TIME first game of the 1928 world
series will be played in the park
of the club winning the Amer
lean League championship on
Thursday, October 4, 1t was

The second game will be played on
the same grounds on the following DAY
and the next three games will be held
at the National League park. The
teams will return to the american
League park for the sixth and seventh
games, If they should be necessary.
The series will be the best four out OF
seven games and admission prices will
range from 81 to $3.50.
The holding of the first game on
a Thursday is a departure, as 1t has
been customary to open the world
series on the first Wednesday after
the closing of the regular season. The
shift was made at the request OF the
Yankees, who stated that since their
race with the Athletics was so close.
preparations for handling huge crowds
would have to be made at too short a
notice for them to do 1t properly. Just
week ago Sunday the Yankees &C
commodated $4,000 for their double
header with the Athletics, and 1t is
very probable that in the event that
the New York team wins similar crowds
will storm the stadium for the first two
games of the series.
AS Also Have Problem.
The Athletics will confront the same
difficulty, although on smaller scale.
Pre-supposing that the Yankees and
Athletics battle up to the final game
of the season, Sunday, September 80, a
Wednesday opening would give the win
ming team only two days in which to
get tickets in the mail and make all
its other preparations. Superstition
forbids a team from anticipating the
world series until the pennant is mathe-
matically clinched.
No matter whether the Yankees or
Athletics triumph, the first and second
games will be played Thursday and
Friday, october and 5. If the Giants
win in the National League race the
third, fourth and fifth games will be
played at the Polo Grounds on Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday with the sixth
game at the American League ball park
on Tuesday. If the Pittsburgh Pirates
are the National League winners the
third, fourth and fifth games will be

and Tuesday, with the sixth game at
either New York or Philadelphia on
Wednesday.
In the event that either the st.
Louis Cardinals or the Chicago Cubs
prove to be the National League entry

be played in st. Louis or Chicago, as
the case may be. on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, Saturday being allowed
for travelling. The sixth game will be
in the American League park on Thurs
day. Wednesday being open for Journey
ing.
If rain or bad weather halts any
contest before it has gone long enough
to be considered a regulation game, all
the succeeding dates will be postponed
until that game be played.
