Skies Threatening and Rain
May Call Halt to Open
ing of Classic
BY w. ]. Macbeth

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. 2.-The stage
is all ready for the annual struggle
for the baseball championship of the
world, which will begin Wednesday at
Charles Comskey's South Side Park
between the local Cubs and the Boston
Rcd Sox. The stage is ready and that
is about all that can be said. The
usual setting seems lacking this year.
To begin with, the skies are sombre
late this evening and a menacing
drouth that has held tho Middle w est
in its grip for the last two months
seems about to be broken at last,
Usually when it begins to rain under
such conditions in this Locality it rains
enough TO make the bones of old Noah
stir in their sepulchre.
No one would be greatly surprised
if whole weeks activities were to be
washed away. And that would be a
real disaster, for this particular series
needs all the press agenting it can
possibly get, with no interruptions of
any kind, to place it among the classics
Of the years gone by when baseball
was considered an essential every
where.
One would not we'll expect tonight
the usual enthusiasm that obtains on
the eve Of a worlds series. Hereto
fore, after tho close of the pennant
races the clubs involved had usually
several days in which to recuperate.
And this breathing spell gave vent to
speculation which instilled and incul-
Gated enthusiasm. This year the damp
ening influence of war, which necessi-
big league schedules, somewhat source
enthusiasm over the sport.
The case of the world series of 1915
may improve tomorrow with the ar
rival of the participating teams. 1t is
true that the stars of both aggrega
tions are already here. Mitchell hello
out number of his most dependable
men from the junket to Pittsburgh 70,
to-days closing double header. A hal
dozen of Barrow's veteran Red So,
hoped on from the East after Satur
days game. But until the two team:
arrive in force it cannot be said tha
either camp will have been pitched.
Chicago sportsmen, and there ar,
none more filled with civic pride, will
not admit this series is u bust. Indeed
they will tell you with great animation
that the Cub rooters alone are of such
numbers as to fill the spacious Comis
key park. Yet these boosters seen
about as timorous as the whistle O.
the little boy passing the village GENE
terry after dark.
Usually the tip off of interest in an.
sporting event is the demand TO
tickets. Annually the writer has beer
swamped with equests-hundreds an,
hundreds of them. This season not
solitary order. No one has even aske'
if world series was to be played. N

and the glory OF the old time Cubs
still shines resplendent in the West
Side. How the series will go in Boston
is another proposition.
The Hub fans have been surfeited
with world series games for some
seven fat years. They arc not so likely
to kowtow to another of a lean va
ricty. OF course. the fact that the
rrices Of admission Will not be so steep
as formerly may coax out many of the
home folk. They had been accustomed
to being crowded out by the transient.
who in 1918 is very conspicuous by his
absence
The palpatating public will have to
await the morrow for an expert analy-
sis of the strategical end of the game
Managers Mitchell and Barrow are
both missing from the field Of action
to date. Cub fans expect that Boston
will open the series with the mighty
Ruth and are hopeful that this may be
the case. they believe the Cubs will
show to better advantage against
southpaw pitching and are Of the opin-
ion that Ruth has lost some of his old
time cunning since he began to double
in brass as an outfielder. Furthermore
they know that the big mace of Ruth
is to be encountered every day, and
they would prefer to have the frst
shot from Ruth come in the very heav-
lest calibre that can be expected IN the
merry melee.
Those supposedly close to the Mitch
ell mind arc of the opinion that Big
jim Vaughn will be given the first
pitching assignment for Chicago The
fact that Mitchell divided Sunday
game with Vaughn and Tyler. his
southpaw aces, would tend to substan-
tiatc a belief that he was not quite
certain as to which of his southpaws
should be given the honor. Had
Vaughn been certain choice he likely
would have gone the routes in prepare
ton.
Vaughn is one of the huskiest heav-
ers OF the game and capable of pitching
the first and third games if at top
form Tyler needs plenty of rest be-
tween efforts. Should Mitchell decide
upon heavy course of southpaw &C
ton he could use Vaughn for the first
and third games and Tyler in the sec
ond, provided the schedule comes off as
arranged That would give Tyler from
Thursday to Monday to rest up for the
opening contest in Buffalo.
Hendrix May Surprise
But there is a suspicion that Mitchell
may add touch of variety to the boz
work presented against the Sox. Hen
dirk has shown to advantage this year
and the manner in which he was useC
in Pittsburgh might indicate more Sc
rious action for this onetime wizard
of the spitballers.
In one way the series will be q relief
to those deans of the rooters who have
travelled far and near to see all the
series of the past fifteen years. The
classic will be one free from the Gus.
tomary rabble of ticket scalpers. That
should atone for whatever class that
may be missing from the reel.

ors took part in the medal play handi-
cap at Forest Park, which was fitting
wndup of the three days tournament

but he made score in the handicap
that was envied by all those who fin
ished before 5 o'clock in the evening.
His card was:

Naturally, the most important match
of the day was the final of the first six
teen, between A. +. Poinsette and A.
kckhardt, and it carried the gallery. as
they are two of the most expert anna
tours who frequent the links. and they
played their match at about an so
clip. Poinsette proving tho victor at the

The second contest went to the
Yankees in the ninth inning after two

Tiger, and George Mogrdge were the
two moundsmen. In the final session,
with the score a tie, Mogridge walked
and stole second, being aided in the
theft by a bad throw from MAYER, the
Red Sox catcher. Walters hit to COT
