base ball. He has kept record of every
seat disposed of and has collected nearly
scheduled for this city. His report to the
commission covers every detail and is
without an error, at least that is the way
1t looked yesterday.
Spectators at Bay.
Leading ticket spectators admitted
yesterday that they were up against
hard game. They concede that the COM
mission so far had beaten them at every
point. The fact that tickets for reserved
seats already sold will not be delivered
until Monday is hard blow for the
scalperS. for the reason that IL they Sc
cure any of them there will not be much
time left to dispose of them at fancy
prices before the series begins Tuesday.
When the public sale of 1900 reserved
seats for each Of the three games here
begins Monday morning the commission
will have a dozen private detectives on
duty outside Of the Polo Grounds. In
usual vigilance will be exercised by the
sleuths in picking out supposed agents of
SPECTATORS who may take. places in the
lines. If "a person Who has purchased
two tickets for the first game gets into
the line again he will be spotted and can
not buy again when he reaches the box
office second time.
Persons who try to buy tickets from
fans who have secured them legitimately
will be arrested, it is said, charged with
violating the law. When the sale of I'M
reserved seats begins Tuesday morning
the police will draw a dead line at Sth
avenue and 155th street, which will make
1t impossible for SPECTATORS to get near
the lines of patrons leading to the ticket
windows. Persons who do not fall into
one of the regular lines will be compelled
to remain south of 155th street. With
these rules and regulations in effect the
commission believes that ticket speculat-
Ing Will be reduced to a minimum.
Heydler again called attention to the
fact that holders of reserved seats in
the upper tier of the grandstand must
use tho Speedway entrances exclusively.
They will not be admitted at the sth
avenue gates. which will be at the dis
posal Of those who buy 10000 unreseryed
tickets Tuesday morning. No unreserved
tickets will be sold at the Speedway por-
tails. so that confusion will be impossible.
Watch Doyle and Meyers.
The Red Sox have been warned by
McAleer. Connie Mack and members of
the Athletics to look out for Larry Doyle
and Chief Meyers. These Giants are re-
garded az the most dangerous flitters on
McGraw's team. Plank and Cooml.s have
pitchers that Doyle and Meyers are lila
BILE to hit anything that comes over the
plate" Herzog. too. has been tabled as
probable factor with the stick. AS for
the other Giants, the Red Sox pitchers
have been told of the weak points dis
played by them in the worlds series last
fall and are expected to profit thereby.
In the secret practice in Philadelphia
drilled in holding the base runners close
to the bags. The Athletic boxmen show
ed how successfully this method worked
last year. when Lapp and Thomas were
able to head off the New York base steal
ers. Mack took the trouble to put Eddie
Collins. Baker. McInnis and other fast
Quakers on the bases to test the Boston
pitchers in this respect. 1t is known that
the Red SoX believe that Cady is better
thrower than Carrigan, but the latter
probably will have his arm fit, as he is
taking a needed rest these days.
1t Is true that since capturing their re-
spective pennants the Giants and the Red
Sox have been allowed to break strict
training for few days. This idea is be-
lieved to be productive of excellent re-
suits. The strain of fighting for the pen
nants made some OF the men stale, while
others were exceedingly nervous. The
rest and relaxation will do these players
much good, 1t is said. but the screws will
be put on again, beginning today. Man.
ayers McGraw and Stahl expect to have
the teams keyed up to the top notch with
everyb body on his toes.
Betting on various propositions Went

that McGraw will rely upon Mathewson
to pitch next Tuesday. Matty's expert
ence and nerve. coupled with his excellent
physical condition. may instill the Giants
with more confidence when they see
Wood warming up. Those who think
Matty will be sent to the firing line in
