May Have No CITY Series.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 9.-Yesterday was
a sad day for athletes wearing Cub uni
forms. They had visions of a cold
winter, starvation, last summers rain
coats as their only protection and 500
bills floating as if they had wings The
cause was a telegram addressed to
Manager Tinker from President
Weeghman. 1t read as follows:
Unless team wins majority of re
naming games there will be no city
series in Chicago this fall. even should
the White Sox fail TO win the Ameri-
can league pennant."
We leave il to you to picture the
scene in the Cub camp when this mes
sage was passed around. Even the
vets felt downhearted, and they have
been accustomed TO only the losers end
of the contests. The youngsters, on
the other hand have been scanning
the SOx results daily, keeping tab on
their flag chances and hoping against
the worst. Even the losers end of the
purse is something not to be sneezed
at with the long winter approaching.
The cause for this outburst from
headquarters was brought about when
some enterprising Bruin supporter
told Boss Weeghman that his hirelings
were not putting their best foot for
ward; that they were performing in
