Chicago, Sept. 28-Postponement of the Chicago New York games today necessitating playing a game in New York next Monday, caused a swift change to be made in the schedule of exhibition games for the American League champions.
 Instead of playing Cleveland here next Tuesday, as originally planned the game will be transferred to Cleve- land. The teams will return here for a game Wednesday. As the contests are not under the jurisdiction of the national commission the players will not share in the receipts. The games will be the last in which the Chicago club will engage before meeting New York in the worlds series.

Adjustments in all types, provided

There are three generally used types
