Nobody ever thought a 15th game would be needed! When the October 7th game was rained out, it was never rescheduled! When people realized the Sox might tie the Series, it was too late! Game 15 to be played at West Side Grounds Cubs refuse to play the game
Sox Proposals Play games 14 & 15 as Oct. 14 doubleheader   Play game 15 in the morning on October 15		Cub Responses A double header would have been absurd It was difficult to play as long as they did Tinker was getting married in Kansas City Kling was going to KC to attend the wedding Note: Both men insisted on going to KC
Media Response Cubs insist they lived up to original letter    of agreement governing the series! Cubs lose more prestige refusing to play than they would have by playing and losing! Fans want to see series played to a finish! Result: Hart's team lost many admirers!		Why the Sox would have won game 15 The Cubs had no pitching! Wicker had gone home sick Taylor had proved an easy mark after game 1    Weimer had a sore arm Lundgren had pitched game #14 Too bad they didn't have Currie!
