Exciting Chase.
The capture of the three murderers
is one OF the most thrilling that has

FOR TICKETS

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-Schemes to
bride the distributors OF reserved
seats for the worlds series games
were disclosed yesterday by Secre-
tary Robert Mercy OF the American
league, delegated by the National
Commission to supervise the sale.
Cigars. jocket mirrors, and souvenirs
of all kinds and values were among
the brides inclosed with applications
for tickets.
One fan put two cigars In the en-
velope containing his request with the
line, Two cigars, two seats for the
first game. I hope I am lucky ran.
He got the seats. Whether or not
the cigars were good, Robert could
not say. Il thought they might be
loaded" he explained, land let some
one else take a chance. 1t Is a fact,
though, that they came all the way
In an ordinary envelope and were not
broken"
How many more cigars and other
brides are concealed in the mass or
applications which were not drawn
out Of the pile of mail he could form
no estimate. The unsuccessful re-
quests will be returned over in mass
to the Chicago league ball club to be
returned to the senders.

lot OF folks put too much faith In
the beatings the All-Stars gave the
Mackmen, and saw in that, an indica-
ton that the Athletics had shot their

none of the Athletics took any very
great chances. The All-Star series
meant nothing. Neither did the fact
that the Cubs pitchers were lambast-
ed In the games of the last week.
The only thing that will count In
the series II what happens out there
on the ball field. beginning Monday.
The uncertainty of baseball precludes
doping out in advance the doings Of
the coming games.
One thing Is apparent, II the wealth
er continues as II has been for the
last seven days. the worlds series
this year will draw greater crowds
than any baseball event since your
grandfather played one-old-cat. The
advance sale Of seats In Philadelphia
and Chicago, has surpassed anything

Football OF the 1910 brand IL ex-

throughout the west have regarded
this battle as certain to bring out the
spectacular side OF the game, and as
Chicago will make every effort to

And now. dear people, comes the
