TO ARRANGE PLANS
FOR WORLDS SERIES
National Commission, Club
Owners and Managers to
Meet Today.

NEW YORK. September o5.-The play
ing dates and other details of the world g
series will be settled today by the three
members of the national commission,
Chairman August Hermann and Presi-
dents Thomas J. Lynch and B. B.
Johnson of the National and American
leagues. Mr.. Lynch was the only men,
Der of the commission here last night.
His colleagues arrived from the west at
$40 this morning. They went at once to
the home of President John r. Brush of
the New York National League Club in
Pelham Manor and held their meeting
there. The trip to Mr.. Brushs home is
due to the fact that he is suffering from
an injury to his hip received in a recent
automobile accident.
Others present at the meeting will be
President James McAleer and Secretary
Robert McRay Of the Boston American
League. President Lynch said the meet
ing would undoubtedly dispose Of all it's
business by late this afternoon and be
ready to announce the dates and ticket
arrangements for the series tonight.
Mr.. Lynch explained that although the
New York Giants are virtually within
two games OF the pennant, the commits
sion would, in Difference to Chicago s
we'll as New York. The New York-Bos-
ton probabilities. however, will receive
the most attention. The question of in
what city the first game will be played
will be decided as usual by the toss of
a coin by the two club presidents
1t is practically decided that instead
OF alternating games between each city
there will be two contests on consecutive
days in each city, and 1t is believed that
a schedule of six games will be crowded
into the week beginning October Z. I'm
less tie results or weather interferes
this would dispose Of the championship
in single week.
In the hope of preventing the ticket
scandal which marred last years SERIES
the commission will consider this phase
carefully. When asked if the report that
the commission would instruct the clubs
to do away altogether with mail order
sales Of tickets was trustworthy Presi-
dent Lynch said:
Nothing to this effect has been decided
upon. Our slogan is anything to beat
the scalpers. We probably shall not beat
them altogether in New York. but it
must be remembered that there is no city
in the world where the scalping business
is developed to the extent that 1t is here.
and it is great problem to contend
with
President Lynch would not speak as to
the probability that the commission
would leave all of the actual ticket SELL
ing to the two clubs.
Whatever is done.'' he said. will be
under the supervision of the national
commission-closer supervision than ever
before"
Prices will be decided upon at the meet
ing. Those at the Polo Grounds last
years. for the upper tier Of the grand
stand. 81 for the lower tier. 81 for the
bleachers-probably will be in force this
year. At Boston there is a. new stand. a
single-deck affair. and the commission
will decide as to whether three-~ollar
rate shall hold for the entire grandstand
or whether it be divided at So for the
front portion and 81 for the rear seats.
A dollar will be the bleacher rate.
The postponement of the New York
Pittsburgh and philadelphia
double-headers yesterday on account of
rain virtually brings the Giants within
two games of the pennant. 1t is expect
ed that they will win. it during the series
of five games now billed with the Boston
tailenders.
