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 KID LAVIGNE COMES’ ' BACK ON EARTH AGAIN BOTH STRONG ON DEFENSIVE AUBURN AND MARYVILLE P|_* Y FAST GAME, BUT NEITHER SIDE COULD SCORE. Special to The Georgian.

The line-up: Georgia Military Academy and Don aid Fraaer school teams met In the first prep school game of the Atlanta season Monday afternoon and the G. M. A. team won by the decisive score of 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 new football” or the old. But most of 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.
