We want to heartily endorse the
suggestions made in the statement
read by the Newberry pastors from
their pulpits.. It is most timely to
impress upon the people "the idea OF
economy and to make every effort to
conserve the necessaries of life" ;"
Also "that this should be a season
of prayer to God and undivided 10y
clty to all the services of the church
We would be glad to see such reso-
!utions read from the pulpits, of all
cur churches.

For PaSteboardS
BY associated Press


Chicago, Oct 5. - The reserved
seats for the worlds series games at
White SoX Park having been dis
tributed among the lucky applicants,
hundreds of baseball fans planned
to stand in line tonight in order to
have advantageous positions when
the office opens at the park for the
sale of unreserVed seats tomorrow.
The weather predictions for the
opening game tomorrow calls for
fair weather with a slight drop in
temperature. Spectators, who had
promised to have plenty of tickets for
the opening game were busy to-day
making deliveries to a few custom
ers and returning money to others.
Their supply was said to be far less
than the demand.
High Prices Asked
At the first appearance of the
tickets at the office of the brokers,
$50 was asked for one ticket, good
for the three games, for which SIS
was charged at the park. AS the
supply of tickets in their hands be-
came exhausted the scalpers began
to talk of a raise in price, and it
was predicted to-day that the price
might be doubled the amount first
asked before the game is called to-
morrow afternoon.
Much interest to-day centered on
the question of the two pitchers in
the first game. Manager Rowland,
of the White SoX refused to commit
himself, but many have picked Eddie
Cicotte as the probable starter for
the locals. Cicotte worked out yes
terday afternoon and said afterwards
that he was ready to start the big
series at any time.
Ferdinand Schupp, the left handed
star of the New York Giants, is the
most frequently mentioned to open
the series for the visitors. That out
of-town fans are not to see the games
in as great numbers as had been
expected was stated at White SoX
headquarters to-day. Requests for
tickets in large numbers from sew
eral cities had been received but
were turned down or the allotments
cut.
In speaking of the tickets sold in
other cities, Charles A. Comiskey
said that while he had been accused
of sending 5000 tickets out of town,
the fact of the matter was that less
than 500 had been sold to foreign
patrons.
Two sets of box seat tickets, auc-
toned off yesterday by local news
paper for benefit of the soldiers
smoke fund brought S140. The tick
cts We're purchased by two friends
of Mr.. Comiskey who came here
from the Pacific coast to see the
games, only to find that all tickets
had been sold.
The Giants will practice at White
SoX Park this afternoon. They will
be given all the time needed in or
der to become accustomed to light
and shadows peculiar to the park.

YORK RACES ARE
BIG THRHLERS
Few Important Events Go
Over Until Today; Yes
terday's Results

York, Oct with three unfln-
1shed events held over from Wednes-
day, only one race on yesterdays
program of the York County Fair
was carried through to a finish. Two
others were left to be completed to-
day. the 2.21 trot and 2.14 pace. The
crowd on the grandstand and about
the half-mile track was the greatest
which has ever witnessed racing at
a York County Fair. This was made
possible by enlargement of the
grandstand during the past year.
Acme a. made short work of the
2.20 pace, of which four heats had
been run yesterday. The Endicott
entry took two successive heats and
the race. The 2.11 pace, another
hold-over, similarly went to Linwood,
a Johnstown mare. which has done
no better than two seconds on We'd
nesday, in three straight heats. Phil
adelphia came in for honors when r.
j. R., John Toys bay gelding, won
a hard fight for the 2.19 trot. Miss
Fantasy quickly settled any doubts
about the 2.1S pace by taking it in
straight heats. The 2.21 trot and
the 2.14 pace. of which two heats
each were run yesterday, go over as
an addition to the program of get
away day.

have already passed through one or
more of these baseball classics and
of this quartet three will wear the
uniforms of the Giants and one the
colors of the White Sox. Another
popularity is that the veteran ma
terial will cluster between second and
third bases, the initial sack being
guarded by less experienced players.
At first Manager McGraw will place
his reliance in Holke. while the Chi
cago interests will be defended by
Gandil. In years of service and the
knowledge which comes with it. Gam

Four Former State
Leaguers in Series

1t is possible that four former
New York State Leaguers will
figure in the worlds series games
this year. Each team has two.
They are Burns and Zimmer-
man, of the Giants, and Ed Muir
ply and Wolfgang of the Sox.
Burns formerly played with
Utica, Zimmerman went TO
Chicago from Wilkes-Barre;
Wolfgang gained his start when
with Albany and Ed Murphy, as
all local fans know, formerly
wore Scranton togs. At least
three of these players are sure to
hgure in the series which starts
tomorrow. Burns and Zim-
norman are New York regulars,
while Ed Murphy's great ability
as a pinch hitter should compel
Rowland to insert him into tho
lineup.

Chances About Equal

According to their records for the
past season in their respective
leagues, there is little to choose be-
tween them so far as fielding or bat
ting is concerned. Holke has a slight
advantage of the averages in both
these departments, as well as in
stolen bases and double plays. He is
also three years younger than Gandil
but when all is considered it is likely
that the latter's greater experience
will slightly outweigh Holkes speed
Ter footwork. The margin of advan-
tage is so small one way or the other
that so far as forecasts are con-
cerned, the two players may be said
to be equal in offensive and defensive
work.
Two of the best second basemen in
their respective leagues will be op-
posed at the midway sack and the
struggle for honors between Eddie
Collins and Charles Herzog will be
one of the thrilling features of the
series. World series play is no longer
novelty to either. as Collins has
participated in four such conflicts
while a member of the Philadelphia
Athletics and HerzoG has seen service
in three series with the Giants. Both
are noted for their ability to rise to
extreme heights of play at times and
from their keystone position to domi-
nate the work of the entire infield
combinations.

The records of these players are
included with the regulars in the

plays for the purpose of comparison:
