The coming series between the Chicago White Stockings and the St. Louis Browns is attracting more attention than any recent event in base ball circles, and I believe the contest will be the most exciting of any yet held. Admirers of the national game in each city are backing their favorites with their cash, and it is said there is more money at stake now upon the result of the series than ever placed in the same way before. The Browns will do their level best to bring the world's pennant back to St. Louis again this year, and are in splendid shape for the contest.
