PEICESCENTa BALKAN AFFAIRS IP II POLITICAL NEWS ARTISTIC EVENTS CHAMPIONSH LABOR PREPARING COMMERCIALMEN L on GLOOMY Reports From Eastern Europe Have War like Tone and London is Pessimistic REPORT 0FF1RINGT0DAY Servia Seems Likely to Begin War Ganie in a Few Hours and Euro pean Capitals Are Very Pessimistic. Believed In London That Turkey Will Begin Hostilities in a Few Days Nicholas Recognizes King dom of Bulgaria Directions Have Been Given Austrian Troops to Guard Frontier. (By Cable to The Times) London, Oct. 9 Feeling in all European capitals has : become de cidedly pessimistic. This is partly due to the fact that Irresponsible lit tle Servia seems likely to begin the game of war within a few hours. Great Britain, and no doubt other continental countries has sent strong remonstrances to Belgrade, but pub lic passion throughout Servia is sol high that they will hang In the bal ance, but the scale is tipping the wrong way. .: In. the best informed circles here, It is fully expected that Turkey will begin hostilities within a few days. It is believed that the new Turkish regime will be compelled to resort to the use of force against Bulgaria. The Ottoman empire has lost Bul garia, Bosnia, Herzgeovina, and Crete within a week. It can expect no effective help from the powers. There are small .chances that the much-talked-of international confer ence can now materialize. Austria naturally objects to the conferenco idea, ualess review of her action in Bosnia and Herzegovina be excluded. Germany will support Austria. This attitude alone would make a confer nce impossible. Servian Bands Forming. (By Cable to The Times) j Buda Pest.

GAME IN DETROIT (By Leased Wire to The Times) Detroit, Mich.," Oct. 9 The series between the Chicago Cubs, who won the pennant of the National League yesterday, and the Tigers for the world's championship will begin In Detroit tomorrow, Saturday. Six games were arranged by the national commission in session at Cincinnati, and the second, the Sunday game, will be played in Chicago. Now that the national championship has been won, and the Cubs for the third suc cessive time are winners, the fans throughout the country are figuring out the winner of the world's cham pionship series. Taking into consid eration the runaway race the Chi cago's made of the series with Detroit last year, not a few are under the impression that they will once more do the trick by walloping the Tigers, who again face the Cubs for the world's championship. On the other hand, the followers of the Detroits are confident of a victory as the Tigers are in a much better physical condition to battle for the honors this year. That this is apparent can be seen by the great finish Jenning's aggregation made. It is almost a foregone conclus ion that much will depend on the pitchers of both teams. Th6 Chl cagos wll look to Brown, Pfeister and Reulbach to land the flag for them, while Detroit places its faith in Donovan, Mullln and Killian. ' All these stars have, been much worked during the season, owing to the battle royal for the honors, and its nothing more than a toss up be tween them. The series for the world's cham pionship began in 1903 when Bos ton, of the American League, and Pittsburg were opponents, the hon ors going to Boston, Boston winning five out of seven games played. ' There was no series In 1904, owing to some disagreement between the Giants, winners of the National, and Boston, winner of the American flag. The Giants won the world honors in 1905, beating the Athletics four games out of five. The series was most interesting, inasmuch as each victory for the winner was a white wash for the loser. - The White Sox beat the Cubs for the honors In 1906, while the Cubs won from Detroit last year.

T1TLET0PENNANT MAY BE TAINTED (By SAM CRANE.) New York, Oct. 9 The Chicago Cubs are the champions of the Na tional League as history will so re cord, and they surely outclassed the Giants yesterday In what the league politics decided was the decisive same..':-.; But the Giants won the pennant on Wednesday, when they defeated the Bostons in the last game of the sea son as originally scheduled. There is no doubt in the world that the Cubs are a better team than the Giants, but that does not say that the Giants are not the rightful chain plons. There have been many accidental champions in baseball, as the say ing goes, but "accident" did not fall the Giant's way this season, simply because National League politics have superseded true sportsmanship. The Cubs will be acknowledged as champions, but their title Is tainted and New York lovers of baseball will never acknowledge them as the veal and true winners of the pennant.
