~ H1CAGO, September IL R).-
One of the busiest club offices
of organized base ball locked
~ the door from the inside to-
day, it was so busy. The Chi
cago Cubs were getting ready for the
world series.
Telephones were dead, so far as series
conversation was concerned. The mail
man was the only intermediary between
the Cubs and their ticket-eager public.
The only things that talked were GER
titled and cashiers checks and money
orders. Even the green and golden cur
rency of the Republic was being turned
down.
Those who hope to see one or more
put on the spot" by the ball club, but
it was for the fans own good. The club
had figured out what seemed to it to be
the faireSt method of distribution.
LAS long as six or eight persons can
not sit in one seat at the same time, we
had to find the best possible alterna-
tive" explained President William
Veeck.
How 1t Will Be Done.
This is how it is to be done:
Prices for the Wrigley Field games
will be $3.50 for boxes, $3.50 for grand
stand, So for grandstand standing room
and 81 for bleachers, taxes included.
Tickets will be sold in series of three,
for the first, second and sixth games.
Should the third Chicago game be UNI
necessary, the price paid for that
ticket will be refunded after the series
is over. The only Single-game admis-
sions to be sold will go on sale the days
of the games.
Precautions against ticket scalping
have been taken by q ruling which pro-
vldes that not more than two tickets
snail be sold to one purchaser. With
each application for tickets also the
applicant must sign his name to the
following:
IT agree that any world series ticket
resold by me shall be absolutely void
and that the Chicago National League
CLUB shall refuse admission and shall
take up and cancel the ticket
Get Seats Sight Unseen.
Purchasers will get their seats sight
unseen. Requests for specific locations
will be ignored. Orders will be filled as
drawn by lot.
Tickets will be sent to purchasers by
registered mail about October 2. six
days before the opening of the series.
Checks for untitled orders will be re-
turned at the same time.
ANY order requesting more than two
tickets will be returned to the sender.
as will letters that fail to inclose GER
titled or cashiers checks or money
orders payable too Chicago National
League ball club
Thirty-two thousand ticekts for each
game will be disposed of, and these are
expected 10 be FAR under the demand.

Macks returned the compliment to Mr..
Lyons and Mr.. McKain in the home
half OF the same session in the form OF
seven hits and seven runs. With that
accomplished, Bill Shores and McKain
went through the next eight rounds
without allowing a run.
Having learned at last the trick of
beating the Yanks the ambitions of the
Browns know no limits. The st. Louis
ans made 1t five straight over the Hug
men yesterday and Alvin Crowder
hurled his second successive shut-out
against them. The ex-champions, after
yesterdays rout. owned a record of two
runs against the Browns in the last
As innings.
Boston rallied to shade Detroit by 8
to 2 in 10 innings, scoring six of it's
runs in the last three rounds, and
Washington stopped the Indians by 5
to 2.

and that the former champion has
made ARRANGEMENTS for q conference
on the subject of Schmeling. The only
thing which would be of interest In
such a meeting, Joe thought, would be
the announcement by Dempsey that he
would take Max on himself.
It did not appear to Joe that any
human being could resist she amount
Of money Dempsey could draw ior
fighting again. He admitted tnat the
former titleholder could draw big gate
against any opponent, but he commended
that Jack could draw by far the biggest
gate against Schmeling. I think that
Joe,s idea would be for those concerned
to promote the bout themselves, thus
preventing the necessity Of splitting
with any outsiders.
Meanwhile, inside the Garden some
of the managers of Pauline had gath
cred to see what might be done about
starting the Basque on another ring
tour. They still maintain that If Little
Paul had not been suffering from an
injured arm he would have smacked
Mr.. Schmeling plenty.
Aside from this conversation, Frank
Bruen, vice president Of the Garden,
took time to say that the sale of tickets
for the Loughran-Sharkey encounter
promised to be surprisingly large. He
said that already checks are f1ocking
into the box Office and predicted an
attendance beyond the most rosy esti-
mate. He also agreed with Jack Demp-
sey In saying that he believed 1t would
be whale Of bout.

NEW YORK, September IL R.-
Madison Square Garden reopens for
the indoor boxing season tonight.
At the top of the list comes the meet
ing between DR.. Ludwig Hayman, who
holds the heavyweight championship OF
Germany since the abdication of Max
Schmeling in search of greater honors,
and Tuffy Griffith of Sioux City, Iowa.
Hayman has been campaigning in the
smaller clubs in the United States with
enough success to earn himself the
Garden shot. Griffith likewise has been
successful as a heavyweight, although
his sole appearance in New York as
light-heavy met with disaster at the
hands of James j. Braddock. Both OF
the principals go on the theory that the
man who punches the hardest wins.
The Semi-final brings Ted Sandwina
against Harold Mays Of Bayonne, N. J.,
whose greatest share Of the limelight
came when he was serving as sparring
partner to Gene Tunney. In the third
