planned to contire himself largely to

necessity of conservation of the soil The

MONEY NOT YET REFUNDED

NEW YORK, October 13.-The specula-
tors corner on worlds series base ball
tickets was everywhere evident here to-
day. Signs offering seats for sale at
cigar stores and the theatrical ticket
agencies proclaimed it. Dapper young
men with pockets and hands full of the
coveted pasteboards patrolled Broadway.
Another proof of the widespread dis
appointment among the followers of the
game was presented at the headquarters
Of the New York National club. Between
two and three hundred angry men be-
sieged the Office of Secretary Gray today.
demanding tickets or their money back.
They were those who had sent mail
orders for tickets, accompanied by checks.
Money Back Next Week.
Today for the first time they learned
that the management had honored only
those mail orders which asked tickets for
the whole series. Those who wanted
seats for one game only were told that
their orders had not been filled, and that
they would get their money back next
week.
The crowd finally became so demon
strative that the guard of two special
policemen at Secretary Gray's door was
doubled.
One man displayed a cancelled check
for $50. He wanted to know why the
management had cashed the check If he
could not have the tickets. All the salts
faction he got was assurance that every
thing would be settled next week.
National Commission There.
Members Of the national commission ar
rived today and there was some talk of
bringing the ticket situation to their at
tention. The commission has a few points
to settle before tomorrow's game, such as
the Interpretation Of ground rules and the
assignment of umpires and their instruc-
tons
The ruling price of tickets for Satur-
days game today was from Sc to SO
for the two-dollar tickets, with a proper
tionate advance for the seats regularly
costing So.
Vice President Sherman was one of
those disappointed in the distribution His
mail order for a box, has not been filed
and his money will be returned.

School students get their special training ir

day, the 18th, has anything to do with
1t depends on the point Of view. The un.
lucky part to the children is that Tyltyl
the canary. which caused that lovers

For the past week the forty-odd chill
