Major Magnates Uncertain
as to Worlds Series Plans

New York. Sept. 13.-Owing to the
closeness of the two major league
pennant races and the resultant uncer-
tainty regarding the contenders for
worlds series honors. members of the
national commission are seriously han
dicapped in their efforts to draw up q
schedule and make other arrange
nlents for the holding of the series,
less than a month away
Although the date for the opening
game has been unofficially set for Sat
urday. October Z, the fact that the COM
mission is unable to determine at this
time which clubs will participate is
hampering>the completion of the many
details and arrangements which they
wish to clear up we'll in advance If the
series Is to move smoothly once the
play is on.
This problem, 1t was announced here
yesterday, will be fully discussed at
Cincinnati on Friday when the COM
mission and the club owners gather for
the annual drafting of minor league
players. The situation may result, it
was indicated, in the extraordinary
procedure of preparing a number of
worlds series schedules covering Ma
tional and American League clubs
which have a chance to win the right
to compete in the baseball classic.
Only three weeks leeway will exist
at the time the magnates meet in Gin
cinnati and it has been suggested in
official circles that the only way to
meet the conditions would be to adopt
Guiding Brooklyn. Philadelphia and
Boston in the National League and
Boston, Detroit and Chicago in the
American League.

straight heats. showing a turn of speed
and reducing her former record by five
seconds. Virginia Todd was the factor,
with Blonde Boy close up.
The 2.2& class pace produced field
of hve side-wheelers, but two of the
number were very unsteady in the
opening heat and distanced. Queen
Bell won the first heat in 2.16A, after
which the Philadelphia entry, Doctor
r, was sent to the front and won out,
taking q mark of 2.I5A and making
his fourth win in three weeks. Queen
Bell showed a game finish in all the
heats. but could not land.
The All class trot went to the New
Jersey entry. Celia Dillon. in straight

Shortage Of Hose Is
Reported to Firemen's Union

The various fire companies of the city
were fully represented at the monthly
meeting of the Firemens Union, at the
Friendship enginehouse, last evening.
Reports were made that the aues of
the Friendship eneine were leaking. ana
also one set of nests of the Good viii
steamer. There is such a shortage of
hose that two or three companies re-
ported tney had to reel or prepare their
hose for the next fire alarm before they
could dry them.
The subject of bridges across our
public streets or alleys was discussed,
and their handicapping efficient work
when fires occur near them The ac-
tive firemen of the city were very much
worried by the parking of automobiles
on both sides of parts of Third, Wal
nut and Fourth streets; as with trolley
cars moving over those streets there Is
no space left for fire apparatus to pass,
when called out by fire alarms. There
have been some very narrow escapes
on this account, in addition to delays in
reaching points where the call had gone
out
There is much qualification that the
overhead wires in the congested parts
of the city are being gradually remoN-
ed. The companies arc beginning to
make preparations for the great fire.

The Wall Street Girl, by Frederick
Orin Bartlett. (Houghton Miff1in Co.,
Boston, s1.s5 metz
The story is woven from an old
theme, based on the mystical power of
love in working out the mans saliva
ton through the girls inspiration. 1t
is none the less an absorbing love
story, the sort of book that one does
not put away until finished. The So
cial butterfly. pampered and hope
lessly impractical, imprisoned in a
gilded cage so far as knowledge OF
real living is concerned, is engaged to
the man of infinite possibilities, who
has had everything he wants till his
father dies leaving a will which ties
up the property and throws the son on
his own resources. He looks for a job
and is guided along the proper busi-
ness lines by the capable stenographer
who enters the story.
She is a girl of the Emma McChes-
ney type, and is best described by sug-
gesting that Ethel Barrymore could
hest impersonate her on the stage.
Straight as a die. with an intensely
lovable character that necessity has
concealed under businesslike exter-
ior, she looks after the young man
and. of course, the book reaches a sat
isfactory conclusion. Lack of original
ity is the. only drawback, but one can
not expect to eat his cake and have it,
too.
