troversy was furnished today by Dick
Rudolph, victorious pitcher of the open

0PTOMETRISTS DO NOT TREAT
DISEASE, COMPLAINANTS SAY
Examinations in Anatomy and
Physiology Hence Superfluous.


Pleas that optometrsts made no ef-
forts to treat diseases of the eye and
that all cases needing attention were
sent to eye specialists were entered this
morning before Judges Wilson and Auden
ried in Common Pleas Court during the
hearing of an application for an injunc-
tion TO restrain the State Board of Medi-
cal Education and Licensure from re-
qulrng optometrists to pass examinations
in anatomy and physiology.
The injunction is sought by Alexander
Martin. 18th and Chestnut streets, and
Otto G. Haussman, 7O5 Chestnut street,
for the Association of Optometrsts. Last
July the Bureau of Medical Education
issued an order which brings optometrists
under the jurisdiction of the board and
requires rigid examinations in physiology
Optometrists conhne their work to pre-
scribing glasses for near-sghted persons
and others whose impaired vision is not
the result of disease. according to Mr.
Martin. The practice was purely meChan-
ical and consisted merely OF making
measurements and tests, he declared.
Owen j. Roberts, attorney for the optom-
etrists. argued that optometry was
taught in the department of physics at
Columbia University. This, ne said
proved tnat the practice should not be
regarded as medical and brought under
the supervision of the State board The

CALL NAVY STUBBORN
Club Members Disappointed at Fail
ure to Arrange Army Game.

NEW YORK, Oct. l0-Stubbornness on
the part of those in control OF athletc
affairs at the Naval Academy is blamed
for the present acute situation in athletie
relations between the two service schools
of the United States, in the opinion OF
the members Of the Army and Navy club
A canvass of the sentiments OF the Of
fcers Of both branches of the service
disclosed the fact that there would De
keen disappointment among the grad
yates if there came any interruption TO
the annual football struggle between the
sevens of the cadets and the midshipmen.
Navy officers declare that the Annapolis
authorities should concede a point to the
rather fair proposition of the Army coun-
cil which proposes a ten-year agreement
with games alternating between cities
selected by the rival institutions no
further north than New York and no
further south than Washington. Hope is
felt that the pressure Of those prominent
IN the service may effect reconciliation

ATHLETICS LOSS PUTS
POLICEMAN BEHIND BARS
Guardians of Law and Order, Disap-
pointed, Seeks Solace in Saloon.


There Is no sadder man in this city
today than Policeman Patrick Kirby.
When the Athletics lost yesterday Kirby
also lost his spirits. But, fortunately, he
made up for the loss by getting in touch
with more spirits far away from his
district, which Is the 55th and Pine streets
station.
Kirby, II appears, was detailed to help
handle the crowds at the worlds series
game, He anticipated a decisive victory
for the home team, and when the Braves
brought run after run across the home
plate he couldn't tolerate such a condi-
tion.
But Just how the policeman lost his
bearings and got to 18th and Filbert
streets on his way to 55th and Pine from
9lst and Lehgh avenue is a matter OF
conjecture.
While In a saloon near Filbert street
early this morning. it seems that Kirby
attempted to tell others just how the
Athletics lost. He became so noisy in
his explanation that he was ordered out,
In the meanwhile Policeman McMullin,
Of the 11th and Winter streets station,
happened along, and, hearing the racket,
ran inside. Kirby objected to being ar
rested by another policeman. but could
not specify clearly just who he would
like to be arrested by. Even the APP
pcation Of the brother pollcemans club
did not seem to impress him. Finally
he was half carried to the Winter street
station house and placed in a cell,
Magistrate Tracy made every effort to
learn how Kirby got into the district,
but the prisoner did not know, nor did
he care. He was held i'm 500 bail for
further hearing.

SPECULAT0RS REAPING RICH
HARVEST FROM ARDENT FANS
Places in Line at Shibe Park Bring
High Prices.

Spectators at the baseball grounds to-
day reaped rich harvest due to the
Athletics defeat yesterday. Offers of
seats and places in line were snapped up
at almost any price because of the desire
of ardent Philadelphia rooters to see their
home team retrieve itself today. Good
positions in the line of bleacher fans out
side Shibe Park brought high prices be-
fore the box window opened.
William Hawkey. S65 Gilmore avenue,
Brooklyn. who came 10 Philadelphia to
seek fortune and obtained 18th position
from the ticket window, refused to sell
his place for less than $l5. He was Of
fered SIP and refused. They say the de-
sire to see the Athletics win today's
game is greater than the pleasure of
making money.

lied business. The scalper, who has had
the forethought to place a number of

to the place in which he had been stand

sition then was held by Frank Dowd, of

ARREST SCALPERS
OF "SMALL FRY" BUT
LET big GUNS" WORK
Baseball Ticket Spectators
Hawk Their Wares on
Streets Again, Though
Police Have Orders to
Stop Them.

The police campaign against "small
fry" scalpers of world series tickets was
continued today. Several of the less inn
portant spectators were arrested during
the night and arraigned this morning for
hearings before Magistrate Renshaw, at
Central station and the big guns were
unrnolested.
Today the really important scalpers
we're still busily at work ON Chestnut and
Broad streets. haunting large patches of
tickets in the faces of pedestrians. Re
serve, traffic and every other type OF
policemen paid no attention to them The
scalpng goes mcrrily on.
The little men" are becoming fright
ened and are usipE more care today In
disposing of theif wares. EXpenses of
employing counsel to get out of the
clutches of the police take away ali
their profits. and they are doing every
thing possible to avoid arrest.
Among those arraigned this morning
was n man who gave his name as Harry
Raglis and who literally arrested him
self Raglis went UP to Police Captain
Tempest last night at 18th and Chestnut
street and asked him If he mad any world
Eeries tickets to sell.
The Lieutenant, who was in citizens
clothing, explained that he had not. and
then Ragls offered to sell tickets. Before
Tempest could reply Raglis caught him
by the arm and started to walk him up
Chestnut street talking volubly and quot
Ing rates. AT Broad street the scalper
turned north AppreciatinE the joke,
Captain Tempest permitted himself to be
led into shadowy corridor in city Hall.
Then he took charge of the situation,
when Raglis tried to stop, and took the
man to the roll room on the sixth floor.
Rates dropped today on all classes OF
tickets. but not appreciably There were
fewer scalpers on the streets, due to the
fact that most purchasers took seats for
all three games. The demand, however,
Is still large, and the scalpers are not
losing money.
