 All the members of the national com mission were in the city today, but held no meeting. They appeared more con oerned about distributing among baseball officials and friends their allotment of re served seats than they did in baseball business Early tomorrow they will call before them the four umpres and onielal scorers appointed by the commission Tor final instructions.
 In connection with the world series the Baseball Writers Association of America held a meeting this afternoon and fixed the morning of the second game in New York, which is expected to be Thursday. for the annual meeting and election or officers. One of the things done today by the association, whose members come from every city in the National and Amer ican league circuits, was to appoint TWO official scorers for the association.

 The series promises to be the most suc- cessfu and interesting ever waged upon a diamond in every way. The two con- tenders represent two of the strongest baseball clubs that the game has ever seen, and the choice of critics of the game for the winners is al wide vari- ance. The two associations have made extensive preparation for the series and every convenience and protection possible is offered the patrops. Reports from New York and Boston say that the largest crowds that ever witnessed such con tests are expected.

While the players were going through their forenoon practice, many of those who will be spectators of the game were lined up outside of Fenway park to secure their allotment of reserved seat tickets. More than half of the 15.0o0 reserved tickets have been distributed, and it is expected few will be left when the ticket windows close. Efforts of the spectators to secure reservations to the game here have been frustrated thus far club officials believe. Speeulators have been able to offer one or two tickets where in former years they had almost as many hundreds. The prices exacted vary, but the average for the three game tickets is about $2o

The Onion.

The onion is a vegetable that every.
body dislikes and everybody eats.
People will shudder at the odor Of
the onion on the breath Of some one
else They will draw away and make
faces to themselves like prohibition
fst who Is sitting beside some one far
gone in strong drink, but when they
are placed before platter Of onions
they reach for the nearest one.
The onion Is really one of natures
choicest gifts to man. It is an indie:
pendent thing. 1t asks no favors Of
any one. 1t is thing of beauty In
the garden and a spot of Joy on the
table. II has a perfume, and the per-
fume is all its own. Nothing else In
nature has an onion scent. The onion
/ does not apologize for its odor. With
put that odor, II knows 1t would not
/have any charm whatever.
No odor Of Araby the blest COM
pares with that Of fried onions when
It is waited to the nostrils of the
weary wayfarer about o'clock In the
evening. when he Is footing It Ian
guidly but eagerly along the dusty
highway toward home.
II the onion grew about one to the
acre. or could only be found on misty
mountain peaks guarded by chasms
and glaciers, then onion perfume
would be the sure index Of social posi-.
ton and earnest Romeos would be
avalanching down mountain sides with
onion stalks in their hands and gran
tie slivers In their anatomies.

They'll get a bit more in the way Of pay

But Il runs into quite nice sum. you see,

They'll never be worried about their rent,
there isn't the slightest doubt;
They'll ride in the richest-equipped ma
chimes and loiter in lordly halls.
And travel to revel in wondrous scenes,
and never wear overalls.
I pity the magnates who sell the coal,
their burden is sore to bear,
They fret over problems that try the
soul, they stoop under loads of care
The wee extra quarters they take from US
go to the miners hoard
The magnates will worry and fret and
fuss to pay for their room and board.
The miners will dress in the richest stuffs
and travel in private cars,
With diamond buttons set IN their GUNS
and putting high-priced cigars
That is, they will do It II this increase
which you and pay per ton
Supplies them their ten percent. apiece.

Next winter Til sing while my coal burns
bright, I'll sing in gladstone voice;
I'll MARBLE a lay Of deep delight. I'll carol

Since the price has been raised for his

There is never a king who sits his
throne, a beggar who tunes MS

But into his soul somewhere has grown
this sinuous shape OF mine.
There IL never maid OF high degree, nor
man that is scourged with toll,
But into their dreams drifts the shape OF

time, there Is never a new-told tale,
There Is never surge of the singing

you send to the being who rules
above;
have hidden the pride Of the wrathful
bend, have stifed the signs Of love.
ct have blinded the eyes that were keen
to see the evil that stalked abroad;
And the wonderful light that is flung from
me Is the light OF the cherished gaud.
ct am written today on the mountain side
in the greed that has grubbed for
gold:
I am blazoned today in the barrens wide
where the forests were glad OF old.
you have stolen the grace of the water

gap,
And you pause not TO think how that over
all you are tracing my soulless shape.

Their shout and their song and their
laughter dies when the master Of

Soldiers In Albania on the Mon

Cettinje, Montenegro, Aug. 19.-Ter-
ribIe reports were gaining circulation
in the capital of another massacre of
Christians by Mohammedans in Al
bania.
A band of Mohammedan Arnauts,
supported by Turkish troops, attacked
q section of the Christian population
I'm the Berana district of Albania,
which lies close to the Montenegrin
frontier.
A fierce fight ensued and women
and children are reported to have
been murdered by wholesale. Many
girls were made captive and carried
OF by the Mohammedans.
A large number of Christians and
their families have fed the territory
and taken refuge in Montenegro.
The government has ordered the
minister of war, General Vukotics, to
proceed to the frontier and to person
ally take charge of the situation in an
effort to maintain order
