an inevitable conclusion, that unless

championship embodiment will be
terminated after the minimum stipu-

regretted that Mr.. McGraw did not i'm
mediately perceive the incalculable
deleterous effect which Mr.. Farnum's
astonishing vestment was certain -

already too considerable tension. The
psychology of the chromatic color scale
so ably set forth by Professor Hiram

proves beyond peradventure that solid
masses of any primary color operate
toward a direct and affirmative eS-

scores as possible. Rowland yesterday
morning was undecided a. 20 his pitch
ing selection. He held southpaw Reb
Russell and the veteran, Eddie Cicotte.
in equal favor. There j. little doubt
that Cicotte will now get the honor.
Three Days Rest
Cicotte is a heavy-set, strong fel-
low for his inches. but throughout the
season has seldom been called upon
without at least three days rest. he
has now had three days rest since
the opening game. Russell has been
bothered just bit lately By ssre
arm. OF course, Chicago can afford
TO gamble, having the fine advantage
of two games already won. Doubtless
McGraw's nomination will affect the
selection OF Rowland
The baseball shsrps believe there is
nothing for McGraw TO do but come
right back with Ferdie Schupp. This
youngster did not last long enough
Sunday TO affect his form for this
afternoon. Schupp is most reliable
portsider as rule and particularly
effective on the high pitching mound
of the Polo Grounds He has always
been at his best before big home
crowds this year.
Interest in this series apparently
has not been dimmed by the two New
York defeats. The fact was demon
strated yesterday by the big throng
that braved the rain on the slim
chance that the skies might clear in
time. Practically all OF the lower
grandstand was sold out.
There are only about four thou
sand lower grandstand seats left" said
Secretary John B. Foster last night.
"0f course, the rain checks will be
good, but only for the first game
played. Special entrances for these
rain check holders will be provided
on the Eighth Avenue side. Few
bleacher seats were sold because Of
the rain"
Most of the local and visiting press
went 70 Brush Stadium. and TO gain
admission had to give up their first
game coupons. The remainder Of the
tickets will be good for admission to-
day
) The local management thought serb
ously for while of refunding money
on the rain checks after yesterdays
game had been postponed. but finally
abandoned the scheme when il became
evident that the task. in view of the
big crowd. would be stupendous. II is
feared efforts at counterfeiting may
be made on the paper that is out
The postponement probably will give
the ticket spectators an opportunity
10 reap rich harvest. Both here and
| in Chicago the scalpers were able 10
secure a very limited supply of re-
served seats. The scalpers, however.
were we'll represented in the crowd
yesterday. and by offering anywhere
from three to five dollars for the rain
checks secured no insignificant stock
of these general admissions.

can dig UP a pitcher who can actually
