Chicago, Sept. 4.-Prevented by rain from staging the first game of the worlds series today, the Chicago Ma tionals and Boston Red Sox spent the day under cover in preparation for the game tomorrow, which, weather per mitting, will inaugurate the last strug- gle for the premier baseball honors to be played during the war.
 Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs, and Manager Barrow in the Boston club, kept their players closely segre- gated today, working out problems of defense and attack preparatory to the opening round of the battle omorrow. Both leaders expressed confidence as to the outcome.
 The only outcroping of news which will enlightened an otherwise dismal, gloomy session of the "hot stove" lea que, lay in the injury to Dave Shean, the Red Sox second baseman, who split the middle finger of his throwing hand during practice, and who, it was said, may not appear in tomorrow's lineup. Jack Coffey was picked to substitute for Shean with possibility that Fred Mason, who is on a furlough from the Giant Lakes naval training sta- tion, might be called into the fray to play third base.
 August Hermann, chairman of the | National Baseball Commission, en- livened the hotel corridor gossip with the announcement that he expected the series to net $25.000 for war chari- ties. He said indications were that | the total receipts this year would ap | proach quarter of a million dollars to be divided between the players clubs. leagues and commission, with the split tor the runner up and third and fourth place clubs. MT. Herr mann based his estimates on the re- ceipts of last year which in round numbers totalled $950,O0O.
 The possibility of a Sunday game in Chicago loomed large today. Over cast skies augured ill for tomorrow's scheduled contest and it was announc- ed that in the event of another post ponement over a tie game the frst contest at Boston might be put over until Tuesday and a game staged 1T Chicago on Sept. 8. The club owners were frankly in favor of this plan.
