Cubs who will take part in the big
classics are:

II there are no leagues next sea.
son. the game probably will revert
to the conditions Of 1869. Every city
will have a club, a salaried club, of
players over the draft age, re-en-
forced by a few semi-pros, under
twcnty-one. These clubs, without a
pennant or worlds series in sight
will range round the country just
as the Reds did almost fifty years
ago.
In their travels of 1869 the Rods
covered more ground and visited
more cities than is the custom with
a fixed schedule embracing eight
teams. Those rollicking days may
come back again: a club wearing the
Cincinnati Red may again be seen
in San Francisco and in Washington.
the fans will be given plenty Of good
baseball, and rivalry will be just as
keen as though eight clubs were
wobbling oil their weary way. Clubs
of 1919. in all probability, will have
to meet thirty or forty adversaries
instead OF only seven.
Such teams may play nearly as
many games as the usual 154gamc
schedule. but they will be catch-as-
catch-can games N many places.
Baseball can not, will not die. II

ditions, and the fans will turn out

WILDE BEATS CONN.

LONDON, Sept. Jimmy Wilde,
the worlds marvellous hyweight
champion, again proved his greatness
here yesterday when he defeated Joe
Conn. a featherweight, in twelve
rounds at the Chelsea football field.
The match was scheduled for twenty
rounds.
Conn weighed twenty pounds more
than his famous rival. but the little
champion was made a 7to-4 favorite
before the men climbed through the
ropes.
Wilde took the aggressive from the
start, and, although severely pun
ished throughout. sent Conn down
twice for the count of nine in the
tenth round. In the twelfth round
the referee stopped the go and
awarded the decision to Wilde.
Most of the proceeds Of the bout
went to war charity. Twenty eight
hundred wounded soldiers were given
free seats close 20 the ring.

By HARRY NELLY.

CHICAGO, Sept 1t is going to
be a great series between two great
ball clubs. The teams are evenly
matched and I expect to see some
very good games"
That is the declaration of Charles
A. Comiskey, master of the White
Sox. He was approached for a few
ideas about the impending clash be-
tween the Cubs and the Red Sox, be-
cause, you know, "Commy' is quite
an authority on the national pastime
and he was involved in the most re-
cent battles for the baseball bunting
of the world.
There are a lot OF fans across tho
water" he continued, "but there are
enough left to insure the success of
the series. Why, there are enough
people in Chicago interested in good
baseball to make certain of filling
oil ihe seats at the South Side
Park"
Il believe that thousands of fans
will come from nearby cities. The
United States War Exposition at
Great Park will give them two at
fractions which can be visited in one
trip. l understand the hotels ex-
pect $4,000 visitors to the exposition
and a lot OF then are fans
who will yin he series? Well,
I cannot atten.l to say. I have seen
little Of the Cubs this season, but
from what I have heard Manager
Mitchell has a team that will make
trouble :or any opponent.
II am IN a peculiar position. Be
ing an American League club owner
Il would be proper for me 20 wish
success TO my own organization. On
theNothsr hand, nothing would please
me better than to see the worlds

guess I'll have to hope the best club
wins.
"The owners of the Cubs went out
and spent money and left no stone
unturned to build up a winning ball
club. They have been exceedingly
liberal and 1t gives me pleasure 20
think that their efforts have met
with success and th&t they have q
club capable of giving a good ac-
count OF itself against the American
League winner"
And thus. without a sigh OF regret
at the breakdown of his own base
ball machine. the wisest of baseball
magnates opined that he had better
go to the telephone and call up Wal
ter Craighead for the purpose of
making a few reservations for the
classic.

TENNIS CRACKS

At any rate, they are all there
save hve who were put out before
the rain yesterday. They range in
age from sixteen to-we were going
to say sixty-but the outstanding
fact remains that more men aspire
| for the District title this season than
J ever before. Added interest in the
tournament comes from the fact that
there Is a generous sprinkling OF
men who have gained regulations out

There were sixty-four entrants re-

Since assuring themselves of win
ming the National League flag, the
Cubs have tried in every way to get
lines on Sam Jones, but they have not
met with much success. American
Leaguers, loyal to their own circuit,
are not giving away anything they
know. As a result Sam Jones may
prove the shining star of the 1918 Sc
ries for the Boston Red SoX.
When Iris Speaker was sold to
Cleveland, Sam Jones was chucked in
with Fred Thomas for good measure.
Jones had never been more than q
relief finger for the Cleveland club,
and far from effective at that. Last
year he starred in the Red Sox bull
pen, that's all.
Comes Into His Own.
Beginning this year, Sam came into
his own. The loss OF Ernie Shore
polished him until today he is the
most successful twirIer with the new
champions. Furthermore, Jones is
quite as effective against one team
as he is against another. No ball club
in the league can boast of finding him
"a soft mark" He may be the most
tantaliZing OF all the Boston pitchers
against the Chicago Cubs.
The big series opens in Chicago
Wednesday, continuing on Thursday
and Friday. These three games will
be played at Comiskey Park on the
South Side, which seats in the vicinity
70 10000. Saturday will be spent
travelling East Sunday-oh, well,
Sunday in Boston will be just Sunday
in Boston, something to forgive and
forget.
The fourth game of the series will
be played on Monday, September o.
" three more games are necessary to
decide the championship, all three
will be staged at Fenway Park, Bos-
ton. In other words, Chicago fans
will have to content themselves with
witnessing the first three games and
then following their champions
through the newspapers.
