|SCALPERSPLAN
FOR Big SALES
Chicago Officials to Cooper
ate With Police Depart
ment to Prevent 1t

Chicago. Oct. 3.-With the arrival
of the first out-of-town contingent
for the worlds series the prices of
tickets for the three Chicago games
were sent skyward by scaIpers, who
insist they will be able to supply pur-
chasers who failed to get seats
through the regular channels.
Although the reserved seat tickets
and the box seats will not be dis
tributed to purchasers until Thursday
scalpers are accepting deposits on
orders and are asking $50 for a So
box seat for three games and $35 for
stand seats which sold for $3.50 each.
What system the spectators are US
ing In their attempts to obtain tickets
is puzzling officials of the Chicago
Americans, as all tickets are regis
tered and numbered, and the appli-
cants will be obliged to call person
ally for their allotment. A Chicagoan
who baked at the prices demanded
by scalpers inserted an advertise
ment in newspaper yesterday, Of
fering $50 for two grandstand seats
for the first two games.
Hot After ScaIpers
Samuel A. Ettelson. corporation
COUNSEL joined the night with PreSi-
dent Comiskey. of the Chicago club
against scalping. Ettelson will con-
fer with Chief of Police Schuettler
for the purpose of enlisting the aid
of the police.
We are going after the scalpers
hard" Ettelson said. There will be
complete cooperation between the
city and the management of the
SERIES"
Purchasers of the $4,000 bleacher
and pavilion seats, which will be
placed on sale Saturday, will be
obliged to pass through a long wire
cage entering the park Immediately
after buying tickets. There will be
no turning back. The reason for this
is to prevent purchasers from getting
tickets and then mingling in the
crowds to resell them.
Formal warning has been issued of
the existence of plot to counterfeit
tickets for use by the scalpers and
that steps have been taken to mark
the original pasteboards, so they may
be identified.

STARS IN WORLDS SERIES
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BASEBALL CAREER
DUFFY" LEWIS
BY w. II. HOFFER
ARNOLD c. GANDIL


To paraphrase Raymond
Hitchcock's old song, "Ain't it
funny what a difference just
a few years make?"
On September 2, 1910,
"Chick" Gandil bid the White
SoX a sad farewell. He had been
tried, found wanting in base
ball sense and was given the or
der of the tin can. After trying
him out in n games, he had hit
only .193 and the management,
scribes and populace of the
Windy City agreed that he
wouldn't do.
And now, seven years later, to
the month, these same Chicago
ballyard fanatics are hailing
Gandil as the guy who made the
infield, which made the club,
which copped the old pennant.
Excuse Chick" for grinning,
fans. He just can't help it. 1t
took seven years for the point
of the joke to arrive and Gan
dill just has to smile and every
thing.
Gandil, who has had a varied
baseball experience, is a rafting
good natural ball player and
never should have allowed HIM
self to get out of the major lea
que after his first trial. He has
been a trifle hard to manage and
his shifting from one club to an
other was probably his own
fault. But 1t looks as if Chick"
is in the league to stay for a
while now as he is putting every
thing he has into his play and
showing how good a first sacker
he can be.
His diamond start began away
down south in Amarillo, Texas,
where he played semipro ball, in
1906. Shreveport of the Texas
League paid him his first real
money for playing in 1908.
There he had a batting average
of .269 in 116 games. The st.
Louis Browns then acquired him
but turned him back to Shreve-
port. Chick" kicked over the
traces and refused to report and
was then sent to Sacramento.
Here, in 206 games be played a
nice fielding game at first base
and hit .2S2.
After the White Sox released
him to Montreal, Gandil began
showing his class. He nit over
800 in 1911 and 1912 and Clark
Griffith bought him for Wash
ington in midseason. After two
great seasons with the Senator's,
for whom he hit .305 and .30S in
1912 and 1913, he slumped and
Griffith released him to Cleve-
land, who later sold him to Chi
cago.
Gandil is a natural athlete. He
is 6 feet l II inches tall, weighs
100 pounds, and is a long hitter.
He has hit around .275 this sea-
son and played a nervy, heady
game at first base, rounding out
the SoX infield nicely.
"Chick" was born in st. Paul,
Minn., January 10, 1889.

and each frequently hits for extrf

WALTER HOLKE
New York Giaptc

Last August, towering young
ster rambled into the big top
from the International League.
McGraw Immediately put him
into the Giants lineup at first
base and the scribes and fans
settled back into their seats and
waited.
Wen see what this birds
got" they piped. 1t wasn't long
before they knew. For Holke
began to slam the pitchers hith-
er and yon and to gobble up the
hot shot around that first cush-
Ion like whirlwind. His tre-
mendous reach and 6 feet 2
inches of height saved many an
error on wild throws for the in
helders and his batting saved
many a game for the pitchers.
And when the dust of the 1915
baseball season had settled, the
record books disclosed a bat
ting mark of .351 for this minor
league recruit
Had Holke made good? Oh,
boy! Ask any Gothamite who
knows foul tip from an UNI
pire, from the mayor down to
the Giants bat boy.
This batting average is doubt
less way above Holke's normal
gait. He looks like good, con-
sistent .290 or 800 hitter. This
season he has been hitting about
.280 but will almost certainly
improve next year.
The ballyard scribes call him
the Hawk, for his ability to
snag wild throws and hits in all
directions around that initial
sack. Holke is a beautiful field
er.
He isn't as fast afoot as Chase
was in his prime by good deal
and he won't ever be able to
beat out bunts the way Daubert
used to, but for all that he's the
best looking first first baseman
who has broken into the majors
in many moons.
Walt was born in st. Louis on
December 25, 1892 and receiv-
ed his first real diamond expert
ence in his home town, playing
with the Trolley League.
In 1912 Peoria signed him and
Holke stole 32 bases and batted
.292. He was later shifted to
Davenport, and from there went
to the Western League. Spokane
of the Northwestern League
bought him in 1912 and the fol-
lowing year he attracted Nc
Graw's attention by batting
.315 in ia games.
Holke was sent to Rochester
for further seasoning and in
1915 and 1916 fairly burned up
the International League with
his great work, fielding sensa-
tionally and hitting .2S2 and
.344, respectively.
This long first baseman is a
turnover hitter, batting equally
well right or left handed. He
has one bad trick at the plate, a
crouch, which McGraw is try
ing to cure him of.
Holke and Gandil are very
nave hit about the same this sea-
'ases. Holke is a trifle faster but
