the practice consisted of punting and

Locals TO Witness
THE worlds Series
Many Inquiries Are Being
Received for Tickets to
Coming Contests
HOPING BOSTON
WILL WIN OUT

Wilmington is preparing to. send a
record number of baseball fans TO the
worlds series games in Philadelphia
next month. Inquiries about reserva-
tions OF seats at Shibe Park for the
days on which the Athletics will oppose
either New York or Boston for the
championship OF the globe are being
made daily by those who plan to wit
ness one or more of the contests As
yet no announcement relative 10 prices
or reservations have been made by the
national commission, under whose juris
diction the series will be played.
Last year great many Wilmington
ians went to Philadelphia to see the
Athletics and Giants battle for the
championship. This fall great many
more will make the trip. There is a dis
position ON the part of local fans 10
root for Boston in the present National
League fight, but if the Braves or Gil
ants win, no matter which, the Viii
mingtonians will be staunch supporters
of Connie Alack's title. The Giants
have been unpopular in Wilmington,
but that is not the chief reason for thA
sentiment in favor of Boston.
Ii Boston wins in the Tener organiza-
tiOn. it means that the first two games
of the worlds series will be played in
the Hub and the next pair in Philadel-
phia. This will give those fans who
plan TO see the Quaker City contests an
opportunity to witness two games in as
many days. whereas, If New York wins,
/ the games will alternate between the
metropolis and Philadelphia, and Will
mingtonians must remain in the latter
place three days in order to see two
contests Then, too, the third and
/ fourth games of the series are likely to
be the most important of the struggle,
which is another cause for the hope
that they may be played in the City OF
Brotherly Love.
Connie Macks aggregation Of stars
are having a pretty easy thing OF it in
the winning of the American League
gonfalon, but it's a safe bet they will
have to do some tail stepping this year
TO capture the worlds series coin. No
matter which team wins in the Ma.

hole O'Toole had left him with only
one run being scored and after Schnei-

the Giants kept pegging away until
they shot over their winning run.
Bill James and Doak, of the Cards,
hooked up in one of the prettiest pitch
ing battles of the season in the Boston
game. The Braves got TO Doak for
only three hits. James was knicked
for sever, three of them coming in the
eighth, when st. Louis tied the score.
From then on neither was in danger,
and darkness halted the game IN the
twelfth.
The Red Sox are still driving in that
belated sprint and gained another game
on the Athletics by taking a ten-inning
set-to from the Maps. A triple by Scott,
and Speakers single broke up the game.
IN the meantime, the Tigers downed
the Mackmen and used Just four hits. A
pass. an error and two hits gave them
three runs in the first inning, and that
proved to be enough.
