TREMENDOUS RUSH FOR
WORLDS SERIES TICKETS
All Seats Sold for Tomorrow's Game in
New York Between Giants
and Athletic.

| the limit are E. E. Smathers, John A.
Drake, George NJ. Conan. Honest John
Kelly, George Considine and dozen we'll
known bookmakers. who say they will
take any amount of Athletics coin. There
is no doubt that the series will involve
heavy speculation, but the bulk of it will
be of a private nature.
1t was predicted by base ball sharps
yesterday that Coombs would pitch to-
J m0rrow's game regardless of McGraw's
selection. Coombs was the Athletics main
stay in the series with the Cubs last fall
and is In magnificent trim. He Is cool
he will work well in the presence of the
huge crowd. 1t is thought that Bender
will be Mack's relief pitcher in case the
Giants hit Coombs, while Plank will be
reserved for Monday. Mack says that if
! he dared to take chance with Morgan
he could beat the Giants tomorrow. Nor
gan is an accomplished spitball pitcher,
but he is inclined to be wild and ratified
under pressure.
McGraw gave no hint yesterday as to
the Giants. pitcher tomorrow. TIE New
YORK players were as much in the dark
as anybody, but some of them expressed
the belief that Marquard would be called
upon to turn the trick because he would
have the support of the crowd. With an
army OF fans to encourage him, Mar
guard, 1t is believed, would remain steady
and could show his invincible form. With
hostile crowd to deal with in Phila-
delphia on Monday it Is figured that
Mathewson would prove equal to the task
because OF his long experience. Mathew
sen doesn't rattle worth cent and cares
nothing for wild roofing. Some of his
greatest games have been pitched on for
eign diamonds. If Marquard is the man
behind the gun tomorrow Matty will be
ready to surplant him in case of trouble.
Base ball men are convinced that Nc
Graw intends to alternate Marquard and
Mathewson If they are able to stand off
the Athletics siuggers. McGraw has or
dered the Giants to report for practice
at , o'clock this afternoon.
The total receipts of tomorrow's game
VIII be made known as soon as the strug-
gle is over. The money received for
boxes and reserved seats will have been
counted before the game begins, so that
the admissions to bleachers and grand
stand will be compiled by the time the
seventh or eighth inning ends. The ma
ttonal commissions agents will be on
hand to approve the report and make it
include the hiring of clerks, police ush-
ers and door tenders, postage and adver-
Using. possibly amounting to 5000 which
will be paid by the club owners.
During the games Umpires KLEIN, Bren-
nan. Connolly and Dineen will stop at OBJ
scure hotels, the location of which Will be
known by the national commission ex-
clusively. These officials will travel back
and forth between this city and Philadel-
phia by themselves. They will avoid the
that the Giants and the officials of the
New York club will go to Philadelphia
and back in special train over the
Pennsylvania railroad. For the benefit
of New Workers attention is called to the
fact that Shibe Park is four blocks from
the North Philadelphia station of the
Pennsylvania road.
Gate tenders have been instructed to be
on the watch for counterfeit tickets. The
tickets sold for the games at the polo
Grounds are ordinary printed pasteboards
which could easily be reproduced The
New York club announces that holders of

head of each aisle will not allow persons
