Chicago, Sept 3. Bright, cloudless
v ' sky, with a bracing wind sweeping
out of the northeast is the weather
forecast for the opening game of the
wartime world' series between the
Chicago Nationals and the Boston
... Americans at Comiskey park at' 2:30
o clock tomorrow. 'Everything is set
tonight for the initiat combat Each
team is supremely confident of event
ual triumph and the players are in
perfect physical condition.
Manager Mitchell of the Nationa!
league champions put his" players
through an hour of batting drill at
; Comiskey park this afternoon and
taoered off the final practice with a
spirited fielding workout. The play-
Ners limbered up m .dashing form and
Mitchell left the field satisfied,
i To Proceed Today.
The Red Sox reached Chicago from
the east too late to engage in practice,
and Manager Barrow sent them to
bed early. The American league pen-
pant winners are quartered at a hotel
within a short distance of the -parte
, and may take a brief workout to
loosen up their muscles tomorrow
morning. . .-.
-While neither of the rival leaders
would pick for publication the pitcher
selected for the test of the opening
frame, the Chicago pilot said he ex
pected to start a left bander either
Vaughn or Tyler. 1
"Vaughn and Tyler will both warm
, tip,"Mitchell said, "and the one that
appears to be in the better shape will
be selected. Kllleter will do tne catcn
ing, so I am certain to have a strong
battery. Naturally, I feel confident
the Cubs will win the series. I base
my conclusion on the fact that e
have the better ball club. '
Bush or Ruth. 1 '
Manager Barrow declined to give
any hint, in regard to his probable
pitching selection, but the bleacherites
', guessed that "Bullet Joe" Bush would
be chosen, with second choice, falling
, to "Babe" Kuth.
j , "The best thing I can say is that
' the Red Sox are ready for a fight, and
' I, of course, feel certain that we shaH
; bag the championship, Barrow sam.
"1 realize that we are playing a won
derful team. The games I think will
J be close and will arouse more interest
than is expected."
' Interest in the series has not proved
one-half as great as in former years
' and there will be no protest that
tickets have fallen into the hands of
; scalpers which was the cry last year
; when the White Sox and Giants
! clashed, " ' ,

MURRAY WINS
TENUIS TITLE IN
STRAIGHT SETS
California Marvel Becomes
' Ranking American Player
1 1' of Season by Defeat
ing Tilden.
Forest Hills, Sept. 3. The name of
R. Lindley Murray today was added
to the list of California tennis players
who have won the national singles
championship on turf, when he cap
tured the 1918 title by defeating W. T.
Tilden, jr., Philadelphia, in straight
sets by scores of 6-3; 6-1; 7-5. Play
ing in the final and championship
round on the courts of the West Side
club, the California meteor won the
first national tennis championship
tournament since 1916. Fifty-five
minutes of court battle proved that
Murray is the ranking American
player of the season.
Following the footsteps of Maurice
E. McLoughlin, who won in 1912
and 1913, and William M. Johnston,
the title holder in 1915, . Murray
showed the same well-rounded game
and confidence that marked the play
of his predecessors. His victory was
the more remarkable because he had
not played serious tournament tennis
until about ten days ago when,' after
receiving a vacation from the muni
tions plant where he is employed as a
chemist he made his appearance at
Southampton and . later at F.orest
Hills Tilden, owing to his improver
ment and greater tournament prac
tice this year, was expected by many
to, prove Murray's master. ,The Cali-
tornian. playing from the Niagara
Falls. N. V.; Tennis club, proved that
even in the short space of time al
lotted to him for practice he could
reach the heights of court skill and
strategy that proved so bewildering
to Tilden.
The Philadelolrtan -desoite his
wizardy of cut strokes and '.court
covering. ability,1 was unable to check
for any lcnKth of time Murray's
march to the championship. Tilden
was handicapped by a boil on his
ankle which seriously interfered with
his footing. Murray, used smashing
tactics at times, but so skillfully in
terspersed them with chopped fore
court strokes, lobs and side line pass
es that : Tilden was constantly un
balanced by the versatility of the at
tack. '(- ;- ,
In addition, Murray always had the
reserve of his terrific service. He
used 'this at times with deadly ef
fect, as is shown by the stroke an
alysis, which credits him with 15
service aces to Tilden s four.
Makes Many Errors.
In the face of the constantly shift
ing scheme of offense, Tilden madej
many, errors and seldom appeared
to rise to the full heicht and power
of his game. Occasionally he would
bring applause ..from the gallery of j
several thousand spectators by rip
ping returns across the court or deep
to the base lines, but thev were
flashes only. Murray from his posi
tion at the net even in these rapid-
fire exchanges always worked with
the skill and deliberation of a mas
ter; and the steadiness with whkh
he made impossible appearing gets
and returns of lightning-like strokes
appeared to take the heart from Til
den's play. It was the latter's un
steadiness in netting and cutting the
ball at critical moments that really
cost him the championship, for he
actually outplayed Murray in a num
ber of his killing aces: Murray never
appeared to be worried by these re
markable streaks of play on Tilden's
part, and continued to carry out his
plan of campaign as though the out
come was never in doubt. Repeated
ly he went after returns to the very
extremes of the boundary and by
marvelous stroking would bring the
ball back into play with such persis
tency that Tilden would' finally lose
the point on the simplest appearing
kind of error.
Murray's supremacy was further
demonstrated by the fact that of 28
games played, only six were carried to
deuce, and the manner in which he
disposed of Tilden in less than one
hour of play was a further demon
stration of his superiority.

New Fish Car One of the
State Fair Attractions
Lincoln, Sept 3. (Special) The
Nebraska fish commission has a new
fish car built especially for the needs
of the fish industry in this state. It
is an all-steel car 78 feet long and
eauioDed with sleeping apartment,
kitchen and ,dming room and electric
lights. Ihe main part ot the 'car
is equipped with steel tanks for carry
ing fish and the car is fitted with air
pressure pipes for furnishing air to
the fish when the car is not running
Besides having end entranced it is
fitted with side doors for unloading
and loading at stations.
The car is on exhibition on the rail
road spur which runs into the fair
grounds and is a beauty, attracting
much attention. "Nebraska State
Fish Commission" appears upon the
car above the windows, while the car
is named "Angler."
The fish buildinz this vear at the
fair grounds is, as usual, drawing
crowds and the fact that the commis
sion had a car in which it could han
dle the fish in transportation safely,
has enabled the commission to bring
in a much more interesting exhibit
of the finny tribe.
Game Warden George Koster and
Fish Commissioner O'Brien are in
charge of the exhibit with other mem
bers of their departments.
