Cobb and Mathewson ON Hand

And the players of to-day not en-
gagged in the world S series games were
all there. Held up in a corner talking
to couple of the most widely known
baseball writers of the day was Christy
MatheWson, Of the New York. Chat
ting with Detroit friends was Ty Cobb
"a very gentlemanly Ty and not the
belligerent he has been depicted. Big
Meyers, the New York Indian catcher;
Marty O'Toole, the $4,000 pitcher,
who failed to make good in Pittsburgh
and was sent to New York; Sam Craw-
ford, the Detroit slugger; Kiefer, the
Philadelphia catcher; all were there
and too many to be mentioned, and
not the least was ''Hughey' jennings,
the Scranton lawyer. who manages the
Detroits when not in court.

APPLY AT ONCE FOR AUTO LICENSES

There will have been close to 10000 automobile
licenses issued from the Automobile Division of the
State Highway Department by the end of this year.
most of which We're sent out during the first two
months.
Naturally, owing to the rapid growth of the use
OF motor cars, the rush to get licenses by automo
bile owners was beyond precedent. In fact it was
great that the department could not, even by
doubling the clerical force and working day and
night for weeks, meet the demand so that all appli-
cants could have their licenses to show on January
of the new year. 70 meet the emergency the
time for displaying the tags was ex-
tended one month, but even with this extension the
delivery could not be completed before the latter
part of February
Many who thought they should have received
their licenses and tags in day or after they
sent in their applications were indignant over the
delay, not considering that it was physical impos
sbility for the division, even with its increased
force and doubled working hours, to issue the
essary permits in time. However, there was very
little Inconvenience caused and the officers of the
law, acting under instructions, were enient and
made no arrests.
In order to meet the great rush that is foreseen
at the beginning of next year. the State Highway
DEPARTMENT has issued a statement requesting that
applications for licenses and tags shall be sent in
now. If great many heed this request it will be
simple matter to begin preparing the licenses and
tags at once, and long before january the bulk
of the work will have been DONE and there will be
no occasion for rush during December and Janu-
arv
The owner of an automobile at present is pretty
certain to know whether he is going to
next year. and if he is wise he will put in his apph-
cation for license IF he does so he will get
his license promptly and escape the unavoidable in
convenience he may have experienced this year.

Close View of Baseball Stars

The easiest way to see the great
baseball players of the United States,
past and present, is to attend the
world s series games for the champion
ship--not all of them; one will suf-
tice. And you cannot only see the big
players, but also the magnates, the
men who have the last word in the con
troll of the national game in this coun-
try. 1t is at the hotel where the Ma
tional League establishes it's headquar
ters in the city where the game is to
be played that the big 'uns are to be
found. Take last Saturday, for in-
stance, in Philadelphia, where the Bos-
ton Nationals and the Philadelphia
Americans were to contend second
time for championship honors. The
headquarters had been established at
the Bellevue -Stratford hotel, and there
is where the big boys could be found.

could be bad for $S, and a So box

show and many OF them are expect
ing to Como. while sorne hope 20 have

number OF exhibits is a matter of
mere guess work, as this is never
known until the time to enter the
ring expires, as sometimes the ex-

certain that there will be large num-
ber OF high class animals on hand
to be entered for the numerous
handsome prizes.
In the prize lists are several prizes

solid silver cups will be given as
sweepstake prizes. Next to these the
