J Chicago, Sept 4. Prevented by
rain front staging1 the first game of
'. the world's series today, the Chicago
Nationals and Boston Red Sox spent
, the day under cover in preparation
for the game tomorrow, wntch,
... weather permitting, will inaugurate
the last struggle tor the premier
i' hase ball honors to be played during
Z the war. .
Fred Mitchell, manager of the
Cubs, and Manager Barrow of the
Boston club kept their legions closely
... segregated today, working out prob-
Z Jems of defense and attack prepara
tory to the opening round of the bat
tie tomorrow. Both leaders expressed
;A confidence of the outcome.
7 ' Shean Splits Finger.
The only outcropping of news
which enliehtened an otherwise dis
mat, gloomy session of the "hot
stove" league, lay in the injury to
J Dave , Shean, the Red Spx second
- baseman, who split the middle finger
or his throwing hand during prac
7 tice and who, it was said, may not
- appear in tomorrow's lineup. Jack
Coffey was picked to substitute for
Shean, with a possibility that Fred
"Thomas, who is on a furlough from
; the. Great Lakes naval training sta-
- tion, might be called into the fray
,,-to play third base. ,
August Herrmann, chairman of the
National Base Ball commission, en
, livened the hotel gossip with the an-
. nouncement that he expected the
"' series to net $25,000 for war charities.
, He said indications were that the total
receipts this year would approach a
quarter of a million dollars, to be
divided between the players, clubs,
leagues and commission with the
split for the runner tip and third and
fourth place clubs. Mr. Herrmann
based his estimate on the receipts of
. last year, which, in round numbers,
totaled $350,000.
"It is possible we may ask the sec
retary of war either to donate the
- fund to some single charity or to dis
tribute it among all recognized war
activities," said Herrmann. "It is tin
likely that the commission will take
upon itself the . distribution of the
.,: fundS. ; ' r-v r ': . ,
May Play on Sunday,
Possibilities of a Sunday garni in
Chicago loomed large today. Over
cast skies augured ill for tomorrow's
scheduled contest and ft was an
nounced that in the event of another
postponement or tie game the first
contest at Boston might be put over
until Tuesday and a game staged in
Chicago on September 8. The club
"-iwse.r were frankly in favor of this
, plan. ; v- .
"Big Jim" Vaughn, the most con
sistent winner of the Chicago Na
tionals this season, was a favorite
among the mound possibilities for to
morrow. It was admitted that the
choice of the Chicago twirlors was
between Vaughn and Tyler, both left
handers. Vaughn's prestige among
the fans was counted to overcome
whatever advantage might accrue to
Tyler as the result of previous world's
series experience.
Boston's choice for mound duty
was in doubt. Harry Frazee. presi
dent of the club, was authority for the
statement that whoever was chosen
it would not be "Babe" Ruth, inti
mating that Ruth's prowess with the
bat was considered a highly impor
tant factor in the series. It was be
lieved that Manager Barrow would
give Mays preference over "Bullet
Joe Bush, preferring to hold the lat
ter under wraps for use in case Mays

Greatest Thrills Provided . in
2:04 Pace Won by Judge
Ormond Under Lash in
Straight Heats.
Hartford, Conn., Sept 4. There
was scarcely a heat in today's Grand
Circuit racing card at Charter Oak
park which included the $5,000 Battle
Royal for 2:06 trotters, that did not
end in a hair-raising finish, in near
ly every instance the horses being
neck and neck when they passed un
der the wire. The greatest thrills
were provided in the 2:04 pace, which
Judge Ormond won in straight heats,
ut finishing under Crozier's lash on
each occasion. The lead changed
several times during the heats, but
Judge Ormond displayed the neces
sary reserve power on each occasion
when called upon.
The Battle Royal, won by Ima Jay,
owned and driven by Harvey Ern
est, was all that the name implied.
Cox's Lassie took the first heat with
Ima Jay, who cast a shoe, finishing
second. Ernest's horse went to the
stable for repairs and came back to

race in impressive style.
The heats of the 2:13 trot were well
contested. Boquita Girl won the
opener, but could do no better than
fifth in the second, while Minnie Ar
thur, seventh in the first heat, cap
tured the second. The third went to
Minnie Arthur in a driving finish,
giving her the race.
The disputes arising over the close
finishes of the big field in the 2:15
trot on Tuesday's card were adjusted
to the satisfaction of all concerned
today when the Connecticut Fair as

pay purses to all winners as origin

winners who had inadvertently bean

too, as I was continually having boils.

I hardly know when to stop eating
