Is the interest in the world's cham pionship aeries on the wane! Will the long playing season adopted by the National league affect both the receipt and the class of ball in this year's games? Many fans are pondering over these two questions. The facts upon which. they, base any deductions thej may make are as follows: , In 1900 , Pittsburg played its last game of the season In Cincinnati on Oct 7. Detroit finished its- schedule at Chicago on Oct 8. The playing season of the two leagues was as fol lows: v " rtm Last ' sam. ' cam. American league April 11 Oct. 4 National loafua April 14 . Oct. 1 The world's championship series be tween Pittsburg and Detroit began on Oct 8 at Pittsburg. The full seven games had to be played, and the last contest took place In Detroit on Oct 18. The schedules for this year are: - . First Last lami' rma. Amarlcan league April 14 Oct National league , April 14 Oct IS Athletics Will Have to Wait As the Cube and' the Athletics are the winners In their respective leagues, then the first game of the world's se ries could not be played before Sunday, Oct 16, which would be eight days after the close of Philadelphia's sea son. Stanley Robison, president of the St Louis Nationals, has stated that be will in no event release the Chicago team from Its late dates with bis club, nor will he allow the games to be dis posed of by playing them earlier in the season. . , This means that if it should become necessary to play the full seven games the series would not be completed be fore Oct 22. Moreover, that Is mak ing no allowance for such contingen cies as rain or the difficulties of suffi ciently speedy traveling between Chi cago and Philadelphia. It la more than probable' that iu thi erent of seven games the last contest would take place as late n (Vt. 24 or 25. Robi son Is not opt to rwwlt from bis pres ent attitude, uk he foujrht the longer season, while Murphy advocated It and Anally xwuivd It adoption. ' To show bow lute In the year these final game might come It is only nec essary to turn to the football sched ule. : On Saturday, Oct. 22. Tale plays Vanderbllt university, Harvard plays Brown. Princeton plays Holy Cross, and Pennsylvania plays Penn State. These are all mldseason games. Of course If two eastern or jtwo west ern teams were to come together the difficulties of traveling would be ob viated, but a series of this kind would also lack the universal Interest creat ed bj a competition between two dif ferent sections of the country. t Layoff Will Not Benefit Philadelphia. ' Also It seems a most unlikely culmi nation of the race of 1910. The fact remains that a week's .layoff will be apt to be of little benefit to Philadel phia American league champions. while the Nationals will either have to exhaust precious energy in a hairline finish or dull the edge of their top form by being obliged to play several drenr.v games which ft makes no dif ference to them whether tbey win or lose. V. - ' . ';; The fourth game of the Pittsburg Detroit series last year, played In Tl gertown on Oct 12. was contested on a frozen field, with the mercury below the freezing point all during the game. The series this year must probably begin fouV days later than the 12th. The series last year totaled $188,302.50. Of this amount $06,924.00 was the players' share, $102,547.35 went to the clubs, and the national commission got $18,830.25. The- games - drew $30,000 greater gross gate receipts than any previous world's contests. Could this year's se ries, considering the probable date of playing, weather conditions and the small chance of another seven game result draw anywhere near the same money? NL evening daddy began: "There Is an old rhyme which runs about as follows: Fat want of a. nail the ahoe was lot: For want of a ahoe ihe horsa waa lost; or want or a ban the rider vu lost; For want of a rider th kingdom wai lot "I am going to tell you tonight about another little thing that caused a great loss. Two men were at work la a shipyard building a ship. One of the men picked up a stick which had a tiny worm hole in It Although he could not see the worms, he knew that they were inside. 'Shall we use this stick In building the ship?" he said to the other workman, . '- "The other man was as careless as himself. 'Yes.' he said. 'Although It Is only a small stick, yet t do not like to lose It "Put It in. No one will ever notice those tiny worms.' So the ship was built with the wormy piece of wood. "For about ten years the ship sailed the ocean, and all seemed to be welL But all that time the worms were gnawing away at the ship's timbers until there were many holes In them, and the ship became weak and rotten and not able to' withstand the gales. . - , . , "l lnauy one day the ship was bomewsrd bound from China.' She had on board a very rich cargo of silks, teas, spices and other valuable roods. Ra. sides, there were several passengers on board, men, women and children, and a large number of sailors. One of the passengers' was none other than the man who had built the ship and had put in the wormy stick. The captain knew that the timbers of his ship were worm eaten, but he thought he could make Just one more voysge with her. ' . ; "Well, when they were In the middle of the ocean a great storm arose,! For a time the ship sailed on bravely, but the struggle was too much. She sprang leak, and the sailors were compelled to try to pump her out "For three days they pumped, with the passengers frightened almost to death, but It was in vain. The waters gained on the sailors and Anallv BUm ZL LvU vi Ik a'uiy.-i un wnen a nerce gust of wind struct? her she turned over and sank to the bottom with all the people and ail the rich goods. ' - "It all happened because of that one stick with the worms la it - If every piece of wood In the ship had been sound the vessel would have been able to fight against the storm, and the can who put in tie rotten piece of wood would not have lost his life."
