PrTTSBURG. October "A dense log
holds Pittsburg in its grasp today, ana
rho ereat army of base ball followers
is worried as to weather conditions to-
morrow when the first game or the
P1ttsburg-Detroit post-season series Is

A part of the Detroit team arrived
here today, and is quartered at the CO.
Ionial Annex Hotel. Members of the ma
tional commission reached the city about
the same time.
All is in readiness for the first game.
There is some little dissatisfaction over
the ARRANGEMENTS but the task of dis
tributing seats was large one, and
naturally there are complaints from those
who failed to get the reservations they
wanted.
The police arrangements have been COM
pleted Over $50 officers are to be sta
toned In and around Forbes Field under
the direction of the assistant superin-
tendent of police and the various In
spectors. For the purpose OF avoiding as
much as possible the anticipated con-
gestion at the mark the newspapers to-
day are publishing diagram Of the seat
ing arrangement, with instructions to
seat holders regarding the entrances and
exits number of new openings have
been constructed and practically every
section of the immense stadium has Its
individual gates.

TWO GREAT GOLFERS
MEET WITH DEFEAT

NEW YORK, October 7.-Findlay 8.
Douglas Nassau Country Club, and Alex
Smith, the Wykagyl Country Club pro-
fessional, defeated Walter J. Travis, Gar
den City Golf Club, and Tom Vardon. the
British professional. in q thirty-six-hole
match yesterday over the Hackensack
Golf Club links, 4 up and 2 to play.
Travis was decidedly off in his putting,
which formerly was the strongest feature
of his game. and it was almost case OF
Vardon playing the best ball OF Smith
and Douglas during the first twenty-seven
holes, as the only assistance Travis gave
him was in securing q half with Smith
in bogey on the sixteenth hole.
On the homestretch, however, Travis got
back on his game and gave a splendid
exhibition Of his former championship
form, playing the last seven holes In par
golf and DOGGY and equaling the best ball
Of Smith and Douglas.
Travis made his first win of the day at
the tenth hole, or twenty-eighth OF the
match, in par golf and though the next
hole was halved by all hands In par,
Travis won the twelfth, or thrtieth of the
match, in the DOGGY of four. All four
players got three on the next hole, with
Smith and Douglas still in the lead by
2 up.
Travis landed the half in four on the
fourteenth, but Douglas brought the
match to close with a par three on the
fifteenth and par four on the eighteenth
which gave him and Smith the victory by
up and 2 to play.
Incidentally the first bye hole was won
by Smith In a par two. while the second
was &on by Douglas in par three

BELIEVES JENNINGS
CAN JOLLY TIGERS
st. Louis Writer Figures
Hughey's Boys to Win
the Big Flag.

Billy Murphy of the ST. Louis Star ha:
the following interesting remarks anen
| the pending struggle between Detroit anC
Pittsburg that starts tomorrow:
Now for the worlds championship. It's
either Austerlitz or Waterloo for Hughey
Jennings or Fred Clarke.
The first two games will be played in
| Pittsburg. That gives the Pirates an ad
vantage. It's something to open before
| your home crowds when a worlds cham
pionship is at stake. For the past four
years the teams that have won the first
game have won the baubles.
In hitting, fielding and pitching the
teams seem to be very evenly matched.
only in base running do the Tigers seem
to have the edge. Whether Gibson can
stop the fleet-footed Wolverines is ques-
ton. We do not believe he is one whit
better receiver than Willie Sullivan.
Street. Criger, Stephens or Clarke.
Neither team has won worlds cham
pionship, although this will not be the
first contest for one they have engaged in
Left-handers have always been the bug
bear Of the Tigers. Clarke's Corsairs have
but one-Lefty Leifeld-a St. Louis boy.
Maybe we'll be hanging garlands
around him when he comes home.
The Pirates Blew.
Ed Killian. George Mullin and Bill Don
ovan look pretty good.
Ed Willetts and "knuckle Baller" Sum-
mers aren't SO bad. Will Wagner do like
he has always previously done in pinch
Blow up!
Remember that Wagner, Clarke. Leach
Philippe and Lever have gone to the bad
before in a worlds championship series
he with
had the Pilgrims beaten three battles to
one Then what happened? Jimmy Col
Inns boys came along and triumphed in
slam-bang fashion.
Last fall again the Pirates blew. Didn't
they have the championship won If they
took one contest from Chicago? Game
ness it wasn't there, though.
The Cubs came along, licked the stew
out Of Willis.
Victor may be a good boxman. But is
he a Brown?
Most decidedly not.
Now we come to the Tigers.
Didn't they blow up twice before the
Cubs? Surely
Wasn't Cobb, their great base runner
stopped by Johnny King? Weren't they
outgamed. outhustled and outplucked all
the way?
Smile with US.
Then to come down to aces, consider II
that enthusiasm and ginger OF Hughey
Jennings is not going to cut big figure
in the result.
You can't beat Hughey Jennings sys-
tenn.
Not that his knowledge of base ball is
superior to that of other managers; not
that the Tigers play better base ball than
the other teams, but you can't just beat
the Jennings system.
The sorrel-topped manager of the Tigers
knows the weakness OF his men, and he
plays 1t for all it is worth judging from
the high percentage of the Detroit crowd,
the system seldom fails.
Hungry for Money.
Everybody knows the Tigers have won
three American League pennants. Every
body knows the Detroiters have shared IN

TICKET SPECULATION
is EXAGGERATED

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 7.-President
Ban Johnson of the American League
left for Pittsburg last night to join Pres
ident Heydler of the National League
and Chairman Hermann. one day In
advance of the opening of the worlds Sc
r1es. to settle any minor details or COM
plications which may arise concerning
the Pittsburg- Detroit worlds series.
The national commission is especially
anxious that ticket scalping be elm
mated, or at least eliminated SO far as
is possible to do SO. The American
League executive stated he had received
advices from Pittsburg that the stories
Of alleged ticket scalping on a large
scale were untrue.
The commission has arranged for spe-
cial train between Pittsburg and Detroit
and vice versa, to carry the members OF
the contending teams, the umpires. bust
ness representatives of the two clubs and
the members Of the commission and a
limited number of newspaper men.

FIRST GAME THE
ALL IMPORTANT ONE
From the ST. Louis Post-Dlspatch.

From the St Louis Post-Dlspatch.
The Chicago White Sox won the world S
championship from the Cubs in the fall
of 1903 because they got the jump on the
National LeaguerS by winning desper-
ately close battle on the opening day.
Not only that but the Cubs best tWirler,
Mordecai Brown, was beaten, and he
was almost useless for the balance OF
the series. 1t upset the plans of Frank
Chance completely when the first game
went the wrong way. He had to use
his next best pitcher to get even with
the Sox on the second day. Then he
tried to sneak one over on the third day,
but couldn't do it. Mordecai Brown, his
great twirler, had exhausted himself in
trying to win the first game, and had
failed. That put the Cubs in a deep hole
and they couldn't get out.
The following year Detroit had about
the same experience. 1t met the Cubs
for the title and Wild Bill Donovan was
chosen to pitch. Overall was the pitcher
for the Cubs That was the year Wild
Bill made such remarkable record and
he had been specially groomed for the
first game with the Cubs. 1t was des-
perate twelve-innng tie game. Wild Bill
mad exhausted himself and was of little
use from then on to the end. Nothing
had been gained by his extended effort
and the team was in a bad hole. Chance
had three other pitchers in fine trim that
fall and he just galloped through the
next four games.
1t is likely that Camnitz and Donovan
will be the pitchers in the first game
this time. Pittsburg's hope is with the
work of Camnitz But should he lose
that first game Fred Clarke will be in a
terrible fix. He'll come back with Willis
in the box for the second game and
even should he win Clarke will have to
put Camnitz back again for the third
battle. But If he wins the first he can
let the second and third take care of
themselves, while Camnitz can rest for
the fourth.
Jennings is better equipped I'm his
pitching department for the series. He
can put a strong man in the box for four
successive days without using the same
man twice. That means that his strong
est man. the one he'll use first, can rest
three full days before he'll need to work
again, and he'll be in shape.
If Jennings beats the Pirates it is more
than likely it will be through his pitchers
rather than his batters.
