Braves Move Close to Scene of Bat.
tie Scheduled For Friday;
:. ~ Tickets on Sale
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, Oct. THE Boston
Braves, champions of the National
League. are in this city preparing for
the opening of the worlds series here
on Friday, when they meet the Phila-
delphia Athletics, winners of the
American League race. The Bos-
tonians, who ended their National
League schedule in Brooklyn yester-
day, planned a light practice this
morning on the National League
grounds, while the present world S
champions expect to work out at Shibe
Park, where the first two games of the
series will be staged.
The National League players will
get an eye on their opponents when
they view the contest between the
Athletics and New York in the fare
well game of the American League
schedule here to-day.
Neither of the opposing managers
had indicated who will be his pitching
selection for the opening game, but
the majority of the critics believe that
Bender the veteran Indian twirler
will be Connie Mack's selection, and
that he will opposed by James, who
they figure, is the best find of the Bos-
ton moundsmen to repeat during the
short series if necessary.
The long line of men that has
waited for the opening of the sale OF
tickets at . O'Clock to-day presented a
sorry spectacle at daybreak. Many OF
them had been in line for forty-eight
hours, snatching only what sleep they
could by resting on soap boxes, Camp
stools and chairs.

Harley-Davidson Model
Has Eleven Horsepower

During the thirteen years that we
have been engaged in the manufac
ture of motorcycles we never have in
troduced a more important improve
ment than the three-speed,' said Wal
ter Davidson, president of the Harley
Davidson Motor Company, Milwaukee.
Wis. II consider this the greatest
achievement of William S. Harley, our
chief engineer.
THE 1915 twin cylinder motor
rated at II horsepower, develops
nearly double the horsepower of our
1914 motors With the three-speed
Harley Davidson it is possible to go
anywhere that traction can be OBJ
tanned. on high speed the gear ratio
is 3.S9 to l. For good, smooth roads
this gear is ideal.
The intermediate gear provides a
ratio of 5.S3 to ! for travelling in con-
gested traffic in the cities and over
rough country roads. This gear can
be used constantly, if required. Every
mctorcyclist can appreciate the suit
ability of this gear, especially when
the motorcycle is used with a Sidecar.
ION low gear, SIS to ]. the 1915
three-speed will go anywhere. The
1915 machine climbs hills as steep as
60 per cent. There are &C improve
ments on the three-speed model alone.
Great credit must he given to MIR. Har-
ley for his invention of the first me-
Chanical oil pump capable of feeding
oil at all speeds without any check
or ball valves.
"All 1915 models are equipped with
the well-known step-starter, which
makes it possible to start the motor
with both wheels on the ground and
with either pedal. This device is posi-
tive in action. 1t starts the motor
without fail.
Announcement of this new model
appears in this issue and Heagy
Brothers hope to have the demon
strator here this week.

In an interview this afternoon
Auditor General Powell stated that

that they had been held up in the ac-
counting bureau.
He said, however, that this was
only one of many commissions whose
accounts were being scrutinized care
fully and that contingent funds were
also being looked over. He said the
State created too many commissions
whose duties could be better handled
by the regular State officers and en-
