ORR,E OVERALL
MANY WANT TICKETS
FOR WORLDS SERIES
Big Question Among the Fans
as to How They May
Be Obtained.

PHILADELPHIA, September 27.-Two
more weeks will wind up the American
League race. and it is a. pity that the
National Leagues procession cannot end
at the same time The indications are
that the Cubs will make their champion
ship secure before the present week Is
will relieve the minds of the fans and
series.
Every one wants to know how they
will go about securing reserved seat tick
cts, and few. If any, are worrying about
the cost, thus indicating the big hold
which the worlds series has taken on
the public. Prices for these games now
equal those at a big foot ball contest, and
the base ball fans give up their coin just
as cheerfully. Indeed, although it is only
i've years since the nationa, con.nIsslun
took mold OF the event, the wo- =. :, ....c,
has grown into popularity eve, - ~
That 1t is no longer case of .-. .ne
price for tickets. but or bI.n. .ucky
enough TO win out in the Compel zion Ioi
them. Those who are supposed to nave
a little inside track have been besieged
for the coveted pastebOards, and heard
one man ask VIII Locke, secretary OF
the Pittsburg club, who had experience in
last year series, how to go about get
ting 900 reserved seat tickets for num-
Der Of merchants. Mr.. Locke's reply was
that the commission would not let any
one have such big block Of tickets nor
anything like that number.
The prospects are that the commission
will again use the mail order system, and
1t will be case of first come first served.
Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate,
sent word the other day that he wants
thirty-tive of the best seats, no matter
what the cost. and applications for boxes
have been coming in with the same state
ment attached.
The free score card system which will
be introduced here will bea decided nov
city to the fans who come here from
other cities. The Athletics are the pio-
neers in this at the regular championship
games, and the idea has the hearty IN
dorsement Of President Ban Johnson.
Last year $4,000 free score cards were
given away at Shibe Park and this year
the number has already approached the
6OO, 600 mark.
President Johnson has also Endorsed the
idea Of the score board at Shibe Park,
which gives the name of every player,
and 1t is only q question of time when
nearly every major league park will have
similar ideas regarding free score cards
and score board, so that the fans will be
able to tell who Is playing each position
and to keep track Of the plays.

NO MORE AUTOS FOR BATTERs.
Present Contest Said to Have
Brought About Record Playing.

Special DiSDatch to Inc star.
PITTSBURG, September 21.-Never
again, it Is said, will the national COM
mission accept the offer Of any prize for
q champion batsman. The present sea-
son has, It is claimed, seen more rec
ord-playing'' than any in the past, SIM
the man who shall have the highest bat
ting average at the close Of the season.
There is no doubt that the contest now
on has influenced the work of some Of
the men. 1t cannot be gainsaid that the
bail player who thinks entirely Of his
own record, to the exclusion of his team 8
interests, is harming the sport.
Already too much stress has been laid
on averages. The figures are all right,
but they sometimes lie. when one tries
to form from them a correct estimate Of
the ability Of an individual. A sterling
batsman may be great bonehead In
other departments Of play, and. yet the
lack of mental power not appear in the
batting average.
Indeed, it is high time that the powers
that be in base ball get together and
change the method Of computing batting
averages. Runs win ball games and there
is no reason why their value should not
be apparent in the averages. Why not
devise some method whereby the number
Of runs scored and batted in will re-
place the number Of hits made, SO far
as the percentage column is concerned?
This would not only result In making the
records Of real value to the club owners
In their hunt for talent, but it would also
result in driving out Of the 800 class
some men who can do nothing but whale
the ball-and there is more than one rep
resentative Of this class In the major
leagues today.

INSPIRATION IN
BASE BALL TRUE
Players, Inspired by Work Of
Teammates, Set Out for
Better Results.

CHICAGO. September 26.-Inspiration
holds true In base ball the same as in
law, medicine or literature. II you are
Q worker in any Of these three branches
OF human endeavor, or in any Of the
other thousands Of lines whereby men
earn their daily bread, you are bound
to try harder just because some one
else does a thing we'll.
AS an example, home runs are scarce
things in game. Yet when one man
teammate is likely to come through
with one just like 1t. or perhaps may
stretch a long hit into a triple. Frank
Schultz and Jimmy Sheckard electrf-
fed the base ball world in the late Cub
Giant series with q brace Of home runs
apiece-almost q record in itself. Then.
too. their mates were so filled with the
spirit Of emulation that several other
long base hits were registered against
the Giants.
II a team is falling Off in hitting
there IL nothing that 30 holsters 1t up
as the injection Of a new man, one who
Is liable to make hit or two every
game This case has been illustrated
adds to the pile. Since Mclean has
Joined the White Sox a noticeable In
crease Of hits has been noticed. HIS
limitless ability to hit 'em out has
forced a lot OF the same kind OF aplilty
into the other players In fact, the
Sox are no longer known as the hitless
wonders For II nobody else can regis
ter a hit. Mclean comes through with
one to spoil the pitchers record.
Then, too, the flelders behind pitch
er never work better than when their
twirler il working at his best That Is
Why Walsh OF the sox. Brown OF the
cubs. Joss OF Cleveland. Mathewson OF
tina Giants ct al. are able to get away
with their remarkable feats Of this ana
former years.

The way the Duffeyifes have downed
the Boston and New York teams in
straight games and taken three out Of
four games from the Philadelphia Ath-

might while on the road. and others say
that 1t Is the presence Of Comiskey at

the change.

fans here in the appearance of Somerlot

The failure of the Athletics to down

caused lot Of the Cub fans to claim
that the Cubs will land the worlds cham

they had with the Tigers in the two
years they battled them. There is rea-
SON to believe that Connie Mack did not
ask his men to extend themselves at all
while here. as the men were not anxious
to show their full strength here In the
home town of their coming opponents.
The American League fans are not will
ing to admit, however. that the Cubs will
have a walk-away, even II the Athletics
did not show strong. They point to the

COAL STRIKE ON
 FOR SIX MONTHS

Little Rock, Ark, May 6.-One of the general coal distributing agents with headquarters in Little Rock, re- turning Thursday from a trip to the mining district of Western Arkansas. discussed the coal strike freely with 6 number of the operators in that section, and he states the strike is en now for six months at least, and unless non-union men are put into the mines, they are all liable to be closed during the coming winter. The operators are now through with their efforts to make a settlement, for at feast three months, and will await overtures from. the miners. The op- orators claim they have made no money during the past two years, and it might be good thing for them to remain idle for season and make a heavy pull upon the oil and gas supplies and exhaust it that E;uch quicker.
