| P1TTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 5.--The en-
tire 37,02s reserved seats on Forbes
Field for Friday and Saturday of the
worlds series have been sold. 1t re-
CURED less than forty-eight hours to
dispose of them. Today officials Of the
fl1tsourg club in tears turned back
about $4,000 in good money which
came by mail for seats after thew had
all oeen sold. There is every assur-
ance now that the opening games
mere in the worlds championship ser
les between the Pittsburg and Detroit
teams will be witnessed by such en-
ormous crowds as to shatter every
Standing attendance record in the en-.
tire history of the national sport
There will not be mere TAXING Of
the capacity of Forbes field, for un.
less present signs are misleading.
thousands OF fans will be turned away.
as 1t Will be impossible to find even
standing room for the immense num-
per eager to see the Pirates and
Tigers battle for the championship Of
the universe.
Inc National Commission and the
officials of the Pittsburg Club antici
pated record rush and made extra
ordinary preparations accordingly to
handle 1t, but, even they underestimate
ed the public interest in the great
series, and instead of having num-
Der OF reserved seats left over for
public sale to open at noon Wednes-
day, as was at first expected. they
found today that the entire supply for
both days had been exhausted and that
no further orders for seats for either
Friday or Saturday could be accepted.

Sale sreaks all Records.

Nothing ever approaching the pro-
portions of the big sales here has ever
been known in the history of baseball
Yesterday the club gave notice that
every seat in the grand stand and
boxes at Forbes field had been sold
for the Saturday game. and before
noon today it was learned that more
than enough orders had been received
to exhaust what remained of the tick
cts for Fridays event. 1t is announced
that not another application for even
single seat for either Friday or Sat
urday can be filled. Hundreds of ord
ers were received after the supply
gave out, and the corps of clerks is
now busy returning cash, money ord
ers and checks to the senders.
The officials request that no more
orders be sent in, as they can not be
filled There will be no sale on We'd
nesday, as no tickets are left, and the
only thing now left for those who
have not secured seats is the general
admission on sale for bleachers and
standing room at the grounds on the
Gays OF the games.
The fact that the entire supply Of re-
served seats for both games was sold
out in only forty-eight hours shows the
wonderful extent Of the interest in
the worlds series. The grand stand
stand and boxes at Forbes field have
a seating capacity of 16,849, and the
five rows of new box seats to be
placed In front of the grand stand pro-
vide for 1665 more seats, or total
of 1854 reserved seats for each
sold for both Friday and Saturday, 1t
means that in two DAYS no less than
3702S tickets have been sent out,
with thousands of orders returned
Crowd Should be Greatest Yet.
This record advance sale, with the
great rush that NAV be expected for
unreserved seats and standing room
on the DAYS OF the games. makes it
practically certain that the crowds
witnessing the contests here Friday
and Saturday will be the greatest by
Tar IN the history OF the national sport.
The highest accepted attendance mark
is that of 30.595 the official figures for
the double header between the Pitts
burg and New York teams at the Polo
grounds In New York on July last.
and the next highest is 30,338. record
ed when the Cubs and Pirates open
ed Forbes Field here on June 30.
There IL evidence that some Of the
reserved seatg have fallen into the
hands Of spectators. in spite of the
carefulness Of the Pittsburg baseball
club and the National Commission
Some persons are said to be in pos
session Of 200 seats apiece, which they
ray they win dispose Of at from IS
70 $50.

w. S. Dean, who, after the resigna-
tion of w. A. Morse as municipal
judge of Sauk Centre, was appointed
by Gov. John A. Johnson to the va
cancy and did not accept, is now

all fines to 60 to the city. Mr.. Dean
again took the matter under consid-
Grafton and on Friday filed his &C

kept in Mr.. Morse's Office, and that he
will also have a private Office in the
Merchants National Bank, where he
has had a desk since he retired from
the machinery business. Mr.. Deans
acceptance of the Office is well receiv-
ed by the public. Mr.. Dean has a
judicial mind, is we'll known and
highly respected citizen and will deal
out justice impartially.

WORK OF YEGG MEN
State Bank of Avon is Looted of
SI,7O0 at an Early Hour
Sunday Morning

The State Bank of Avon, Stearns
county, small village some fifteen
miles this side of St. Cloud, was en-
tered by robbers on Sunday, Oct. L.,
dynamited and 81, 700 in cash taken.
The wrecking job was done about l a.
m. thus giving the robbers a chance
to escape. The bank was entered
through side window. Three men
did the job and two persons saw them
enter the bank but failed to give the
alarm until it was too late to catch
them. The robbers stole team and
drove to Holdingford, twelve miles
distant, where they boarded freight
on the 500 line, which was just leay-
ing for Royalton. The constable at
Holdingford had been Informed OF the
robbery and he ordered the train stop
ped Just as it was pulling out but a
thorough search failed to discover the
robbers. Later two suspects were ar
rested and placed in the county jail
at st. Cloud.

decorated in pink and white for the
occasion. The bride wore her travel
ing gown of dark blue with hat to
match. She was attended by Misses
Pearl Caughren of Sauk Centre and
Lucille Coates of St. Cloud. The
grooms attendants were Ed Hansen
of Sauk Centre and Will Hammered
of Minneapolis.
Congratulations followed the cere-
mony, and then the party sat down
to wedding breakfast. The table
was decorated in pink and white, the
same color scheme being carried out
as in the parlor. =
DR.. and Mrs. Hollern were the re-
cipients of many beautiful and useful
wedding presents. They left at Oils
over the Northern Pacific en- route
for Minneapolis via Little Falls. Mr..
Hammered and Miss Coates ac-
companied them. By taking this
train the newly married couple avoid
ed the reception that had been plan
ned by the brides many friends here,
who thought they were going on the
Great Northern at LAO. Had they
taken this route there would have
been plenty of rice and other accom-
paniments. AS it was they had a
peaceful departure.
The bride is a native of Sauk Cen
tire where she has spent all her life
with the exception of the past three
years, during which time she was So
ciety editress of the St. Cloud Jour
nal-Press. She graduated from the
Sauk Centre High school and fol
some months did reportorial work on
the Sauk Centre Herald under the
editorship Of Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy.
AS newspaper woman Miss McCor-
mick showed natural adaptability
for the work and developed rapidly.
Her work on The Herald and the
Journal-Press was satisfactory to the
proprietors and to the public. When
President Taft passed through here
on his tour in the Fall of 1908 Miss
Mccormick boarded the special train
at St. Cloud and came as..far as Sauk
Centre, securing good interview
with the nominee.
AS society girl Saturdays bride
was popular and made friends where
ever she went. Having grown up In
Sauk Centre this city was proud OF
her achievements in journalism and
its best wishes go with her to new
home.

ON THE GRlDIRON
High School Foot Ball Team Visits
Little Falls and is Walloped,
83 to

Julius Caesar went out looking for
trouble, found it, passed it on to his
oponents in arms, returned home and
summarized the excursion in the
words: II came; l saw; 1 conquered" "
The Sauk Centre High school foot
oall team sought trouble in Little
Falls last Saturday, discovered it in
great gobs, didn't pass it on to the
thebr fellow, came home and might
have said: II went; l was up against
it; l was demolished".
But though defeated to the tune of
80 to 0, the boys returned happy and
care free, and aside from few bruises
that didn't amount to much, are feel
ing pretty we'll, thank you.
Fact is, the team has but two
members that ever played the game
before, it is light, has had no coach
and no one to "buck against" in prac-
tice. That makes it pretty tough
propositson when good team is en-
countered. Little Falls was heavier
in the aggregate, though one or two
of their men were lighter than were
any of Sank Centres.
Only on few rare occasions die
Sauk Centre advance the ball, once
on very pretty criss cross, and few
times on line bucking. At times its
line braced and became stone wall,
while once or twice the oponents were
pushed back for losses. That was the
only showing of team work.
In individual work Madsen showed
up well, breaking through the line
and downing the man carrying the
ball in his tracks, and when he was
given the ball, going through the opo
sition for good gains. There was
practically no interference, had there
been Austin, who was given the bal
and who did remarkably we'll in get
ting into play, might have got away
for one or more touchdowns. On the
contrary the interference put mp by
Little Falls was of high grade. Little
Falls used the forward pass for good
gans gains several times, though most
of the goals were made by straight
foot ball.
The Sauk Centre team was treated
royalty. They were taken to the
Buckman hotel and shown every pos
sible courtesy, which fact was greatly
appreciated. The game was clean
though hard at times. The team
went over on the 9:l5 Northern Paci
fic train, played Immediately after
arriving, and returned on the after
noon train.
The Little Falls Transcript gave a
good writeup of the game, saying
among other things:
"The Sauk Centre team played witt
flashes of speed and on cou pie Of oc
casions had the locals completely
drawn in by the fake plays. The
warriors from the branch were gen
tlemanly lot of young men and con
Quoted themselves as such during
the entire game. No unnecessary
roughing or fouling was done by the
visitors and their defeat was taken il
a sportsmanlike fashion,"

WORK WITH WIND
Janitor Employs Atmosphere to
Clean School House
USES COMPRESSED AIR
Apparatus Costing 5000 in Success
fuI Operation in Sauk Centre
Public Schools

John Becker, janitor in the public
school building in Sauk Centre, plays
on wind instrument every day ex-
cept Sunday. 1t isn't a musical in
strument which Mr.. Becker operates;
oh, no. It's contraption for cleans
ing the floors by means of compressed
air. Within the past few years this
agency has been widely employed for
cleaning.
The Board of Education investigat-
ed the matter carefully and finally
had a cleaning plant installed on
trial. So well has it done the requir-
ed work that it has been purchased,
the district paying $4,000. The
floors are kept scrupulously clean,
dust is thing of the past and the
time required to clean the building
has been materially reduced. From a
sanitary standpoint alone the appara-
tus is well worth the price paid.
In the basement is an air pump OPP
Grated by the engine connected with
the steam heating plant. A steel
tank, alright, is installed near the
pump and from this tank nickel plat
ed steel pipes lead to each floor. The
sweeper fits closely to the floor, hav-
ing brush on each end and rubber
base. A long nickel plated handle
consisting of a steel piece of tubing is
attached to the standing pipe by
means of rubber tubing. When the
pump is started the dirt is drawn in
to the pipe and thence down into the
steel receptacle in the basement.
One sweeper is used for cleaning und-
er the desks and another for the halls.
Thus far the: best kind of work has
been done. About two or three
quarts of dirt p day are collected.
Slate pencils, pieces of chalk, paper
and all kinds of rubbish and dirt COM
pose the daily collection.
SCHOOL NOTES
The total enrolment in the schools
| is now $50. Of this number 112 are in
the high school, fifteen being seniors.
The Minnesota State Educational
Association meets in Minneapolis on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
next week. Only part of the teachers
here care to attend, so the board
voted not to close the schools. Supt.
Angus will probably attend day or
two.
A highly successful fire drill is now
i'm force in the schools. On Tuesday
the big building was cleared in min
ute and "A seconds. The alarm Is
given when the teachers and pupils
are busy at work. They retire in ord
er, taking their books and wraps
with them. There is not the least
confusion; in fact, everything works
like clock.
OF the teachers who were here last
year but who did not return, Miss
Wood is doing second grade work in
Ely, MINI, at salary of $4,000 per
month; Miss Gallagher teaches the
fifth grade at st. Cloud at $500 a
month; Miss Crogan is principal of
the high school at Winthrop, Minn.,
and receives a salary of $3.50 per
month. All are making good.
