WASHINGTON. Oct. 1e.--Now that
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
has passed the senate and house
carrying an appropriation to defray
the cost of having the civil service
commission examine all the applicants
for fourth class postmasters. the way
Is clear for beginning the examinations
at once and installing some Of the
new postmasters before Christmas
Virginia is well to the front in the
order in which the examinations will
be held, and It Is possible some OF
the applicants in Virginia will be able
to take the examinations before De-
ccmber LIST.
There are exactly $50 postmasters
OF the fourth class in Virginia alone
and within the next few months IL Is
quite probable there will be approx
fnately 500 new postmasters in the
state.

WORLDS SERIES COST
PUBLIC ABOUT SI,25O,OOO

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.--Not far
short from a million and a quarter
of dollars was the cost of the recent
worlds base ball series to the Ameri-
can public While this amount may
be taken as a fair estimate of money
directly expended, there are many
items that might he added TO the ex-
pease list which are indirectly trace
able to the craze for baseball.
1t Is, perhaps. the most remarkable
tribute to the popularity Of baseball
when more than 10000 persons will
attend five games and pour into the
treasures of the hotels. railroads,
theaters, ticket spectators, club own
ers and players and various other
beneficiaries sums that few years ago
would have appeared grossly exag-
gerated when traced to the national
game. Patrons of baseball have
stamped themselves as liberal spenders
and reckless regarding cost when their
favorite pastime Is concerned. This
applies to out-of-town followers of
baseball. as well as the supporters OF
the Giants,
Comparison With English Receipts.
Lord Northcliffe, during his recent
visit, expressed surprise that the at
tendance was not better at the con-
tests which settled the worlds su-
premacy. he called attention to the
fact that the English association foot
ball championship at the Crystal
Palace, near London. attracts 40, o0U
enthusiastic spectators. But as a mat
ter of fact, the average price at foot
ball game in England Is not much
more than quarter, which makes the
total receipts about $4,000 for the
game. This is about one-half of the
daily receipts at the Polo Grounds.
Since the Giants nsve been winning
the National league championship
with such aggravating regularity
many out-of-town business men ar
ranged their business engagements IN
the East so as to make them fall que
about the date of the worlds series
and these helped to swell the receipts
while not a few fans from distant
cities arranged their vacations in or
der to see the games for the world
championship contests.

GIVE CAPTAIN INCH
ANOTHER COMMAND
MANAGER OF THE URANIUM LINE
WILL NOT DISMISS
HIM

NEW YORK, Oct. ts.-The finest
news that came out of the arrival OF
the Kroonland tonight with Captain
Francis Inch and elghty-seven sur
viyors OF the Volturno, was that the
young commander will soon have an
other ship,
The WATERSHEDS Of the world are
strewn with broken men--shipmasters
who have lost their vessels through
no fault Of their own. but who are the
victims of inexorable custom. That
will not be the fate of the hero OF the
Volturno.
While he was telling the story OF
the frightful twenty-four hours, when
IL seemed that the Nolturno would
burn to the waves with great ships
standing all around her the general
manager of the Uranium line, Edward
o. Thomas. gripped him by the hand
and told him that the line was proud
Of him.
A few minutes later. Mr., Thomas
told your correspondent that Captain
Inch would not suffer because his
ship was gone The Uranium line,
any line, said Mr.. Thomas, needed just
the sort of man that Francis Inch
showed himself to be. The kroonland
brought to New York cleaner, trner
side OF the Volturno disaster. The
crew of the ruined ship were not
towards. Captain Inch. and his Of
ficers, along with Captain kreioohn,
of the Kroonland, and his officers,
contemptuously dismissed as lies all
rumors that there had been mutiny or
q panic.
Pleasanter even than the coming OF
the Kuerfuerst was the arrival OF the
Kroonland. The German liner brought
only men, but the Red Star steamship
saved women and children. Aboard
here were twenty three little folks be-
tween eight months and sixteen years
of age. They had been gentlede and
mothered by the women of the kroon-
lands first cabin. The younge.s of
all was baby Victor Fourneau, who

RICHMOND ACADEMY
PLAYS CHESTER At
BALL PARK TODAY
GAME SHOULD BE INTERESTING
AND GIVE COMPARATIVE

This afternoon, at Broad Street
Park. the Richmond academy foot
ball team will play the team from
the Chester high school.
This game will be the first oppor-
tunity the rival schools In the inter-
preparatory school league have had to
guage the strength of the academy
team. Las, Saturday Captain Pitts
men defeated Blackstone academy
rather handily by the score of 5 to
0, whereas the Saturday before Fork
Union gave the Richmond academy
boys Il good trouncing. to the tune
of 20 TO 0.
Inasmuch as McGuire's and the
Richmond academy are scheduled for
little chatfest on next Wednesday
afternoon at Broad street II is GER
tain McGuire's will be keen watchers
of the game this week,
The Chester team defeated John
Marshall high in rather an uncertain
manner. The high school boys claim
ed the victory was more or less
fluky. because the only score of the
game was made on an intercepted
forward pass, which, by splendid
run, was turned into a touchdown.
Up TO this time. and thereafter, the
teams were evenly matched and
neither could obtain any advantage.
Although comparative scores show
little concerning the relative strength
of the two teams, this Chester
academy game will be some indica-
ton how John Marshall high and the
academy teams will compare.
Coach Griffin has been working his
charges hard during the past two
weeks. He hopes that IL will not he

According to the report Of the nA-
tional commission, which had charge
OF the series, 150,992 persons paid adj
mission II thn five games played The
gate receipts totaled S325,9S0. Tosthis
amount must be added the speculatorS'
fees, which were easily 500. 900.
A conservative estimate places tlse
daily reserved seats and two- dollar
tickets in the hands of the specula-
tors at 5000. Many Of these were
sold at an advance Of from $40 to
$50 for tickets good for three games.
Therefore. with five games. 100000
is not too much to charge to the
spectators column.

series. With the out of-town visitors
there was big representation OF
