ALL IN READINESS
FOR WORLDS
SERIES
BATTLE BETWEEN GIANTS AND
RED sox FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
GREATEST EVER.

New York, Oct. THE browning
event of the professional baseball
season is at hand. The series for
the worlds championship between
the New Yorks, twice champions of
the National League, and the BOs
tons, winners of this years penant in
the American League, will begin on
the Polo Grounds in this city tomor-
row. Today the umpires, official
scorers and respective owners of the
contrasting clubs met with the Ma
tional Commission to receive instruc-
tions and perfect the final details for
the series, which will continue until
one of the teams has won four of
the seven games scheduled. The
games will alternate daily between
this city and Boston.
1t is scarcely an exaggeration to
say that, with a large proportion of
the public at least, the presidential
campaign now on will drop into second
place in interest while the world SER
les is being fought out. From the
hour that the umpire cries "Play
Ball" tomorrow until the champion
ship flag is cinched by one or the
other of the contesting teams the tens
of thousands of baseballs fans, from
Hudson Bay to the City of Mexico,
from Coney Island to Manila, will
crowd around the tickers, scan the
bulletin boards and buy the news
paper extras.
Probably no series that has ever
been played in baseball will attract
the attention this one will, and pro
badly no series, the weather being
suitable, will equal it in attendance.
And what time those twenty-three
eligible Giants and twenty-one Red
SoX when the financial mellon is
sliced after the series is completed.
The Polo Graunds has been put ir
shape to accommodate nearly $4,000
spectators, while Fenway Park. the
will take care of at least 10000 and
probably more. AS the prices are
more than doubled at these games,
the receipts for the past season series
this years should greatly exceed those
of any other series in the past. and
the winning players are pretty sure
of making rake-off of from $4,000
to $4,000 each. II the series should
go to the limit the profits of the
club owners should be enormous.
AS to what the series will bring
forth the partisan fans have been key
ed up to a high pitch trying to con-
vince themselves and others why
their favorite team cannot lose. In
view Of the fact that the Giants are
veterans, even when It comes to con-
testing for the worlds flag, while the
Boston Red Sox might almost be
termed novices In comparison, it is
somewhat surprising that so many
newspaper critics and others well
versed in the national game should
pick the Hub players to win. The
average New Yorker, of course, can
see nothing to it but McGraw's team
but it is a noticeable and significant
fact that around the Broadway hotels
and other places where sporting men
there appears to be a
ready taker for every bet offered on
the Giants. Whichever way the SER
les goes, there is already one thing
that seems certain, and that is that
a larger amount Of money will change
hands on the result than has ever
been the case before.

I Taft's reelection only his friends
will control the patronage in Texas
in the future. The whole matter is
an effort to use the power of appoint
rment for political prestige and the
salaries paid by the government to
bring about political support The
same situation which obtains in Tex
as exists also in West Virginia, and
the full power of federal patronage
will be brought to bear on the office
holders in West Virginia and their
friends in the presidential campaign
of this year,
= Congressman Hamilton made a
speech in the House last Tuesday and
called to the attention of that body
the situation Of which all West Vir-
ginians. would pc proud He was
| speaking in favor of the river and
harbor bill and brought out the fact
that while the bill appropriates about
SGT 600, 900, more than one-fourth
of it is for the Ohio River, and of the
total amount for the Ohio River
about three-foHrths will be spent in
West Virginia. Incidentally, he re-
marked that the greater part of the
amount to be expended in West Vir-
ginia will come to his own district.
Never before the present Congress
has so large proportion of the ap-
preparations carried by any river and
harbor bill come to the Ohio River,
and never before has West Virginia
received SO large an appropriation for
waterway Improvement. This is but
one of the many instances of what
the Democratic Congressman from
West Virginia are accomplishing for
their state which has never been
done before
The Department of Agriculture has
made public figures which show that
for the month Of January, 1912,
Senator Watson's proposition to
place potatoes on the free list up to
September l. 1912 would have saved
the people of the country more than
100000. If potatoes should be inn

We're brought into this country in

bill will pass and in order to assist
him in the matter Congressman Da-
Wis has introduced a bill in the
House removing the duty from po-
tatoes until September l, 1912
The final testimony bearing on the
citizenship Of Congressman James A,
Hughes has been filed with the House
Committee on Elections No. 4, and
1t is expected that the committee will
be ready to make report within the
next few weeks. A meeting will be
held within a few days at which the
committee will pass upon the case
and report will then be prepared
for presentation to the House. No
intimation has been given by the
committee as to what it's finding will
be in the case. But, it Is known that
Mr.. Hughes was greatly alarmed
when he asked for additional time in
which to produce more testimony.
The additional testimony has not
been made public so it is not known
whether his case was strengthened
or not
