CINCINNATI CHANGES
 PLANS FOR LOTTERY
Original Plan for the Distribution of
 Seats Would Make Club Liable
to Prosecution.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 1.-The plan for distribution of the Worlds Series baseball reserved seat tickets in Cincinnati, if the Reds are partici- pants, was slightly amended yes- terday.
 Under the original plan of allotting the tickets through the lottery system of drawing, as announced, the CiT- cinnati club officials had come slight ly within the scope of the federal law as it relates to tickets or prizes of chance. The necessity for the changes became known yesterday when August Hermann, president of the Cincinnati club, was summoned to the Federal building by First Assistant United States District Attorney James Clark and Post Office Inspector Morgan GrisWold, who explained to him just what was wrong under the law with the original plan.
 The officials pointed out what alterat tions would have to be made, which MT. Hermann announced would be attended to at once.
 Under the change which MT. Herr mann promised to make everything will be all right said Assistant Dis trict Attorney Clark.
 Everything has been satisfactorily arranged,' MT Hermann said ''There is ample time to make the changes in the clubs plans.'

AUDACIOUS TAKES
 PERSHING HANDICAP
NJ. l.. Schwartz's Horse Takes Honors in Belmont Park Races, Held in
 Honor of A. E, F. Leader.

New York, Sept. 11.-Racing paid tribute to General Pershing at Bel mont Park yesterday with the run ming of the Pershing Handicap, named in honor of the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, as the feature of the card, and holi- day crowd of more than 1500O saw M. l.. Schwartz's Audacious capture the event from Edward Arlington $ Questionnaire and R. H. McC. Potters Blairgowrie, which finished second and third, respectively.
 Audacious ran in his best form and justified his victory over Valor and Hollister on Monday, for yesterday he was obliged to carry an additional 12 pounds over the mile route, and han died the weight skillfully against q field of good horses. He was one of the several well-played favorites which kept faith with his packers.
 Six starters went to the post in the Pershing Handicap and after they had been sent away with a very bad start Lads Love took the lead for a furlong g and set a fast pace. But Audacious was sent into the lead before reaching the first turn and, once there, took command of the situation and was never in any real danger of being overtaken Rounding the turn, Auda = cious drew away from Ticklish, which had been following the pace. Questionnaire did not show his real speed until he reached the stretch. where McAtee attempted to catch the leader. Buxton, on Audacious, had only to nudge his mount and Auda- cious again drew away from his rival.

Cards Beat Robins.

4St. Louis, Sept. list. Louis pound Al Mamaux for six runs in the third ming yesterday and won a loosely &ayed game from Brooklyn by a lore of Il to 8. The game was so 7 3pll won, in the opinion of Branch
 Eckey, that he ordered out two re- y uit pitchers. Then he ordered them
 ght back again, for the Robins fell
 bon the fedglings and batted them
 orn the box. Both teams tallied an
 len dozen hits.
 St. Louis began the bonn bardment of
 amaux after two were out in the [ird. A double, four hits that ranged om puny bunts to beat-outs, two Ihsses and a balk, accounted for the lx-run crash. Mollwitz, the second 1 an up in the inning, ended the ava knche by being tossed out at first, on ! $ second appearance of the rally. St. Louis kept pounding Mamaux, hd added three more runs in the next ming. Lavan escaped in a remark |ble manner after an attempt had ben made to run him down between kcond and third in this inning. Led by Olson, the entire Brooklyn lam took a hand in playing at leap log with the agile Lavan, and to the |mazement of all, he finally wriggled trough the whole pack and reached hird in safety.

On the face of the dope Sharkey has an excellent chance to annex the title from Herman, when the two bantams meet.

HOME RUNS TAKE
 TWO FROM TANKS
Cleveland Gets Both Games . Caldwell Pitches We'll

New York, Sept. 11.--A few days ago the Yankees were fighting for higher place; now their fight is to stay in the first division. They have been sinking fast this week, sink ing on the fragile raft of weak hitA ting. They were beaten twice by the Clevelands yesterday and before a cosmopolitan crowd of 18,OO0. many or whom had hurried up from the parade. The scores were to 0 for the first game, to for the second.
 Ii no more celerity of decision when 1t IS of vital importance to swing at the ball is shown ordinarily than was shown by Muddy Ruel in the last inning of the second game, the Yan- kees won't hold on to their berth in the first division. With two on bases, two out and a count of two and two on him, Ruel let a perfect strike slightly above the knee, straight, low ball, sift by. and that act of passvtty smeared the last chance of the Yankees to win game and closed the afternoons two-part en- tertainment. {. Joe Harris, late of the A. E. F., hit home run into the left field stand in the first inning of the first game and with two out. There was a man on fire at the time, one who had been passed by Mays. but woh lan- guiShed on base until Harris came along. Passes and Harris were fatal to Mays. He passed Chapman in the sixth inning, and on a sacrifice By Speaker and two base hit by Harris Chapman threaded his way home
 The Yankees had just two men on bases, and neither ever reached sec- ond. Hannah was passed with two out in the sixth inning, and Baker singled in the seventh with out out Gardners fielding helped in the one hit restriction. Gardner killed hits for Bodie and Hannah by grabbing grounders which were skipping be- tween him and the bag. Peck's field ing gave gloss to both games, and he accepted the multiplicity of his ease of effort.
 Tanks Score at Both Ends. .. The Yankees scored in the first and ] last innings of the second game. TRty made a run in the first inning on Peck's "two-bagger, which, would have but a triple but for Speakers speed and grab on the first bound, and | Pipp's long single, also to Speaker 1 Pipp reached third on the throw in i and Thomas miss of it, but Pratt flied l to Smith and left him there. r.a l It was the sixth inning before the l Clevelands made more than surface l scratches on Quinn's pitching.

Gerard said he had evidence to prove
the crime.
Arthur William Pratt, of Dariea,
Conn, who tried to sell Coppola's car
in New York the day after the dis
appearance, was arraigned in the York
vile Court yesterday. On the applica
tion of Albert Unger, Deputy Assistant
District Attorney, Pratt's bail was in
creased from $1,000 to $4,000 and the

law, and the unannounced signing
caused little confusion. Although it
was not until l o'clock yesterday after
noon that Collector Edwards was given
official word that the new tax was in
force. he had given orders promulgating
it soon after the office on the sixth
floor of the Customs House opened yes
terday morning.
Revenue stamps of the old issue had
been sold for about fifteen minutes,
when news of the signing was received
unofficlally, and the sale was stopped i'm
medlately. Shortly afterwards stamps
which had BEEN changed to meet the
needs of the new law were being is
sued.
Bartenders and cafe managers did
other things yesterday besides extract
additional nicRels and dimes from GUS
toners. Between drinks, they counted
bottles, measured stock in bulk, and
took a careful Inventory of all the
beverage spirits f'their possession. The
law requires such stock-taking within
a day after the passage of the new law.
An official of the Collectors office
estimated that the new tax would be
ABOUT $500 gallon more than before
on distilled spirits, sold as beverage.
tie declared that between eighty nd
elghty-elght drinks are obtained from
each gallon. Taking the more liberal
computation, an increase of five cents
a drink would add $40, or S1.2O above
the tax.
Some of the saloonists who added ten
cents to each drink are thus able to
get an increased income of $3.50 from
each gallon. After the government tax
