No official action has been taken
as yet regarding seats in Philadelphia
for the Boston royal rooters,' but it
is understood that they will be given
the 400 seats asked for, from the al
lotment given the National commits
sion by the Philadelphia club.
One of the matters discussed by the
National commission in executive ses-
sion is that the commission will re-
quest the owners of the clubs to send
the teams or portions of the teams to
take part in games at the Panama
Pacific exposition.
Umpires Appointed.
1t was decided that in case a sew
enth game appeared to be necessary,
the city it which it would be played
would be decided by the toss of coin
before the beginning of the sixth
game.
The four umpires who will .arbi-
trate in the field ard On the foul lines
were selected by the presidents of the
two leagues. President Tener named
the National league representatives,
while President B. B. johnson selected
william Evans and Frank O'Lough-
lin to act for the American league.
The National commission names j. G.
II. Sphinx as it's representative among
the official scorers and requested
that the Baseball Writer'S association
appoint additional scorers from
among its members for Philadelphia
and Boston.
All the rules that erned the play
during the 1914 series will be in force
again this season. The National COM
mission announced that the umpires
would have the complete support and
backing of that body in preserving or
der and enforcing the rules among
the players. They are to be particu-
larly cautioned against permitting
any disorder or loud comment by
players on the benches CT the rival
clubs.
1t was further decided that in case
of tie game or a postponement due
to Indictment weather, the teams Will
remain in the city where such game
was to have been played until that
game is coraplete ard dates of future
games on the schedule will be adj
vanced to meet any such emergencies
arising.
Philadelphia Hears News.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 2.-When the
news was flashed here that the first
two games of the world series between
the Phillies and the Red Sox would be
played in this city, the down town Of
mediately was bombarded with in
Quiries about the starting of the
games.
Now that the date and place have
been fixed, the work of installing more
than half hundred telegraph wires
will be speeded up. The contractor
who is erecting the extra bleacher
seats and boxes has his work well UNI
der way.
The greatest problem facing the
club is how to take care of requests
for more than SO, 600 seats in a park
the capacity of which viii be about
FL 900. So far as possible Philadel-
phia fans will be taken care of first
william F. Baker. president of the
Philadelphia Nationals, said today
that he was determined to take care
of all Philadelphia fans before provid-'
ing accommodations for out-of-town
spectators at the go mes in Philadel-
phia-
This was in reply to President Lam
Minis statement that unless the Royal
Rooters of Boston were permitted to
purchase reserved seats in a block in
the bleachers for the Philadelphia
games he would not allow his Boston
American league team to compete in
the worlds series.
Baker said he thought Boston was
too big a baseball town to have a body
of 400 organized rocters upset a series
for which more than 1000 every day
rooters were anxious to witness
