CHICAGO READY FOR OPENING OF WORLD'S SERIES
CHOCAQO, Sept. 3. Chicago la ready for its war-time world series, which will open at Comiskey Pari, the scene of the 1917 championship games, Wednesday afternoon. The playing field was covered Tiiesday night with a huge canvas to protect it from a drenching rain. The rival teams, finishing their season In the East Tuesday, are speeding toward Chicago for the final practice tomorrow. Manager Fred Mitchell, of the Cubs, will direct his players through a spirited work-out at Comiskey Park in the afternoon, so they will become familiar with the grounds. The main purpose of the practice is to train an Idea of the light conditions. Members of the Boston Club will be quartered at a hotel near the park and also will take a final work-out, but the American League champions already are familiar with the field's peculiarities. The Red Sox, if they arrive from Boston in time, will take their final practice after the Cubs have finished. Otherwise Manager Barrow probably will send his players through a warming up exercise Wednesday morning. The steady demand for reserved seats has convinced Walter Craighead, business manager of the Chicago Nationals, that few will remain to be placed on sale on the opening day of (he series. From all indications the 17,000 box and reserved seats will be sold before to-morrow night. The 15.000 general admission tickets will not be placed on sale until the day of fach game. William Veeck, who is in charge of the press arrangements, announced that press tickets will be available at the National League club headquarters at the Congress Hotel tomorrow morning. Games will start at 2:30 p. m. each day. Yesterday's Games YESTERDAY'S RESULTS American League. At New York, 1st game R. H. E.

StlclOJ1 V JACK REENE As we have said before, Babe Ruth's
! hitting will be watched in the world's series. Ruth's tremendous batting power is due to several important reasons. In the first place, he likes to hit the ball. Then again, he is a young giant and can land on a ball with wonderful strength. Furthermore, he possesses confidence. He doesn't believe that any pitcher can fool him. Having no fear while standing at the plate, he relishes the chance of swinging at fast balls. Ruth has keen eyesight. He is able, therefore, to pick out the good ones. He seldom goes after the bad ones, and can hit anything that comes over the plate between the knee and the shoulder. There isn't a doubt that nearly all of the enemy pitchers are afraid of Ruth, which is a valuable point in his favor. It is worth the price of admission to see this husky hit the pill. Connie Mack has always been a wizard in developing ball players, and his many successes in the American league were due to his ability to drill his players in the fine points of the game, both on offense and defense. Three vivid examples of Mack's uncanny way of handling players can be found on his club this year. . One of these players is George Burns, the first baseman secured by Mack from Detroit through a deal with the Y'ankees. Under Jennings Burns never advanced beyond the stage of an average good ball player. But this year Burns is playing the best ball of his career as a member of the Athletics under Mack. He Is fielding in better form than ever before, and his hitting has increased until today he ranks with the sluggers of the American league. ! Clarence Walker, the outfielder, is a player of nearly six years' major league experience, yet never until this season, in three years with St. Louis and two with the Red Sox, has he shown the class he is now showing. Scott Perry, the pitcher over whose possession Mack and George Stallings had such a fine little row, is another player who developed under Mack's tutelage. Perry used to be one of the care-free sort who did not keep in the best of shape, and Stallings pasesd up this player as a poor prospect. But after AlacK aeveiopea hi mthe Boston club wanted mm Daaly, which only goes to show what Mack can do with a player. An interesting insight into the English conception of baseball is given in an article in the London Field, which says in part: "Americans have never taken kindly to cricket, which they think much too slow a game for their temperament, and their humorous writers are never tired of describing in a mostj good natured way the little failings and peculiarities of our national game. Curiously enough. Englishmen also think that baseball is too slow a game for their temperament, and although probably very few of them could give a good reason for this idea the actual cause is not far to seek. "Baseball is admittedly a game of bluff, and the most audacious and ingenious bluff of all is to give the title , of 'inning' to what is nothing more 'inning' by its real title, 'over and all the hustle of baseball disappears immediately. It will seem almost increditible to English cricketers, but it is a fact, as attested in the Daily Mail j in an analysis of the July 4 game by an American baseball journalist, that although in the course of the game something like 250 balls were thrown a matter of forty-odd overs in cricketthe safe hits numbered only eight two by the army and six by the navy. A few other hits were made, which were so poor that they got a man out, and a few others in the nature of cricket snicks or 'corner strokes' were of no advantage to the batter, since they were behind the boundary line. "The snick or corner stroke' is undoubtedly the most spectacular hit in baseball indeed, it is practically the only spectacular stroke except the School-Teacher Needed Brains T never have had such a 'God-send' come to me as when I took the first dose of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. I was afraid I would have 'to give up mv school because of severe stomach, liver and bowel trouble which caused such a pressure of gas that I could not use my brain at times, and my heart would palpitate awfully. Since taking a treatment of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a year ago, all this has disappeared."

In making the stroke the batsman slogs as usual with a horizontal bat, and getting just under the ball sends it at a very great pace to a tremendous height behind him, and sometimes to a considerable distance."

MAKES QUICK WORK OF FRECKLES Here's good news for freckle faced folks. A chemist who used to have a large crop of freckles, kept trying one! thing after another to remove the hlamfchca Flnollv Via BTnorimantail wJth danthol tetrate a drug that has very few uses. As a result, he found what is probably the quickest way to clear the skin of freckles, tan and other discolorations. Any freckle victim can test this method by getting an ounce of danthol tetrate from any leading druggist. Apply it with the finger tips. The skin seems to absorb it quickly, and it is harmless and pleasant to use. Some people have been perfectly amazed to find how quickly this chases the freckles away. It costs so little that any one can try it Adv. PRICES Main Floor, 22c 3c tax. Balcony, 13c 2c tax. Children, 9c 1c tax. Matinee All seats 13c 2c tax except Saturday, Sunday and Holidays.

THE IDEAL WIFE One of the most successful men of this country recently wrote: "Whatever I am, and whatever success I have attained, I owe it all to my wife. She has ever been an inspiration and the greatest helpmate of my life." To be such a successful wife should be the ambition of every woman, but how impossible when dragged down by headaches, backache, dragging-down pains, nervousness and "the blues." Every woman in this condition should start at once to build up her system by a tonic of specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for three generations has been restoring American women to health and consequent happiness. Adr.
