of bounds unless touched; for in

forward pass on a fourth down, for
a backward pass out of bounds on

dangerous feature Of the game
Last year lot OF penalties were
piled up because of this rule. This
year the players are getting more
used to it. Other comparatively
important causes for a fifteen yard
penalty are failure of a substitute
to report, illegal return of a player
to the game, interference with
fair catch, piling up, hurdling, trip

are others, but you don't often hear

Game For Game, Boston Better.

New York may claim that it is
unfair to do the figuring on the
whole series because five games
were played in Boston and three in
New York. But the first three
games in the Hub were attended by
99,455, who paid s1S4,712. These
figures are nearly as large as those
Of the 102,S54, who paid $21S.425 to

The fans" of Boston were mis-
led on the opening day by the ad
vance stories that there was not
enough room at Fenway park to
accommodate the crowds There
fore, the first days attendance was
smaller than that on the second,
third and fourth days in Boston.
The first days attendance would
certainly have been as large as the
second days had Boston known
that there was room enough for the
fans" This is amply proved by
the fact that on the second day in
the Hub, when Boston knew that
there had been vacant space in
Fenway park the day before, fans"
literally mobbed the place for the
third and fifth games of the worlds
series, and thousands were turned
away.
Had the attendance of the first
day been as large as on the sec
ond day in Boston. as 1t surely
would have been but for the ad
vance cry of insufficient room, the
crowds Of the first three days
would have totaled 10S,021, which
would have been an aggregate of
1000 more than saw the first three
games at the Polo grounds.
Beat PhiIadel phia ito a FRAGILE"
Here is another comparison:
According to the biographies and
the almanacs, Philadelphia is sup
posed to have a much greater pop
ulation than Boston. But Philadel-
phia sent only 71,146 to the three
games of the worlds series played
there last year, as against 99.455
who saw the first three games in
Boston.
Philadelphia paid $120,52S.50 to
see the three worlds series games.
while Boston paid $1S4,712 for the .
first three games played in their
city.
The Athletics won, as the Red
Sox did, and the advance dope"
on the Athletics last year was fully
as alluring as the advance drawing
power of the Red Sox and Giants
this year.
You can't dodge the figures. Bos.
ton has proved that it is the great
est baseball city in the world.
Study the figures, you of the whole
U. S. A., and be convinced.
The following will explain the
first four propositions made in this
story, explaining the falling off of
Wednesdays crowd:
Boston was baseball "broke"-
To- fans" paid nearly a quarter
million dollars to see the games
Of the first week and to take q final
shy at the game Tuesday, when
they thought the championship
ought to be won. That is a lot of
money for any city to spend upon
a week of baseball Fans" who
had seen four games had spent
from 81 to 500 per capita. They
had taken four half days away
from their work. They could spare
no more money-and particularly
they could spare no more time from
business A week of half holidays
is enough to cripple the business
of any hustling American city.
A Matter of Business.
Boston had to resume business
the greater city has a population
Of about a million. About a quar-
ter million of them are productive
men of ages between Is and So OF
the quarter million at least 10000

~ OSTON is the greatest base
n ball city in the world. The
following review of the worlds
series attendance will prove that
assertion--so frequently made-be-
-yond all doubt, forever and ever,
amen.
Boston and New York wonder
why the crowd that saw the de-
Gliding game Of the worlds cham
pionship was only about one-half
the size of those that saw the first
four games in Boston and the three
in New York. The Red SoX man
agement wonders why The New
York management plumes itself
with the belief that had the decid-
ing game been played in New York,
the Polo ground fences would have
burst with the mass of humanity
which would have assembled there
in.
This is the answer:
Ffrst-Boston was baseball
broke"
Second-BoSton had to re-
sumo business and quit talking
baseball, or Boston trade might
have gone stagnant.
Third-Boston had begun to
lose confidence in the team of
which it had expected such
miracles.
Fourth - T h management
made Boston suspicious and
dampened the spirits and the
ardor that brought the earlier
baseball mad crowds to the
game.
What the Figures Show
Had the conditions been re-
versed-had the last games being
played in New York, had the Giants
fallen down as the Red Sox had
fallen, and had the management of
the Polo grounds followed the poll
icy of the Boston management,
lH6IC WOUiQ nave DSeH no larger
crowd at the Polo grounds Wed

park, Notwithstanding New York
has a 100000 population to draw
from. while Boston has 1000 600
to say nothing of visitors
Boston did more for the baseball
magnates and players than any
other city in the country outside Of
New York. with it's 100000 popu-
lation, has ever done. This year
Boston's 100000 did even more
than New York's 100000.

S490,SSS for the privilege.
Boston contributed 149,1S3 at

 Only few years ago tungsten was in very much the same position as tel lurium Is now. Then 1t was found to be highly useful in the manufacture. of incandescent lamps and tool steel. till today 1t would seem probable that with a cheaper supply it will become one of our most potent minor metals.
