Gives Home Team Certain
Advantage First Game

New York, Aug 26.-The plans
for the worlds series announced yes
terday apparently favor the Cubs
the winners of the National league
pennant.
The home team always has a GER
tain intangible advantage in the first
game. The Cubs have been awarded
not only the first game. but the first
three games. The plan devised by
the national commission to save
travelling expenses by playing three
games in one city and then as many
more as are needed to decide the CON
test in the other gives Chicago the
advantage of one more game than
under the old plan.
The extra game which the Red Sox
Will be compelled to play in hostile
territory before opening at home
may have something TO do with the
morale of the players. If the Bean
eaters are accorded the same kind of
treatment in Chicago as the fans Of
the Windy City usually deal out TO
rival teams in such battles, il may be
difficult for them to maintain a high
standard OF play.
