BAKER WON'T
 GIVE SEATS TO
 BOSTON CROWD


 Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 2.-William F. Baker, President of the Phillies, the new National League champions, ar rived in Philadelphia. at noon yester- day from Boston, read over pile of congratulatory -teIegrams and left late in the afternoon for New York, where the National Commission will meet to arrange details for the coming worlds Series. Baker was asked about the report from Boston that he had refused to reserve 400 seats in the bleachers for the Boston Royal Root ers'' and that Lannin had expressed a determination to take the matter to the National Commission,
 s'That/ the report is wrong, said Baker, Here are the facts; When we were in Chicago MT. Lannin wrote me, asking for 500 seats in the $3 section, atad again in Boston, he repeated the request I told him that the National Commission allowed him 200 tickets but that I would add another 100 to that number. He said he must have 500 seats, but turned him down, al- though offered to make up some of the extra ones in the s section. That did not suit him, and it seems strange that if 500 persons are willing tQ pay. carfare, hotel bills and incidental ex- penses they should SbaH< at a couple of dollars more for seats.
 50 far as the sale of seats for Phila- delphians is concerned, we shall do nothing until next week. When the National Commission is finished we will go ahead

New Yorw, October 2.-New attend ance and gate receipt records are not unlikely in the coming Worlds Se- ries between the Philadelphia Ma tionals 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- winning 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 established in these de- partments 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 in creased 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 reciprocal ing the courtAsy extended to his club by the President Lannin last season when the Braves played and won. the Worlds Championship in the Boston American League park.
 If the Philade1phi Nationals were the possessQrs of a field with any thing like the seating capacity of the Red Soxs' temporary home the at tendance figures would in all prob ability soar above 3O0,0OO. Since the Phillies' park will hold but 10000 af- ter extra stands have been erected the National League representatives will be badly handicapped in their attemp pt to keep pace with the Boston gate. Should the series go but four games as was the case a year ago the at tendance would be 100000 for Boston and 10000 for Philadelphia. This total would be neW record for four game series since the Braves

Benny Leonard Gives
 Al Thomas Beating

New York, Oct. 2.-Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion of Harlem, handed Al Thomas of England a beat ing in their ten-round set-to if1,-the American Sporting club last night Leonard completely outclassed his English rival and had him on the verge of a knockout several times In the fourth Benny nearly ended the bout when he crashed a terrific right hook to the Englishman's jaw. Thorn- as crump1ed up in a heap and hit the floor with a, thud. At the count of eight the Englishman just barely managed to stagger to his feet
 Leonard continued to maui Thomas in the following rounds, and in the seventh split his lip with 3, straight left. This was followed by a right to the chin that rocked tho Englishman on his heels. The ninth was another bad session for Thomas. Leonard bat tered him from pillar to post, and the bell was welcome music to him.

FOOTBALL SEASON COMES TO
 SOME IMPORTANT CONTESTS
Mammoth Speedway Opening Postponed Today
 Other Timely Sporting Comment.

in August with the following results:
 F. Gordon Lowe of England de- feated Horace Rice of New South Wales for the Australian singles championship 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Horace Rice and c. Todd, the latter of New South Wales defeated F. Gordon Lowe of England and H. St. John of Queensland for the AustraIasian dopbles Championship at 8-6, 6-4, 7-9, 6-3
 The tournament was otherwise an interstate one between New South Wales and Queensland. The dt1ocat-, ing effect of the war upon tennis, as upon all other sports in the Antipo- des, is shown by the fact that A. O. Hara Wood Of Victoria, who won the singles championship last season, is at the front with the, Australian troops and did not competeJ The doubles winners of last season, A. Campbell and G. Patterson, also did not compete for a similar reason. q.
 The annual national ehampionsnips of the National Rifle Association will be decided at the Florida state range near Jacksonville beginning one week from next Fri aay. The leading marks men from all branches of the service and civilian corps will compete and high scores are expected. Including the matches of the Florida State Rifle Association; The Southern Rifle As sociation and the National Associa- tion, the tournament will occupy aI- most the entire month of October, be- ginning today and continuing until the 25th.
 The middle west has added another. interesting item to the . baseball chronicles of the year with a story of a rabbit which acted as pacemaker for a batter who had. driven out a home run. The incident occurred at St. Cloud, Minn, when Friedman of the home team lifted a. long hit to center field which started a rabbit hidden in the: long grass. This four legged spectator of the game, fright ened by the ball, ran toward the i'm field, reaching second base just ahead of Thiel1nan. Touching the bag, the rabbit headed for third and in order to avoid the b1eachers turned at that bag and crossing the home plate dis appeared under the grand stand. ThfelInan was right at the rabbits heels in the race for the plate and was credited with a circuit hit but the scorer refused to give the rabbit touched first base.
 The seasons record of William M. J Johnston, the 1915 tennis champion. upon which his ranking will be based consists of s14 matches against the leading players of the country. He. won and lost a match each against. Mclaughlin; lost two out of three matches against Williams and was also defeated by Pell, Niles and By- ford. His record, followers of ten his expect, will win for him the GOV eted number one position in the an nuaI ranking of American racquet experts.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

18S3-Charlie Mitchell defeated Will liam Sheriff in six rounds-at Flushing, N. Y. Mitchell was an Englishman and Sheriff a German, who was gen. orally knowp as ''The Prussian.'' The bout was with small gloves and was for $1,0O0 a side, and was pulled off at Harry Hills place in the Long Island town. The following year Sheriff was whipped by Jake Kilrafn at Cambridge, Mass. Sheriff's most notable battle was that fought the following year with a big scrapper known as Welch. They battIed at Philadelphia and the contest went 76 rounds, lasting hours, 3 minutes and 45 seconds. This was the longest bat tie ever fought in America up to that time. In 1890 Danny Needham and Patsy Kerrigan set up a new record of 6 hours and 39 minutes at San Francisco, and in 1893 the present worlds record was established at New Orleans when Andy Bowen and Jack Burke battled for 2 hours and 19 min utes. Sheriff was the first German to make reputation in the American ring.
