Day after day, the minimized
ranks Of the Independents have
practiced faithfully to condition
their physiQues for matching them
with none other than the Staleys,
grimly waiting the hour when they
shall take the field against the
Starchmen to win or lose their one
big chance. Six regulars have been
unable to leave their respective

tice.

GREAT INFLUX OF FANS IS LIKELY

Betting today centered chiefly on
even money, although there are
many wagers that yield Independ-
emit supporters the privilege of odds
at 1877, rs and 5-3. The gradual
success of the Staley outfit is the
underlying topic Of discussion in
betting circles. Givers Of odds be-
lieve that the Independents cannot
come back and many have wagered
all their available cash to support
such a belief.
Ticket speculation, which was at
tempted earlier In the week, seems
to have been utterly suppressed,
for no such complaints have been
received by Manager Flanagan and
his assistants. However. the al
legged specs" might be waiting to
ply their trade at the last moment
before the game. II this proves
true. the fans should remember that
tickets bought from spectators will
be revoked at the park and every
possible attempt matte to arrest and
convict the guilty parties.
