under the control of the National Commission up to 1,650,000 in round figures. Since the first contest under this regime in 1903 eleven series have been played with total of sixty-four games and an attendance of 1895, ,567. To these figures must be added the attendance at the earlier matches of which few accurate records exist.
 From 1884 to 1902 there were twelve series played with a total of eighty games and it has been esti mated by old time fans and players that the average attendance at these contests could not have fallen far short of 5000 per game. Such be- ing the case another total of 240,000 must be credited to the Worlds Series figures bringing the grand total up to close to 1,650,000. Allow 100000 for the coming play and it will be seen that before the Worlds Championship of 1915 has been won the attendance figures for the entire play for this premier title of the baseball world will have passed the million and three quarter mark.
 The official attendance figures for the eleven series under the National Commission control are appended:

Attendance Comparisons.

New attendance and gate receipt records are not unlikely in the com ing Worlds Series between the Phil adelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans. Much will depend, of course, upon the length of the series and the amount of interest displayed by the fans of the two pennant win ming cities. If the struggle for the championship is close and continues for six or seven games there is no question that new figures will be es- tablished in these departments thus adding greatly to the satisfaction of players and magnates.
 The selection of the new park of the Boston National League club as the scene of the games to be played in Boston opens the way for greatly. increased attendance for the Braves stadium will accommodate fully 50,- 900 spectators. It is the latest and the largest enclosure devoted to base ball and in offering it to the Red Sox, President Gaffney is but recipro- eating the courtesy extended to his club by the President Lannin last ueeason when the Braves played and won the Worlds Championship in the Boston American League park.
 If the Philadelphia Nationals were the possessors of a field with any thing like the seating capacity of the Red Sox' temporary home the attendance figures would in all prob liability soar above 300,000. Since the kaillies' park will hold but 10000 Ar extra stands have been erected

THE GRANOLDOPE
 ON COMING SERIES
Will PhilieS in First Chance at 
 Worlds Title Succeed?

New York, Oct. 2.-For the first time in the history of the worlds series the National league will be rep resented by a Philadelphia club ill the struggle for the premier honors Of the professional diamond. Not since the organization of the senior major league back in 1876 has Quaker City team in this association won pennant until the present season.
 During the forty years of the Ma tional league existence Philadelphia has fought for the flag no less than thirty -four times and it remained for Manager Pat Moran to lead the Ph1l- lies of 1915 out of the wilderness Of baseball dispair and into the light or a Worlds Series. The home or Will liam Penn was represented by @ clup iil the opening year of the organlSa- ton but the following season dropped out and did not re-appear as pen nant contender until 1883.
 From that time until the present Philadelphia has annually figured in the league race but with rather in different success. The position of runner-up to the winner was achieved in 1887, 1901 and 1913 while the depth was reached of twelve clubs. The average of the Philadelphia teams for the thirty -four years in 19-34 which would rank them as leaders of the second division.
 Other cities have tried from time to time to capture a senior league flag without success for twenty-two have had their names borne by teams since the formation of the league in 1876. None has been more persistent than Philadelphia, however, and the fans of Quakerburg are entitled to wide latitude for celebrating. Of the twenty-two National pennant hunt Ing cities but eight have ever ac- complished the feat of capturing flag. Chicago leads with ten; Bos- ton is second with nine; New York third with seven; Pittsburg fourth with four while Baltimore and Brook lyn are tied with three each; Provi- dence is credited with two and De- troit one Other cities that have tried and failed include: Cincinnati. St. Louis, Buffalo, Cleveland, Hart ford, Indianapolis Kansas City, Louis vile, Milwaukee, Syracuse, Troy, Washington and Worcester.
 Remnants and Worlds Series are not new to Philadelphia, however, for Connie Mack has won six American League flags and three Worlds Cham pionships with his Athletics but 1t was not until Moran took charge of the National league club that the senior association pennant chasers forged to the front and broke 8 rec ord of thirty-four years standing by bringing to the Quaker City Ma tional League banner to hang along side of the numerous buntings that Mack and his Athletics have garnered from the American League and the Worlds Series. The complete rec ord of the Philadelphia National League clubs showing the finishing rnnSitinrn since 1276 is as follows:

FRENCH CAPTURE
 SOUCHEz WOODS
Germans Driven Out After Fierce
 Encounter

Paris, October 2.-Seven mines, each containing sixteen. hum dred pounds of powder, were ex- ploded with terrific roar as soon as the signal was given for the French advance at Souchez, according to the story of an eye witness of the battle.
 Simultaneously" he said, "our men leaped out of their trenches and made for the German trenches before a forest. The Germans bolted through the woods persued by our first wave : Sections of the second wave explored the ruined trenches and underground shelters, which often were twenty feet deep. As they had had no desire tc go down into these holes, whence it seemed unlikely they would come out alive, our men dropped bombs and fired shot guns through the open ings, which effectually prevented the occupants from coming out and talk ing Us in the rear.
 German Maneuver Rolled.
 "The bulk of our men followed the Germans, who were running like hares, through the woods. They soon captured the second line of trenches in the middle of the forest and went 
 brook or going up the sunken road leading to Angres. The Germans brought up reserves and tried to sur round us. This maneuver was foiled, however, by our officers, who drew our men back to the first line cap tured.
 During the night the Germans fortified themselves in the woods but rfn hat work by a furious bombardment. The evening before the forest presented the ordinary aspect, but in a few minutes all was changed like magic. One after another the trees were moved down by shells, and soon the woods were transformed into a field of stumps emerging from jungle of branches.
 German Artillery Active.
 "The German artillery was not idle either, but sent at us a steady stream of shells. which plowed up the earth all around us, without doing much harm. Explosive shells were varied occasionally by shrapnel. This fire was borne philosophically, for since they have had their new steel helmets our men don't fear wounds in the head. A fragment of shell tore through one mans helmet, but It's force was so spent that he escaped with a grazed scalp.
 At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the guns ceased firing and we were or 6ered to attack again. Machine guns which the Germans had placed on their Hanks were soon put out of action It is difficult going in the woods The men stumbled over branches but on the other hand, holes torn in the ground by shells gave shel- ter against machine gun fire. These guns were cunningly concealed in pits covered with steel plates. The bar rels, protruding through narrow slits. were invisible from a distance, and they sent at us a whitening fire. But cur men didn't hesitate. From behind tree stumps and from the pits they kept hurling a constant stream of bombs, and soon drove the Germans out of the woods, which remained in our hands"

TAKE POWER PLANT
 AT MEXICO CITY
Carranza Forces Kill 100 Zapata SoI- diers Who Were Defending It.
 Villa Officers To Surrender.


 Washington, Oct. 2.-Capture of the electric power plant on the outskirts of Mexico City by Carranza troops. who killed 100 of the Zapata soldiers holding the plant, was announced in delayed dispatches received yesterday at the state department. The capture followed a sharp fight Thursday, and 1t was said that the plant was dam aged so slightly that it would be pos sible to resume service in a few hours. Raiding bands of zapata troops have intermittently occupied the lower country for some time and the last few days had been in complete con- trol. Lack of fuel in the city inter rupted the service of the plant long ago, and emergency stations have been relied upon by the city for its light and power.
 Three former Villa officers, accord ing to an announcement from the Car ranza agency here tonight, are on the way to Vera Cruz commissioned to ar range for the surrender of many of the chiefs of Villas army. Tt is stated" says the announcement, that they are travelling incognito because Villa is ignorant of their intention"

WIRELESS MESSAGE
 MAY ENCIRCLE GLOBE
Columbia Professor Has New Device to Transmit Human Voice An
 Unlimited Distance.

New York, Oct. 2.-The invention of a device which will prevent static interference with long distance wire less communications was announced yesterday by Professor Michael l. Pu- pin of Columbia University, scientist and perfecter of electrical appliances. Professor Pupin said his invention eliminates entirely the difficulties constantly interfering with wireless messages over a long distance. The application of his device, Professor Pupin said, will make it possible to transmit the human voice an unlimit- ed distance without the slightest inter- ference from unfavorable electrical conditions.
 There is nothing now" the pro- fesor said. ito prevent the transmits sion of messages by wireless telephone to every part of the globe. We may talk to the Antipodes-or for that matter send a message completely around the globe, If we like"
 The new discovery, which is the re- suit of eleven years experimental work at Columbia, Is an improvement upon the present aerial antennae Professor Pupin said. It renders the antennae sensitive only to the elec- trical waves which the operator de- sires to receive. It had been used only at the Columbia wireless station. which has been able to pick up mes sages not heard by the station for which they were intended.
 We have picked up messages from as far off as Honolulu" declared Pro- lessor Pupin, "and we have over heard countless other messages from ships at sea and from land stations. It is safe to say that many of the mes sages which we were able to receive never reached their destinations be- cause of static disturbances which were too strong for the average in- strument."
