come from the newspaper men
because of fear or any jeal-
ousy, but because the scribes
believed it was detrimental to the
game and that the players shouldn't
be allowed to do it. But McGraw
and some of the others rebel and defy
the National Commission and the
newspaper men. 1t is an old story,
the one about the long road that
hasn't turn. Well, McGraw, with a
team of champions at his side, is in
the middle. of that road just now.
Later on, perhaps, he and the others
will come to a sharp turn and they
may not be able to make it. They
will cry for help, of course, and rush
to the newspaper men for protection.
All this may come about when the
Baseball Players Fraternity kicks up
its heels and declares war on the vari-
Gus leagues. The players who are
now taking the reporters places will
boiler wolf when their places are be-
ing filled. They will want the scribes
Of today to fight their battles of to-
morrow. and If the scribes should say
no the players would feel as If they
were being abused. But that is the
way the world over. and ball players
are no exception.

The worlds series puts the fans in
a terrible stew. 1t is one thing to get
the money to buy a ticket and II is
another thing to get a ticket for the
money. Thousands want to go to see
the games, but it takes too much
time and it is too much trouble to get
the tickets and get there The same
conditions arise this year that have
arisen for years, only more so, per-
haps few of the favored ones, in
Guiding the city officials, the various
baseball clubs and the newspapers
will get their tickets in the same old
way, but the kind and considerable
public-the persons who really make
the game possible. make 1t as big as
1t isis forced to struggle and scram.
BILE and crowd its way hither and
thither in order to be able to add 81,
81 or So to the Golfers of the angry
mob of baseball. an appellation given
to the worlds series clubs.

The poor public is out stronger than
ever this year to see the big games
and the powers-that-be have made it
no easier for the fans to get into the
grounds. That is one way to draw
the crowd. Make things scarce and
there Immediately becomes a demand
for them. Thus the demand for
worlds series tickets.
O.
Now that you know how hard it is
to get the tickets, you may be inter-
ested in knowing how to get them. 1t
is much easier in the telling than it
is in the actual accomplishment
First of all. don't begin to worry now,
for you won't be able to get a peek
at the precious jewels" until next
Monday. On that day you may wend
your way to the Polo Grounds and
stand boldly in line, providing, of
course, you have SO for a series ticket
calling for three reserved seats. Now,
IL you haven't the 80, don't go near
the grounds, for tickets for the COM
plete New York end of the series only
will be put on sale. You may have to
stand in line any number of hours,
but the next day you will be Johnny
on-the-spot. Now, IL you have only a
few dollars to spare and would like to
see one of the games, just bide your
time and make your way to the Polo
which is next Tuesday. OF course.
everybody will feel that he must go
there early, so a tremendous crowd
will form in line the night before to be
there on time. That will be fine for
the fellow who has the keen concep-
ton of such affairs. for he will come
along about 1 o'clock and find that
there is almost a clear field for him to
go up to the box office and buy his
ticket. That is the way 1t has been
in previous years. Why not this
year?

To the Newark fans my advice is,
take your time and profit by expe-
rience. The Polo Grounds holds more
than $4,000 and there Is room for all
who will want to go. The reserved
seats at SO are no better than the
general admission seats at 81. To be
over at the Polo Grounds at O'Clock
on the day of the contest will insure
you admissions good seat in the
grandstand. II you want to go to
the next game do the same thing,
only you will find plenty of room for
the other days while the opening day
is sure to find things rather crowded.
OF course. II everybody waited. as ad-
vised, there would be fine mess
made of it, but everybody won't
J wait, don't fear, and the usual early
