average weight of the visitors was
about 170 and that of the borne boys
about 160.
From the time Gordon kicked olt to
Mercer until the battle was over the
f ame was with Blake and hts men, and
ut for one sensational dash by one of
the Baptiste they had little chance to
, score during either the flret or second
half.
Aside from considerable fumbling,
Blake's boys played beautiful ball, and
It Is certain that they will be a hard
bunch to go up against with anything
like even odds. ,
Mercer has good material also, and
hwtth more practice and coaching Starr's
man will handle the pigskin to tne dls-
1 comfort of their opponents.
Starr, of Mercer, and Bean, of Tech,
were umpires and Roy BlounL of this

Chicago, III., Oct. 9s—Today begins
the struggle that will make the fa
bled battles of the ancients eeem like
the tame reading of the klndergarden,
and for It a general holiday has been
provided by the honorable lord* of the
council.
It le Chicago day—the day made fa
mous by Mrs. O'Leary’s cow thirty-five
years ago.
That In Itself Is something to cele
brate, but more Important than Chica
go day Is the fact that today the Cubs,
champions of the National League, and
the 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 and asked them to vote for a public
holiday to celebrate Chicago day every
city father realized '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 Al
derman Scully ever made, and every
one of hie associates envies him. The
motion was put and can-led with a
rousing cheer and many Tigers.
CHICAGO'S BIG DAY.
This Is the greatest day of baseball
Chicago has ever seen. Chicago 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 atter-
noon to fight for the championship of
the world.
The country from coast to co&at is
agog over the event. It Is attracting
as much attention to this city as any
other event ever held here.
The weather Is dark and cold and
the cold weather pitchers should be
right In their element.
The White Sox are supremely con
fident with their strong stuff of pitch
ers. The Cubs are like a clever, strong
man, when he sights a fight.
With tho, White Stockings, It Is a
question of getting, one or two rune,
and then keeping the other players
down to less, with their magnificent
defense.
With the Cubs, It Is a question of
getting started early and slamming
the ball around viciously.
Therefore, the question Is resolved
into this one sentence:
The Cubs are the more powerful on
SOME 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 thla to say of
the Cuba:
"That team Is the moot vicious
ever saw. It will win any game It
set out tb win by Its hitting,
believe It will smother the Sox.”
James McAleer, manager of the St.
Louis Americans, a man no less astute
than Is Clarke, had this to say of the
Sox:
• "Comtakey’e team la the grandest de
fensive playing club 1 ever saw. It
plays for one run and that Is all. Whan
It has that many It Is likely to beat
you. It Is my opinion that the Cubs
will be unable to break through the
defense of Jones and his players.”
President H. : C. Pulliam, of the Na
tional League, said:
"There Is nothing but confidence In
my make-up when It comes to picking
the Cubs. Given a fair send-off they
should take today’s game. It Is a won
derful team, and I can't see how they
can loee."
President Ban Johnson, of the Amer
ican League, said:
"I have not changed my mind about
the White Sox winning the serlee, and
It looks to me as If they would begin
turning the trick by taking the first
game. They .are strong In all depart
ments, and although It will be no run
away race, the Sox will be there at the
finish.”
KID LAVIGNE COMES

Donald Fraser Defeated By -
Georgia Military Academy
Georgia Military Academy and-Don-
nld Fraser 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
It was old-fashioned football from
the first klck-otr to the last down. If
any man on either team made a for
ward past It must have been a mis
take. For no man tried It. Of course,
the on-slde kick forces Itself on the
teams, whether they want to play tt>e
"new football” or the old. But most of
the kicks mode Monday afternoon were
long and low, and neither side took any
advantage of the new rules by getting
under their own punts.
The Georgia Military Academy team,
though made up almost exclusively of
men who had never before seen a llne-
played first-class ball. They hit
the line hard and low, ran ends with
good Interference and proved quite
conclusively that Coach Bob Patterson
has taught them a bunch of football.
If they would loosen up a bit, with the
forward pass and the like, as Coach
Patterson says they will In their later
games, they will make It entertaining
for any teams of their class which they
tackle this year.
The Donald Fraser team, though out
classed In weight and strength, played
a plucky game. The boys got into
the plays of the G. M. A. team and
did their best to break them up. On
offensive they had little chance, for
their line seldom held, and some of the
G. $1. A. players usually got through
and smashed up their plays before they
were well started. They never gave
up. however, and they were playing
as hard and as gamely when the last
whistle blew ns when the first sounded.
Dotey, right half, for G. M. A., was
the wonder of the day. His work In
advancing the ball was something un-
A. back field was strong and the line
did good work.
The game was played In good time;
there were.no Injuries and the playing
was clean and Interesting. A good-
slsed crowd of supporters of both teams
were out for the game.
