This Sporting
 World
Series Getting Serious
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

With the gents from the Windy City whose wind Overpowered their judgment now satisfied that the Cubs couldn't sweep the series in four straight games, despite Wed- nesday's so shutout, the 1885 world championship got down to something approaching normalcy to-day at Wrigley field. That Is, the series was all even early in the afternoon ,one team as good az the other two star pitchers ready for action, and all signs except one pointing to normal resumption of the worlds diamond classic.
 The one untoward sign was di- rectly across from the park, hang ing, off part of a gasoline station and proclaimed World Series Tickets Bought, Sold and Ex- changed." That announcement meant nothing in particular to fans who had the precious paste boards, but it was a red flag be- fore the bulls of the U. s. inas- much as the announcement in that manner was a direct violation of federal and state laws. But that's Chicago, which has had scant re- spect for lows of any kind since the pre-Capone era. Tickets worth $19.60 are going for $50 to $60 with box seats for three games at $75t to $100.. It's the Baer-Louis thing all over again, and with trimmings-usually to the baseball mad fans, who were wondering if their Cubs would stay in first di- vision, less than three months ago. Yowsah, the series is getting seri- ous, with to-day's game the bal ance of power, as the winner should come through. =,

THREE NEW MEN
 FOR GERMANS IN
 SUNDAY CONTEST
Turner's Soccer Club to Meet Swedes of Bridge
 port at Hamilton Park

Facing one of the best teams In the Amateur Soccer league the German Americans of the Turner's society will play their first game at Hamilton park against the Swedish amateurs of Bridgeport Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 With the practice game against the Sam Rocco club of Norwich last Sunday under their belts the lccal coaches have announced that three well known soccer players will make their first local ap- pearance with the German Amer jeans this coming Sunday. The ad- dition of these players will put the local team on par with any team in the league. The game last week provided the local mentors with an opportunity to refine the local setup. They believe that the present lineup of all local players will give the soccer fans of Water bury a fine team when the season progresses.
 Good Ump
 Word has been received from Joe Booth the secretary of the league, that MT. Jeffry of of Thomaston will officiate in his usu- al manner which means that the whistle usually gets plenty of rest.
 Steve Blower, James Ross and Frederick Wiedorn, the three To- cal coaches request that all of the members of the Soccer club who expect to play be at the soccer workout tonight at the Turn hall at 1i81 North Main street. The invita- ton is also extended to any other soccer players in the vicinity of Waterbury to be present. This IS important as the club is anxious to form a junior club to play in the intermediate league and the club needs about six more players to complete the roster of the new club.

 Chicago, Oct 4-Thoughts while thawing out: 1t was silly for me to pay train fare from Detroit tC Chicago for the third game of ths world series, for when I left Ma win field yesterday, any packing plant would have been glad to lei me ride along as 8 preservative 1T a barrel of shrimp. A friend o1 mine got here that way and re- ported he didn't lose a shrimp but that several caught pneumonia from being too chummy with him .all of the press box Eskimof but one agreed that yesterday wal the coldest world series game in history. .. The lone objector held out for an afternoon in 1907, but it was later discovered he had his dates mixed and was thinking of the raw afternoon Napoleon was snow-ba1led out of Moscow. j. One newspaper, whose representa- tive ran out of cold serum and passed out Cor did he have toe much anti-cofd serum) has wired Robert w. Service, Sam McGee. Dan McGrew, and the guy who was hitting rag-time tune when Dan came in, to cover the con- cluding games. :. They wanted the lady known as Lou to do the sob sister work, but women aren't allowed in the press box. =. which is the best break the ladies' have had since suffrage. .... a
 A Little Help
 hope and pray that when the postman rings twice at my door today he'll bring me some knit ted socks and a batch of wristlets from the loved ones at home. .. The wintry gale was blowing so hard at Navin field yesterday I blew a batch of stars off the Amer ican flag in centerfield, reducing the nation to the original thirteen states. Nobody was mad for even if 1t meant fighting the British again, 1t would have been something to warm you up. .., Weather like this is no good fol ones patriotic instincts, though. Two hours in the pressbox and one is liable to think George Washington was a sissy at Valley Forge for not taking a cold show CT and calisthenics before an oper window Speaking of Revolu' tionary days, if Button Gwinnett had been here he'd never have sold his signature. he would have wrapped 1t around his neck in an effort to keep that cold wind from going down his back....
 Other Angles ..
 The one redeeming feature of the afternoon was the northern lights that came bobbing up about the sixth inning. .. It's Q shame they didn't apear in the first in- ming, because Charley Root blew up so high he could have brought us first hand information on what they looked like up close. :. The band did its best to make every- body miserable by giving off such warming tunes as Jingle Bells and Skaters Waltz. Lone of the singer midgets out for the game froze so stiff he decided to capital Ize on his frigidity. .sprinkling some chocolate on his hand, he sold himself as a popsicle 20 times. ... N
 The only comfortable person in the press box was Babe Ruth's trained seal .. Admiral Byrd has been asked to umpire behind the plate if it's as cold today as 1t was yesterday. Byrd. 1t is un- derstood, accepted only on the con- dition that he would be allowed to claim the. ground in the name of the United States.

will Explode Beliegs

When Frank E. Smith, youthful globe e-trotter, shows his notion pictures on "Tte Home of Flu Man. chu" at the Methodist church this Sunday night at 7:45, some of the things that will be seen are apt to give an entirely new idea of the Orient ; to most of the audience. With humor that is punctuated with vivid truths, and with both panchromatic and color films, MT. Smith, explodes the impression that the Orient is breeding -place for Flu Manchu horrors. He returned only this fall from the Far Sast, and is at present taking graduate work at Yale University, which permits New England to hear this fascinat- ing young lecturer, who has already had considerable success on the Pacific Coast. Although this Sum- day he will show pictures of the Orient alone, he has personally visited over fifty foreign countries in Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America.
