SUN COMES OUT
 AND DRIES FIELD FOR FIRST CONTEST

Pf1iladeIphia. Oct. s-After an all night rain which soaked National League Park to-sucI1 degree that it twas thought impossible to play the first game today between the PhiIadel- phia Nationals and the Boston Amer jeans for the worlds series baseball

 brightly to the delight of the thou sands of fans who had tickets for the opening contest At 1O:45 announce s1ent came from the National Com
 mission that a game will surely be played starting at 2 p. m.
 The Phillies' leader, while / express ing confidence in coming out victorious l in the series, declined to make any predictions. l T hope we will win.'' said Moran. 4.The boys put their heart and soul
 into bringing the pennant to PhiladeI- phia and they will strive just as hard to win the worlds title. know that nearly all the experts pick the Red Sox to win, but this does not injure us in the least.
 Alexander has been our Tnainstay in the box and he has performed won derfuIly this year. Some people are inclined to the opinion that if the Red Sox should beat Alexander we would throw up the sponge. We wouldn't. We have Demaree. Mayer, Chalmers.

SINGERS VS. REM-ARMS
 BEGIN SERIES TOMORROW

The baseball season of 1915 will be closed Saturday and Sunday when the Singers and Rem-Arms teams meet purse of $4e0 and a silver cup given by sCooney' WiRton. There is a very strong rivalry between the play .ers of both teams and excitement is sure to run high. The Arms team was scheduled to play Yost Sunday, but Mgr. Andres Of the Singer team insisted on withdrawing his money if the Arms team would not play on Sunday which was finally agreed to.
 The Saturday game will not start until 3:40 so as to give the employees of the shop an Opportunity to go af- ter they get through at 3:30, but the Sunday game will start at D. m. sharp,
 In sizing up both clubs seem evenly matched but the Arms boys seem confident that they have something on the Singers and point out the fact that they have three victories over Yost while the Yost seemed to have no trouble in taking three from the Singer players. Fged Higgins and Jack DoWney haze been selected to act as umpires which assures the fans Of good clean play.
 The following is lineup of both teams:

Bill Carrigan Given Credit For Handling of
 Great Red Sox Staff

z While we are la1ding the Boston pitchers a bit Of explanation is de- rnanded. and with 1t must go a whale of a boost for Bill Carrigan, writes Harold Wilcox in the Detroit Times. Some critics have said that the Red Sox are great in spite of Carrigan. Maybe so, but the fact remains that Crabby Bill has shown some extra ordinary Judgment in the selection of pitchers.
 Wood and Gregg are not right this year Gregg was given up as hope less early in the season. but ha has been nursed back into pretty fair form recently, Wood is mot likely to pitch much more this year. Both have bad arms, exhausted by the strain of too much and some uRwise huring in other years.
 But Wood has won IS and lost four games and leads the league. Gregg has won five and lost two. That means that Carrigan was a wise old gazaboo when he decided just when these two hur1ers were right and just when they were mot. Had he guess ed wrong on Wood he would now be out of the running. Had he guessed swroug on Gregg, the Tigers would now be leading, instead of trailing.
 But this boost for CarTigan does not sdetract from the glory of that mag nifieent pftehing staff.

BOSTON PARK WILL HANDLE
 BIGGEST CROWD IN HISTORY
Record Made in Fenway Park in 1914 Will Be
 Shattered This Year.

this fact also, Red Sox supporters be- lieve.
 National league park, the home of the Phil1ies for many years, is one of the smallest grounds in either the National or American leagues. Its grand stand, which is of the double deck cantilever type, was the first modern structure of the kind in the United States. Built of brick and steel it was the finest baseball prop erty in the country when constructed but is out-of-date compared with the greater structures put up in the last few years. With additional seats temporarily built for the coming se- ries. the seating capacity of the grounds will not be more than 20,- 900.
 Probably more than two games of the series may be played in Phi1a- delphia and the park with it's short fences will certainly suit the National league hitters. Three of these, Cravath, Luderus and Becker, the pinch hitter, are liable to hit one out of the enclosure for a homer, off any of the visiting Red Sox pitchers. When great boxnen are on the mound runs geneEaI1y are few and far between and a home run might win a game particularly if Alexander should be pitching for the side ac-. credited with the circuit clout-

DOUBT WHETHER DE PALMA WILL BE IN BIG AUTO RACE

New York, Oct s-The rain hoo doc is still lurking around the Sheeps- head Bay Speedway Yesterday the supplementary elimination trials were to have been held, but the rain made the track too slippery, and the trials were postponed until this afternoon at o'clock. Bob Burman was out on the track in his Peugot for few minutes and he reported to Starter Fred Wagner that the track was too wet and dangerous for the trials.
 There is still doubt about Ralph De Palma starting in the Astor Cup race tomorrow, but Speedway officials assert that he will be one of the driv- CTS. De Palma has been seen at the track only once since the Speedway was opened for practice. Report has it that his Mercedes car is not con- ditioned for racing, and it is proba- b1e the Mercedes will not be one of the starters. De Palma was to have driven a Stutz in the races at Tren- ton, Wednesday, and he may drive Stutz tomorrow.

 Bobby Stow will be disappointed to learn that he will not get the job of coaching the Yale basketball team this season. Stow brought a, cham pionship to Yale last season and nat urally expected reappointment. But the present athletic policy at Yale Is when man makes good he should be kept.
 Billy Bul1 the Yale kicking coach, saw Harvard play last Saturday and reported that there are no Brickleys or Hardwicks on the Crimson squad this season.
 There is much uncertainty among New York sportsnlen regarding bets made on the Giants and Yankees. Those who bet that the Giants would finish higher than the Tanks would ap- pear to be on the losing end inasmuch as the NIcGraw clan trailed in last while the Yankees finished fifth. But Giant rooters say their team had the same final percentage the Yankees. It is strange fact that each team 1 finished with percentage of .454.

MAN WHO FOUND ALEXANDER GIVEN
 COVETED TICKETS

PhiladeIphia, Oct s-The drizzfing rain yesterday kept Pat Moran and snis Phillies indoors most of the day knd prevented the National League champions from getting a real work 5ut for the Worlds Series, which be- gins here today, weather permitting. Moran gave his players their final tn- structions for the game yesterday. From the expressions that the players wore as they came out of the club house, it was evident that they are not worrying over the outcome of the series.
 One glance at Alexander is enough to convince one that the great pitcher is ready for the Red Sox, and fit to pitch tile game of his life. He re- ported to Moran early yesterday at the club house looking the picture of health, and, as usual wearing his good natured smile.
 Upon arriving at the grounds, Alex ander was anxious to learn if Joe Q'Rourke had received his tickets for todayss game O'Rourke manages the Albany Club of the New York State pitch against his club one day. wired to Manager Charles Dooin that the Syracuse Cluh had a pitcher on its sta@n who was wonder Dooin inn mediateIy wired to the officials of the club, and asked them how much they wanted for Alexander. Alexander was sold to- the PhilIies for small sum, and O'Rourke received $1e0.
 O'Rourke came here prepared to buy tickets and see Alexander beat the Red Sox, but was informed there Were no tickets to be had He all most wepts but yesterday his heart giaddened for Stanley v. Mastbaum of this city told O'Rourke he could have two of his tickets. Alexander was pleased when he heard this

New York, Oct. l8.-Twe1ve months ago when the Boston Nationals de- feated the Philadelphia Athletics for the worlds title of baseball cham p1ons, all the games were played on American league grounds and this year the contending teams will meet in National league parks. An ex- change of courtesies between Presi- dents Gaffney and Lannin of the rival Boston clubs made possible an addi- tlonal seating capacity of the games last year. In return for the kind
 ness of President Lannin last season, President Gafney has placed Braves
 Field at the disposal of the Ameri-
 can league pennant winners for the coming series thereby affording ac- mmodations for several thousand additional spectators
 The new home of the Boston Na4 t1ona1s, where at least half of this years battle will De staged, will seat possibly few hundred in excess of
 40, 900 persons. At first an erroneous impression prevailed that Braves field after the erection of temporary stands would accommodate over 52,00o spectators. In fact a serni-ofciaI statement was made Ito that effect.
 Since President Lannin accepted the offer of President Gaffney, Red Sox officials have been busily engaged check1ng up the seating capacity of the National league grounds and they found the first reports to be con- siderably in excess of the actual fig ures reached after thorough in spection of the grand and other stands and bleachers. It has also -transpired that a municipal ordi- nance exists which prohibits the erection of tmporary structures and as the time. is too short in which to build permanent stands on the grounds a liberal estimate of the parks capacity places it about 42,Oo0. This, however, will be far in excess of the possibilities of Fenway park, where S55520 persons, the largest at- tendance ever registered at a. baseball game in Boston witnessed one of the games between the Braves and Ath- letics last October.
 The playing field extends 385, 300 and 580 feet respectively from the home plate to left, center and right fields. Ranging over the broad reaches of Braves field. the fences in which are from 385 to 520 feet be- yond the home plate. the fleet Bos- ton fe1ders will have ample room for their great speed.
 Another asset to the Red sox in their home games will be these great distances to the fences on Braves field which, unlike the shorter boundaries of the Philadelphia park, offer no easy mark to home run drives on flights within the reach of a fast fielder. Much of Phf1adelphia's of- fensive strength will be robbed by.

1Se5-Tom Cribb defeated Bill Richmond in 142 hours at Hailskana Eng. Richmond was the first negro to become prominent in the ring, and he was never decisipely defeated. He was a veteran when he fought .Cribb, the future champion, then just be- ginning his career as a. bruised. Soon after that Richmond retired and opened a tavern. When Molineaux. the Virginia, <negro. invaded England 6o challenge Cribb for the champion ship Richmond became his naanag gsr and trainer. and in MoIineaIxs first battle with Gribb he was the victor. Although robbed of the worlds cham pionshIp houors which all British ring authorities now admit rightfulIy belonged to him. In his meeting with Eribb, the veteran Richmond found himself outcIassed. but he "hopped and danced about the ring. in the style of an Ethiopian dancer" and completely baG4ed the white man, all though Cr1bb was awarded the vic tory after 9e minutes of shch tactics.

DONAHUE STARS FOR
 TIGERS AT QUARTERBACK

Princeton. N. J., Oct. s-A drizzling rain shortened the Princeton football practice yesterday afternoon. the ac- tua1 time of the workout being cut down to a. little more than one hour. Rush was afraid to have the men take any chance of injuries the slippery field and was content with a short sig nal drill and a brief scrimmage. The second team opposed the Varsity at first, but later the scrubs came on the, field with the Syracuse plays, which the Varsity broke up with compara- tive ease.
 In the absence of Click and Annes; Arrottl and Donahue ran the opposing teams. Donahue is as good a, quarter back as there is on the field, driving the team with tremendous energy, but is handicapped by extreme Hghtness.
 Later Dave T1bbott was put in at quarter. on the Varsity and ran the team. throughout the rest of the prac- tice. Tn the event of Click and ATaes being unable to play against Syracuse, Tibbott will probably be seen at the pivot position.

until two years of age, and in his
prime at three years, and nearly as
good at four years old. It is, there
fore, mistake to sell off all the older
birds and retain the young ones for
breeding purposes.
Young turkeys are of a delicate
nature until they are fully feathered
and have thrown out a red on their
heads, which usually occurs at about
three months of age. After that they
are hardy and may be allowed I'M
limited range at all times.
To fatten turkeys for market they
should be confined in pens of about
ten feet square and from six to eight
birds to the pen. The quarters must
be warm and dry, aud the birds must
be. protected from the rains and storm.
A good fattening food is mash OF
two parts bran and shorts, one-fOurth
ground wheat, mixed with a little
water Whole corn and wheat is also
an excellent fattener, and they may be
given ds much OF this as they will eat.
a little beef fat, finely chopped, given
once or twice a week, is relished and
has a good effect. Skim milk should
be kept before the birds always.
Turkey raising can be made a very
profitable business, particularly in the
West where all kinds of grain grow at
small cost
II win pay well If only the regular
markets are used, but if a private
trade is worked up, which is easily
done in any part Of the country to-
day, the profits can easily be increased
irom 2j 10 so per cent.
