was amicably adjusted. President Baker
OF the Phillies club agreed to give the
Royal Rooters" 100 seats from the
philadelphia allotment. President Lam
ming gave up the same number from the
Boston allotment. while the National
commission agreed TO contribute 300
seats from its share OF the tickets. The
Royal Rooters" will have seats In the
grandstand and not In the bleachers.
The National commission then took up
the question of the proposed Pacific coast
trip OF the two contending worlds series
teams. but nothing definite was decided
upon.
The commission and the owners OF the
Philadelphia and Boston clubs were fay
orably impressed with the idea, however,
and the club owners will take the matter
up with their managers. and players. A
committee from the Panama Pacific ex..
position is expected 10 come east and
eiscuss the proposed trip with the mag
mates during the worlds series.
II was thought that probably twenty
five or more OF the players participating
In the world 3 series will make. the trip
TO the coast and take part In a second
series for the benefit OF far western base
ball fans
The National commission will take
charge OF all arrangements and handle
II In much the manner as the worlds
series. The gate receipts win go toward
defraying the expenses incurred during
the series. The next meeting OF the Ma
tional commit sion will be held in Phila-
delphia October 8. during the forenoon
Of the day set for the first game.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2-PhiladelphiA
base ball fans were elated when the
news was flashed here that the first two
gnmes OF the worlds series between the
Phillies and the Red sox would be played
In this city There was also satisfaction
expressed that the first game is scheduled
for October 8. as the town was eager.
despite the fact that It has had five
such series In the last six seasons, 10
have the games start at an early date.
The downtown office OF the Philadel-
phia club was bombarded all morning
with inquiries about the starting OF the
games. Now that the date and place
have been fixed. the work OF installing
more than a half hundred telegraph
wires win be speeded up. The eontrac-
tor who Is erecting the extra bleacher
seats and boxes has his work well under
way
The greatest problem facing the club
is how 70 take care Of requests for more
than 5000 seats In a park the capacity
OF which will be about 2l.Oo0. SO far
as possible Philadelphia fans win be
taken care OF first.

promoted the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard

Since Frank Gotch retired from the
wrestling world until Joe Stecher made
his appearance Americus was probably
the greatest of the American wrestlers.
And even yet he still regards himself In
that light, disputing Stechers bid for SUI

Americus La Fast.
The match between Americus and
stecher as a result should attract wide
attention In the wrestling world Amer
icus is the style of wrestler who would
be able to give Stecher the hardest kind
OF battle. He IL fast. depends largely
upon his speed, and he outweighs stecher

more mans shoulders to the mat in as
quick order as he did Charley. Cutler
there will be nobody who can dispute the
assertion that the wrestling championship
Of the world belongs In Nebraska.
Omaha promoters put IN strong bids for
the match. but Hetmanek. Joe stechers
manager, said that Lincoln had been
clamoring TO see Joe in big match for
months and that as Omaha had the last
big match. the Capital city should get the
one with Americas.
Jack curley will come to Lincoln in a
week or two and make all arrangements
for the match. Americas will proba bly,

able feeling was shown at time, it looks
as if all questions were finally settled
amicably and organized labor will pre-
sent united front to those who hoped
that turmoil and discord would result.
Many very important resolutions were
adopted that will have a great bearing
upon the future.
