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.

Umps—Johnstone and O'Loughlln 0 00000000000000000000000000 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 BACK ON EARTH AGAIN New York, Oct. 9.—Kid Lavfgne, the old time light weight champion, has decided to return to the ring, and has accepted the offer of AI Hereford of Baltimore, to meet Kid Sullivan next month. The weight conditions are 12$ pounds at 6 o'clock and the fighters are to get 60 .per cent of the gross re ceipts. They are to go twenty rounds.

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. The line-up: G. M. A.
