Chicago braced for possible World Series defeat to Cleveland

CHICAGO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Chicago Cubs fans were braced for the possibility that their baseball team's quest for its first World Series title in 108 years could come to an abrupt end on Sunday as police beefed up security around Wrigley Field ahead of a game that could clinch victory for the Cleveland Indians.

The prevailing mood among Chicago's long-suffering fans was quiet and somber after a heart-wrenching 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Indians the night before, leaving the Cubs with a 3-1 deficit in games in the best of seven Fall Classic.
