800, DividedInto Two Squads,
Will Patrol Areas Inside
and Outside Park.
PRESIDENT MAY SEE
FIRST CONTEST HERE
Spectators Find Going Rough as
Eynon Remains Firm in
Stand on Tickets.

Three hundred policeman, divided
into two squads of $50 each, one in
side the park and the other outside,
will be assigned to police the world
series crowds here Thursday, Friday
and probably Saturday, it was an
ncunced yesterday by Inspector B. A.
Lamb, chief Of the Traffic Bureau.
Inspector Lamb said a wide area
about the park would be blocked of
and no parking allowed, while police
men would be placed at every strategic
corner to see that traffic to and from
the game moves smoothly and quickly.
Taxicab stands will be established at
many pcints near the park, and all
will be kept filled, police said. as the
fans start leaving the park.
Try Out Plan Today.
Today's game, the last league game
of the season, which is expected to
draw a large crowd, is to be used by
Inspector Thaddeus R. Bean, in charge
of traffic details for the series, as
yardstick for measuring the world
series crowds. Police will be stationed
at strategic points to make recon-
mendations fer the final general plan of
handling traffic.
Inside the park $50 policemen will
be stationed throughout the stadium to
maintain order and prevent jamming
at any of the entrance ramps. There
also will be a detail on the playing
field, in close to the field boxes, to keep
spectators off the field and to clear the
way for distinguished guests, including
President Roosevelt, who has expressed
the intention of attending one or more
Of the local games.
1t is thought likely the President will
attend the first Washington game. If
| he attends, his car, as was done in
the opening game of the season, will be
brought directly onto the playing field,
and the President will enter the presi-
dental box along a ramp directly in
front of it.
Yesterday and today seats for single
games as we'll as in blocks of three
| games, as originally decreed by league
officials, were being sold at the. ticket
Offices. Authority for the sale OF single
game tickets was given Friday by Com
missioner K. M. Lands, and sale of
them was started yesterday.
The tickets continued yesterday to
move slowly, only small knots of pur-
chasers appearing at the windows.
Standing room seats were moving at the
curate check could be had on the
sale of pavilion and the few remaining
grandstand seats.
However, with yesterday a Govern
ment pay day. it was expected the sale
today would increase heavily, and con-
tinue heavy until the opening Wash
ington game on Thursday.
Meanwhile, few tickets were seep-
ing into the hands of spectators who
had established Offices on downtown
Fourteenth street and on Georgia
avenue near the ball park. They re-
ported that they have stock in trade"
now and expect to have more before
the games here start.
Eynon Stands Firm.
However, E. B. Eynon, secretary of
the Washington club, clung to his de-
termination not to honor tickets bear
ing the stamping which spectators
tickets must bear showing that the
internal revenue tax has been paid on
the overcharge. The spectators op-
crate within the law in that they must
be licensed as ticket sellers and must
make return and pay 10 per cent of
the amount they charge over and above
the ball park price of the tickets. The
amount charged by the club officials
at the park includes the internal rev.
enue tax.
1neSe tlcKetS, EynOn nOlQS, are
contract between the ball club and the
purchaser, and if they are sold by the
purchaser, become void. He said every
effort would be made to learn whether
any purchasers are selling their tickets,
and if any names are secured in this
connection they will be turned over to
the Internal Revenue Bureau for prose-
cution for selling tickets without an in
ternal revenue license
But spectators continued to contend
they have "been advised" that SO long
as they work under the various licenses
required by the Federal and District
governments, and make the proper re-
turn on the amount of overcharge on
the tickets, and so long as the tickets
themselves bear the necessary stamping
showing that the overcharge tax has
been paid, they must be honored by
the ball club officials
