Oct. .-The wovld "e rles garpes will be staged, both it New York and Boston, . In theaters of the new steel and concrete type which neariy half of the major league cities now boast of and which others are fast copying for the safety and convenience of spectators. The building of those permanent homes for base ball is repeatedy pointed to as an index to the stability of the national game. The New York National league club claims .to have eclipsed all other nisjir league cities ' in this respect with Its mammoth stadium at the Polo grounds, at the hollowed' base of Coogan's rocky bluff, at the north of the city. This will be the sctne this year of 'a world series contests for a second consecutive time. In Boston, -the ' American league pennant winners ..boost of a fine structure, but of smaller proportions, erected early this year at Fenway park in the back bay sec tion of the city. The historic Polo grounds, home of the Giants, Is expected to provide this year for a ' greater crowd of spectators tlpn eVer wljn4set Bill'garhe before." . The world's record was established there at the open! tig last fall, when In an Incom pleted state the ampltheater was crowded with 38,281 persons by actual count at the gates. U v", ' " 1 i The great stadium has since been com pleted, and will now seat comfortably a crowd as large ' as last year, at which several? thousand persons stood. The main structure Is In the shape of a horse shoe of steel and concrete, curving around more than 'half the "field, snd having double decks, seating in individual chairs over 23,000 persons.' In addition to this. bleacher-Seats accommodate 15,000. The structure which the Boston Ameri can hoys in Fenway park is also of the fireproof and " modern-convenience type, but "a; single-decked affair, seating about ll,06o in the main stand. "It was built with the idea ' that ' an ' upper tier might be added later If needed, but this was not' attempted for the world series. A'temporkry addition, to accommodate about 3,000 persons, has been made to the grand 'stand, : and' temporary seats pro vided ahVd' between center and right field bleachers ' to accommodate about 3,000 also.

Advertise NEW YORK, Oct 1-Tha official con clusion of the major league schedule to day clears tho decks for the world's championship combat. The pennant win ning clubs, the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans, cleaned . their slate yesterday and have today and to morrow to rest , up for the first of the big games In New York on Tuesday,. The prediction rr.sdo before every world series that the crucial games will be pitchers' battles usually proVws correct It was so last year with tho exception of one game and promises to be so this year. A championship struggle was never ap proached with keener Interest In the re liance placed upon the pitchers than is the case this year. In Boston yesterday they celebrated the twenty-third anni versary of the birth of Joseph Wood, a date which has generally passed un noticed In previous years, but on this occasion it marks the official conclusion of a league championship race which for great part Is due to young Wood's phenomenal, pitching speed. A fortnight ago he completed a run of sixteen straight victories for the Boston - club, thereby equalling the American league record set this season by Waiter Johnson' of Wash ington. : , , Joe Wood's Smoke. . The. blinding speed ; with which. Wood winds up was one day described as "smoky" by a Boston enthusiast and It seemed so apt that the wdrd has booome his nickname. Although : one of ' the younger member of the . team he has been with Boston since 1808.. He came from Hutchinson, Kan., In 1907, which was . his first year lns professional base ball. He had nad a record of a. no-hit game there and soon after going to Bos ton his success as a big league Ditcher was assured, although Ray' Collins , was the Boston star at ..that time. It ' was really not until thtsi. year that Wood came into his own as the Idol of the Boston fan.-, , , , , Big Jeff toe Hope. Notwithstanding . that In Rube , Mar- quard New, York boasts a pitcher, who equalled the world's record by pitching nineteen consecutive victories in the early half of the last season,; the " local fol lowers appear to have -side-tracked both him and Mathewson, while acclaiming young Jeff Tesreau as the hero of the hour. Matched against the Boston star, is Tesreau of the same age; but his sue cessful career as a big league pitcher has virtually been confined to the latfcw half of the, last season. Tesreau is the only man In the Giants' lineup who was not wttti tho club in tho world's series struggle last - year. ' Mc- Aleer, now president ' Of t tho , Boston Americans, when manager of the , St. Louis Browns several years ago, was the first to give young Tesreau his, first big league trial when one of his scouts dis. covered him In the Trrf'.ey league In Mis. souri. The now president of the Boston club could see no hope In the lad's 'work and turned him back.. In 1908 he was tried out bv the Detroit Americans, but failed. . . ' . ; -, ' Experleaee la Sooth. He shifted around among five different Texas clubs until McOraw - discovered him In Shreveport a year ago last spring and added him to his string of recruits. Instead of making use of him. however, McGraw farmed him. out to Toronto. It was there that Tesreau showed his first promise, and by the' end of the season he was hailed as on "of the best pitchers lh the Eastern league, having mastered the art of the "spit ball." , McGraw re called him, only to be disappointed in his wlldness the first of the season, but by midsummer he regained confidence in the young pitcher and has since - been re warded with the sensational capture of many crucial games. With ; seventeen games won to ..ftvo ., loot, M . tho season closes, ' Tesreau stands at' an average higher than any of his colleagues on the Giants' pitching staff.' McGraw considers him tho peer of Ed Walsh, tno lamous "spit ball" pitcher of the Chicago Amer icans. If he keep his control he will un doubtedly be given the greater part of the box work for New York In tho world series. ' . ' ' "" Veteran Favorites AHto. Tho acclaim of ; Tesreau and Wood, however, has not. altogether overshad owed the older favorito either here or In Boston. Tho veteran; Mathewson Is still steady and effective with , a , fadeaway ball as his specialty, and on tho wnoie is still tho mainstay in the OlanU' box. Rube : Marquard ; experienced' ; losing streak after his sensational run up to July 4, and came in for harsh criticism from some of the fans. The only ex planation of bis strange slump is that ho gave way to the nervous strain of hi winning streak.
