The sun came out in the afterhoon and the game will be played here tomorrow unless there is further deluge.
 The postponement was of no advantage to the visitors, as Manager Moran planned. to pitch Hod Eller, who has not had his innings in the box. but to the bruised and battered Sox, who have lost three and won one of the games played so far, it was a boon because it gave Claude Williamfs. who was beaten at Cincinnati last Thursday, another day of rest, and Manager Gleason had intended to send him into the box today.

A baseball revolution is a seeming certainty during the coming winter
 After years of almost unnterrupted reign over the American league, Ban Johnson is faced with the possibility of being thrown out of the presiden- tial job. True. the "Czar of baseball has a life contract. but conditions may be made so unpleasant for him that he will resign the position that he has held since the fomation of the new organization.
 Ever since the Yankee owners took Up legal bludgeons against him, Joha- son has been slipping farther and far ther from the lofty heights that he once held in the estimation of base ball fans. The very fact that some of the men who helped 10 pay his salary have gone to courts to show that he is incompetent, is tip-off as to the present feeling concerning Johnson. And the Hast straw IS the fact that some of the most powerful men in the American league are fight ing Johnson-and none is openly as- ssting him.
 Johnson just now is in the place of man friendless and alone who is sur- rounded on all sides by bitter enc mics.
 The ma gnates who were friends or Johnson--his stanchest admirers in the other years-either have performed flip flop or are remaining neutral. None is lending q hand.- Johnson is a splendid and courageous battler. He has proved it a score of times in the last Is years. But it doesn't seem pos sible that he can batter down all the opposition against him now and hold the jcb that came into being with nin.
 Garry Hermann is another target of criticism. A fight was launched against him as chairman of the National com mission a year ago. For time It seemed almost certain that he would be deposed But there was no unanm- ity as to his successor and the fight dragged along so far into the spring that it was decided to let Hermann stay in the job for another season. It pays $12.500 annually.
 But through the present season charges have been made that Hermann has messed up things in a more hor- rible fashion than ever before; that Herman no longer reflects all the credit upon the job that he should. Furthermore. some of the baseball powers who were passive while the fight was made against him last win ter, are now opposed to him. As a result enough forces have. lined rp against Hermann to make it almost certain that if thev want to act against him they can depose him on the first vote
 Johnson and Hermann came into baseball power almost at the same time. It is a. coincidence that their grip on the game should wane to- gether. But there is 8 feeling among baseball people that the methods of Johnson and Hermann are methods obsolete in modern day baseball. They are leaders of an extinct past is ths belief of many.
 Aside from the big battle against Johnson and Hermann. there will oe some side issue affairs at the meet ings this winter that, promise to be

 This series so far has been some- thing of tip-off on the, American z league pitchers. The Sox hit million on the run of the season against their own ilk, and can't do thing against the hurling of the National leaguers.

 Moran and the Cincinnati fans believe that the full route will not have to be traversed.

Davis ruled that women may not
