Ticket Sellers Figure
In Selling Scandal.

New York, Oct. l0.-John b. Foster
secretary of the New York National
League Baseball Club, was to appear
before the grand jury, Thursday, to tell
what. if anything, he knows about
the operations of spectators in World
Series tickets. He was served with a
subpoena, last night, on his return
from Philadelphia.
Mr.. Foster was quoted, early in the
week. as saying that more than a hun
dred tickets had reached the hands
of spectators through attaches of the
district attorneys office and other city
departments. He subsequently repu-
dated the interview, but District At
torney Whitman determined to make
an investigation.
A few hours after Secretary Fos-
ter's conference with District Attor-
ney Whitman, a ticket seller was ar
rested at the Polo grounds, after he
had, it is charged, disposed of block
of 101 lower stand 50 tickets to a
man believed to be a go-between for
spectators. President Harry N.
Hampstead of the New York Club, who
appeared later as complainant against
the prisoner, said he hoped the arrest
would result in exoneration of the
club to the public in the matter of
speculation.
Detectives watched the suspected
go-between as he approached a ticket
window in the long line waiting to
purchase admittance to today's game
between the Giants and the Athletics.
Detectives say they saw Richard j..
Donovan, a ticket seller, hand the go
between white paper covered packet.
The go-between, after a fight, was
taken to the clubs office, where the
tickets were found on him. Donovan
was arrested. On him, it is said. were
found two $50 bills and a piece of pa
per containing the names of some men,
one of them connected with the clubs
affairs. In a magistrates court Dono-
van was held in $500 bail on a charge
of violating the anti-tipping statute.
The alleged go-between made corro-
borating affidavit against Donovan and
was allowed to go.
President Hampstead said an inves-
tigation established the innocence Of
the men whose names were found in
Donovan's possession

RETURN OF RARE BIRDS.
New York Naturalists Report Species
That Have Been Missing for Years.

1t appears that birds are becoming
more numerous in New York state.
This applies not only to the ordinary
Kinds, but to rare species as WE'LL
These facts are set forth in report
made to the conservation department
by George F. Guelph, a naturalist. of
Brockport. Monroe county.
Mr.. Guelph fer two years has given
the public the benefit of his observa-
tons Of bird migration along the shores
of Lake Ontario. In this years re-
port he mentions having seen species
that nave for many years been almost
or wholly unknown in this part of the
country. The filing of the report at
this time is timely. as the cunning sea-

opens tomorrow.
There are now more than 200 species
of birds which may be looked for reg
ularly along the lake during the time
of migration, Mr. Guelph reports. There
are also about twenty species that can
be seen occasionally, and twelve which
have been seen but "a few times and are
rare. ~
A Hudson curlew, willet, and a
knot, birds rarely found in western
Now York were seen there this year.
Mr.. Guelph says. The knot is bird
that goes far into the Arctic regions to
breed, and it migrates in winter to the
extreme southern part OF South Ameri-
ca.
A blue goose, one of the rarest Of the
larger water fowl, also was seen this
year. There are only six records of its
having been seen before in this State.
Gallkpules. or mud hens,' are more
plentiful this season than for several
years. Black ducks have been common
throughout the season, Mr.. Guelph
says, and early ducks are more p1en-
tiful now than they have been for a
long time. Mr.. Guelph says that prob
ably there will be good duck shooting
