CHICAGO. September 22.-White
Sox Park promises to be the only
warm spot in Chicago this afternoon.
A biting wind made overcoats popu-
lar this morning, but base ball bugs
likely will become "all het up when
the pennant-aspiring Nationals and
the White Sox clash at Charley Co
miskey's field in the first game of a
series of three that will conclude the
Washington teams Western trip.
Chicago folk are enthused almost
as much as fans of the National Capt.
tai by the great race Manager Stan
ley Harris team is making for the
American League flag.
The first-place club will not lack
rooters today. Weather supposed to
be of just the proper brand to bring
out Walter Johnson's best pitching is
on tap, so the topmost hurler of the
league will go to the slab in the in
augural tilt of the series. Walter
has faced the Sox three times this
season without being defeated. Mike
Cvengros, temperamental southpaw,
probably will adorn the mound for
the White SoX.
Mike has had but Indifferent success
against the Nationals. Twice this year
they have driven him to the showers,
and in other games his left-handed
slants have not been effective.
All the Nationals are in fine spirit,
and, except for a few minor ailments,
in splendid physical condition for the
last week of their drive toward the
pennant.
While Jez Zachary's pitching wing is
somewhat sore, he seems to have suf-
fered no ill effects from the game he
pitched yesterday, and very likely will
be able to hurl in one of the games
here. His record against the Sox Is
the best of the staff. SO Manager Har-
ris is particularly anxious to use the
southpaw during the series.

The land is entirely devoid of

Corro oboration of the theory of scien-
