When the National Commission met
here last week and announced the UNI
pres for the worlds series the general
impression was that the two selected from
the National League had made the best
records for 1914 but there was a ques-
tlon In the minds of some as TO whether
the two chosen from the American
League had led the van in giving salts
faction. This is not intended 10 imply
that Dneen and Hldebrand are not capa-
ble performers, for they are But II a
vote were taken among those who have
followed the game closely there might be
others selected II the highest efficiency
were the basis.
These selections merely 90 10 show that
the methods OF choosing the umpires for
the series vary in the major leagues. It
has always been the policy OF the Ma
uonal League maguates 10 choose the
tive men who, i'm their estimation have
done the best work that season. Hence

Will probably be seen in every game
against the Athletics. Schang has been
used by Mack In lOS games, Lapp taking
care OF most of the others McAvoy

has been batting the ball around 20
all season, while Gowiy has hit only al
.2D rate. Lapp, once a 300 hitter, has
not been above ,225 this year, but II the
figures are to be considered. he is NJ
worse off than Whaling, who is about
10 points lower.
There is really little chance OF the
Braves doing much on the bases against
the Athletics. II Schang should have an

September, when he was irving to dis

CONTESTS WILL
FILL PARKS TO
FULL CAPACITY
Much More Entl usiasm
Over Worlds Ser.es This
Year Than Last-Facts
About Former Meetings.

If It were possible to ascertain Just
how many people would buy worlds series
tickets If they could. there isn't doubt
that the games to be played between the
Athletics and Braves would make a new
record. There has been a steady general
increase in the interest taken in worlds
series games ever since the first one
played in 1903, when Boston took FIVE
games out OF eight from Pittsburgh
The Increase in interest. which Is
shown concretcly by the increase in at
tendance, has always been greater in
years when given series was played by
clubs not taking part the previous year.
Conversely, there has been n slight fall
ing Off in attendance at worlds series
games which have been played by the
same clubs, For instance in 1906. 1907 and
1908, the Cubs won the flag in the Ma
tional League. The result was that there
was slight annual decrease in the aver
age attendance as well as in the total
gate receipts.
In 1909 Pittsburgh and Detroit played
for the championship. Obviously the fans
were glad to greet n new winner in the
National League. for the attendance took
a big jump. The average number who
saw the Cubs and Tigers perform In 1905
was 12,i46 and the total receipts for the
series amounted to S9L97550 The next
year, when the Pirates defeated the
Tigers, the average number at the games
was 2OT56 and the total gate receipts
were SlSs, ,So25O.
DON'T WANT MONOPOLY.
THESE fgures prove conclusively that
the public does not like n monopoly OF
winners. Furthermore, the steady actual
increase from 1905 through 1912 adds still |
more to this conclusion. Last season |
when the Athletics met the Giants the |
average attendance was 30 1893 while the |
year before the average per game in the |
New York-Red SoN series was 81, ,ISS This |
apparent dropping in the figures does not |
indicate in the least that there was less /
interest on the contrary. it is easily |
seen that the reverse was the case. Last |
year each of the five games played drew
capacity crowds both in New York and |
Philadelphia, while In 1912 the final |
Giants-Red SoX bout drew only $3.50
whereas the lowest previous attendance
In that same series had been 3O1is.
UnQuestiOnably 1t was a good thing for
everybody concerned except those in
New York, that the Giants were beaten
by the Braves, and It would have been
a help to the game in general If the Ath-
letcs had been defeated for the har I
continued cornering Of the pennant
market is not what the people want. This
season in Philadelphia has shown that
The attendance at Shibe Park has been
only a little greater than that at the
Phillies' park and the latter are in sixth
place in the National League while the
former are siX-time pennant winners and
considered generally TO he the greatest
baseball club ever gotten together
Herewith is a table showing the aver
age attendance at the worlds series
games from 1903 to 1913, along with the
total gate receipts:

A Long Felt Need

The first issue Of the Delaware
Farmer. published by the Agrl-
cultural Club of Delaware College,
Newark, Delaware, came out Dec
ember Goth. 1t is artistic from a a
printer standpoint and full OF
solid information Of interest to our
farmers. 1t will be published
monthly during the school year.
and the subscription price Is only
fifty cents a year. 1t fills a long
felt want. Delaware, which is es-
sentially an agricultural State
with soil and climatic conditions
which differentiates 1t TO some ex-
tent from other agricultural COM
munities, needs a paper devoted to
these interests. The Delaware Col
|lege Experiment Station is the au-
lucrative head of these interests.
It is devoting it's time to expert
ments and other activities which
have for their purpose the advance
ment of the farming interests OF
this State, hence a publication de-
voted to those peculiar interests IS
sued under the supervision OF the
Agricultural Department OF Della
ware College establishes an author
tive and valuable medium OF
communication between that de-
partment and our farmers.
Through it our farmers may learn
not only what the Experiment Sta
ton is doing in their interest, but
receive the best information upon
problems which particularly con-
Germ them. It will enable our farm
ers to learn what the Agricultural
Department and Experiment Sta
ton are doing and will develop an
appreciation of the College as a
State institution to it's enhacement
and development.

NO DEVELOPMENTS
 IN BLOUNT CHASE

There have been no developments during the past 24 hours in the chase for Lee Blount, who killed Oscar l.. Honea near Mayfower last Thursday. Sheriff J. s. Johnson is continuing to mail out circulars giving the descrip- tion and announcing the reward for Blounts capture to officers through out Arkansas and adjoining states. Several well known detectives are known to have taken up the pursuit of Blount, put so far as is known, no trace of him has been discovered since he is supposed to have crossed the river and ridden on a freight train to Bonneville Thursday night and Fri day morning.

curacy, an unusually good interpreta- ton being given to the Moszkowski etude. Miss Faye Livingston. who IS new as assistant teacher, but whose musical talent is well known, added much to the program with her flute as well as her piano solo numbers.
 The new piano teachers, Misses Juanita Thomas and Ruth Bishop, are indeed artists. Their numbers last night were we'll interpreted and, be- ing very difficult, demanded the ex- cellent technique with which they were played.
 Miss Salome Garnett has voice of much sweetness, which was displayed in several different styles of song on the program, all of which showed her ability as an artist. The vocal duets by Misses Garriett and Thomas were exquisite and especially attractive with the flute and cello parts, which were arranged by Prof. Utermoehlen
 The program closed with the Mid summer Nights Dream overture for two pianos, which was brilliantly rendered by Miss Conger and Prof. Utermoehlen.
