LUCK WILL BE
A BIG FACTOR
IN The SERIES
Stage is Set for Final Act of
the 1913 Baseball Drama.
Thousands Gather in New
York for Games.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct 6.-The stage is SCI
and tomorrow the curtain will rise or
the final act Of the 1913 baseball drama
The Philadelphia Athletics and New
York Giants are behind the scenes
ready for the hour sending them into
the limelight of the worlds series
while spectators from all parts of the
United States are ready for a rush on
the Polo grounds.
Unsettled conditions" is the predic-
! tion of the weather bureau. The series
promises sensational baseball with luck
playing a part of more than the usual
Importance.
RESERVED SEATS SOLD.
The casual fan who arrived today
found all the 5000 reserved seats dis
posed OF. and nothing left for him to
do but get in line at the Polo grounds
early tomorrow morning, when the
10000 unreserved seats are thrown
open.
1t was said again today that it was
doubtful whether Snodgrass, the Giants
centerfielder. who is suffering with
charley horse" would be able to take
part in the series. Doyle's injured
shoulder has completely recovered, it
is said. and it is expected he will be
in the opening game. If Snodgrass
does not play, it Is probable that
Shafer vii ltake his place in the field
and Herzog will go to third base.
Betting on the series has been light.
A few big bets have been recorded, but
neither team can be called the ia
vorite. An even money proposition has
been the rule in most bets
At an exhibition game with the Phil
ade1phia Nationals today the Giants
had their final workout.
How many tickets the specula tors
have been able to get was a matter of
general discussion prior to today's ma
tional commission meeting. 1t was
said IL it developed that they had Sc
cured any considerable number of
choice seats the commission would in
stitute an investigation. It was said
private detectives employed by the
commission would be at ticket agencies
today and If successful in buying
tickets at these places would attempt
to learn the names of the original
buyers and how they obtained them.
All police arrangements have been
completed for handling the vast crowds
at the Polo grounds. One hundred
and fifty men have been detailed for
tthe work
! So far as could be learned specuIa-
tors had no tickets this afternoon to
any of the games, but they say they
expected TO get in few during the
day. For these they were wiling to
take $50 for the series of three games
The seats offered at this price were
those in the upper grandstand, mark
ed SO each.
President Hampstead of the New
York club. offered today to give $4,000
TO charity If any person could prove
that the club or any one connected
with it In the sale of tickets had made
a dollar by permitting them to fall into
SPECTATORS hands.

GUN CLUB HAS
MEETING WITH
MANY PRESENT
NAMES COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP
MATTER OF A HANDICAP SHOOT
DURING THE INTERSTATE FAIR.

largely attended meeting OF Dixie
Gun Club members was held last night
at the office OF the Wilson Biggs Co..
when the matter of a handicap shoot
during the Interstate Fair and other
matters of interest TO the members were
discussed. A committee was appointed
to arrange for the shoot at the fair
grounds.
The matter of indiscrininate shoot
ing at the traps was discussed, and the
following adopted covering the points
discussed:
Members wishing to shoot on other
than regular club meeting days shall
pay and be responsible to the treas
urer for targets, hire of trappers and
such other incidental expenses as may
be incurred.
THE cost Of targets shall be one cent
for each Target thrown. Members en-
tertaining npa-resident friends shall be
answeraale sor their conduct and ex-
penses incurred; members Of other gun
clubs and representatives of ammu-
milton manufacturers shall shoot as
guests of the club and without cost.
Resident non members are barred from
shooting"
The club discussed the matter Of
purchasing and installing another trap
similar to the one now owned. The
club has seventy-six members and it
has been found that one trap is hardly
sufficient, especially as forty and fifty
gather each Friday afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that within a short time the
second trap will be bought.

newspapers after the present worlds
series, but those with contracts with
newspapers signed prior to September
81 may go ahead with their writing
this year. This was the decision
reached by the national baseball COM
mission this afternoon.
So far as is known, all Of the player
writers made their contracts prior to
September 81, so none will be affected
by today's ruling.
Chairman Hermann explained that
the commission was not attempting to
regulate the newspapers but had ruled
against players writing at the request
of the Baseball Writers Association
At the request of the same association
the commission decided also to APP
point an additional scorer to be Sc
lected by the newspaper men. This
will make three scorers in all for the
worlds series and in case of dis
puted point the majority will rule.

pin asserted, "and many things STAMP
his confession as the truth"
cLINGs TO CONFESSION.
After being questioned for fourteen
hours during which he confessed ia
having committed more than twenty
murders, Spencer was allowed to go
to sleep early today After the long
! siege he put his hands to his head and
said:
| II am too tired to remember any
| more just now. I've got to have some
sleep. Maybe when I am rested, can
remember some more. The truth Of
the matter is that 1 killed so many
can't remember all of them"
From an unoff1cial source it was
learned that Spencer had amplihed his
story of the murder of one of his
wives. He said the woman's name
was. Nellie, but refused to give her
surname.
ct was in New York six years ago
and one day 1 visited the art gallery
which Helen Gould had installed in
the Maria Washington hotel" said
Spencer. There I met 1<ellie, Miss
Gould's maid. We were married three
days later. 1 had told her 1 was a
wealthy travelling salesman.
"One day we took a ride up the
Hudson river to West Point and from
there went by boat to Fort Montgom-
cry. In q secluded spot I struck her
twice with a hammer, killing her in
stantly. took $500 from Ter clothing
and returned to Chicago.
ROBBED CLOTHING STORE.
"A few days later I robbed a cloth
ing store of forty-f1ve suits which I
sold. Then for a while I stole BIZ
cycles, getting about $50 Of them. The
police finally made IL so hot for me
that I beat it out Of town.
Spencer this morning told his in
terrogators of two more victims, one,
of whom he said he had shot and
killed, the other. he said he struck
down with a hammer
One Of the victims was an uni
Identified man who accidentally
brushed against him at Indiana ave-
nue. and East 42nd street and whom
he followed, robbed and shot dead.
He dragged the body into an alley and
fled
This was last spring. Two months
ago, he was said TO have entered
Park row saloon where he formerly
was employed as a porter and killed
a bartender with a hammer. He did
not give the bartender's name, but
said he robbed the man of several
hundred dollars.

Most old people must give to the

youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak

at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
