CHICAGO CROWD DID
NOT FILL THE PARK
BY Associated Press


Chicago, October 3.-Twelve alleged
ticket scalpers were arrested In down
town hotel Hobbies and at the Comiskey
park today accused of selling seats to
the worlds game at a profit as high as
500 per cent. The arrests were made
by internal revenue agents and their
deputies.
One man arrested was said to haze
a block of tickets which cost him $40 so
and on which he realized $3.50. Specu-
lators thronged the hotel Hobbies dur
ing the morning, selling box seats for
three games with face value of $3.50 for
prices ranging from $40 to SIS. Half an
hour before the contest, however, the
spectators appeared to be anxious to
sell their wares at any price. Some
sold at loss.
The crowd at the game was somewhat
of a disappointment, as there were sew
eral hundred vacant seats in the bleach
ers and pavilion. The official attendance
of 29,126 was 1000 to 5000 below the seating
capacity of the park.
