HOW BOSTON WILL
HANDLE THE SERIES
One Ticket for All Three
Games is Rule This
Year.

Applications are received only from
those who desire seats for ali three
games played in Boston. There will
be one ticket for all three games,
thereby reducing to a minimum the
chance of speculation. especially in
single tickets: Indeed. it will hardly
be possible for a person to witness
a single game from a grandstand seat
unless he holds a ticket for the Sc
ries. The national commission has
not yet formally fixed the schedule
Of prices. but it is almost certain that
a fiat rate of SO for grandstand seats
and IS for box seats will prevail. Tho
same as that in the last worlds series
between New York and Philadelphia,
although box seats for the games at
the Polo grounds last year were
The advance applications, it should
be borne in mind, are being received

is being erected at the third base end

served. The seating capacity of the
main stand is about 1900, while the
additional stand will accommodate,

plications for boxes ere, of course, ac-
copied. and the present capacity will
be increased by about 600 more box
seats, another tier of boxes now being
constructed in front of the present
row and extending the entire length
Of the main grandstand. Altogether.
it will be e there will be between
$4,000 and 10000 reserved seats.
With all the rest Of the seating ac-
commodatlons 1t will be a case of first
come first served. It is figured that
there will be in all about $4,000 81
admission seats. The usual 5O-cent
bleachers will be included in the 81
sections, az will another big stretch
Of bleachers beyond the original So
cent structure. For the first base
end of the grandstand skirting the
outfield and extending until it meets
the additional reserved seat section
at the left field foul line tiers Of foul
rows of seats will be built for which
admission will be 81. 1t will be pos
sfble. however. to see the worlds
series games for so cents, there be-
ing a clause to that effect in the rules
of the national commission governing
the worlds series. The 25-cent bleach-
ers in center field, accommodating
about 1000. will be ten section al
lotted to the 5O-cent patrons.
In all there will be something like
10000 additional seats ready for the
worlds series patrons. A big gang
Of carpenters has been at work ever
since the Red Sox left on their pres
ent trip a week ago, rushing the ex-
ira seating capacity to completion.
and 1t Is expected that the work will
be finished by a week from today,
when the Stahlmcn come back to

Moorhead Boxer Offered a
Bout With Top-notcher

Leo Kossick, Moorhead boxer. has
been offered a 12-round bout with
Packey Mcfarland, lightweight aspir-
ant for the worlds title. He mas ac-

Kossick will leave for Winnipeg this
afternoon to arrange the details. John

bout in Winnipeg next month.
Two Other Bouts.
Kossick has two bouts arranged for
Oct. 2 and 10, at Battleford and Sas-

names Of his opponents. He has agreed
to fight these two battles. He declar-

the deal fell through, and SO Mckee
has offered Kossick a battle with Nc
Farland. The latter insists that the
fight be at 1876 pounds. the fighters to
weigh in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
This suits Kossick exactly. as he fights
best at that weight.
The fact Of the matter is that Leo
is going up fast in the fight world. His
battles with Mcintyre and Potts have
proved that he is a clever boxer who
car stand the pace with the best of
them.

city and was introduced to the fight
fans by Frank Force. sporting editor
of the Minneapolis Tribune. Labro
Safro. who was out-classed by Kossick
in his last bout in Moorhead. was also
introduced. Kossick was then offered
q bout with Safro in Minneapolis pre-
vious to the departure of the latter on
q tour Of eastern cities.
Owing to the fact that safro hopes
to make a cleanup on his eastern tour.
Kossick thinks this bout may not ma
terialize. Is a defeat of Safro at this
time would a big loss Of money
for the mill city lad in the east.

(By Clarke Grifith.)

The Boston Red Sox, me or the
smoothest baseball machines ever
known, will, in my opinion, take four
out of the first five games from the
New York Giants in the coming worlds
series.
Any way you look at it, Stahl's men
have McGraw's squad backed of the
baseball map.
In the box. in the field and with the
stick the Red SoX are superior. In
base running alone they do not entire
ly outclass their opponents, and, as ]
will show later. this feature of the
game does not cut much figure in
worlds series battles.
The Giants have just one pitcher In
whom they have sufficient confidence
to win such a series, namely Mathew
son. The Red Sox have more conf
dence than any team I have eve come
across, no matter who Is in the box
for them.
And they sure have a staff that mer-
its confidence. Wood. Hall. O'Brien,
Bedient and Collins are all equal to
the task Of facing the Giants at their
best and turning them back.
True. McGraw has Marquard, bu!
say what you will. the Giants do not
play behind hi mas they do with Matty
This old boy is still right up in the
front rank. bue he is 10 as strong az
he was q few years ago.
As to Christy.
The constant strain Of many years
has worn away the reserve. and now,
when Christy's best offersings are
bumped, he cannot rely on sheer speed
to recover his equilibrium. Wood and
the other Boston stars can. and there
in lies their invaluable advantage.
I do not think Marquard will bother
the American champions a little bit.
but Tesreau, whom I have seen.
but who. from all accounts. must be q
real pitcher, has not had the expert
ence to stand the terrific strain of such
q series. though he may come through
and surprise the critics.
The same holds true in the case OF
Bedient for the Boston team. He is a
grand twirler. but Buck" O'Brien. on
the other hand. though young to the
big league. has had the baseball ex-
perience to bear up against 1t.
I expect. though. that the brunt OF
the pitching will fall on the shoulders
of Hall and Wood. The former is q
bear for work. does not. know what II
is to be afraid. and 1t at his best in
tight places.
The latterIconsidertobe gbe,F
The latter I consider to be equaled
by only one man now pitching-Wal-
ter Johnson. 1t would not surprise me
q little bit to see Joe Wood win three
games in the first four days Of the con-
tests.
Speaker. too. in my opinion, will be
another very great stumbling block for
McGraw. He will. I think. be the first
big star player who will live up to his
previous reputation, and perhaps sur
pass It. in a worlds series.
Cobb and Wagner and other head
liners have faded and fallen down,
hut take 1t from me Spoke will be
there with bells on all the way
through. He is a natural ball player,
in the game for the love of it. and the
bigger the crowd and the greater tho
excitement. the better he goes.

ALL BULL CON.
This No-Basr Stealing Game II
Series,

One of the funniest things about the
advance notices of the coming worlds
series between the Red Sox and the
Giants is the fact that each side ex-
poets to steal bases. Up in Boston
they figure that big Injun" Meyers
can't throw a little bit. SO that the
Red SoA will caper from bag to bag
at will. In New York they say there
isn't a catcher on the Boston staff who
can stop a base runner and that the
Giants will just revel on the cush-
ions. 1t would be lailariously comical
If both theories were right and the
games became a wild riot of base run
ners, flying from crag to crag and
boosting up the scores ad libitum.
