1t must be considered shortsighted-
ness that the Philadelphia National
League club did not shift it's world
series games to Shibe Park, where it
could have accommodated about 10000
more fans every day the team plays in
Philadelphia. Official announcement rs
to the effect that the PhilIies' grounds
will accommodate $1,000. which is less
than any of the parks of recent years
have held during the classic series.
That the Phillies should deliberately
toss off lot of money by insisting that
the games be played on their small
grounds is not good business judgment
The Boston Americans have a plant
large enough to take care of about
10000. yet Owner Lannin saw the bene
fit Of shifting his games to the Braves
park, where there is a seating capacity
of 3.400. This means that the players.
as well as the clubs must figure on
getting most of their rewards while in
Boston, for while the patrons of the
sport may be willing to pay their way
to see the games only a small portion
OF them can be accommodated.
There are but few departments of the
game in the American League in which
Ty Cobb is not leading this year. In
cidentally he has broken the base
stealing record formerly held by Clyde
Milan. Milan's mark was eighty-eight
pliers, but Cobb this year stole ninety
seven bases. badly beating the record
of the local outfielder. The Georgian
also leads in batting averages and has
scored moro runs than any of the other
players. This was probably the great
st year Cobb ever has had in base ball.
He has paid strict attertion to his
work. and If memory serves right has
not missed game during the present
season. when in former seasons he was
out of the lineup quite a lot. thus
weakening his teams chances in the
race.
The selection of Philadelphia for the
open ng Of the world series sets at rest

Rumors of some of the wise fellows was

in Boston. because the largest crowds
could be played to there. The fact that
it is rule OF the national commission
to decide the playing of the first game
by the toss of coin, was ridiculed by
these doubling Thomases. but fortu-

He is expected to replace Moore and be

Recalling Last Year.

Notwithstanding that. on form, the
Bostonians are considered to have the
advantage of the Phillies. followers of
the game here call attention to last
years series between the Athletics and
Boston Braves. On paper the Athletics
completely outclassed their rivals. but
when it came to actual play figures
counted for naught. and the Braves
took the series in four straight games.
One familiar scene in connection with
the big series will be lacking here this
season. The Phillies' management has
announced that there will be no public
sale of tickets, and therefore the long
line which usually formed two and
sometimes three days in advance of
the opening game to purchase seats,
will be missing.

UP FOR WORLD SERIES
Will Play Brooklyn Until Day Be-
fore First Big Battle in
Quaker City.

PHILADELPHIA, October 4.-The
Philadelphia Nationals began tuning up
today for the world series with the Boston
Americans, which opens here Friday.
Only three games-with Brooklyn-re-
main on the Phillies' regular National
League schedule. These games will be
played today. tomorrow and Thursday.
and, with Wednesday an open date. the
local fans figure Manager Moran should
have his men in first-class shape for the
opening Of the big series.
Speculation as to how the rival man
a gers will use their pitchers in the COM
ing struggle for premier base ball honors
seems to be attracting most attention at
present 1t is generally believed Moran
will send Alexander to the box in the
opening contest, regardless Of who Man
ager Carrigan selects. For the second
game the fans predict that either Chal-
mers or Rixey" will be Moran's selection.
and that Alexander will pitch the third
game in Boston. Mayer and Demaree,
however, are not lost sight of in the vari-
Gus predictions, and both are picked as
likely candidates for one OF the contests.
