With the two major league seasons fast drawing to a dose, speculation Is rife as to whether the world's series this year. If played, will draw as well as usual and arouse the enthusiasm of tha fans and fanettes as in seasons gone by.- Many of those dyed-ln-the wool fans who view the situation from neutral ground let's say. from' cities not involved In the prospective series- are inclined to mink it will ba but moderate success. Tha owners of tha clubs hovering around the top rung of the ladder in both leagues all appear confident that the two clubs lucky enough to be in volved will not ba disrupted during the series, and there ia every reason to be lieve the attendance and Interest will be nearly equal to that of past years. Contrary to general opinion, there Is still wide interest in baseball, de spite the trials and tribulations the National pastime has had sinca the start of tha world-wide conflict, and the world's series is still the blue- ribbon event in sportdom. With Boa- ton. In the American League, keyed up for a close finish, and the Chicago Cubs clinging tightly to first place in the National League, don't think for a moment that the cities of New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis and a few more of the big league towns are not going to show a lot of interest in tha coming classic. While a large number of the people who talk and play baseball are serv ing their country overseas, there is sure to be a large attendance at tha world's series. It has been demon strated this year that the fans will turn out in goodly numbers for a stel lan attraction, and the world's series is baseball's greatest attraction. Portland baseball fans and those of the Pacific Coast League will watch with interest the work of Charlie Hol- locher, Cub shortstop, who was a mem ber of the Portland Beavers in 1917. Hollocher has been playing a brilliant game for the Chicago Nationals and is regarded as the ind of the season Charlie Pick, last season with tha San Francisco Seals, is holding down third base for the Cubs, and Roll i a Zeider, former Seal shortstop. Is play ing second for Fred Mitchell's National League leaders. Portland has one of its former pitch ing stars with tha Boston Red Sox in the person of Carl Maya He has been one of the Red Sox mainstays this sea son, and may get a chance to hurl one or more of the games in the coming series.
