 Alexander May Pitch Three Games.
 No one. aside from Manager Moran, knows how the Phillies win marshal their pitching staff, IL Is accepted as a certainty that Alexander will figure in at least three games, and possibly more, if the series is evenly contested and long drawn out National league adherents are banking bravely on the latter to win the worlds championship for the senior league and their faith in his extraordinary pitching ability Is Umpire Bill Klem in which he said:
 There is one player in our league who could win the pennant for any of the seven teams who are out of first place. He is Grover Cleveland Alex ander. It Is the first time since I have been in the league that one player stands out in front of all his rivals"
 The tribute is we'll deserved, but a worlds series develops some strange angles. actions and reactions. A de- cisive Victory for the Red Sox over the Phillies with Alexander in the box in the initial contest now so near at hand would upset all baseball dope" and cause consternation in National league circles. Yet it would be no more sen- sational than the utter collapse of the famous Mack machine when the Ath- letics lost four straight games to the Boston Braves last autumn
 | For the purpose of comparison, the pitching batting and fielding averages of the boxmen, of both the Red Sox and Phillies are appended:
Norwich bulletin., 1915-10-06

As was the case last season, when the same cities, but different clubs, were involved in the worlds series, Philadelphia and Boston will enter the coming struggle for the prize of the baseball universe with the same nu- partment. Both the Phillies and the Red Sox have eight twirlers who can be called to the mound by Managers Moran and Carrigan. but 1t is likely that not more than half this force of hurlers will be started during the se- ries which begins late this week.
 The Phiilies' pitching staff includes Alexander, Demaree, McQuillan. Rixey, Chalmers, Mayer, Tincup and Baum gartner. The Red sSox hurling force includes Foster. Leonard, Ruth. Shore, Wood. Gregg, Collins and Hays Sew eral of these pitchers have not figured to any extent in the general seasons will not be found in the box scores when the final reckonings are made for the series of 1915.s Those most likely to go to the mound as National league representatives are Alexander, Dema- rec, Mayer. McQuillan. Rixey and Chalmers. while the American league pitchers will undoubtedly be selected from Foster. Leonard, Ruth. Shore, Wood and Gregg.
 Alexander Moran's Trump Card.
 In considering the strength of the pitching departments of the Phillies and Red Sox it is therefore necessary to anaiyze the all round ability of the seXtettes named An unusual difficulty is encountered at the very beginning, since it is conceded that Alexander will be used in from two to three of the first four games, depending upon the order of play.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS RRAcTIoNARY.
An Early Decline Was Checked b, Improvement Shown by Railways.

New York, Oct. 5.-Reactionary ten- dencies were uppermost throughout today's session, despite the making of some new high records in the war shares. It was this particular group, however, which manifested increased heaviness and the susceptibility of these issues to adverse influences mere rumors, in fact-demonstrated anew the artificial and speculative character of the movements in this class of stocks.
 Selling of many of these issues were resumed, at the outset the decline being in the nature of a continuation of yesterdays late operations The early decline was soon checked, main. ly as result of the improvement shown by railways, but even this manoeuver failed of effect, a second decline setting in gefore noon.

Bid Crowd Expected.

Boston, Oct 1.-The worlds series games, to be playel in this city next Monday and Tuesday probably will be witnessed by 45,0O0 persons, Presi- dent Joseph J. Lannin of the Boston Americans announced tonight.
 Careful checking up of the capacity of Braves field, he said, had shown that this number could be cared for without inconvenience About 5000 persons will be allowed to stand, either in the rear of the grandstand, or behind a fence to be erected in right field.
 President Lannin expressed the be- lief that few, if any of the thousands of persons who have applied for re- served seats would be disappointed. It was his desire, he said, to take care of everyone and 25,600 seats were set aside for reservation A few appli- cations for large numbers of seats were pared down in order to accom-
 lodate applications for smaller allot- ments and some were refused because of indications that they were intended for speculative purposes. It Is Pres ident Lannin's opinion that the spec ulative element will figure very little in the disposition of seats this year

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Process of Dimmng Garing Headlight Cup Races at Sheepshead Bay Will Take Place Saturday-Connec- ticut Farmer Uses Auto to Saw Wood.


 There are several ways of dimming the bright headlights to comply with these ordinances. The better method, and the one in use on all of the bet ter cars. is what is called the series parallel system. By this way of wir- ing. the same bulbs are used for the bright and dirnmed lights. When burning bright the lamps are connect ed so that they operate on the full voltage of the battery. But when dimmed the connection is so that the lamps are only half voltage.
 This prictice. reduces the current consumption to a minimum When the lights are dimmed, about three fourths of the current is saved Such economy does away with storage bat tery trouble and consequent repair bills. This saving of current com mends the series-parallel dimming ar rangement to all motor car owners. Tn some cases two bulbs are used in each head lamp. one large bulb and one small one. The large bulb is used for country driving and in. places where a bright light is necessary. The small one is used in cities to give the dim light. This method involves the use of two separate systems of wiring for the two lights and consequent ada ed chances for electrical trouble. The renewal of the two extra bulbs from time to time. is not a small Item in the expense account.
 Another method of dimming, is the incorporation of a resistance in the l lighting wiring. No extra bulbs are 1 used, but when the lights are dimmed part of the current is absorbed | through this resistance. It can cas- l fly be understood that this is a very wasteful practice, as practically the same amount of current is used whether the lights be bright ol | dimmed.
