Plans Under Way to Attend
Worlds Series if Athletics

SOME WAGERS BEING
MADE ON THE RESULT

Although many Of them have never
seen the teams play, baseball fans in
this city are showing more than ordi-
nary interest In the pennant races in
the National and American leagues.
Each evening followers of the ma
tional pastime gather at those places
throughout the city where scores ere
received and discuss the chances Of
the respective clubs. Every fan hnc
his favorite team-has favorite player
--and Il is in the doings Of these that
he is especially interested.
Naturally the Pennsylvania teams
In the two big leagues have the great
er number Of adherents In Phladel-
phia. This is true especially OF the
Philadelphia Athletics. On the other
hand. the New York Giants and the
Detroit Tigers have many followers.
OF almost as much importance. seem
lngly, as politics in baseball. At least
there is as much talk about TIE races
in the major leagues as there ia about
the chances of this or that candidate
for election at the coming primaries
The fan Is a steadfast mortal He
usually knows whereof he speaks
Woe be unto him who chances to
argue about any player and does not
have the necessary knowledge TO baclS
up his statements. The real fan will
be there and his cannonade Of facts.

averages. names, dates and other data

Many Wilmington fans are so sure
that the Philadelphia Athletics will
win the pennant in the American
league and thus qualify for the worlds
series that they are already planning
TO 60 to the Quaker City next month
to witness the championship games
There is a hope that the New York
Giants will win in the National league
so that there may be a great interest
and rivalry in the worlds serier. As
was the case last season, Wilmington
will send a big delegation TO the
worlds series games II they are play
ed IN Philadelphia.
Many wagers are being made In this
city on the outcome Of the American
league race. Athletic money Is pre-
dominating, but there is some back

being offered on the Athletics, but
even so there are some men willing
to bet even that Detroit will come
from behind and beat Macks' team IN
the final chase for the flag.

WORLD SERIES
MAY OPEN OCT. Is

The worlds series will probably
start on October Is, according TO Ban
johnson of the American League.
Neither thetCubs nor the Giants seem
to have a chance to advance their
closing games on October r., and
johnson believes that the National
Commission will decide to start the
series on the Saturday following the
close of the National season.
The Athletics will therefore have
plenty Of time TO play the warming
up series with the All Stars to put on
an edge These games will be play
ed at Baltimore, October s Washing
ton. October and 10, and at Rich
mond, on October IL and 10.

ORDERS FOR ECONOMY
AND EQUIPMENT

Orders have gone out from railroad
heads Of the various systems 10 con-
tinue the economical rules and regu-
lations This is no indication that a
reduction in business is looked for,
but a further desire on the part Of
the railroads to increase their earn
ings.
If the gross earnings Of the rail-
roads keep up fairly well during the
fall and early winter, and If Il is pos
sible to keep down expenses. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be much less
talk regarding the probability of divi-
dend reductions by the larger systems.
Large expenditures will also be
made for new equipment, and this
additional expense, Il is believed, can
be met by continuation OF economy.

DIARIES AT THE FAIR.

AS the time for the State Fair ap-
pronches, many evidences point to its
surprising Importance, and to the GER
tainty that it will be the greatest fair
ever held in Utah. 4 number of the
counties have gwen notice of their in
tention TO compete as counties il is
IN one way unfortunate that Salt Lake
county made no provision to enter this
competition. In another view it is per.
haps Just as well for Salt Lake county
magDanlmously to stand aside and al.
low the other counties to come forward
with their competitions. Salt Lake coun.
ty Will undoubtedly be well represented
by individual exhibitors. But outside
county competition will add new fea-
ture of surprising interest TO the fair
The competition of the dairvmen at
the fair is assured as being of greater
extent and Of higher order than ever
before. In The Tribune on THURSDAY
morning Mr. Walter j. Frazier, City
Food and Dairy Commissioner, prom,
ises competition between at least fifty
Lake, and Utah counties, whose milk
or cream comes to the Salt Lake City
market, and whose products are sub
lect TO the most rigid inspection. These
exhibits are certain to he of very high
grade, and while Mr.. Frazier is lit.
tie enthusiastic in counting upon a rec.
ord of a hundred which is perfection,
IT is practically assured that very
high grading will be made.
The exhibits at the fair Of fruits,
of grains. and Of agricultural products
generally, is sure TO be very great and
very good. The educational exhibits
are in preparation, and will surpass
everything heretofore, and the art ex-
hibits will do the same. The compc,i- |
tion of manufactures of various kinds !
will be wider than heretofore. rs the |
manufacturing industries are always ex-
panding The live stock exhibits will |
certainly be better than ever seen here,
because better blood is constantly com. |
ing in, and more strict selection is |
being exercised all the time in the i'm. |
proVemcnt of stock
Every feature, therefore that goes
TO the making of great fair will be |
available in abundance for the Utah
State Fair this year. And that every one
will wish 10 see this surprising col.
lection of exhibits is evident from the
universal interest taken in them.
