UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, Oct. Fifty thousand dis
tinct bellows of rage and disappoint-
Dlent blended today with the signs Of
several hundred ticket scalpers in the
mightiest worlds series ticket roar
Chicago ever heard.
Today was distribution day at Com
iskey perk. Seventeen thousand per-
sons have been favored with orders for
reserved seats to the world SERIES
About $4,000 others have been advised
to begin standing in line right now to
wait for general admission teboards
Scalpers have no tickets-as yet
They are advising patrons to come
back little later. They think maybe
they'll have a few seats for sale then.
Prices range from almost any price
save that printed on them to almost
any price.
scALPERs FACE JAIL.
OF the several hundred known to be
advertising that they will have tickets
119 stand a chance of making the &C
quaintance of a jail's interior. That
many will be refused tickets when
they present their orders. If they can
sprove their right they will get the
aickets-and q new shadow. Detectives
are going to have their eyes on that
bunch from now right on.
The weather man is getting some
smoke on the fast one. Weeps that
would have done credit to most any
picnic have been turned on here but
doday saw the end of It as the Giants
and Cubs planned to stage an alleged
thriller at Charley Weegmons north
side park. Good weather is now being
promised right up to the opening of
the series.
/ LITTLE NOTICE OF GIANTS.
The Giants are getting very little
attention in Chicago. ThereIl be a lot
of folks out to seee tn game this after
noon. but Chicago's heart and the
heart OF it's town fpll of visitors is
planted with the White Sox. Where
the American league club goes there
will be the fans. The Giants are being
treated just now as a team that gives
the White Sox an opportunity to show
their class.
Clarence Rowland is somewhat dis
appointed today, for he expected real
benefit to come from the scheduled
exhibition clash between Sox and In
dams. The weather made it impos-
sible and the practice was lost. How
Comiskey Parks clubhouse and held
long skull practice. Eddie Cicotte.
Eddie Collins and Kid Gleason. the
three Musketeers who were at Phila-
delphia, did the talking. The rest
listened. 1t was probably more spy ex-
petitions would be sent out to watch
the Giants in action against the club
The Sox reported early at the club
house for another rally round the
round table.
VERY LITTLE BETTING.
Betting is practically nil in Chi
cago. Big gamblers are holding off
Bets that ar being made are coming
from the supporters or the teams dig
ging out the savings bank book for the
sake of sentiment and civic pride. The
Eeries is regarded by the wise ones as
$3.50 proposition with an element of
luck too pronounced to allow heavy
betting.
Where betting is being done to any
extent, odds are being -deryandeS with
the White Sox on the short end at 6 to
g.
Betting on this series-in Chicago
ut least-probably will be lighter than
on any series for years. No pronounc-
ed advantage is given either club by
the supposedly wise dopesters" among
the gamblers
