between the Giants and Athletics Will
be played on the Polo srounds Sat

This date Was decided on to- day AT
a conference letWeer members OF the
National Baseball Commission, and
representatives of the two clubs at the
Hotel Rector.
New York won the first battle IN
the preliminary skirmish, when soon
after the meeting ope ned. Garry Herr

would get the opening game.

The games will be played on alter

John T. Brush. T. j. Lyncn. carry
Hermann, Ben Johnson and John

There was a long discussion over
the prices Of ADMISSION. The New
York club, with it's large number of
box seats. held out for 81 for the
bleacher seats, and 81 and SIS for the
grandstand seats. The latter price Is
for the boxes.
The Philadelphia club wants the
prices the same as last year-$l, 81
and So. This commission will hoiu
another session early this evening and
settle the question. 1t Is believed that
the higher price Of admission Tor box
seats VIII prevail.
The New York and Philadelphia
clubs Will handle III sale of all tickets,
Under The supervision OF the National
Commission. The latter said that
every precsution must be taken to
keep the tickets out OF the hands of
spectators, and put 1t up to the clubs
to see that this order is carried out,
The umIires for the series will be
Klein and Brennan, for the National
League. and Dineen and Connolly, for
the American League.
There Is great deal OF significance
in this selection in that Hank O'Day
the veteran of the National League,
was not appointed. The opposition
of the New York club must have car
ried weight.
