is admitted that Larry Doyle is not in
the best of shape. His shoulder. in

little sore. Doyle probably has a bet

the shoulder.
The Giants would be materially weak

the situation would be different Shafer
would then go to second, and McCor-

AS no worlds series is complete with
out muss over the tickets. 1t appeared
that the annual protest from the fans
and the explanation from the magnateS
was well on the way today.
All Seats Are Sold.
Thousands of out-of-town followers Of
the two teams arrived here Sunday. and
today only to discover that all reserved
seats had been sold for the opening
game. The only way the local bugs. a.
well as the visitors. have of witnessing
the first combat is to take their place In
line tomorrow morning and scramble for
the unreserved sections. Last year
about 1000 reserved seats were left to be
u1Aced on sale after the demands OF
the National Commission and other
baseball organizations had been met.
Secretary Foster, OF the Giants, Wig
orously denied today that there was any'
chance that the tickets issued could fall
into the hands of spectators. There
was an ingrown desire on the part OF
thousands who were frozen out, how
ever. to learn from the national COM
mission just where the pull that swept
away $1,000 seats came from.
May Drop Matter.

discussion. The players are writing to
their hearts content, and Chairman
Hermann seemed to favor dropping the
argument until after the series. He Is
