FANS MILD NOW IN COMPARISON.

Baseball as played now is bed of roses compared with the condi- tions that governed the national pastime twenty years ago, according to Jack Ryan, veteran scout and coach, who caught for the Brook lyns in the distant past. He was referring in particular to the way the players are treated by the public when away from home, and he related an anecdote of game which Boston played in Bal timore twenty years ago. Bib Jack Stivets was pitching | for Boston. Baltimore was starting to hit him hard, and Ryan was di- rected to warm up Kid Nichols. In those days the bull pen was not in a corner of the field, in full view of all the spectators. Tn Baltimore the warming-up pen | was between the grandstand and bleachers and behind gib gates that opened on the field No sooner had Nichols and Ryan left the field and each was surrounded by ten or twelve men.
 What do youse tink yer goin' to 1 do?" asked burly oyster shucker of Ryan.

 "Youse tinks yer goin' to warm up." said the ruffian. "I sez yer not goin' to warm up until I sez yer kin

 Ban Johnson, czav of the Arneri- can League announces that there was little doubt but that the bln2 ribbon of baseball events would be- sin on that date all in that city.
 In such an event the teams would get in a Sunday game before what will undoubtedly be the greatest crowd that ever witnessed base ball game in the United States.
 Everything is being done to pop ularize this world series. Popular prices are to prevail Comiskey Park in Chicago will furnish 1000 bleacher seats at 50 cents, 5000 pavilion seats at $1 and over 30,- |000 grand stand seats at $1.50. Mail orders are being sidetracked for local orders, both in Chicago and New York, it being the inten- tion of both Comiskey, of Chicago, and Hampstead, of New York, to make it home series.
 Never before in the history of world series have the two big cities of the United States met in such an event It is the ideal condition from the standpoint of both cities, for the Giants hold supreme command of baseball sympathies in Gotham, while Charlie Comiskey, the grand old man of baseball, and his White Soy have always been best loved by Chicago fans.
