Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October S-Nith one en-
ception-and that was last year-the team
which has Won the first game in a world S
base ball series has been declared the
winner. Last year, however, tradition
was upset and the Giants, after beating
the Athletics on opening day, won but
one game of the next five.
This first game today is very apt to de-
eide the question of supremacy this year.
If Boston should lose. with Joe Wood
working the odds would immediat ely ia
yor the Giants. not only because of the
advantage that one victory would give
McGraw's team, but the moral effect of
such "A victory would be decidedly far
reaching. To begin with. Wood is the
most feared man of the Boston staff. The
Red SoN admit that they rely on his ef-
fectiveness to win the series, and should
he be beaten in his first effort it is held
that he would be useless in the rest of
the series.
Furthermore there would be lot of
difference in the Boston team after a VIC
tory and after defeat. 1t is young
team. not accustomed to the strain OF a
worlds series. To win would inject that
confidence which Is so much needed, while
10 lose might have a dIScouraSlnS eIcct
Giants Have Edge in Experience.
1t is in this respect that the Giants
have an advantage. They have been
through the mill before. McGraw's team
is virtually the same one which fought
with the Athletics last year. 1t will not
be pitted against SO desperate foe this
year as it was then, and the players are
sure to stand their ground better as a
result of their experience than Will
comparatively green team like the Red
SoX
That is the way base ball men dope the
situation. and gradually sentiment is
to the conclusion that this worlds series
is between two teams which apparently
have an even chance.
1t stands to reason that both sides will
figure on doing lot of manipulating with
their pitchers. Stahl Will naturally want
to place Wood so that he will stand the
best possible chance to win. To have
Wood start off with a victory will mean
much: to have him defeated will prove
disastrous. Not until the megaphone man
makes his announcement just before the
game today will any one have positive
knowledge as to the batteries. Neither
leader has done much talking regarding
his selection, because both may find them
selves in position where it will be policy
to change plans.

Scalpers Get Few Tickets.

While a few hundred tickets fell into
the hands of scalpers and were sold at
exorbitant prices, the handling of this
years ticket sale was along splendid lines
and conducted in most satisfactory
manner. With half a million people anX-
iOuS to see the contest and with room
for about 10000. 1T can be ina gined what
a scramble there was when the tickets
We're placed on sale yesterday morning.
Men and women stood i'm line all night
and far into the day waiting for an OPP
portunity to purchase seats. The line
waiting to get to the box Office windows
was miles long and there We're many who
had to give up their positions from sheer
exhaustion.
These worlds series games are becon-
ing problem. The demand for seats is
SO much greater than the accommoda-
tions that it is a very unwieldy propo-
sition to handle. Interest in these games
is increasing with every year. and in four
or five years from now new methods for
distributing tickets will have to be de-
viSed.
Those who claim to be familiar with
conditions insist that Mathewson again
will be the hero of the series. The vet
eran twirler, who for weeks has been
picked as soft snap for the Boston
sluggers. is heralded to be the hardest
proposition of all of McGraw's staff,
though there seems to be little in his
work of late to warrant such confidence.

Marquard and Tesreau Fit.

Umpire KLEIN, who has been working
behind the New York pitchers for the past
ten days, thinks that both Marquard and
Tesreau will go we'll in the series. He
has 1t that the last trial of this pair
showed both to be on edge. and he fig
ures that McGraw's chances rest largely
with them. There is no doubt that if
Tesreau is the pitcher he is reputed to be
his presence on the staff greatly
helps the Giants. Last year Mathewson
and Vanguard really had to do all the
work. The other pitchers were not figured
on at all. and if Tesreau can come in and
help ont this pair it may make a wonder
full difference.
Though little has been said of the
chances of Buck O'Brien against the
Giants. there are those who figure that
the former Denver star is going to cut a
figure against McGraws men. OBrien
has been showing his very best form of
late, and the fact that he uses the spit
ball quite lot is liable to bother the
Giants. for it is argued they have never
had "A chance to become accustomed to
this delivery for the reason that the Ma
tional League can boast of few pitchers
who use the moistened delivery. and a
soft ball might prove troublesome III at
least one game.

Claim Boston Beat Easier Teams.

Not a few of the game followers claim
that the Stahl aggregation did not face as
many strong teams as the McGraw con-
tenders battled against. Both teams won
close to the same number OF games in
their respective leagues. the Red Sox hav-
ing a slight advantage in winning per-
centage Stahl's crew also dstanced its
closest rivals a few games more than the
Giants. But it is argued they had the
easier road to travel. conccdins that the
leagues are about of even strength.
There We're few teams in the American
League able to give the champions a
fight. while the Giants We're compelled to
tussle with at least two formidable con-
tenders Pittsburgh and Chicago We're a
pair of mighty big stumbling blocks in
the path of the McGraw bunch. and Gin
cinnati, too. for at least a part of the
season. was n strong contender.
For the last week, and more. there
have been thousands of words written to
tell why the Giants cannot beat the Bos-
tons. and why the BOstons are not likely
to win from the Giants. The man who
has been lucky enough to guess right
and all OF them are gueSsing-will wear
war paint for the next year. and the
other fellows who didn't guess right will
put all tNc blame on the losing club.

Boston's Chances Against the New York
Giants Rests Largely With
Pitcher Joe Wood.

concerned for he has the confidence OF
his teammates, and his presence on the
slab may have the effect of taking some
of the starch out Of McCiraWs men.
Although Connie Mack is credited with
the statement that Jake StaEl possesses
a team superior to his worlds champions,
the opinion is general among close fol-
lowers of the sport, that the Red SoX
of today cannot be compared with the
team that sent the Giants to defeat last
fall.
There is no doubt that the leader of the
Athletics was sincere in making this as
sertion. 1t is probable. though, that he
had reference to the team that fought
through the campaign just closed and not
the one that engaged in the world s
series.
The Red SoX went through the season
moving down all corners, playing game
that was remarkable for its consistency.
They did not lose more than two games
straight at any time until after the flag
was clinched
The Giants. on the other hand. were
everything but consistent. They started
out like world-beaters. making a runaway
race of it. Up to July it was believed
they would break all records for winning
the greatest number of games in a sea-
son. Then came the slump that lasted
almost until the race was over. But
there are a great many fans vino doubt
that the SoX met with as strong opposi-
ton.

HEAVY INCREASE
IN ORE SHIPMENTS
THIRTY PER CENT MORE ORE
MINED IN PAST YEAR THAN IN
1e1o-sPLENDIp SHOWING.

Shipments of ore from Gilpin coun-
ty, sent through Black Hawk during
1911, show an increase Of 80 per cent
over the tonnage sent out during
1919. Two thousand cars were ship
ped last year and 1929 cars during
the twelve months of 1910. The cars
have a capacity of 25 tons, which
would make the total tonnage foc
1911, $4,000 and for 1910, 32,475.
The value of the shipments to the
smelters in 1911 far exceeded that
of the previous year for the reason
that in 1911 a large percentage of
the shipments were concentrates
from the Frontenac mill, which was
not in operation in 1910.
A statement showing the number
Of cars sent from Black Hawk dur
ing 1911, compared with 1910, is CIV

LOCAL POOL HAS
LEASED TROUBLESOME,

A local pool has taken lease on
the Troublesome mine on Winnebago
hill and started work yesterday. The
mine was last worked in January
1909. At that time some very good
ere was taken out.
The Troublesome is owned by w.
c. Stevens, of Black Hawk. 1t is an
old patent-S19. Prior to the time
former lessees worked the Trouble
some, it was idle about forty years.
During 1907 and 1908, $4,000 in ore
was extracted from the mine with
a whim.
The present lessees will clean out
the shaft, using a whim. They will
then put up a shaft building and ma
chinery. The Troublesome shaft is
160 feet deep.

.coRYDON MINE HAS
SPLENDID SHOWING,

The Corydon mine on upper Aca-
DENY hill is extending development;
also shipping some very good ore. A
lease was procured on the property
three months ago from H. NJ. Teller
by local parties. Since that time they
have put up shaft house and ma
chinery. The shaft has been cleaned
out and an air line extended to the
bottom Of the shaft-600 feet.
Until present operations were COM
menced, the Corydon was idle Is or
20 years. The mine always paid well.
The ore is not of free milling char
acter. consequently the bulk of the
mines product is shipped to the
smelters. The smelling ore runs from
$4,000 to $4,000 a ton. One OF the
sub-lessees has ore of very high
grade.
Gilpin observer., 1912-01-04

1t is conservatively estimated that
$4,000 tons. Of Gilpin county ore
were sent via the Newhouse tunnel
From Rollinsville 62 cars were ship
ped last year. The capacity of these
cars are $4,000 pounds or 80 tons.
This would make the total shipments
from Rollinsville 1850 tons.
In mentioning the output of Gilpin
county for 1911. the Denver papers
in their New Years editions are
unit in claiming that the production
showed an increase of ore-third The
value of the ore produced for the
last twelve months is stated by the
Denver News as $1.73O.261. It gives
the precious metal output of Colo
rado during 1911 at s40,O67, ,259.
