CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-Today was an
nt51er day for the Cubs, and WIFE baRe
Yuth. the Boston hurting ace, out OF
H.. wav. even though out or the way
means with q baseball game under
his belt, Chicago hoped for Oe1p1r
things in this afternoons session OF
The worlds series The day daFneo
b1shr. and although there was
chill in the air, IL was confidently
exDeeted everywhere that larger
crowd than yesterdays lS,0oo anu
some, would be present
The sparkling worth OF me Ase
pasr.ua from the standpoint OF tas
good baseball lover left nothing 20
be desired.
Tha CRIBS have been prone 10 argue
that their hardest part OF 5ne ma
ne,uyars would be when Babe HuLn
wss in the box Now that he is gone
thev expected Barrow 10 troI. OUT
Zoe Bush. This gentleman accord
ing 10 Chicago expectations VIII oe
much easier for them 70 sciYe
However, Ed Barrow. the Red Sex
manager. relieved himself OF
lengthy Grafton, as orauous rom
worlds series managers go, when ne
cnuftded that Bush would start only
against Tyler today II the southpaN
hero OF the 1914 dash OF the Braves
TO a championship and q world Dle

the hero OF the 1913 affair between
the Athletics and the Giants viii be
out there 70 oppose him. II case
TYLER did not start. ii was practically
certain Barrow would start carr
Mays.
The reason for BarTow's depend
ence on Bush against Tyler, and not
against some other member OF the
Cub staff, was not given out by Bar
row. but his statement stands
There are several reasons why
Fred Mitchell may be expected 10
trot Tyler out OF the dugouu Ii the
next encounter. The first and lore
most is the fact that Jim Vaughn,
although beaten gave a scintillating
exhibition Of left-handed pitching
IN The mind OF Mitchell, Vaughn is
.nnlv slightly better than Tyler. There
fore il NAV be deduced that he be
iisyes a Ieft-haader will be able 10
reduce the Red Sox defenses-
Barro~'s sudden Juggling OF the
Red Sox lineup yesterday may mean
vacation for Babe Ruth from ms
oast season outfieIding Job. The big
pitcher was shuuted To the bottom
Of the Boston lineup for the Irst
time in many weeks. Fans and ex-
perts figured Barrow hoped 20 save
the big pitchers strength ~ playing
him in that position and also ceduced
that the lineup presented yesterday
will stand through the series.
The Cubs are far from beaten
baseball club. They played mag
nificent game N their first start
Their efforts 70 get run around
were beautiful for the student OF
baseball to watch Il was Ruth and
Ruth alone, al all stages, who stood
the challenging Bruins OF their heads
and turned them back time after
time. History records 10 finer eLhI-
bition of baseball in q worlds series
pastime. If the two clubs continue
with such grades, their records viii
flash a brilliant spot n the dEsa-
days to come for baseball
Charles 4. Comiskey, owner az the
White Sox. relieved himself Ct soue
optimistic sentiment following yes
terday's battle when he declared -Ee
crowd to be above his expectations
"Cousidering the conditions, tIe
weather and everything which goes
to make baseball a game profitable,
said the old Roman, 4 was greatly
surprised at the size. OF the crowd
It was larger than could be h0Ped
