With the Cardinals holding a COM
Portable three game lead, President

tive plans for enlarging Sportsman S

world series is played here.
The park, which was enlarged last
Spring, now has seating capacity of
33,S63. Breadon gave no intimation
as to where the added seats would
be placed.
Breadon announced that only two
tickets per game would be allotted to
other than season box holders.
I'VE will take care Of our regular
box holders first" Breadon said. "Af.
ter that we will allot two tickets to
each other applicant we are able to
care for. 1t must be remembered that
seats must be set aside for Commits
sioner Lands and Presidents Heydler
and Johnson.
LAS in the past box seats for the
world series will be $3.50 each and
the reserved seats $3.50.
I'VE have received a great many
applications to date. However. as
fast as we can we were returning
these checks. Any applications sent
IN before an official announcement is
made that they are being accepted
will he treated in this manner"
Under an agreement reached by the
major league officials last season. the
first two games of the 1926 world
series will be played in the American
League championship city. probably

In the Presidents Cup race, which

Horace T.. Dodges boats from Detroit.
Sara de Soto has been reported ship
ped and is expected to arrive before
the end of the week.
Two local sportsmen also are cast
ing an envious eye on the trophy Tor
which the regatta is named. They
are w. G. Goodman, who will enter

After signing her contract with
Charles c. Pyle to oppose Suzanne

in America, Miss Browne expressed
the hope that she would not be barred
from amateur golf
Among officials of the United States

these athletes as far as golf is con-

Miss Browne said she had been
given conflicting opinions about her
status in golf.

He did not have much to do afield and
was not so impressive at bat. But the
game was played under conditions
that precluded a fair test of a dia-
mond athletes ability.
The Tuscarawas River that flows
along the Massillon ball park had over
flowed it's banks, and as result
practically all Of left and center fields
were under water. That necessitated
a ground rule that turned into one
base knocks all drives into the young
lakes. AS a result many lofts that
would easily have been handled by
the outfielders under ordinary cir
cumstances became singles.
Mats Sew Up Game Early.
The Nationals sewed up the game
early, clustering a bunch Of these
ground-rule singles in the third in
ming when they tailed six times. In
this frame they drove from the slab
the young righthand pitcher who had
started for the Agathon club, but they
did little against the southpaw who
succeeded him.
Bill Morrell began the flinging for
the Nationals. After five innings he
gave way to Sam Rice. The veteran
outfielder hurled a couple of rounds,
then Nick Altrock took fling at
slabbing. Al Schacht adorned the
slab for the last frame.
Nick had played first base for a
couple of innings before going to the
hill, and while Schacht pitched he did
the umpiring behind the bat.
