GIANTS RESTED
 YESTERDAY

New York, October 13.-This was loafing day for the New York Nationals Some of the players put on their uniform and indulged in mild practice, but did not over exert themselves. All reported in good condition.
 It was gossiped among the players to- day that Manager McGraw would not de- termine what pitcher he would send to the mound until he had looked over the weather condition. If the day was dark it was thought by a few of the team that Marauard would be called to pitch the opening game. It was figured that on a cloudy day Marquard with his great speed would greatly baffle the Athletics This selection would also enable McGraw to start Mathewson in the opening game at Philadelphia.
 Odds Of to and in some instances 2 to , on the Nationals were heard of to- day, but even betting was the rule. Some heavy wagers were expected tonight hen the vanguard of the Philadelphia crowds begin to arrive.
 Special details of police will be sent this evening 10 the Polo grounds to look after those who will camp out all night near the bleacher ticket office to obtain seats offered for sale tomorrow morning.

ION TO BIRMINGHAM IS
 SLOGAN AT UNIVERSITY

University, October 19.-(Special. Jon to Birmingham is Alabamas slogan. At a mass meeting of the entire student body and a goodly number of the faculty held tonight in the physics lecture room, such spirit was exhibited as Alabama has not known for a long time. The college spirit has been brewing for the last week in preparation for the Georgia game and by Saturday it will indeed have reached the boiling point. Every student who can possibly rake together enough coin to take him to the Magic City will be there. The students will meet at the Birmingham ho- tel and go to the Fair grounds in body.
 The men from Georgia will probably have the Thin Red Line" outweighed about b pounds to the man, but the Ala bamans are nothing daunted by this, for the Crimson team is full of speed mer- chants and it is upon this that Alabama is relying chiefly There is plenty Of good material for the backfield and it is the plan of the coach to keep this de- partment fresh during the game and in

SPECULATORS GET TICKETS

New York, October 13.-The speculators' corner on the worlds series baseball tickets was everywhere evident here to- day, Signs offering seats for sale were conspicuous at various cigar stores and dapper young men with hands full of the coveted pasteboards patrolled Broadway.
 Between 200 and 300 angry men be- sieged the office of Secretary Gray of the National club today demanding tick cts or their money back. They were those who had sent mail orders for tick cts accompanied by checks. They were told that the management had honored only those mail orders that asked for tickets for the whole series and that they would get their money back next week.
 Members of the national commission ar rived today and there was some talk of bringing the ticket situation to their at- tention.
 The ruling prices for Saturdays game today was from s6 to s1O for the $2 tick cts, with proportionate advance for the seats regularly costing 8.
 Vice President sherman was one of the disappointed in the distribution. His mail order for box has not been filled and his money will be returned.
 Sale of tickets in the worlds series be- tween the New York Giants and the Phil adelphia Athletics has proved the great est coup for speculators New York has had in years.
 The offerings at every big hotel and cafe along Broadway today showed that thousands of the pasteboards so much de- atolf ae.t- t.. I,a hands of the speculators, held at from 1Oo to POO per cent advance on the original price. The minimum quotations by the big ticket agencies this morning were S5 and S6 for reserved seats costing S2 and s. One speculator had 900 tickets and the fact that they are all in a block has caused considerable comment.
 The only consolation left for the aver age enthusiast Is that 15,000 seats at s1 will go on sale tomorrow at the Polo grounds.
 A new feature of the ticket distribu- ton which has just put many fans on the anxious seat is the fact that hundreds of tickets mailed to people who sent in certi- fled checks or money orders have ap- parently been lost in the mails. None of the mail was registered when it was sent out by the management and fans who failed to receive their tickets apparently have no recourse except to apply to the postoffice department for a tracer.
 The total receipts of tomorrow's game will be made known as soon as the strug- gle Is over.
 The money received for boxes and re- served seats will have been counted be- for the game begins. so that the admis- sion to bleachers and grandstand will be compiled by the time the seventh CT eighth inning ends. The national com mission will be on hand to approve the report and make it public immediately. The expenses will include the hiring Of clerks. police, ushers and door tenders, postage and advertising, possibly amount ing to 5000.

PEOPLE HOPE FOR MACKMEN:
 GAMBLERS BET ON GIANTS

The first game of the worlds series will be played this afternoon in New York.
 McGraw's Joints are favored to win the championship of the universe from Mack s Athletics-that is. the gamblers are giv- ing the Nationals an edge in the betting.
 This fact indicates very little; possibly nothing. The Cubs were favored by the bookmakers last year.
 The popular favorites are the Athletics that is. more people are hoping for their success than are hoping for the sue, cess of the Giants.
 We hope the Athletics will win.
 This indicates very little.
 As a matter of fact however. we be- lieye the series will be a brilliant one, with the teams displaying practically equal strength. AS we have said before,
