MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL lHAHAp WlFsl
New York, oct 3.-rhe Boston
American League club and the Brook
Ivn Nationals will meet in the 1916
worlds series, the opening game Of
which VIII be played on Braves field
at Boston next Saturday, october T.
The teams will remain in Boston over
Sunday and play the second game of
the series there ON Monday, october
9 after which they will return TO
Brooklyn for two games at Ebbetts
field on Tuesday and Wednesday,
october 10 and II. The fifth and
sixth games, if necessary will be
played on Thursday, October II, and
Friday, october 13, at Boston and
Brooklyn should a seventh game be
necessary, the location will be de-
cided by a toss of a coin.
These details were arranged today
before the pennant winning in the Ma
tiona league was not known at that
time. and the same dates that ap-
piled to Brooklyn and also applied to
the Philadelphia Nationals. Before
nightfall, however, the victory OF
Brooklyn over New York and the
double defeat administered to the
Philadelphia Nationals by Boston,
clinched the pennant for the Brooklyn
players
Originally it was intended TO hold
the national commission conference
here today but later it was decided
to defer it until tomorrow. Pres-
dent John X. Tener Of the National
league. and Chairman Garry Herr
mann Of the commission, arrived in
this city last night but President b..
3. Johnson of the American league
was not expected until tomorrow.
When he appeared early this morn
ing there was a hurried consultation
at which it was decided to hold the
meeting as originally scheduled.
President c. II. Ebbetts of the Brook
lyn club, w. F. Baker Of the Phila-
delpha club of the National league,
whose teams were still fighting for the
pennant, and Presidan- !. J. LannIn OF
the Boston AmeTIcaHs' WeTe TU1TTtdTy
summoned and the commission went
into session shortly before noon.
President Lanning suggested that
the series be opened at the park OF
the Boston Nationals, where the Amer4
lean leaguers will stage all their home
games, owing to its immense seating
capacity, instead of deciding the place
Of the initial games by the customary
toss of a coin. This plan was adopted,
in view of the fact that both the
Brooklyn and Philadelphia clubs
would require several days in which
to install additional seats and boxes
to accommodate the large crowd,
President Baker proposed that the
series begin Monday, october 8, but
this was vetoed by the commission as
being an unnecessary delay, as was
the suggestion that the play start
October 6, on the grounds that the
National league winner required a
day or two Of rest before being flung
into the worlds series against the
Boston club, who clinched their league
pennant two days ago.
The commission also dismissed the
proposal to alternate the games be-
tween the contending cities

After naming the list of eligible
players Of the three clubs and an
nouncing that the commission would
meet for further business at 3 p. m.
