SHOWS How the Attendance Fell

! chicago, Dec 1S.-Work has been
started on the improvements to be

task of charging the grandstand and
putlIns IN 1000 more box seats is going
20 cost about $4,000 and will not be en-
tlrely completed much before time for
opening the season
Discussion as to the proper number
OF games to decide the worlds cham
plonshlp took up the attention of the
paseDaIl family, the two Chicago mag
mates being the leaders of the different
sldes In the case. Mr.. Murphy of the
eo, MS chief reason being that the pub
lie wants them.
Mr.. Comiskey, on the other hand
says the public ought to have whatever
1t wants, but that! It doesn't care for
nine games. In proof of that he cited
the attendance figures of the last series
which show that the crowds grew
smaller every day until the wind-up,
when only about 1000 people turned out
on Sunday.
Opening in Chicago, said Conniskey,
the West Siders and Detroits played
to capacity business, magnificent
gathering of nearly 24,50o. The next
day the figures fell OFF 5000, and the
third day, which was perfect for base
ball, saw almost 5000 fewer people at
the park than had turned out the sec
Ond day. When the scene shifted to
Detroit the attendance dwindled to
nothing, considering the attraction.
Those figures are enough to con-
vince me that the public got all the
baseball it craved at increased prices.
Otherwise, you would have looked. for
larger crowds after that exciting twelve
inning tie of the opening, day and the
closely contested to, game of the day
The Natio11a1 League people call at
tention to the fact that the players
might participate in the receipts from
five games if the. series were lengthen-
ed. There is nothing to stop the club
owners giving all of the receipts to the
players If they want to- 1t isn't neces-
sary to extend the series on that ac-
count.
mo, it looks to me as though the
conditions now are as nearly perfect as
they can be made. Twenty years ago
the st. Louis and Detroit teams played
a series of fourteen games for the
championship, and the further it pro-
crossed the less interest was manifested
in it. Seven games are plenty

Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. pa special

The third escaped but Is being hOtly

Sheriffs James Stutchberry and White.
Perrine had just returned from a

seeing the door of his office ajar. His
presence was as quickly discovered by
the Mexicans within, who leaped
through a window and with their hast

Perrine brought his revolver into play.
The first shot passed through the head
OF one of the Mexicans, who fell dead
Three more shots were fired in rapid

driven to bay, had prepared to resist
capture, and a fourth shot wounded the

WOUNDED AND CAPTURED.

san Francisco, Nov. 29-At S o'clock
this morning a lone bandit wearing a
polka dot mask and another who later
gave his name as John P. Smith Of
Sacramento, entered a saloon on Stuart
street, in this city. Several men were
in the saloon at the time and Smith
covered them with a pistol and lined
them up against the wall. He then
robbed Victor Mattson, the bartender
and rifled the cash register. The rob-
Der then backed out of the saloon and
ran. Mattson grabbed a pistol and ran
after him. firing a shot. Two police
men came to his assistance. and a run
ming fight between the rObbeT and pO-
lice ensued. Smith was shot in the
mouth by a bullet from officer Davit's
pistol aud then he surrendered. Phillip
Kitchener came into the police station
at this time and reported that he had
been robbed at the corner of Washing
ton and Sansome streets a few minutes
before His valuables were discovered
in Smiths pockets. From the methods
of Smiths operations the police are
inclined to believe that he is the high
wayman who shot and killed a special
policeman in Oakland on last Sunday
night.
