PHILLY FANS In
NO HAPPY MOOD
Reserved Seats for Games
Snapped Up Without
a Public Sale.
lBy Telegraph 70 rns Tribune J

Philadelphia. Oct. 4.-Philadelphis
fans are incensed because Of the an
nouncement made to-day that there
will be no public sale Of reserved sests
70 the world, series games played here.
More than $4,000 applications have
been received through the mail for the
$4,000 reserved seats that will be avail
able for the first two contests. These
orders must be filed first and will ex-
haust the supply.
The new arrangement will do away
with the long line that heretofore has
formed in front Of the ticket window
a day or two in advance Of the opening
contest.
The fans, however. are not frozen
out as 5000 tickets for the bleaehers
will be disposed Of at the park at pub
lie sale on the day Of each game.
The ticket Office will remain open
from II a. m. until every ticket Is sold.
There will be no standing room the
management announces, either IN the
bleachers or on the stands.
The construction Of the additional
section Of bleacher seats back OF cen
trefeld was completed just prior to the
game with Brooklyn to-day, but work
on the extra boxes had TO be stopped
when the contest started.
By these additions, il is estimated,
the capacity of the park will be In
creased 20 about 2l,000. The new
bleacher section is in almost direct
line from the home plate, and two
wears ago when seats were erected In
the same place the New York Giants
protested on the ground that the spec
tators, by waving hats and newspapers,
interfered with the batters
Federal and local authorities IRE in
vestigating reports that agents, said 70
represent a New York concern, are sell
ing tickets for big pool on the worlds
series and promising thousands Of dol
lars 10 holders of winning coupons.
A number of men were indicted by
the Federal Grand Jury here last month
OF charges of operating baseball pools
in various parts Of the country, and u
was stated that vigorous efforts will
be made TO break up the present
scheme.
The Phillies will close their regular
league season tomorrow. when dou-
ble-header will be played with the
Brooklyn team. Wednesday was an open
date and Thursdays game was moved
up.
This will give the National League
champions two days for secret practice
and an opportunity TO perfect them
selves in special plays which they hope
to use 20 advantage In the series with
the winners of the American League
pcnnant.
The official scorer TO represent the
Philadelphia baseball writers has not
yet been selected. Nicholas Flatley, OF
"The Boston Herald" has been named
10 represent Boston.

Play Full Nine Innings in an
Hour and Three Minutes
-Daubert Factor in
Brooklyn Victory.
RI, TELEGRAPH TO Ths Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, Oct 4.-The Ph.llies,
champions Of the National League and
possible champions Of the world, still!
own the mastery OF the Brooklyn Su-
perbas. Throughout the season Rob-
bie's men have consistently beaten the
Quaker City team, and, now the pen
nant has been settled, they fnd II diff
cult to stray from the beaten paths.
Playing with all the snap and dash that
ordinarily marks tho champion, Brook
Ign won by a score of to 2 here this
afternoon, while eightthousand fans
sat in Judgment.
The teams established a record for
the season in completing the nine full
innings in hour and minutes. Inis
Is one Of the fastest games ever played
in the history of the game, and IT Is
believed to be a major league record:
Earlier In the season the Giants and
Pittsburgh played a game in hour and
10 minutes.
Smoky Joe" Wood and Ernie Shore,
pitchers of the Boston Red Sox, were
on hand to witness the games and pick
UP few points on the weak points OF
the batters, if possible. They entered
the grounds unannounced, but the fans
soon recognized them, and soon Joe and
Ernie were the centre of interest.
Pat Moran, manager OF the Philliesj
Grover Alexander, who may win the
series for the Phillies, and Bill Killifer
were in New York TO watch the Red
Sox grapple with the Yankees. Since
the Red Sox were beaten the report was
circulated that both champions were
stalling.
Jake Daubert was the leading figure
in Brooklyn's victory. His rollicking
extra base drives accounted for two of
the runs scored by his team; Milton
Stock aided the cause of Brooklyn by
chipping in with an error At once
Wood and Shore scrubbed in their note
books, and an inquisitive fan glanced
over their shoulders and read: Hit 'em
down to Stock" Who may doubt now
that the Boston players are men Of
keen perception.
Daubert took up the offensive fight
in the first inning. After O'Mara died
a peaceful death Daubert tripled to the
fence, and scored on Charley Stengel's
sacrifice fly TO Cravath. In the sixth he
took up the task Of scoring runs once
more O'Mara was safe on Stocks fun
bic, and Daubert drove out double,
sending O'Mara TO third. Casey Stengel
grounded to Bert Dugey, and died at
first, while O'Mara scored and Daubert
went TO third. Buck Wheat died the
same way, Daubert registering at the
plate.
The Braves got their first run in the
fourth frame on a double by Cravath,
a sacrifice by Luderus and a single by
Beals Becker They got another in the
eighth on Paskert's double, Cravath' 3
single and a sacrifice by Luderus.
JEFF Pfeffer and George McQullan
had a merry little battle, and while
Pfeffer was harder hit he had com
paratiyely little trouble.
The score follows:

and his Judgment of balls was so bad
in the second game that, after he had
fooled several, Janvrin replaced him.
Scott's injury is not believed to be
serious.
The Yankees won the first game by
hard hitting. In the third inning
Alexander walked, took second on
sacrifice and third On an infeld out.
Peck's single brought him home.
Alexander opened the fifth with
double to left High singled and Peck
inpaugh's double TO centre brought
Alexander and High home. Two more
runs came in the sixth on single by
Baumann, Miller's double and Alex
ander's single.
MaisePs two-base wild throw on
Barrv's grounder started the Red Sox
on their way TO their only run, which
came in the fourth. Carrigan sacrificed
and Hooper's single drove Barry home
The second affair was tight one
and the Yankees won by scoring two
runs in the eighth.
Boston scored on Caldwell in the
second on a pass TO Hoblitzel, double
by Lewis and Gardner's sacrifice ny
Alexander's wild throw handed the Red
Sox their second run. 1t was in the
sixth. With one out, Janvrin, batting
for Scott, singled TO centre and was
forced by Speaker. Hoblitzel singled
TO left. Speaker stole third and Hob
litzel second, Speaker trotting home
when Alexander's throw went high
over Maisel TO left field.
Speaker was big disappointment to
his friends in the seventh. With one
out. Nunamaker drove a fly TO deep
centre. Speaker took his time going
after II and mufFed ii on the run
Nunamaker reaching third, from
where he tailed on CaldwelPs sacri-
fee fly. -,
II looked to be Boston's game until
Peckinpaugh started the eighth with
home run into the left field bleachers
Boone grounded out, but Pipp singled
to centre, taking second on a wild
pitch. Baumann singled 20 centre. Pipp
got away from second slowly, fearing
that Speaker was going 70 catch the
bali. and made only third on the hit.
Hendryx sent sacrifice fly TO Lewis
and Pipp came in with the run that

yesterday. They wanted to keep their
scouting trip secret from Bill CARR

Carrigan. He saw them come in.
Joe Wood and Ernie Shore, Red Sox
pitchers, were in Philadelphia looking
