TO ARRANGE
r PLANS TOMORROW
Place of First Two Games Most Important Thing to Be
Settled, and Toss of Coin Will Decide That
Feds Postpone Night Game Debut.

A meeting Of the National Commits
sion has been called for this city to-
morrow. At that time complete details
for the worlds series between the Red
Sox and Phillies will be arranged. Bos-
ton won the American League cham
pionship yesterday afternoon-just one
day later than the National triumph
Of Philadelphia-through the defeat OF
Detroit by st. Louis.
The worlds series business that will
confront the National Commission 10
only a matter Of routine. As Is GUS
tomary. no worlds championship will
go to the team that scores the first
four wins. Baseball Law governs a great
many Of the major details such IS the
division Of the gate receipts.
The players OF the contesting clubs
have an interest in the first four games
only. Ties count In their pot. though
not In the championship. Ten per cent.
OF each days receipts is deducted for
the National Commission. which has
charge OF the series. OF the remaining
80 per cent. for the hrst four games
so per cent. is vet aside as a pool for
the PLAYERS. OF this co per cent. is
divided among the winners. The other
40 per cent. of the 80 per cent. Is split
equally by the club owners After the
first four games have been played the
club owners divide equally the residue
after the commission's tariff has been
deducted.
Chief public interest, OF course. Just
now centres upon the scene OF the first
battle. For the honor OF these the pres
idents OF the contending clubs will toss
a coin before the commission members.
AS last season. two games will be
played In the city hat draws the honor
of the opening. Then the rival city
will be visited for two games. II more
than four games are required then from
the fifth game on the cities will alter
nate UP to six games. The scene OF
the seventh or rubber game always is
decided by the nip OF a coin. There is
also one exception. or At least there
was last year. In the series between
the Braves m Athletics 1t was de-
cided that In case OF a tie the clubs
would remain at the city where the tie
occurred until the draw had been de-
cided.
OF course the commission has to APP
, prove of umpires. scorers. its representa-
tive in charge. and what not. But the
!, schedule and the place OF the first games
are the real matters OF moment. Nothing
OF course. can be learned OF the com
missions plans in advance. though II Is
known that all Of the technicalities were
; discussed in Cincinnati a couple Of weeks
ago at the drafting meeting. From hints
dropped here and there. II is evident that
the series will open a week from to-day
