GIANTS AND YANKEES MAY NOT MEET IN
 POS SEASON CLASH

New York. Sept. 16-Ths action of John McC-aw in turning the Giants over to Matty for the remainder of the season may put the cold water on the proposed city series between the Giants and the Yankees. McGraw was not with the club when it played the Tanks in the last city series held here, that of 1914. However, in 1910 MIG Graw worked as hard during the city series as he ever did in a worlds series.
 It would, of course, be possible to hold a city series with McGraw run ming the club. But if the Giants en- tered the series without McGraw Ma tional League partisans in this city might decide that their team was not putting up its best front. For who is more valuable to the Giants than IdcGraw?

Eddie Cicotte is the White SoT Hope. Upon his broad shoulders and in the cunning of his pitching arm rests the burden of victory over the Reds in the impending worlds series between Chicago and Cincinnati Of course Gleason has Williams and Kerr and a fine fielding and batting cECre- gatiOn but CicOtte. like NIathewsOn in 1905, is the hope" of the worlds se- fries. Natty made good for the Giants by trimming the Athletics every time he started. Gleason doesn't expect that much. quite. of Ctcotte, but he does expect him to win Cicotte, since the series has been extended to nine games. may be called upon to win three out of five victories for the Sox. The remaining two will probably be assigned to Williams and Kerr. If the Reds beat Cicotte on Eddie's first start there will be no holding the
 Reds enthusiasm in check. On the other hand should Cicotte vanquish the Moranmen it will strengthen the
 Soxan belief that they have the
 mightiest pitcher of the series and
 that he will win every time he faces
 the Reds.
 Cicotte faces the same Gerculean task that Matty did for the Giants in 1905. NIatty was the Giant hope against Bender and WaddeIl, Plank
 and Coombs. Cicotte is the Soxan hope against EIler. Sallee, Ring, and Fisher.

 Once the squad is divided, the coaches itch for sCTiumages.

SERIES ID BE
 STARTED SEPTEMBER 30
Toss Of Coin Will Decide Where First Three Games ko
 to Be Played In Baseball Classic

New York, Sept 16-The worlds series will be started this year on Tuesday, Sept. 30. That was decided at the meeting of the National Com mission in Chicago week ago, though the announcement was with held at the time.
 Sept 30 originally was the date of the closing of the National League season. The Giants were scheduled to close at home on that date with the Philadelphia club, but that game has been moved forward to the pre- vious Sunday. The Western clubs of both leagues close shop on Sunday, Sept. 2S.
 The old system of tossing a coin to decide which club will draw the opening game age. n will be in vogue this year. Ii was dispensed with last year when the commission selected Chicago as the best city in which to open the series
 The club that gets the opening game this year will get such a de- cided aJvantagc that neither club is willing to give up it's chance for a home opening. The schedule will call for three games in the city lucky enough to draw the opening. Then three E-vecs will be played fin the second city. The schedule then calls for return to the first city for the sev. .rth game. If an eighth game is necessary it will go to the second city Then if the teams are dead locked at four victories apiece the clubs again will flip a coin and let chance decide
