Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-With ono
victory safely tucked away the Boston
Braves met the Philadelphia Americans
in the second game of the worlds Sc
ries today with added confidence and
grim determination to make it two
straight. The Athletics, although de-
feated in the initial struggle, were
equally determined to even the series
and they were not whit discouraged.
The ticket speeulating fraternity won
legal victory when habeas corpus
proceedings forced the release of those
arrested for vending admission tickets
yesterday. Few tickets for to-day's
game, however, were in the hands of
the spectators when the hour for the
staging of the contest arrived. Many
purchasers secured bargains in tickets
yesterday when at the last moment the
holders found that they would be un-
able to use the high priced pasteboards.
Every one who had a ticket to-day
seemed determined to use it to see the
game or had friends who would.
The builders of miniature grand
stands on housetops overlooking the
grounds also scored in legal tilt with
the police and building inspectors when
1t was discovered that they could not
be forced to tear down their stands.

Bockelhimer, contractor on ire White
Bird-Boles route, receives under his

And there are several hundred in
stances on par with these. Reports
made to Senator Brady show that
every star route contractor
in Idaho is being forced by the gov
ernment to lose money, and the de-
partment declines to relieve carriers
from this unjust burden. Senator
Brady maintains that under existing
law the government is required to
fairly compensate carriers, but full
restitution for losses thus for sus-

MAIL CARRIERS LOSE MONEY

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Sena-
tor Brady is collecting a convincing
array of facts to substantiate his con-
tention that the United States govern
ment is driving scores of star route
carriers in Idaho into bankruptcy be-
cause of the refusal of the post Of
flee department to increase their pay
in proportion to the increased SER
vice required since the parcel post
went into effect While Senator
Brady believes the parcels post is a
good thing, and should be encouraged
and is also convinced that the SER
vice can and should be self-support-
ing, he vigorously protests against
continuance of the injustice to car
riers. and insists that every carrier
should receive compensation which
fully reimburses him for the cost Of
service performed, and allows fair
margin of profit beyond. Among the
instances cited by Senator Brady is
the case of Albert w. Ostnor, carrier
on the route from Boise to Quartz
burg. It costs this contractor $4,000
a year to carry the mails, now that
he is handling parcel post packages,
but the government allows him only
$3,164. He and his bondsmen are
being forced by the government to-
lose the difference. Robert Morrison,
contractor on the Mountainhome-
Rocky Bar route, is performing SER
vice which actually costs him $4,000.
