SCALPERS' TICKETS
 MAY BE DENIED AT WHITE SOX FIELD
Over 100000 Requests for 15,000 Reserved Seats. Reservations Still
 Pour In

Chicago. September 29-Purchasers Of world series tickets from scalpers may be legally denied admission to the games, states Attorney Hoyne an nounced in statement issued tonight. The states attorney explained that he considered persons engaging in ticket speculatlng guilty of conspiracy to ob- tain money by confidence game and perhaps guilty of extortion or conspiracy to extort.
 If such evidence is presented to me officials of the Chicago American league club or by persons who claim to have been defrauded by ticket scaIpers," States Attorney Hoyne said. q shall. if an investigation of the law warrants the guilty persons.
 I have explained to President Com isseky of the Chicago club that he has the complete legal right not to honor tickets sold or resold to the original purchaser for a price in excess of that printed upon the ticket"
 The l5,0G0 reserved seats. for which 100000 applications had been made, will not be distributed to the purcha sers un- til probably two days before the first game of the series, so as to give the scalpers less time in which to tempt the successful applicants with big offers for their seats.
 Although the sale of reserved seats was stopped several days ago, applca- tions continue to pour in from all parts of the country.

Locai racing fans, as well as those throughout the south, Will undoubtedly be surprised to know that Oldfield and CheVloret have been matched for races here. Both have the reputation of being among the most daring and spectacular drivers on the track today and scores of thrills are in store
 Promoter George has been dickering with local officials for the past few weeks, endeavoring to match the two men for series of races here. The match has been hanging fire'' for sev- eral days in advance to the race to be- in New York when Chevrolet gave his consent.
 Two great drivers as Chevrolet and Oldfie,d have never opposed each other on a Birmingham track before. In fact, few noted racers have appeared in the south.
 Both men are veterans on the track. They have won scores of prominent races throughout the country and of late

have frequently opposed each other. Un- avoidably, the past few races which the men have been entered always dwndled down to Oldfield and Chevrolet, the SUI premacy being left to be decided among this pair of noted drivers.
 Promoter George will arrive in Bir- mingham tomorrow morning to begin preparations for the race. Oldfield and Chevrolet are both expected here sev- eral days inadvance to the race to be- come accustomed to the track.
 Few offerings in sportdom can rival d good automobile race. Although no worlds records are likely to be battered here, as the track is not up to the stand ard, and this alone will be huge handi- cap.
 Nevertheless, interest in the race should run high. Both men are exceptionally well known. Their ability to fans who follow the racing game is undisputed and the race will really be treat.
 Future announcements will be made after the arrival of Promoter George. It is expected that three or probably more races will be staged, including 50-mle. 2o-mile and a 10-mile event.

 If the average man will stop to think how far he would walk in the same length of time, he would have some idea of how far Hoppe walks in the course of season of billiards. Hoppe s manager, R. B. Benjamin, claims the champion has walked 5000 miles round a table since he has been champion.

Chicago, September 29-With the close of the major league season less than a week away, Ed Roush, the Cincinnati outfielder, appears to be certain of the National league batting championship.
 Unofficial averages released today give Roush. who is hitting 34S 27 point lead over Roger Hornsby, St. Louis. his nearest rival.
 Members of the New York club. who are getting ready for the worlds se- ries battle with Chicago. continue their effective hitting. Benny Kauff is showing the way to his teammates with .311. Burns follows with 300 and Zimmerman is next with .297. Burns is firmly in possession of league SCOT ing honors, having counted 10l times.
 Carey of Pittsburg. who is leading the base stealers brought his mar gin up to 49. Cravath of Philadelphia clings to home run honors with l2 and Deal of Chicago is topping the sacrifice hitters with 2S Cincinnati retained the lead in team batting with 263. The averages include games of Wednesday.

 Alexander leads the pitchers who have participated in 32 or more games, having won 29 and lost 12
 There apparently is no chance for Iris Speaker, the 1916 batting cham pion, to overcome Ty Cobb's lead in the American league. Averages show the Georgia hitting .37S with Speaker 20 points behind him. Cobb probably will fall short of driving out 250 hits this season, although he already has made 21S.
 Cobb and Chapman of Cleveland are pressing Bobby Roth for the leading base stealing. Roth with 49 has a one point advantage Chapman is firmly in possession of sacrifice hitting honors, with 67. Bush of Detroit retains five-run lead over Cobb in scoring, having counted 109 times. Pipp of New York retains home run honors with nine. Detroit leads in team batting with .257.
