NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-There was
distinct "iust before the battle" air
about New York today With the last
figured figured and the final bit of dope
carried out TO the limit, the only thing
left was to wait for the opening strug
gle between the Athletics and Giants to-
morrow.
As final topic of discussion, how
ever, the possibility of Fred Snodgrass
being kept out of the Giant lineup has
bobbed up. Indications today were that
Snodgrass might not be able TO get into
the early games at least. The charlie
horse which he mounted in Brooklyn a
couple of weeks ago is still with him TO
some extent It may be completely
worked out before the series close, but
should Snodgrass not be able TO appear,
Tilly Shafer will probably go to the
outheld and Herzog will perform at
third base.
Added to the trouble of Snodgress, it
is admitted that Larry Doyle is not in
the best of shape. His shoulder, injured
ia an automobile accident, is still a lit
tie sore. Doyle probably has a better
chance Of starting in the series thar
Snodgrass, but McGraw will not take
any chance of Larry pulling a vile
throw or failing to hit because of the
shoulder.
The Giants would be materially
weakened without the services Of Snod
grass and Doyle Shafer could 60 il
for Snodgrass and Herzog look afte
third and there would be no loss o.
fielding OF batting strength. Will
Doyle out, however, the situation woulC
be different. Shafer would then go L
second and Mccormick would probably
be sent to the outfeld. Doyles condi
tion is not serious, but he has not beer
playing up to form by a mile.
AS no worlds series is complete
without a muss over the tickets, II
appeared that the annual protest
from and the explanation from the
magnets was we'll on the way today
Thousands OF out-of-town followers
of the two teams arrived here Sun
day and today only to discover that
all reserve seats had been sold for
the opening game. The only way the
local bugs, as well as the visitors,
have OF witnessing the nrst combat
is to take their place in line tomor-
row morning and scramble for the
unreserved sections. Last year about
1000 reserved seats were left to be

placed on sale after the demands
of the National Commission and other
baseball organizations had been met.
Secretary Foster vigorously denied
that there was any chance that the
tickets could fall into the hands of
spectators. There was an ingrown
desire on the part OF the thousands
who we're frozen out, however, to
just where the pull" that swept
away 10000 seats came from.
The commission met at 10 o'clock
to have its final say. Part OF this
SAY" may be as TO the disposition
of the tickets. Whether the quarrel
with the ball-playing authors Is to be
pressed further apparently depends
on the attitude Ban Johnson will take
when the commission opens this dis
cussion The players are writing to
their hearts content and Chairman
Hermann seemed to favor dropping
the argument until after the series
He is firm in his stand, however, that
rule should be passed prohibiting
baseball reporters being overwoiessd
through writing the stuff over which
the name Of some player appears.
II was accepted in New York today
that Mathewson and Bender would be
the opposing pitchers tomorrow No one
knew, but as the switch from Matty re-
suited in a defeat when Tesreau started
last year, the Giant followers were con.
hdent McGraw would look TO the "Old
