WORLDS SERIES
CONTINUED From First Pare.)

iallv Chicago, as the scene OF the
opening conflict, the impending
battle between tho White SoX and
the Giants IL Of paramount lmpoF'
lance. It is the basis and source
of unlimited controversy. The
coming contest has been argued
from every conceivable angle
without the partisans OF the two
teams agreeing on any one rea-
ture OF the play or the result.
There is but one Idea In COM
mon between the two rival camps
OF rooters, and that IS the desire
for fair weather when the clans
of Rowland and McGraw appear
on the diamond eagre for the test
Of baseball skill and nerve. What
the morrow holds for the fan ana
PLAYER In this respect It Is hard
to forecast tonight. The weather
prediction for Saturday is fair and
cool, but after a day Of rain
squalls and high gales. darkness
settled over the city With sullen
gray clouds and Noyember-like
winds sweeping across the sky
and along the city streets.
President Com!skey apparently
was not worried by the tndiffer-
ent support OF the local %eather
man, however, for he places re-
lance in q little pocket almanac
which states the weather for the
opening game OF the worlds Sc
ries will be fair.
This bit of information was
given by the odd Roman in the
course OF tanning bee" In one
OF the offices at White SoX park
today. For years the president
Of the American league champions
has relied upon the accuracy Of
this almanac. When special days
were given at the park. such as
Frank Chance Day. in honor OF
the former Chicago National
league idol, who came here az
manager Of the New York Yam
KEGS. the little book said clear
and warm" and when a dy was
set aside for Ed Walsh last year
the little book again was consult
cd for a date promising favora-
bic conditions. In this case also
the weather. was all that could
have been asked.
The fans tonight are praying
to the Gods of baseball that Com
tskey's almanac may prove as re-
liable as heretofore. for the post
ponement. even for 4 day. Of the
opening day would upset schedule
plans and ARRANGEMENTS. not only
OF the players but OF thousands
OF supporters OF the rival clubs
and numerous non-partisan spec
tators who have travelled hun
dred5 of miles to see the first
clash Of western and eastern
major League pennant winners.
From far points In all sections
OF the country. these thirty-'hird
degree baseball fans have come TO
witness what they confidently pre-
dict will be the greatest world
series in many seasons. Tho ho-
tells are thronged tonight with
these invaders from distant terri
tory.
