Chicago, Oct 3.-With the arrival
Tuesday night of the first out-of-

Chicago games were sent skyward by
scalpers, who insist they will be able
to supply purchasers who failed to get
seats through the regular channels.
Although the reserved seat tickets
and the box seats will not be distrib-
uted to the fortunate purchasers un-
til Thursday, scalpers are accepting
deposits on orders and are accepting
$50 for SIS box seat, and $35 for seats
which sold for $3.50 each. What sys-
attempt to obtain tickets is puzzling
officials of the Chicago Americans as
all tickets are registered and number
