FIRST IN HISTORY
World Series Between Chicago
and N. Y. Something New.
For This Reason Classic Is
Drawing Unusual Attention.

New York, Sept. 29.-In the long
history of world series play for the
championship of the baseball uni
verse it is doubtful if any previous
contest of this character aroused the
widespread interest which has been
engendered by the coming clash be-
tween the Chicago Americans and the
New Yo. k Nationals. AlthO world
series play is not new to either OF the
cities represented by the clubs in
year, it will be the first time that
New York and Chicago clubs have
met for the premier honors of the
diamond.
This is all the more remarkably
when it is considered that the world
series dates back to 1884 and has
continued in one form or another and
with but few breaks for more than
thirty years The ensuing series will
be the twenty-sixth since the Provi-
faced the Metropolitan team of the
American association in the initial
contest back in 1884 and emerged
victor in three straight games 1t
will also be the thirteenth played I'M
der the code and jurisdiction of the
National commission which in 1905 ar
ranged for an annual meeting be-
tween the pennant winning clubs Of
the two major leagues.
Americans Hold Edge.
OF the twelve series staged under
these rules American league teams
have won seven and the National
league clubs five. Sixty-six games
have been played of which the Amer
leans have won SO and the Nationals
81 with two resulting in tie contests.
But one run divided the records of
the two leagues in this respect as
during these 66 games the National
league players have crossed the plate
223 times to their rivals 222.
Another interesting feature of the
meeting of the Chicago and New York
clubs is the fact that both may be
said to hold charter membership in
their respective organizations. The
New York team entered the senior
baseball circuit on formation in 1876
and finished sixth that season. At the
close of the schedule play the COM
bination dropped out and did not re-
turn until 1883, from which date its
connection with the National league
has been continuous. The Chicago
White Sox played a prominent part
in the forming of the American
league in 1900 and has also held con-
tinuous membership in the junior
league since that year
During this period of eighteen years
the White Sox have won four pen
nants. capturing flags in 1900, 1901,
1906 and 1911 The club has figur-

How Fat Folks
Reduce Weight
Many Are Losing Several
Pounds a Month

Fat persons. particularly hose from
ten to sixty pounds above normal
weight, will be interested to learn that
they may reduce their weight without
starvation diet or tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by getting
plenty of fresh air, by breathing
deeply and by taking a few drops of
oil of korein four times a day, also
in following the other simple rules
