitzgerald, City Hall, Boston: :: The mayor asks if you will give him the pleasure of sitting in his box tomor- row to witness the defeat of the Red Sox by the Giants. (Signed)
 ROBERT ADAMSON, Secretary Mayor Fitzgerald sent the following reply: ''IIon William J. Gaynor, City Hall, New York:
 Tt will give. me pleasure to be your guest as the Red Sox begin their onward march to the worlds championship and to congratulate you upon the fact that your city, the greatest in the country and pos sessing the best ball team in the Nation al league, is to have the distinguished honor of adding to the glory of the best city in the world and to the laurels of the finest ball team ever organized.
