CHICAGO. Sept. 30.-Despite all
precautions many tickets for the world
series games to be played in Chicago
have fallen into hands of scalpers it
was learned today.
Scalpers were able to obtain the
coveted ducats by paying different per-
sons SO much for every ticket re-
quested and received. Forty agents
from the United States government
revenue office today were assigned to
see that scalpers complied with the
federal laws. Fifty percent war tax

previous to this year, they failed. And
they all sang the same song, too much

many managers on the board of direc-

said that Pat Moran, when he was Of

1t may be interesting to scan the
list of managers who have tried their

are: "Cy" Keck, 1876 and 1877; j. M.

corners were Bobby Matthews, pitcher,
n. w. Hicks, catcher, Ed Cuthbert,
Lipman Pike and Bob Addy. In 1878
the team changed hands and was
taken over by j. w. M. Neff. In 1880
the team was expelled from the league
for allowing liquor to be sold on the
grounds. In 1890 the club was re-
turned to the league under the man
agement of Tom Lotus In 1891 the
club was taken over by John T..
Brush. In 1903 Brush disposed of his
holding to George B. Cox, julius and
Max Fleischman and August Herr
mann. The latter was made president
and has acted in that capacity ever
since.
The Fleischman interests in the club
changed hands last year and were
taken over by eastern capital.

finished on every rung of the league

the disease took 6,3O4,32O hogs worth
$67697 ,4Gl.
Department experiments show that
timeliness in vaccinating hogs against
cholera is all important. When ex-
posed hogs We're vaccinated, while still
apparently healthy, losses amounted to
only I per cent, but when vaccination
was deferred until the animals showed
external signs Of sickness, losses av-
eraged nearly % per cent This shows
that. the man who puts off the preven-
tative treatment until the hogs are
sick with cholera stands only about
one chance in seven Of preventing
fatal results. 1t is important, also,
to maintain hog yards and barns in
clean and sanitary condition.

NEW YORK, Dec. CA shipment of
clothing, shoes, dry goods and food
stuffs, valued at 100000, will be sent

ISOLATION for the Relief of Polish War
Victims announced here.
According to Mr.. Rainke, more than
81 ,000, 900 worth of merchandise has al
ready been sent abroad through his or
ganization, which provides for marine,
fire and theft insurance on all cargoes.
The goods are shipped via the SlaVon-
ian Trading corporation which was or
ganized by Polish Americans who wish
to send relief to their destitute relatives
in Poland
Word was received at the offices Of
the American Association for the Re-
lief of Polish War Victims, % Park row,
that the legation of Poland is endeav-
oring to facilitate reforwrading Of ship
ments from the port of landing into the
interior of that country without dis
elimination.
The goods which are to leave here on
the S. S. Shortsville are consigned TO
the American relief administration at
Danzig, which sees to II that the ne
cessities sent there by Americans reach
their proper destination.
