GIANT.HIGHLANDER GAMES.
No Conflict With First Two World S
Championship Contests.

NEW YORK, October 6.-While moth
ing official was announced concerning
the coming series between the Giants
and the Highlanders yesterday, it was
stated on good authority that the ma
tional commission will not permit games
to be played by the New York teams on
October II and ~, while the Cubs and
Athletics are busy in Philadelphia, but
that the local series will be resumed Oc-
tober 10. 30, u and -.
Both New York clubs have received so
many requests for reserved seats for
those games that it may be decided to
reserve sections in the grandstand to
be sold at 81 a seat, but efforts will be
made to keep these tickets out of the
hands of spectators. The clubs have
received applications for boxes from all
over the state and as far south as Vir-
ginia. In a few days announcements
will be made where tickets and boxes
can be obtained.

Two Base Ball Clubs Fined.

CINCINNATI, October G.-The claim Of
the Shreveport club for $500 against
the Philadelphia National League club
for w. r. Jackson was dismissed by the
national base ball commission in de-
cision promulgated yesterday. The com
mission held that the player was on the
suspension list when he was sold by
Shreveport to Philadelphia. For this rea-
son the first-named club could not dispose
of him. A fine of $25 was inflicted against
Shreveport for this violation Of the rules.
The Philadelphia club also was fined 800
for giving the Shreveport club permission
to try the player after the inquiries had
convinced them that the player WAS on
the ineligible list.

LEADER IN BATTING
CONTEST DOUBTFUL

Unless either Cobb or LajOie
make q material gain in the few
games that remain to be played
only the official averages will be
able to determine which one Of
the crack batsmen will win the

According to adrices from
Cleveland, where the News has
gone to the trouble to secure
records from official scorers
throughout the circuit, Cobb
IL figured to he leading LajOie
by several points, while on the
other hand averages complied
from the newspaper records give
Lajoie n slight lead.

PIRATES WANT JIMMY BURKE.
Minor League Manager Refuses to
Put Price on Services.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS, October 6.-Jimmy Burke,
native son and able base ball leader,
should have a pleasant winter. Jim was
manager of the Fort Wayne Central
League) club this year. and made a good
leader, too. Under his contract he be-
came a free agent at the close of the
championship season, and since then has
been busy opening bids for his services
next season. Fort Wayne would prob
ably like to have him back, and others
are trying to coax him away from that
pleasant berth.
Burke had chance Monday at League
Park to practically name his own terms
to sign with the Pittsburg club for 1911.
Boss Clarke wired to Burke last week.
asking for conference here Monday.
and when Burke put in an appearance
at the Pirates clubhouse before the
game Clarke asked:
How much do you want to sign with
Pittsburg next .year?"
Burke declined to name a price at
present He has other offers to manage,
and is ambitious to shine in that line
of base ball work Clarke did not find
fault with him either, but left the Pitts
burg proposition open, so that he may
accept it later If he changes his mind.

CHICAGO, October 8.-While
betting on the worlds base ball
series between Chicago and Phil
adelphia has not yet become
brisk, several wagers have been
l0id.
"Piker" bets have been laid at
various places, the average price
being 10 to on the Cubs, hut
those on the long end now de-

wagers were placed before the

PLAYERS PRESENT
MACK WITH AUTO
Athletics Leader Surprised by
Gift-His Son Catches
Game.

PHILADELPHIA, October 6.-'Twas a
great day for the house of McGillicuddy.
better known in the base ball world as
Mack. Sir Cornelius. scion of the family.
was presented with an automobile by the
players, who under his guidance have
won the American League pennant. And
the eldest son, Earl. made his debut as a
major league catcher, a position which
his father held before him. All of which
made the actual contest which New York
won from the Athletics by a score of
to yesterday a secondary consideration
1t was just as the Athletics came to bat
for the first time yesterday that the gates
in the left field were thrown open and
big Bergdoll ''30'' touring car. the first
of that make to be sold, came tearing
across the sod and stopped at the home
plate. The surprised Connie Mack was
then induced for the second time since
Shibe Park has been built, to walk out
and face crowd of several thousand
base ball fans. And they sure did greet
the great chieftain.
t Umpire Connolly escorted Manager
Mack to the car. and, when he was seated
inside, Capt. Davis. on behalf of the Ath-
letics. presented the auto to Connie. Da-
Wis said, in part:
This is a token of affection from your
players to show their appreciation of your
kindness to them eand your making 1t
possible for them to win the American
League championship.
Connie Greatly Surprised.
Connie tried his best to reply. but he
could not. He could only utter a barely
audible Thank you. boys so great was
the effect of the surprise and the gener-
osity OF his players upon him. And as
the machine was driven away Connie
walked to the bench. bowling to the cheer
ing crowd at each step. -.
Manager Mack's cup of joy was filled
to overlooking by the reception. which
greeted his son upon his major league de-
but And young Mack certainly did make
good. Although only twenty years of
age and slight of build, he stood back of
the plate and stopped the benders of
Plank and Coombs like a veteran.
Earl's success was not confined to his
backstopping, however. He was credited
with single and triple during the aft
ernoon, and both were clean hits which
caused no discussion among the knights
of the pencil. So, as before stated, it
was indeed great day for the house of
McGillicuddy.
Manager Mack is satisfied with the con-
dition of his team now. and in the next
two games may do some experimenting
to prepare for the struggle with Chicago
Yesterday he had Oldring and Strunk

General Admission for Games Is
Raised to $1-Circus Seats to Be

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILA DELPHIA, October cit is evil
dent that many thousands Of applicants
for seats to the worlds series games here
will be disappointed. as the park capacity
seems already to have been exhausted
by the stacks of letters and kilograms
asking for seats.
Secretary Heydler, who, as representa-
tive of the national commission. conferred
with President Shibe and Manager Mack.
announced yesterday after visiting Shibe
Park the plan that will be used in selling
gan es here.
Under the conditions such as l find
them" said Mr.. Heydler, 1T would be
useless for the public to send in any
more applications Tor tickets at this time.
The plan which we will follow Is this:
WeWiIi nrst go through all the applications
Tor tickets tiiat are now on nle and weed
out those wnicn we CONSIDER undesirable.
We will then fgure up the number VI
the tickets that these applications call
for. and ii any are LETT Iney will be
put on public sale.
Before The conference MIR. Heydler said
Il understand mat the official Is
tically swamped with applications IL

you had glandstand acre capable ot
seating 2J,CUO persons | DO not think
that 1t would ue able to meet all the

impossible il would be To carry out tie

tlttsburg last Year. The club there haO
d glandstand capable of seating more
than $1,000 persons, and yet thousands VI
applications had TO he rejected week
before the first game was played. II
looks as if the demand this Year was
one year ago.
Under the conditions II looks TO me
as if We would have to abandon the mai
order system and hold a public sale tor
the grandstand tickets. II this is de-
cided upon these tickets will be sold d

Patrons to Have First Choice.

Like the officials Of the Athletics, Mr.
Heydler believes that Philadelphians shall
come first in the sale of the tickets.
Secretary Shibe of the Athletics said
THE Athletics have enjoyed the patron
age of the Philadelphia public for years
1t was through their support that We
have been able to maintain such splendid
teams and build this ball park. Under
such conditions it is only right that
PhiladelplfianS should come first. We
have received scores of applications from
other cities and towns which desire to
send large delegations to the games here
with Chicago, but they will have to wait
their turn and come in after the Phila-
delphians have been taken care of, grant
ing that there are any tickets left.
In order to prevent tickets from falling
into the hands of scalpers. it is expected
that the number of tickets sold to each
applicant for grandstand seats will be
very limited, and ali purchasers may be
expected to sign book. which will show
the exact seat or seats which each has
bought

Erect Circus Seats.

Circus seats will be erected in deep
center field at Shibe Park for the
worlds series, and those patrons who
only want to separate themselves from
a fifty-cent piece to see one of the
championship battles will be able to
find seating accommodation. providing
they come early enough each day. This
was one of the important subjects dis
cuSSed by the meeting held here yes
terday morning at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford between John \ Heydler. repre-
senting the national commission. and
Messrs. Shibe and Mack looking out for
the interest Of the Athletics The build
ing Of circus seats really comes as a
surprise to the local fans for the ma
tional commission in it's meeting held
in Cincinnati Monday sent out a re-
port that so cents would be the price
for admission to the bleachers and that
the reserved seats would range from
81 to SO.
But at yesterdays conference it was
found that this scale of prices would
have to be slightly changed. The re-
served seats Will cost from So to So and
The charging of only 80 cents for the
bleacher seats was thought to be too
big a difference from the lowest price
paid in the lower grandstand. 81 per
seat. Consequently. after deep conSid-
Grafton the officials decided to charge
81 general admission for the right and
left field bleacher seats. But in order
to give seating capacity to the fans
who only want to put up 10 cents for a
game temporary seats will be built in
center field. from which a splendid
view can be had of the entire field. The
81 and so cent tickets will not be put
on sale until the day of each game.
1t will be a case of first come first

vorite seats in the bleachers and circus

the Grand Prfx, where millinery and
horses triumph-but mostly millinery.
1t would surely hold its own in any
meeting of those who make dress a
study and vie with one another In dis.
play. Happy the bride or bridesmaid
who may indulge herself in its coun-
terpart. 1t is hat for high occasion.
There are four long, but not heavy,
piumes, more like a soft mass of snow
than anything else In nature There
is almost no curl in the long fibers.
Such hat never was and never will
be out Of style.
The third hat is more distinctly of
the season. 1t has a bell-like brim
with irregular edge and fairly tall
crown. Fuor long plumes are mounted
at the right under bow that is more
than large They fall completely over
the crown. to the left brim. One half
the face is In shadow from the sharp
droop of the brim. This hat is almost
universally becoming.
All these hats are set on the head
in the proper position. 1t will be no.
tice1 that the pose is dignified-not
rakish. The crowns are posed as
they should be. directly on top of the
head. 1t is the modelling OF the brims
that gives each hat its individuality
and makes each extraordinary. AS
studies in midsummer high art millin-
cry they must interest everyone.
Those who would like fac-similes of
any one of these must consider wheth-
er their features are of the same class
or not, and remember that the rest
of the toilette must play up to the hat.
Such millinery is immensely useful
for 1t Is brimming over with good sug.
gestions, which we will do well to
follow-some of them at discreet
distance. JULIA soTToMLEY.
