ANGRY MOB WATTS
 FOR SERIES TICKETS
Police Needed to Keep Lines
 Straight in Boston

Boston, Oct. 6.-Seekers of reserved bleacher crowds yesterday in the scramble for reservations for the world series baseball games, which begin here tomorrow. They swarmed about the ticket offices at Fenway park in lines broken often by the eagerness of enthusiasts to obtain earlier possession of tickets.
 Women and staid business men vied with messenger boys and others in their efforts to gain prominent places in the line. No actual disorder de- veloped, but the police were called upon to reform lines, and club em- ployes endeavOred unsuccessfully to placate disappointed applicants who ciamored for answer to their written requests for seats.
 The rush for reservations was a re- suit of a new system, made necessary this year. President J. J. Gannin of the Boston Americans explained, be- cause of the late date upon which the American league race was decided. By this system successful applicants were assigned 8 number calling for tickets cf a. certain class, without a definite designation of the seats as In other years Those first In line obtained the better seats as they were distributed by the ticket sellers and it was to obtain this advantage that applicants sought the leading places in the lines.
 Many Are Disappointed.
 In all probability, club officials agree, more persons have been disap- | pointed through failure to receive | tickets this year than ever before. l The fact that the series opens here and that the third game in this city, | the fifth of the series, will be played
 on Columbus day, a holiday, if the schedule is followed, has gretly in | creased the demand. Hundreds of requests have been refused
 An indication of the number of re- | fusals was shown in the statement of

man who SpeculateS in such tickets that he had caused eighteen letters to be written, each asking for two seats, and had received word to date of the granting of only three of these appli- catons. Professional spectators have encountered other difficulties at the outset of their operations. The police patrol of the ticket lines is rigorous, and those soliciting or selling tickets gre first warned away and then ar tested if they persist.
 Arrest Scalpcr.
 One arrest was made yesterday, Harris Epstin who gave his address as Brooklyn, N. Y, being sent to court, where he was found guilty of selling tickets without a permit The man claimed he was acting for friends. He was fined $15.
 Private detet tives are said to be in touch with the distribution of large blocks of seats furnished to municipal offices, the police and fire departments and various public service companies, to be certain that none of these blocks is turned to private profit.
 Because of their delay in obtaining tickets, some of the players missed a train for Worcester, where part of the team played an exhibition game with the Philadelphia Americans. Others delayed their appearance for practice at Braves Field for the same reason. It was said some of the players had experienced trouble in having all their ticket wants satisfied.
 Barry Still Dubious.
 The session at Braves Field, which Manager Carrgan directed, was a linn bering up affair, in which everybody seemed to take it easy. At Worcester the representatives of the world S champions were defeated by the Ath :. letics, to 0, in a game which devel- oped only ordinary performances. A poor throw by Janvrin, which caused score, and fast fielding by Walker were incidents.
 To friends in Worcester Capt. Jack Barry said his recently broken hand was still weak and that he was doubt full whether he would be able to play in the big series.

Tigers Show Pep.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 6.-For the first time since the arrival of the IT. ger football squad in Princeton, Speedy Rush was able to place his full varsity lineup on the field yesterday afternoon for a short scrimmage with the scrubs The head coach allowed his first team to scrimmage only seven minutes, but during this time the ball was carried by straight football from one end of the field to the other, where Driggs carried 1t over for a touch down.
 Nourse is back in the lineup again, while Mclean, who has been kept out of scrimmage for @ couple of days, held his old position at tackle. High lev and Wilson were back at the wing positions in place of Funk and Rahill, who have been on the varsity for sev eral days. The lineup of veterans ap- neared to be the best that Rush has this week as, play after play, they went through the line or around the end for repeated gains. There was O more concerted charge and better team play than has been evident In the Tigers work all season.
 Ames supplanted Eddy at quarter back. calling the signals both in the preliminary practice and in the scrim~ mace The contest for this place nromises to be keen. Eddy Is stron g open field runner but he lacks ex- perience at the pivot position. Ames. on the other hand, played at this posi- ton during the entire season in 1914

slder in comparing any two clubs. These are offense and defense. On offense there is no great diff ference Brooklyn, with Daubert Wheat, Stengel and others has first class batsmen to grapple with Lewis, Gardner, Hobby, etc.
 The Boston club doesn't carry any great amount of heavy artillery. But it has a sharp, decisive fire for every important engagement.
 Facing the same pitching, the two clubs would hit with about equal power.
 But upon defense Boston has the debate all her way. She has harder pitching to hit; a surer defensive in field and a steadier defensive outfield. You hear very little, for example, about Hal Janvrin and Everett Scott. ct these two are both infield stars upon defense, sure and swift. Larry Gardner is fine third baseman, and Hcblitzell, while not a shining wonder , is a first class first baseman, as good in defensive work as Daubert.
 Boston Should Win. So if the dope is to be believed, , Boston should win in four games out of six.
 The Red Sox have the two main es-
 sentials-brilliant pitching and proven
 steadness under fire.
 i Brooklyn has good pitching, but
 Brooklyn has yet to show this steadi- ness under the toughest test of the game Brooklyn's pennant showing
 against the Phillies Is the best evil
 dnnce along this line-an evidence arranged from eight games. Summed up, you nave this: The Red Sox beat the Phillies in the last world series four out of five. The Phillies, this last September with the flag at stake and the two teams about neck and neck, beat the Robins seven games out of eight. And In this world series roundup
 the club picked generally to win all most always arrives.
 Brooklyn's main chance is Rube Marquard and Jack Coombs. These two are not likely to be overwhelmed by world series furries, as they have
 been in three such jubilees before Coombs with Philadelphia and Mar : Qrard with New York
 But always there falls the shadow of two left-handers and big, tall rig ht- -hander-of Babe Ruth and Dutch Leonard and Ernie Shore. How are these three pitchers to be beaten
 four times in seven starts? We can
 find no answer, although Brooklyn
 may yet reverse the dope and furnish

COACHES PLEASED
 BY YALE SHOWING
Heaviest Days Work Of Season
 Brings Good Results

New Haven, Oct. 6.-The heaviest
 days scrimmage program of the week for the Yale eleven was carried ont yesterday, when the varsity faced the scrubs for forty minutes and WAS able to penetrate their trenches only once. Bob Bingham went over the line for touchdown. For the first time in nearly a fortnight the gates 1 of Yale Field were closed, but the varsity tried no trick football The policy announced by the new coach ing regime of relying on straight and fast football until the makeup of inc team is well established and the pre- lim1nary games are played, will be followed
 Although only @ single score was tall1ed the coaches were pleased and described the work of the varsity as decided improvement over any re- cent gridiron practice. Neither the varsity nor scrub eleven was able to make it's attacks go for long runs, and the varsity was checked twice. but their plays invariably netted small gains.
 For the afternoon backfield change went into effect, Hutchinson and Neville placing Jacques and Le- gore, who have been subjected to hard wear all the week and who are badly needed as Yale's most consistent ground gathers in the backfeld next Saturday against University of Vir- ginia. In the rushline a new center, Avery, was tried. Callahan and Vorys are still on the sidelines because of injuries, and neither Maurice Smith nor Ross, who have been tried at Sn9nb9ck the na wnaly flJa1 +J,o bill as regards accuracy in passing. Avery's play in this respect was also unsatisfactory today and the coaches would welcome the return of one of the two experienced centers who are now crippled. Charley Comerford freshman captain last year, went back to right end today and will proba b1y be started in Saturdays game, al- though he was replaced by Church in the middle of the drill this after noon. Mose1y succeeded Gates at left end during the latter half of yester- days matinee.
 Captain Black has not been in the lineup since the game with Carnegie last Saturday, but Trainer John Mack expects him to start the play against Virginia Material for both the tackle and guard is scant. It was announced last night that Charley Taft, son of the ex-President, had undergone a slight operation because of an infec- ed toe, and would be unable to play for perhaps two weeks. He was first substitute tackle. Gait and Heenen- CT, last years freshman guards, held the varsity flank positions today.
 Strudella, one of the best fresh man end rushes last season has re- ported for practice. Paul Veeder and John Field were the visiting coaches. Last night the first evening practice of the season was held in the baseball cage, the first and second teams spending an hour running off signals in the interior of the enclosure which was flooded with artificial light.

Light Work For Harvard

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 6.-There was only the lightest of practice for the Harvard football men, the scrub team being kept out of the scrimmaga with the varsity, which worked on plays against the substitutes. There was a little rushing, but generally the plays were run slowly, and the prac- tice was one for instruction. The kicking drill was unusually long, and the coaches put on some of the special defenses for the Tufts game on Sat urday.
 Bond, of the varsity backfeld, made a 3O-yard field goal, but this was the only scoring. Neither Taylor nor Gamer was in the lineup, Wheeler and Lowell being the tackles. Both prob ably will start the Tufts game. Flower was not in the backffeld, Minot of last years scrubs taking his place. Center Rush Harris, who has had lame ankle, was back in the game. There have been many ankle hurts this year, many more than usual. Batchelder possibly will play Saturday, put more likely at center than at tackle.

No. 4. BrookIyn's Chance.


 What chance has Brooklyn? If one is to believe in the main ingredients attached to the Grandoldope, the di- VERY MUCH.
 But if one is to take into considera- ton the eternal possibilities of an up set in seven game series, the answer might not be so direct. In dealing directly with a situation of this sort the only way ahead is to follow the devious trail of the dope. And so far as the dope is concerned Bostons Red Sox are overwhelming favorltes.
 Reason 1.
 The first reason is thiS-the Red Sox went out and bagged their pennant in a tough league by oVerpowerlng their main rivals-Detroit and Chi cago.
 When the flag was at stake they took these two rival towns by storm winning five of the six games played W ent out and won.
 On the other wing, the Brooklyn Robins won despite their ability in the stretch to stop their leading rival With eight September games cast I CTS won one and lost seven. This shows the big difference between the clubs under fre-for results go long with prejudice.
 Reason ?.
 Bobby has good steady pitching staff in Marquard, Coombs, Pfeffer, Cheney and Smith.
 e, l a -n this staff with Babe Ruth, Dutch Leonard and Ernest Shore.
 Ruth, Leonard and Shore stopped Cobb Crawford, Jackson, Collins and Veach whenever they cared to.
 But Marouard alone could stop the Philly attack in the other league Ruth. Leonard and Shore comprise two great left-handers and a great 1tght-hander. Once keyed up they will be almost unhittable.
 Maruuard and Coombs have had world series experience, and we be- ieve these two will be effective The Rube looks as well as ever, and he has beaten the Red Sox before. Coombs is a smart, courageous pitcher with a world of experience and a lot of stuff left. Neither of these will be easy to beat. But the Brooklyn pitching staff doesn't stand up with that Bos- ton trio by a number of spans.
 Reason 3
 The Red Sox with Hoblitzell, Barry. Scott, Janvrin and Gardner have surer infield on defense and one that will hit every whit as hard At short and third Boston has a decided ad- vantage Between the two infieds Boston has the best of 1t, not only through greater worlds series ex- pcrience. but through far greater steadiness against the test.
 Reason f.
 Wheat, Johnson, Stengel and My CTS can hit the ball with Lewis, Hooper, Walker and Shorten.
 But we know pretty well what Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper can do in such a series, for we saw them op- crate against the Giants in 1912 and against the Phillies In 1915
 Lewis and Hooper are two great world series types, the sort that have the knack of rising to the occa sion, either with a miracle catch or long, timely smash at the bat.
 They have both been seasoned in rlany bitter wars, and unless they happen to bump into an off week they are pretty sure to star again.
 Reason 5.
 There are two main details to con-

and was the substitute for Click last year. In Saturdays game with North Carolina it is probable that both of them will receive a long try-Out
 It is a matter of much conjecture in Princeton as to where Head Coach Rush will place Dave Tibot, who made his reputation as a drop kicker last year. Moore, Brown and Driggs make an unusual backfield trio, and it is thought by some that Tibot will not hold a regular position this season.
 The varsity as it took the field was: Highly and Wilson, ends; Mclean and La Trobe, tackles; Hogg and Nourse, guards; Gennert, center; Ames, quar- terback; Moore and Brown, half back, and Driggs, fullback.

 There have been moro than thou sand such cases since the War began and even now letters praying for the release of young soldiers Of fortune pour into the state department at the rate of 50 a day. It has been ucce-. sary to assign an official to give sna cial attention to the subject
 The story almost always is tho same. The youngster, generally b. tween sixteen and twenty. suddenly disappears and is next heard from when he writes home from Canada Or England that he has had enough of war and wants to come home.
 Then follows an almost tornaasIll.. correspondence in which officials. p1. rents, congressman and persons who think they can hurry the proccssns of diplomacy by their influence. become sympathetic, fearful, importHnatc or mandatory. The red tape of govern. mental business, however. unWinds slowly and finally the consul general in London or Ottawa, or somewhere else or perhaps the American embas-, makes representations to the foreign and the adventurcr is re- leased and sent home
 Until recently the British govern ment has been promptly releasing all Americans under 21 years on the re- quest of the United States govern ment on the ground that it is illegal for such a person to enlist in a for eign army without the consent of parents. Recently the British govern ment has shown q disposition to re duce the age limit to eighteen when minors become of age in a military sense.
