Just because the national baseball
commission wanted to make a small
fortune out of the movies we shall
be denied the pleasure of witnessing
the worlds series in moving pictures
this fall and winter. The moving
picture men agreed among themselves
that the prices asked by the commits
sion were way out of reason and re-
fused to come across.
The national baseball commission
must be composed of very high class
financiers. Fans will attend the
worlds series not to see that prec-
ious commission or the club owners.
Yet the latter will get all the receipts
after four games, and 40 per cent
of the first four, except 10 per cent
of the total which the commission
pulls down. This is one hefty argu-
ment in favor Of having the players
represented on the commission.

The BIG SERIES
OPENS TODAY
IN new YORK
BOSTON RED sox REACH THE
> CITY IN FINE TRIM FOR THE
FIRST GAME THIS AFTERNOON.

New York, Oct. THE Boston
American League baseball team arriv-
ed here tonight for tomorrows open
ing game of the worlds series with
the New York National League team.
Manager flake" Stahl, of Boston, said
that every player of Boston is lit for
the opening game. He is so we'll
satisfied that the team will hold no
morning practice tomorrow as origin
ally planned.
New York played a practice game
with the New York American team
this afternoon, which the Americans
won to 2. Russell Ford pitched for
the Americans and a few of the regu-
lars of the Nationals participated
throughout the game. Neither Mar
guard, Mathewson or Tesreau pitched
WHICH TEAM WILL WIN?
Speculation as to which of the Bos-
ton or New York players will come
through as the hero of the worlds
series formed an interesting topic
among fans who gathered here today.
Every post season set of games in
the past has had it's star.
In 1903 it was Dineen, pitcher for
the Boston Americans and now an
umpire of the American league, who
defeated the Pittsburgs three times.
Christy Mathewson was the man of
the hour in 1905. George Rohe, a.
practically unknown player, made two
timely triples in 1906, enabling the
Chicago Americans to defeat the Chi
cago Nationals. Johnny King. of the
Chicago Nationals, broke up the De-
troit hit and run combination in 1907,
while Frank Chance in 1908 made sew
enteen hits in twenty-one times at
bat Adams, of the Pittsburg team.
beat Detroit three times in 1909, while
Eddie Collins was the big star in 1910
and Franklin Baker last season.
The New York team has some home
run hitters who may do the Baker
act in the coming series. They have
made IS home runs this year and they
have done their best batting against
the best pitchers.
Larry Doyle and Fred Merkle have
been particularly successful in this
business of striking four base hits.
The records show that each man has
made. ten. Beals Becker and Chief
Meyers have each made six, while
Johnny Murray, Fred Snodgrass and
Arthur Wilson got three four base hits
piece. Every one of Wilson's home
runs meant a New York victory in a
game where the changes previously
did not look any too promising.
MANY IN LINE.
Sunrise on this, the day before the
opening of the worlds championship
baseball series in New York, found
more than 500 men and boys at the
Polo grounds. Sitting around bon
fires, they had waited all night for the
first chance at the 1000 upper grand

to buy two tickets. At the sale Of

sold to a person. This is an eleventh

lators.

WEEK Is THE WORD.

similar Conditions Are Reported From
O,hc. Ciues-Kailway Schcd-

Oklahoma today is facing a beef
famine. The available supply OF beef
IN oklahoma at the present time is
about nil, but this condition will be
remeuied within the next few days,
and possibly within two days.
The reason is a peculiar one and can
be traced directly to the severe cold
spell which has held the entire coun-
try tight in its grasp tho past week.
The heavy SHOWS and low tempera-
lures have played havoc with railroad
schedules, and throughout the middle
west. practically none but passenger
trains nave been running since last
Saturday.
Tulsa derives its meat supply from
Kansas City and Chicago, but with the
exception Of small shipments, no beef
has arrived In Tulsa or other Okla
home cities since last week, and the
visible supply has been practically ex-
hausted by the steady demands of local
consumers.
Local butchers reported yesterday
that their supply of fresh meat was
all but gone. and unless additional sup
plies reached them today Tulsa
would 20 beefless for few days.
Similar conditions are reported
from Oklahoma City, Muskogee and
other towns.
Indeed, this cold weather plays
strange pranks on oklahoma.
