Spectators Fail to =
Obtain Series Tickets
From New York Club

NEW YORK. Oct 6.IWhile there was
complaint in some quarters yesterday
over the announcement that there will
be no public sale of reserved seats to
the worlds series this year, Tor the
very simple reason that all the 5000
reserved seats have been taken. the
management of the New York Giants
declares that the move has completely
crossed the spectators.
According to Harry Hampstead,
president Of the club, and Secretary
John b. Foster. every ticket given out
has been carefully registered, and any
that fall into the hands of specula-
tors and are disposed of for more than
the face value Of s. Per ticket, can be
easily traced back to the original pur-
chaser.
The 5000 reservations were taken by
regular patrons Of the club, the ball
players OF the contesting teams, who
are each entitled to a certain number
ur der the rules, the National Commits
sion, managers and members or other
clubs, newspapers and people identified
with organized baseball generally. The
demand for reservations was greater
this year than ever before.
Only the boxes and upper tier of the
grandstand is reserved. Tomorrow
30, 600 seats will be plated on sale at the
Polo Grounds, and as a person buys a
ticket he must Immediately pass through
the turnstile First come, first served,
is the rule. and the management ex-
presses the belief that people going to
the ground as late as 1 o'clock will be
able to SECURE good seats.
ANY speculator who says he can sup
ply tickets in any considerable number
is lying" said Secretary John y. Foster
yesterday. Moreover. IL we hear of
speculator having even a few tickets We
will make a prompt investigation and
endeavor to expose the person who
turned turned them over to

TY COBB'S NAME IS
PUT TOQlfER TEST
Sporting Editor Addresses Let
ter BY Drawing Tie and Ear
of Corn.

There is probably only one person in
enough known to receive a letter ad-
dressed without a word on the envelope.
That there is one such person living
was proved last week, when a letter
went from the Herald" office, Syra-
cuse. n. Y. to Detroit. Mich, and was
delivered into the hands of none other
than Tyrus Raymond Cobb. The en-
velope did not contain a single word.
An artist in the Herald Office took
an envelope and drew on 1t, first, a
sketch of a necktie. Beside this he put
an ear of corn. No address of any kind
was written on the envelope. A stamp
was stuck in the corner and the letter
dropped in a box. Inside the envelope
was a note to Ty Cobb from the sport
ing editor of the Herald"
The letter left Syracuse Friday after
noon. 1t was handed to Ty Cobb at the
Detroit ball park before the start Of the
double header last Saturday afternoon.
according to the following letter re-
ceived from Cobb:
"In answer to your request, l will
say that l. received your test letter in
tne man dt tHe Dali PARK peIOre SsituT-
days double-header. ! don't know just
what time II arrived at the park.
Hoping this is satisfactory. I beg to
remain, very truly. TY COBB.
"P S.-Quite an odd test, but the
artist who did the envelope Is certainly
O. K. 7. r. c."
Before the envelope reached Cobb the
picture puzzle had to be figured out by
several persons in Uncle Sans employ.
1t had to be fathomed in the Syracuse
postoffice. again by railway mail clerks
en- route, and again In the Detroit post
office Despite all this, the letter made
the trip to the Detroit baseball park
into the hands of the addressee in the
usual time of a regularly addressed en-
Velope.

Mr.. Fultz, who is not a player, and has
been out of the game for several years.
We are in sympathy with the fraternity
as such. and will always confer on any
question with an authorized COMMITTEES
of active players, representing the fra
ternity. With outsiders like Fultz we
will have nothing to do, not recognizing
his right to interfere with either players
or officials. We believe that the fra
ternity should consist only of active
players. retiring when they cease to
play ball. When the fraternity is con-
Quoted in this manner We will be glad
to consider all Its requests. But We
shall not confer with Mr.. Fultz at any
time or on any subject" This Is
straight talk and right to the mark,
The fraternity Is foolish to have a man
at its head who does not inspire conf
dence in the higher officials of baseball
Any one of twenty players could be
named who could accomplish more for
their fellows in a month than Fultz car

cred stirring address before the
residents Of Kaimnki last night.

was the largest gathering ever held in
large hall being occupied.
T. M Church, president of the Kali
muki Improvement Club, briefly stated
the object of the meeting, and called
on Senator Al. +. Judd as the first
speaker, who, besides giving a concise
resume of his views on Honolulu's
need of civic spirit published in this
paper on Saturday last, mentioned a
dozen crying municipal necessities
that, If filled as promptly as they
ought to be, would leave little or moth
ing of present available revenue for
the opening of new streets and the
durable paving Of old ones. Hence the
frontage tax appeared to be the only
solution of this urgent problem OF
making a modern city of Honolulu.l
Mr.. Judd's points were applauded as
he made them and when he concluded
the applause was long continued.
Representative s. s. Paxson expa-
tiated somewhat on the difficulties OF
putting through progressive legisla-
ton, frequently raising laugh, and
told of his investigations of municipal
taxes and expenditures in many cities
of the mainland during his recent
trip. The frontage tax systems there
he said were much more drastic and
arbitrary than the measure adopted
here this year, but the results in Sc
attic and some other cities were worth
the sacrifice on the part of the citi-
zens He gave figures to show that
Honolulu was lightly taxed in compar-
ison with various examples in the
states. A later speaker pointed out,
however, that while the assessments
of property in Honolulu we're as high
as 125 per cent of the market value.
those in different mainland cities were
as low as SO per cent or even less.
