That is the big question.
It might be Pete Wynn, or Samuel

bly It would be all right.
But If this Wynne proves to bo our
old friend Frank Wynne, of Memphis,
then wo rise to remark that Frank—

average weight of the visitors was

About 190.
From the time Gordon kicked off to
Mercer until the battle was over the
game was with Blake and his men, and
but for one sensational dnsh by one of
the Baptists they had little chance to
•core during either the flrst or second
bait.
Aside from considerable fumbling,
Blake’s boys played boautlful ball, and
It la certain that they will be a hard
bunch to go up against with anything
like even odda.
Mercer hae good material also, and

men will handle the pigskin to the dis
comfort of their opponents.

PYNCHON IS BUILDING
NEW STYLE OF SLOOP.
Providence, R. I„ Oct. 9.—Work on
the construction of a 57-toot sloop for
Oeorgo M. Pynchon, of the New York
Yacht Club, has been begun In the
shops of the Hereschoff Company at
Bristol. In the building of the boat Mr.
Pynchon Is desirous of helping the
amateur side of the snort.
The lines of the craft are Intended
to do away with many of the perplexi
ties which are connected with the out-
and-out nicer. It will have a steel
frame and wooden sheathing and Is
expected to be speedy.
H. F. Llpplt, owner of the Westamoe,
Is also having a craft of the same sort
built.
This class Is known ns "K" and con
sists of single stick yachts with a rat
ing measurement from 49 to 57 feet.
Chicago, III., Oct. 9.—Today beglna
the struggle that will make the fa
bled battles of the ancients seem like
the tame reading of tho klndergarden.
and for It a general holiday has been
provided by (he honorable lorda of the
council.
It Is Chicago day—the day made fa
mous by Mrs. O'Leary's cow thlrty-nve
years ago.
That In Itself Is something to cele
brate, but more Important than Chica
go day Is the fact thnt today the Cubs,
champions of the National league, and
tho White Sox, champions of the
Americans, open their series for the
baseball championship of the world.
When Alderman Jack Scully stood
up before his brothers of the city coun
cil nnd asked them to voU for a public
holiday to celebrate Chicago day every
city father realised that for once In
the history of Chicago Mrs. O’Leary's
bovine would have to take a second
place.
It .was the most popular motion A1
derman Scully ever made, and every
one of his associates envies him. The
motion was put and carried with
rousing cheer and many Tigers.
CHICAGO'8 BIG DAY.
This Is the greatest day of baseball
Chicago has ever seen. Chlcngo has
an honor no other city ever had be
fore, an honor no other city may have
In years to come.
It has two championship baseball
teams, and they are to meet this after
noon to light for the championship of
the world.
The country from coast to coast Is
agog over tho event. It is attracting
ns much attention to this city as any
other event ever held here.
The weather Is dnrk and cold and
tho cold weather pitchers should be
right In their element.
Tho Whlto Sox arc supremely con-
fldent with their strong/staff of pitch
ers. The Cubs are like a clever, strong
man, when he sights a light.
With the White Stockings, It Is a
question of getting one or two runs,
nnd then keeping the other players
down to less, with their magnificent
defense.
With the Cuba It Is a question of
getting started early and slamming
tho ball around viciously.
Therefore, the question Is resolved
Into this one sentence:
The Cubs are the mdre powerful on
attack; the Sox more powerful on de
fense.
80ME EXPERT OPINIONS.
Fred Clarke, manager of the Pitts
burg team, one of the craftiest man
agers In the world, who is In Chicago
to see the series, had this to say of
the Cubs:
“That team Is the most vicious I
ever saw. It will win any game It
set out to win by Its hitting. I
believe It will smother the Sox'.”
James McAleer, manager of the 8L
Louis Americans, a man no less astute
than Is Clarke, had this to say of the
Sox; ,
“Comlskey’s team Is the grandest de
fensive playing club I ever saw. It
plays for one run and that Is all. When
It hus that many It Is likely to beat
you. It Is my opinion that the Cubs

first prep school game of the Atlanta
season Monday afternoon and the G. M.

26 to 0.
It was old-fashioned football from
the first kick-off to the last down. If
any man on either team made a for
ward pass It must have been n mis
take. For no man tried It. Of course,
the on-side kick forces itself on the
teams, whether they want to play the

the kicks m&le Monday afternoon were
long and low, and neither side took any'
advantage of the new rules by getting
under their own punts.
