WORLDS SERIES OPEN OCT. '
Boston and Brooklyn Will Meet Braves Field in Initial Game for Premier Baseball Honors-Eigible Players Announced Academy Football Schedule-Great Horse Racing at Lexington.

New York. Oct S-The Boston American League club and the Brook lyn Nationals will meet in the 1916 worlds series. the opening game of which will 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, Oct. 9. weather permitting, after which they will return to Brooklyn for two games at Ebbets Field oneTuesday and We'd nesday, Oct. 10 and Il. The fifth and sixth games. if necessary. will be played on Thursday. Oct 12 and Fri day, Oct. 13. at Boston and Brooklyn. respectively. Should a seventh game be necessary to decide the series. the location of the contest will be de- cided by the toss of a coin as in past years.
 All these details were arranged at meeting of the National Baseball Commission in this city this afternoon, but the pennant winner in the Ma tiona1 League was not known at the time the commission adjourned and the same dates that applied to Brook lyn also applied to the Philadelphia Nationals. Before nightfall, however, the victory of Brooklyn over New York and the double defeat adminis- tered to the Philadelphians by the Boston club of the same league clinch- ed the pennant for the Brooklyn play CTS and placed them in the position of National League standard bearers in the annual oust against the Amer ican League champions.
 The meeting of the National Conn mission was attended by almost the same amount of uncertainty as mark ed the final hours of the National League pennant struggle. Originally it was intended to hold the conference here today but later it was decided to defer it until tomorrow. President John K. Tener of the National League and Chairman Garry Hermann of the commission arrived in this city late

last night, but President B. B. John son of the American league was not expected until tomorrow. When he ap- peared upon the scene early this morning there was a hurried consul tation at which it was decided to hold the meeting as originally scheduled. Presidents c. H. Ebbets of the Brook lyn club: w. F. Baker of the Phila- delphia club of the National League, whose teams were still fighting for the pennant, and President J. J. Lan- hastily summoned and the commission went into session shortly before noon.
 Tentative arrangements already had been made covering the possibilities of either Philadelphia or Brooklyn in the National League being the opponents of the Boston Americans and the schedule of worlds series games was arranged after a short discussion. President Lannin suggested that the series be opened at the park of the Boston Nationals. where the Ameri can Leaguers will stage all their games, owing to it's immense seating capacity, instead of deciding the placS 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 re- quired several days in which to install additional seats and boxes to accom- modate the large crowds which will attend the series.
 President Baker proposed that the series begin on Monday, Oct. g, but this was vetoed by the commission as being an unnecessary delay, as was a suggestion that the play start Friday, Oct. 6. on the ground that the Ma tional League winner required a day or two of rest before being flung into the worlds series against the Boston Red SoX, who clinched their league pennant two days ago.
 The commission also dismissed the proposal to alternate the games be- tween the contending cities but de-

Boston, Oct s.-The Boston Amer brought them another championship, with a session today in which the Philadelphia club won two games. The scores were to 8 and to 5.
 Supposedly tuning up for the worlds series. Red Sox pitchers found their offerings freely hit by the lowly Athletics. Foster. who had not pitch ed previously for weeks. was hit ex- ceptionally hard, seven hits for six teen bases being counted against him in four innings. Ruth was almost similarly treated and Mays lacked his usual effectiveness. But Manager Car rigan took the edge off any disappoint- ment Boston supporters might have felt by the statement:

Bad fielding was responsible for the home teams defeat in each game.
 The teams put up a hard battle in the opening contest until two men were out in the seventh inning Then, with Philadelphia leading by to l, and Rudolph on second base, Stock fumbled Fitzpatricks grounder and Paskert also fumbled the ball, Rudolph scoring. Doubles by konetchy and 'Magee and a wild throw by Byrne followed, and Boston got five runs for the inning. Rudolph held Philadelphia safe in the closing inning.
 In the second game errors cost both of the runs made off Mayer, while Bender was hit hard in the eighth, when the visitors piled up four runs and clinched the victory. Tyler held the home team down to five scattered hits, one of which was a home run drive by Whitted.

SOME Rail- GAME

Some more ball game was pulled
off in this town last Friday between
the team of the Durant Mercantile
Company and another team known
as the Fish and Oyster Parlor Hash
ers. After prolonged agony and a
fierce struggle, the latter wiggled out
with the long end of nine to five
score to their credit. The. vanquish-
ed team appears to be dissatisfied
with the result and will again at.
tempt to wrest victory from the
once victors.
