COMISkEY PARK, CHICAGO, Sept
6-Despite enthusiasm that ran ram
pant through Chicago after the first
greaG contest Of the worlds series.
Comiskey park looked very barren to-
day half an hour before time 10 start
the game between the Cubs and the
Red Sox-
The weather was warm: there was
scarcely any wind and those clouds
visible, were or the light, fieecy va
riety These favorable conditions
even when added to yesterdays bril-
liant contest, appeared to make no dir
ference Indications were, based on
would be smaller than yesterdays.
The bIeachers, as was the case yes
iterday, filed early. The payilions, one
on each side of the grand stand, filed
more rapidly. but the upper and lower
tiers of the grand stand were sore
spots for the national commission and
the players.
The Red Sox took brisk batting
practice on reaching the diamond and
were served with left hand pitching,
evidently expecting George Tyler TO
start against them This conclusion
seemed TO be well justified. following
the excellent showing Jim Vaughn
made against lie American leaguers
in the first game. In fact Fred Mitch
ell had stated early in the day that it
was his intention 10 start Tyler.
Just before the game, Ed Barrow
said he would start Bush II Mitchell
selected Tyler. II Phil Douglas was
the Cub selection. he said. Mays would
be sent TO the mound for Boston.
This, ne said, would be due to the fact
that Mays hits well against right hand
pitching while Bush is fair hitter
when opposed 70 left handlers. II
Douglas was to start. Babe Ruth,
twirIing hero OF the first game, was
TO be stationed in left field In place of
Whiteman. Ruth while terrific hit
