Johnson named Thomas III. Connolly
and John j. Egan, to represent the
American league.

the same as heretofore, except that In
case Of a legal tie game the teams viii
not remain in the city where the tie
occurred to play it Off. but will adj
here to the schedule of alternating
each day between the two cities. In
case of postponement the teams will
remain in the city where the game
was postponed until it is played.
The National commission will not
have charge of the distribution OF
tickets. it having left to the respective
clubs the method they shall pursue in
selling them.
President Hampstead, Secretary
Foster and other officials Of the New
York club were elated over their luc.
in getting the opening game.
Benjamin F. Snibe, president of the
Athletics, much as he wanted the first
game played in Philadelphia, did nd
appear dismayed. Il suppose history
is going to repeat ITSELF" he said.
I've lost the toss two years age we
also lost the opening game, but We
walked of with the championship"
