New York, September 6.-The shadow of the coming world series is already be- ginning to cast itself across the major league baseball diamond, although there is no absolute or mathematical certainty as to which teams will be the contenders. In the National league, the New York club has what appears to be an unbeata- ble lead, but the struggle for American league pennant honors between the Chi cago and Boston teams is still too close to permit a definite selection of the win ner at this time.
 Two of these three clubs are almost certain to be participants in the series however and the followers of the game are beginning to forecast the methods and arrangements which the national commits sion and the club owners will decree for the coming contests According to the official schedules of the two leagues, the New York Nationals will close their 1917 season at Philadelphia on October 4 the Chicago Americans at New York october and the Boston Americans at home on October 4.
 It has been the custom in recent years to select the city for the opening games of the series by the toss of a coin
 TO START OCTOBER 6
 Should the New York and Boston clubs be the ones to play for the worlds cham pfonship it is generally accepted that the first game will be played in one or the other of these cities on Saturday, Octo- Der G.
 If Chicago and New York are involved, however, conditions are likely to be con siderably changed. If New York is se- lected for the initial contest, it is thought likely the series will begin on Friday, Oc- tober 5, with the second game on Sat urday, followed by a trip tp Chicago for the third contest on Monday, October S.. Should the series open in Chicago, play will undoubtedly be started on Saturday followed by Sunday game, and then a jump to New York, where the series will be resumed on Tuesday.

LARGE CROWDS EXPECTED

Regardless of how a New York-Chi- cago series is arranged it is considered likely that both parks would be com pletely sold out before game time, as the rivalry would be exceedingly keen. It is possible, however, Sunday contest will be played in Chicago in order to give that portion of fandom which could not otherwise witness the play chance to at tend at least one game.
 The seating capacities of the New York and Chicago parks are almost equal. Al- lowing for additional press facilities the Polo grounds will accommodate about ST. GOO persons, while the White Sox park will care for close to 5000. If the Boston Americans Should prove to be one of the eontenders it is likely that the home games will be played at the Boston Ma tional league park, which will seat almost 43,0o0 persons.
 Should the New York and Boston clubs meet under these conditions, each club will be thoroughly familiar with the rival playing park; but if Chicago and New York play, the White Sox will have an advantage in this respect, for they have played at the Polo grounds for two years during the American league season, while the Giants have not had occasion to use the White Sox grounds, as all their games in Chicago have been at the Ma tional league park

Shadow of World Series
 DrdWS Interest 0f Majors

i posed by Chicago or Boston the series will begin two games in each of the cities represented followed by alternate con- tests, if New York and Boston are the competing clubs, up to and including the sixth game. If a seventh is necessary to decide the series the location will be se- lected by the toss of a coin. With Chi cago and New York participating, how ever, some doubt is evinced as to how the games will be apportioned. Owing to the time and money involved in the trip be- tween New York and Chicago in either direction it may be decided to play the series two games in one city followed by three in the other with a third shift in case six or seven contests are necessary.
 This was the method adopted in 1910 when the Chicago Nationals and the Phil adelphia Americans met. The first two games were staged in Philadelphia and two days later a series of three contests was started in Chicago, the Cubs taking four out of the five and thus winning the series.
