PUNCHES OF MONEY REJECTED
 FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
woULD-BE PURCHASERS - OLD- RING wRENCHEs KNEE AND MAY NOT PLAY IN SERIES

Philadelphia, October 12.-It Is es- timated by representatives of the na- tional commission having charge of the distribution of seats for the first two baseball games in the worlds series here next week that s7o,0o0 has been returned to applicants for tickets whose orders cannot be flied. The demand for tickets has broken all records and largest ever turned back by club figuring in the worlds series.
 Although 1t was officially announced last Friday that no applications would be considered that were mailed later than last Saturday many people today tried every possible way they knew how to buy reserved seats at advanced prices. The national commission has taken extraordinary precautions to keep the tickets out of the hands of scalpers.
 Centerfielder Oldring of the Philadel- phia Americans may not be able to play in the worlds series, due to hav- ing the fragments in his knee twisted in yesterdays game. In going after a fly ball Oldring lost 1t in the sun. To prevent being hit he turned suddenly and wrenched the fragments. His knee was badly swollen today and special ists who were called in declare they could not tell until tomorrow whether or not the injury will prevent the out fielder from playing next week.

AUBURN COMING
 IN GREAT SHAPE

Auburn, October 12.-(Special.) )-Both varsity and scrub teams have been re- cast and rejuvenated at Auburn. and the practices nowadays are held with view to developing speed-that quality so palpably lacking in the few games which the Auburn football team has played this season. The scrubs espe- cially loom strong-the strongest second team probably of Auburn's history-and the scrimmages are scrappy. But var sity is improving in form with each aft ernoons exhibition. The game in Bir- mingham with Howard Friday is likely to be a contest marked by the spectacle of a more nearly perfect football team.
 Among the squad members whose work is noticeable is John B. Steadham, for 1ner scrub who is pushing Newell close at quarterback, and who probably will play in some of the games this season He is light, barely 12O pounds, but az gressive and fast.
 The scrubs got away for several long gains, once a touchdown, against var slty yesterday. when a test of forward passes was held. Woodburn, scrub end, intercepted a varsity pass and lodged varsity tacklers for 70 yards.

 ''The camp will produce $600,OOO this season. the letter continues, and may look to reap s5,OOO.OOO next spring
 According to other advices received here most of the gold ground in the Idi- tarod is now taken. The food supply is said to be scarce and prices soaring.

AUBURN IS ANSWERED

$50 more to play here than Auburn of 'fered us to go to Birmingham.T which offer Auburn refused. I then tried my best to meet them in Chattanooga, offer ing them 50 per cent of the gate receipts to do so. Still they refused. They would not play us except in Birmingham, and as we had played there several time 8 and each time found the game very try ing and only slightly more remunerative than games played elsewhere, I thought it nothing but fair that Auburn should meet us either in Sewanee or Chatta- nooga. Now that 1t is too late to ar range the game. I hear that they are anxious to meet us anywhere. I only wish they had talked that way when talking was worth while.

MITCHELL AGAIN
 DEFEATS STUBBS

Arthur Mitchell, on a Flying Merkel, defeated Bob Stubbs on an Indian, yes- terday afternoon at the fair grounds, in a marvellous five mile race from a flying start The time was 4:24 and another record was shattered.
 In the beginning Stubbs got a lead and held it for three miles, Mitchell game ly sticking gut the test in spite of a ter- rife cloud of dust. The Californian got the bulge in the beginning of the fourth mile, however. and held the lead until the finish. He was about 50 feet in ad- vance of the Birmingham man.
 Stubbs stated after the event that his handle bars turned twice during tho race, and that this caused his defeat. The speed, however. was terrific and the sight well worth witnessing.
 The two will compete until the close of the fair.

ton and Is ready <o announce his deci- sion in the matter.
 With the debate regarding Lajoie's performance becoming more heated daily, President Johnson is said to have of fered as the best solution of the matter the returning of the automobile prize to the donor of the award
 That, in the league presidents opinion, would bury the unpleasantness, but in order to reward the players just the same he would have the average de- clared tie and have the league present suitable prizes to both Cobb and Lajoie. If the trouble assumes serious propor- tions 1t is quite probable that President Johnson will make an effort to carry through this move.
