clubs and hotels
Are YOU weIl supplied with tickets for
the worlds series7" they asked men go
ing in and out.
Those who answered in the negative
were asked to give their orders. The
scalpers made arrangements to deliver
the tickets tomorrow. A curious feature
of the coming street sale was the action
of the largest local ticket agency today
which refused to accept any more orders.
Agents Of this firm said enough orders
had been received to oil the Phily park
and another one like IL from grandstand

might be too late, so he spent the SIG in
paying his passage and railroad fare. The
captain is now in this city, and II he

have to go elsewhere for his pasteboards.
"I think this series is gouge," said
Captain Kenney, gloomily. I'VE have IN

The captain admitted that President

and walked out of Bakers Office.
Superintendent of Police Robinson was
offered fifty s. seats. He also declined
them.
1t became known today that the Peter
E. Costello g. Co. was included in the list
OF reputable business men" for whom
Superintendent Robinson asked Baker for
tickets. The Philly president refused to
comply with the demand. Several other
politicians are said to have been included
In the list.
Captain Kenney admitted today that
President Baker said to him in the course
of their interview yesterday: "If you
were in any other city you would be
brought up before the police board of
inquiry just for asking for worlds series
tickets"

challenged him to start anything he felt
he could back up before the police board
I'm ready to face trial for anything
I've done" said the captain. angrily.
The gloom at City Hall today was so
thick it could be cut with a knife. Poll
ticians whose cigars ordinarily point to
the north star were dropping today. The
assurance of old had disappeared. A
look of desperation had taken its place
All chance of getting worlds series
tickets at face value was dead, and the
City Hall hangers-on knew 1t.
The scalpers were different. They were
whistlng cheerfully in the short intervals
between interviews with prospective pur-
chasers, juggling small change or sorting
out powerful looking rolls of bills with
the nonchalance of those who 'get it
easy"
Sure we'll have the tickets" said the
scalpers; don't we always have them ?
Didn't we have em last year? Wen have
'em next year, too, and the year after,
so long as they hold Worlds Series. Give
up your name and address and come
around with the long green, pal, and
you'll get your cards"
Robert B.. McRoy, special representa-
tive Of the National Commission, reached
Broad Street Station this morning from
Boston. Mr.. McRoy approved all the
arrangements for the handling of the
crowds by the Red Sox management.
