OVER SERIES
Lucky Fans Get Tickets, In
lucky Ones Curse New
York Magnates.
by SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The worlds
widest series is now passing through
the old familiar preliminary phases.
This morning the happy fans are re-
ceiving their tickets through the mails.
and the unlucky ones are cursing the
baseball magnates and hoping the leg
islature passes a law prohibiting any
more world series in New York.
The players are taking their final
practice at the Polo Grounds-the Yam.
KEGS thia morning and the Giants this
afternoon. The Yanks are brushing UP
their travelling uniforms for use tornor'
row when they appear for the first
time in New York as visiting" team.
Lands Besieged.
Down at the Commodore Hotel.
Judge X. NJ. lands is holding infor.
NAL court as the various major and
minor league club owners pay their re-
spects to him and call for their tickets.
Garry Hermann is there. too. THIS
time Garry is Just a club owner. In
other years he has been chairman Of
the National Baseball Commission,
boss OF the world series and prince rf
entertainers. He is now reduced to en-
tertaining. He can certainly do that.
There will he nearly 500 reporters.
Journalists. cartoonists and telegraph
operators in the enlarged press box TO-
morrow afternoon. At least that many
more applicants were turned down.
These will be the only complimentary
tickets.
The hotels are doing a brisk bust
ness, despite the fact that compare
lively few out-of-town people could
be assured of reservations for the
games.
Nice Melon, To Cut.
The big series, from all indication
promises to be gatherings affair"
Both teams will have their fighting
clothes on. Victory means something
between $4,000 and $1,000 a piece for
the winning players, and both are IA
miliar with the Polo Grounds. so Meth
err will have an edge in this respect.
Also, the rivals will be playing to
home crowds. and each will have
a world OF sport.
McGraw has also been partial to the
smuggling game. The hit-and-run Is
his favorite meth cd of attack. but he can
mix 'em uD when the occasion arises.
The science Of smuggling, incidentally is
second nature with the Yankees and
players like Ruth, Pack, Meusel and
Pipp are big stumbling blocks for any
pitcher to face. Yet you never can
judge what a player will do in a
world series b. what he has done
during the regular season. More often
some comparatively obscure player
turns up as q batting hero. So, no
matter what way you turn in sizing
up the rival, a stonewall of uncer-
tainty confronts you.
