ed-at; the fair grounds and will begin
at 2:30. Buses will be run and a
large crowd is expected. The usual
admission fee of twenty-five cents
will be charged.
Thief River Falls has larger
High School attendance than Bemid-
il. and their team is unusually strong
this year.
The Bemidji boys, altf ough they
are not as heavy this year as last,
have shown up we'll in practice.
Professor Robinson, the coach, is
satisfied that this team will play full
ly as we'll as it did last year, and he
expects that next Saturdays game
will be battle royal.
The lineup for the Bemidji team
has not yet been definitely decided
upon. The boys are seriously handi-
capped by the loss of He1drixon, the
giant full-back Macdonald, Ripple,
Peck and Bailey will make up the
back field, and Sullivan will play
center, but several men are after
positions in the line. Lycan and
Shannon probably will play guards,
with Ryan and Olson tackles and
Hayner and Moritz ends. s-@.
Last night number Of candidates
were on the field, second team was
made up, and they put up a good
fight against the big boys The team
probably will organize in the near
future.

trouble with the county over his
bills, although the county commits
sioners which adjourned their regu-
lar meeting late yesterday, only
chopped S. from bills presented by
the sheriff totalling nearly $500, this
cut being for alleged improper items.
The sheriff did not present a new
bill for what legal items which may
have been in his previous bill
amounting to more than $500 which
he sought to collect by mandamus
proceedings and which was held il
legal by Judge Stanton.
Squabble Over Mileage.
The items which caused the con-
troversy at the meeting of the COM
missioners yesterday had to do with
mileage charges. The sheriff was
called in to explain, which he did but
not entirely to the satisfaction Of
Chairman Viggo Peterson whose
quizzes irritated the sheriff until he
finally left in anger, but not until he
had taken this fling at the chairman:

NEW YORK, Oct lathe state
ment was made in a ticket scalping
agency on Broadway today that the
New York baseball club, or some one
connected Herewith, had sold out the
bulk of the grandstand tickets for the
worlds series to q trust OF specula-
tors for a bonus Of $4,000. This
$4,000 bonus, II is alleged, was paid
in excess Of the face value OF the
tickets by one man, representing the
little trust, or syndicate.
This one man, in order TO get his
bonus back. planted his tickets
throughout the city at $3.50 each.
putting IL up to the other scalpers
and spectators TO make any profit
they could. Agents for this man high
er up, who paid the $4,000 bonus.
so the story ran, were putting out
their tickets before the public sale
began in the st. James Building yes
terday. All OF which Is only one OF
the many sensational developments in
what may turn out TO be the biggest
scandal in the history Of organized
sport in America.
Secretary Gray, OF the New York
baseball club. said today he would
give $500 70 any one proving that he
knowingly sold a ticket to a specu-
lator.
President Brush, OF the New
York club, went on record ut the
same time with an offer 81 $1O,-
600 to any person who would
show him how it was possible
for him to keep tickets out OF
the hands OF SPECTATORS.

seems improbable.
