the clubs should not reserve fhefr
upper stands and as result there
will be some 10000 unreserNcd seats
at the sta alum and about 10000 at
the Polo Grounds placed on sale the
day OF the game at $3.50 each. The
fans were appriSed of this in advance
and the scalrers are expected to
suffer as result.
OF the pre-series developments the
most noteworthy, as we see it. was
the announcement by Col. Rupert
of the signing of Huggins to manage
the Yankees again next year. The
dissension that so handicapped the
team in 1922 and the year before
generally has been attributed to the
fact that Ruppert's then half owner.
Col. Huston, was antagonistic to
Higgins, a condition which encourag-
ed some of the short-sighted players
to dispute the authority of the pilot.
Ruppert's latest move. the act of
an astute business man. has put the
seal of solidity on the authority
welded by Huggins this year and to
which the wonderfully improved
morale of the team must be attribut-
ed. The Yankees, from Babe Ruth
down to the bat boy. know In ad-
vance that the man they are taking
orders from this week will be their
boss again next season. There will
be no one cunning for the mite
manager this fall
