DEMAND FOR TICKETS
 BREAKS ALL RECORDS

Philadelphia, October 1.-The mail de- mand for tickets for the first two games in the worlds series Is so great that the representatives of the national com mission have announced there will be no public sale of reserved seats. More than 27,oO0 applicants have been received for the 1s.000 reserved seats for two days. The only public sale of tickets will be for those of the bleachers and temporary stands. There are more than 20 900 of these and they will be placed on sale the day of the game. Tn disposing of the reserved seats the club management and the national commission have decid- ed that Philadelphians will be given pref erence, so there is small chance of non- residents getting tickets for the first two games except through scalpers. Extra ordinary efforts are being made to keep the pasteboards out of the hands of these industrious people.

SAVE ME-" CRIED COVALESKI,
 BUT LOOKOUTS BID TOO HIGH

next season until Covaleski has showed two good ones over the pan the pre- 1iction is made that he will fare It. tie better than he did this fall in Gin cinnati.
 With Birmingham. sluggers slashed the first good one that Covaleski got over and the Pole got away. Next season the waiting em out policy will be in effect, and as clever a southpaw as ever put toe on rubber might have hard sailing. The story of Covaleski Is pitiable in the extreme. He has ey- erything but can't get away with 1t. His wildness Is a great imperfection, and some make the charge that he hasn't full quota of true American courage.
 However that might be the Pole will be again in the Southern league next season.

 Immediately following the receipt of the telegram MT. Woodward wired Cin- cinnati what he would give-$2000- for the pitcher.
 Cincinnati wired back:
 Sorry. Covaleski has been sold to Chattanooga for $3000."

TY COBB RETAINS
 FROM CRITICISM

Philadelphia, October 11.-Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit team, who, with Napoleon Lajoie of Cleveland. heads the list of heavy hitters in the American league. arrived here tonight He said he did not care to discuss the recent game at St. Louis, where Lajoie made eight hits in eight times at bat, which may place Lajoie first in the batting averages for the year.
 T was surprised when I read of the result of the games in the papers," said Cobb, "and am sorry that either Lajoie or myself did not win the prize for the highest average without anything oc- curing which would cause unfavorable comment l am not prepared to make any charges against either Lajoie or members of the St. Louis team"

''I give him credit for doing much toward pushing Birmingham into sec ond place, but I do not believe that he will do such brilliant work again in this league.
 President Andrews of Chattanooga must have received a straight tip that all salary limitations will be abolished next season. He has certainly gath cred in a superb selection of talent. With Bill Smith at the head of the club he should win the pennant in walk. I would say that there has never been as high a salaried team in the history of the Southern league as Andrews will be next season. In his long list of players not cheap man appears"
