This notice appeared in store window
not far from Broadway and 42d street
yesterday. Inquiry developed the infor-
nation that as soon as reserved seat
tickets for the games between the Giants
and the Red Sox are placed on sale
agents for spectators will attempt to
make purchases. But how successful this
plan will be remains to be seen. When
President Lynch of the National League
who is a member of the commission,
heard about the notice In the window he
declared offhand that the commission
might decide to hold back the sale Of
reserved seats until the day of each
game. But yesterday afternoon the COM

the third will be open to persons who
want to attend Saturdays affair-if the
series requires more than four games.
According to John. A. Heydler no person
will be allowed to buy more than two
will afford chances for 1900 persons to
see at least one of the games in this CITY.
1t will be hard to discriminate against
agents Of spectators. but the lateness of
the sale Is expected to prove handicap.
The face value of each reserved seat
is SO.
Heydler's figures show approximately
that the national commission has re-
served seventy-ffve seats The metropoli-
tan newspapers have taken about LOGO
club has received 1000 seats, which go
to the stockholders, season boxholders,
players and others who enjoy the favor
of the clubs officials. Organized base

league clubs, get 500 seats. The Red
Sox management has secured 300 seats.
while about $50 have been divided be-
tween the New York Americans and the
Brooklyn Nationals. All of these seats
were paid for before o'clock last even

sion. A majority of these allotments Will
cover three games here
Heydler made 1t plain yesterday that
no more applications for reserved seats
would be recognized, and that after the
sale next Monday morning there will be
nothing doing until the box Offices are
opened. at o'clock Tuseday morning.
Then $1,000 unreserved seats will be Of

the lower grandstand at So each. In be-
ginning this sale at o'clock in the morn

crowding or confusion in Sth avenue. for
the reason that under pressure the 10000
tickets could be sold in a trifle more Than
two hours. AS the game begins at =
o'clock. there will be six hours to ac-
commodate an IN accordance with the
It Is estimated that the receipts for
Tuesdays game will reach $50 600. The
high water mark last year exceeded ST.
OO. but many seats that fell into the
hands OF spectators remained unsold.
Under the new arrangement it is fieured
that all of the $1,000 seats will be ia zen.
and there may be standing room for a
few thousands more in the broad prone-
made in the rear Of the grandstand. The
commission will see to 1t that the rules
are strictly obeyed. so that the aisles will
be kept clear. also the exits.
I'VE could have disposed of all OF the
$500 seats In the upper tier to those privi-
legged to ask for them in ADVANCE" said
Heydler yesterday, but we limited the
applications. We have been careful in al.
lotting seats ahead of the public sale. and
nobody has been accepted without the
registering of his name and address We
have tried to treat everybody fairly and
fdent that the cry against SPECTATORS
will not be heard this time. In short, we
have tried to protect the fans with as
little Inconvenience as possible, and we
have that we have been successful. Tic &
