Paso last week. He reports splendid
snow and rain on the Separ ranch
which he recently purchased. He states
that the growth OF weeds, grass and
filaree are better than for years This
filaree growth is one Of the most won
derful classes of vegetation ON the
western range. II is as good or better
than alfalfa, and grows wild over n
large portion Of the western range.
Mr.. Phillips states that the area COW
cred by this growth Is extending each
year. Southwestern Arizona has had
much of 1t and until two years ago, he
states none Of 1t had appeared around
Lordsburg, N. A., but that 1t was now
growing all over that country and had
extended east from its original To-
cality about 80 miles the past two
years. As II is a wild plant, II fur

GAME FOR CLEVELAND
Speaker Forrnulates Plan of At

Nv Associated Press 10 Every Evening

Cleveland. Oct 4-Tris Speaker, man.
agcr Of the Cleveland Indians had his
team AT League Park this morning for a
conference, during which he formulated
his mode Of attack against the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the coming world series.
Although Speaker would not announce
definitely who his pitching selection
would he in the first game tomorrow, 1t Is
likely that Jim Bagby, who won 81 games
for the Indians this season may be called
upon. Stanley Coveleskie and Walter
Mails both are ready and may be called
upon If Speaker does not think Bagby has
bad sufficient rest.
Should Manager Robinson start one of
his lefthanders in the box against Cleve-
land, Speaker may send his right handed
hitting crew, which worked so successfully
in the Detroit and ST. Louis series into the
lineup. That would mean George Burns
on first, batting in the cleanup position.
with Joe Wood in right field.
About IS per cent Of those fortunate
enough 10 get tickets 10 the games to be
played here were notified of their reserva-
lions today. Special arrangements have
been made in the postoffice to speed up
the delivery Of all letters containing orders
for tickets to the world series.
As a precaution against spectators,
each envelope is stamped with red num-
Der corresponding TO the number of the
application blank inside, records of which
have been filed at the baseball park.
When fan calls for his tickets he must
take the numbered envelope and applica-
tion with him. The application must bear
the same handwriting as the signature TO
the original letter requesting reservations.
