WILL ARRANGE TODAY FOR SERIES
Flip of Coin Will Decide Where Initial Battle Between PhiIies and Red Sox Will be Played American Leaguers.Hopeto to Start Series Friday, Oct. g.


 October games this afternoon. Sev- eral games of more than the usual early season interest are scheduled for decision on eastern gridirons. Chief attention will center in the meeting of the Princeton and Rutgers teams. all though the Yale-V Virginia game and the seasons debut of the army and navy elevens are also outstanding features of the schedule
 The two United States service acad- emSNteams will open their 1915 sched- ules with contests on home gridirons. The army will have Holy Cross as competitors at West Point and the navy plays Georgetown at Annapolis. Holy Cross did not show any particu- lar strength in defeating Bates last Saturday, but Georgetown put up hard battle against Princeton and the 1S sto 9 defeat, would have been even further minimized but for disastrous funbling which gave the Tigers one of the two touchdowns which won for Princeton.
 Cornell and Pennsylvania will meet Oberlin and Franklin and Marshall, re- spectiyely, and the coaches of the two charges will be forced to extremes to win. Dartmouth will play Maine, which Yale defeated week ago by a score of -37 to 0, and the Hanover eleven is understood to harbor desire to sur pass these figures. It is doubtful, how ever, if the big Green team has reached the point. in its training where the coaches will permit more than a mod crate degree of attack, since defensive tactics is the order of development at present.

All the details of the coming worlds series between the Boston Americans arranged at a meeting of the national commission to. be held in New York today. On the toss of a coin will de- pend the choice of the city in which the opening game will be playedf but there appears to be more interest in the date of the opening contests than in the location of the initial battle for the championship of 1915.
 Whether the series will begin on Fri day, Oct 8, or on Saturday, Oct. g. is causing much discussion among follow CTS of baseball in New York. Many league interests will endeavor to have the play begin on Friday, Oct. 8, the day after the close of the league sea- son. This would preclude the possi- bility of the Phillies ssending their star pitcher. Grover Cleveland Alexander, games played as might easily be done should the series start on Saturday, Oct. g. Under the latter schedule.

 A point made by those fl, favor of beginning the series on Friday is that IL WOulQ De much more convenient date for those fans who desire to wit ness all the games of the series. Un- der such a schedule. no matter which city was selected for the opening game, the visiting spectators would have Sunday in which to make the trip to the other city. Many believe that the national commission will take this fact into consideration in assigning the dates of play, which are expected to call for two games in one city, two in the other, to be followed by alternating games until the close of the series.
 Other matters to come up for con- sideration will include the price and handling of tickets, the assigning of umpires and numerous minor details requiring considerable discussion. and the meeting may develop into a. pro- tracted session. VI

PHILLIPS CAPTURE FLAG
 FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Qaker City Teams Have Come Near, But This Year Their Hopes Are Realized.

For the first time in the history of the worlds series, the National league will be represented by a Philadelphia club in the struggle for the premier shonors of the professional diamond. Not since the organization of the senior major league back in 1876 has a Quaker City-team in this association won pennant until the present sea- son.
 During the 40 years of the National leagues existence Philadelphia has fought for the flag no less than 34 times, and it remained for Manager Pat Moran to lead the Phillies of 1915 out of the wilderness of baseball despair and into the light of a worlds series. The home of William Penn was represented by a club in the opening year of the organization. but the fol- lowing season dropped out and did not reappear as a pennant contender until 1883.
 From that time until the present, Philadelphia has annually figured in the league race, but with rather indif- feFent success. The position. of runner up the winner was achieved in 1887, 1901 and 1913. while the depth was reached in 1897. when the Phillies fin-

New York, Oct. With United States Steel as leader, today's market gathered fresh strength and moved to greater heights on an expanding vol ume of business. In the first two and last two hours transactions averaged about 34O,000 shares per hour, with some diminution at midday.
