BOTH TEAMS ARE
 EVENLY MATCHED
Contests Will All Be Closely
 Contested, Say Fans

Chicago, Sept 6.-There Is no ques- ton but that Ed Barrow threw the Cubs off their balance by pitching Ruth yesterday. The Cubs got into practice batting against right handlers and their eyes nearly popped out when they saw Ruth warming up. At first they thought it was only a bluff as Barrow warmed up his right handlers with Ruth.
 Ruth has remarkable worlds se- ries pitching record, inasmuch as onlr one run has been scored on him in 2S innings. and none in his last p in niags. In the 1916 series Ruth won the longest worlds series game vet played, when he also beat a left hand CT, Shorrod smith of Brooklyn, by 2 to 1 in 14 innings. Hi Myers made 8 home run off Ruth in the first in- ming of this game. after which he shut out Brooklyn for tlre remainder of tha game. Ruth. however, still Is angling for his first world series hit. as he failed to hit against Vaughn yesterday. Babo got hold of one and slammed it on the nose, but right at Paskert Alter that auEhn struck him out
 The game played seemed to indicate that the teams are as closely matched. as was predicted. However, Vaughn pitched as good a game as he probably will show during the remainder of the series and lost it.
 Barrow seems to have the advaatags in pitchers, as he has Bush and Mays to go in tomorrow, and the Cubs, with their numerous right-handed hitters. especially Merkle, Mann and Paskert. are figured weaker against right-hand- CTS than left-handers.
 Tyler is certainty as Chicago's pitcher tomorrow, while Bush will nc doubt be in the box for Boston. That the Red SoX cannot do a great deal with left-handers was proved by ths way they nibbled at Vaughn, and Ty- Ter may be able to tie up the series to- day. When he is right his delivary ia just as puzzling as that of Vaughn, and 1t Is unlikely that the hard hitting Cubs again will be shut out. Yesterdays game had few thrills and dragged at times, but on the whole exceeded the average brand of worlds series play. For instance it is seldom that you find such splendid fielding and pitching in the same game. Both clubs were practically 100 per cent perfect in these departments; in fact the sides went out SO regularly that it became a rather dull game despite its Closeness.
 The nearest thing to a new worlds series hero developed yesterday vas Whiteman, who behaved In left ffsld in the same stellar manner in which Duffy Lewis roamed the same pasture in the worlds series in 1915 and 1916, when he and Hooper Were the stars of the series. Whiteman also hit up t6 the old Duffy Lewis standard
 During the regular season Barrow had Ruth bat fourth whether he pitched or played in the outfeld but today he had Babe at the foot of the list and Whitaman in the cleanup place. The veteran seemed to enjoy this distinction, as he completed tha first game with an average of 800.
