PhiDie "Bogs" Camp on Trail to Bleaohers—Moran Plans Stiff Workout Toady.

PHELADBLraiA. Fa., Oct 7.—Thousand* of baseball fans in this city rulMd etg^rlr for their mall thla morning to lwtrn whether thoy had bno fortunate enough to secure reMrratlons for the world'* series championship games between the Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Amerioana, title holders.

JUthough the first game will not be played until tomorrow afternoon and the entrance to the bleachers will not be opened until 10 o'clock on the mojriln* of the game, the lineup for the 7,600 seats in the section, which was b*gun yesterday by several men and boys, wu augmented during the night, and early today was composed of several soore of eager men and numerous •mall boys who hoped to sell their places in line to an advantage.

Former Governor Tener, president or the National league, today expressed satisfaction with ihe plans of the Philadelphia management for the distribution of reserved tickets and declared that he believed more of the regular patrons of tb6 grama had been gfiven ft chance to purchase seats than^at any previous series of the kind in this city. The idea of selling directly to patrons who had ordered by mail, he a*"1, would minimize the possibility of the tickets getting into the hands of speculators.

Manager Moran plans to put his_men through a stiff workout today. They were ordered to report at the grounds early.

Killlfer to Catch?

The question whether Bill Killlfer will set into the series was still In doubt today, that is, as far as the general public was concerned. His lame arm was again examined by New York expert yesterday. If Killlfer cannot go behind the bat tomorrow,1 Moran will be compelled to send In Burns. What difference this will make in the pitching of Alexander is hard to toll. The great twirler has been used to pasting Killifer on the receiving „nd, but Burns has worked well with the Nebraskan in the few games that he has causrht him.

The Boston Red Sox. who end the American league season tn New York today, will arrive here late tonight and will, in consequence, have little time for final practice. The team is reported in trim, with little need of further preparation.

Manager Moi an has invited Manager Carrigan to use the" Phillies' playing field whenever he wants to. The American leapue title holders may look oveT the grounds for a little while tomorrow morning and then go to Shibe park, the home of the Athletics, a few blocks away,, for a real final workout

RED SOX HURLERS FIT

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The new American league champions had a fine workout yesterday and defeated New York in both sections of a doubleheader. the scores being 2 to 0 and 4 to 2. Manager Carrigan worked out four of his leading pitchers in the first game, when Shore, Leonard, Wood and Mays held the New Yorks to three hits and strucgk out twelve men.

Suit Against Heilbroner

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 7.—William E. Esslck has started suit against Wheeling Athletic association and Louis Heilbroner, president of Central league, to recover $350. It is set out that plaintiff and four others were entitled to services of several baseball players and defendant club purchased the services of the players agreeing to pay $1,000 to plaintiff, money to be paid to th« league president. The money never had been ipiald, Essick says, and he wants $350, his share of $1,600, to be taken from the $2,000 guarantee the Wheeling club has posted with Heilbroner.

BOSTON "BUGS" BEGIN

"Royal Rooters," 400 Strong, Take Special Train to Philaedlphia —Seat Sale Completed.

BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7—Thousands of persons learned today that they had been successful in their applications for grandstand or pavilion reservations for the world's series baseball games to be played at Braves field, beginning Monday. After several days and nights of work, with only snatches of sleep, President Joseph J. Lannin, of the Boston Americans, and an augmented office staff put the lust of the notices of reservations in the postofflce today. There were about ten thousand, covering twenty-five thousand seats for each of three games.

Under the system, which has been in effect at world's series games here in recent years, applicants will present their notifications and money at the box offices and receive their tickets. All reservations not called for by 6 p. m. of the day preceding the first game in this city will be disposed of at public sale, to start at 9 o'clock on the morning of the game.

The movement of Red Sox supporters to Philadelphia began today. Trains carried crowded cars. The "Royal Rooters," numbering four, hundred, had chartered a special train. Accompanying them was a band and twenty singers, who will hearten the Red So* on the foreign field with the strains, "Tessie," Boston's world's series song. They carried a banner, inscribed: "We have yet to follow a loser Red Sox, world champions for 1916."

CARDS AND BROWNS TIE

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 7.—By booting the ball around yesterday in the second game of the fall series, at Sportsman's park, the Cardinals managed to force the Browns to accept a 3 to 3 tie in a dozen innings. Leon Ames should have won by a shut out in nine. So successful were Huggins* fielders during the afternoon that they accumulated a total of six errors, and some of the scorers tabbed up a couple more. The Browns helped along by some foolish work on the bases. McCabe and Hamilton worked for the Browns.

Cubs Crumble Before Sox, 9-5

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—Chicago's time and toll worn Cubs crumbled before the crushing attack of Chicago's new high power White Sox in the first combat of the city series at Comiskey ipiark yesterday, when the new high geared machine came from behind in the closing rounds, and, overcoming a commanding lead, won the game in deoisive fashion. The final count was 9 to 5,

Until Eddie Collins struck the decisive blow in the seventh round the old west aide machine had rumbled along in front. Eddie's blow was in the form of a three t-ase drive to the fence in left center, and it was the first time In the contest that the Sox got up speed. That blow tied the score, and once the south side machine had hit its stride it finished away out in front, for everybody else started hitting 'em to the fence.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—The famous championship belt presented to John L. Sullivan by admiring friends in 1887, and later left by him in Chicago as security for a $4,000 loan, is again in the possession of the veteran heavyweight pugilist, it became known today.

Sullivan redeemed it from a jewelry firm yesterday, paying $5,300. The celebrated trophy is made up of 350 diamonds, and fourteen pounds O'f gold. The former champion regarded the belt as his most cherished possession until shortly after he was defeated by Corbett In New Orleans in 1S92.

RED SOX IN WALK

That's Opinion of "Cy" Pfirman, Who Gives Reasons for Such a World's Series Outcome

By "Cy" Pfirman. t..

A great many fans have asked my opinion regarding the world's series, and I have told them all I can See is the Red Sox. Herewith are a few reasons. The Red Sox, we all know, have six pitchers, any one of whom should make the Phillies hustle. I think Boston will use Foster tn the opening game, and, of course, Alexander will be hie opponent on the firing line. I also think this will be the hardest battle of the series, and if the Phils should happen to lose this one, it is "good night" world's series as far as Philadelphia is concerned. Beat Alex in the opener and I,look to see Boston take the next three games, making a clean sweep of the series.

In comparing the two clubs, Boston appears to have the edge. Take the outfield, for instance. The Sox have Hooper, Lewis and Speaker, all of whom have gone through one title scrap, and, naturally, this gives them the advantage over Cravath, Paskert and Becker, who is the utility man for the National leaguers. In Whltted, however, the Phillies have a player who has gone through a world's series and to who Manager Pat Moran gives as much credit for the success of his club as he does to Alexander the great. And figuring Whitted the Phillies' best, I can't see the Philadelphia outfield, as compared with that of Boston.

HANOVER EXPECIEDTO CI POLY HARD GAME

Downstate Eleven Held to Be Dangerous—Gilbert Gives Team New Plays.

On Saturday at Rose field the Engineers will meet a tartar in the sturdy, heavy, fast and shifty Hanover college team. The Hanover squad numbers 35 this season and the best team that has represented that school in years is the result of some hard work on the part of its new coach. I

The particular star of the Hanover1 team is a 195 pound fullback who has! the reputation or gaining every time he carries the ball.

The men of Rose realize the tough customer they will face Saturday may win and therefore are practicing early and late this week to keep their slate clean. However, the P.ose team will be somewhat weaker than last Saturday due to minor injuries to Trimble', Barnes and Kingery. New plays and formations have teen handed out this week bv Coach Gilbert and a more open game may be expected than the one of last Saturday.

Some of the squad who have not yet had an opportunity to show their ability have been developing fast this week and in Saturday's tussle may be able to displace some of the so-called regulars.

These extra players have formed themselves *nto a team called the "Buzzards" and they take particular delight in "roughing up" the regulars. Those

TURRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

May Pitch Opener Against Phillies

Now we will take the Infield. The Red Sox KaVe'Ho6nt*St at Brst, while the Phillies have Luderus. The latter has it on Hobby, a former Central leaguer, by the by, when it comes to hitting, but in fielding and base running Hoblitzel has it on the Phillie first sacker. There is no question, in my mind, but that Barry has it all over Niehoff at second, while I figure Scott on a par with Bancroft, of the Phillies, especially when it comes to the fielding end. With Byrne out of the game, the Sox have the shade at third, as I think Gardner a better man than Stock, a discarded Giant.

In the catching department, the Sox have an awful advantage, especially if Killifer will be forced

sit on the

bench and watch the rival forces go to it. I do not think there is any comparison between Burns, of the Phils, and Carrigan, Cady and Thomas, of the Red Sox, although Burns has outhit the Sox manager. However, we all know that experience is the best teacher and we doff oUr bonnets to the leader of the American champions. In Cady and Thomas, the Sox have two real receivers, and, to my way of thinking, either are as good as Killifer indeed, I think Cady has a shade on the injured Phillie star.

Should the Phillies win I will have no excuses to offer, but will take my medicine. However, I can't see other than the Red Sox. May the best te?,m win!

amor.fr the "Buzzards" showing best are: Crapo, Petrie, Wiedman, Wagner, Floyd. Eyans, Woodling and Tilly.

at Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 7.—With the lid clamped down good and tight, no one being admitted through the gates except members of the squads and newspaper men, the Indiana practice Wednesday afternoon was one of the best of the year.

The two varsity squads were given another long drill on what is known of last year's Miami formations and, although the first team played fast and snappy ball, the second eleven allowed the freshmen to make their first touchdown of the season. The score was maoe by Fenders, right halfback on the yearling crew, who ran forty yards. The only previous score for his team was made by Beck, who kicked a field goal in a scrimmage last week.

Judah, lefthalf on Erehart's squad, nearly made another touchdown yesterday afternoon, when he raced the entire length of the field, but was called back for running out of bounds. As it was he was given credit for a beautiful run of sixty-five yards, after he had intercepted a forward pass when the second team was on the freshman five-yard line. Landis and Crosby, of the second team, each made touchdowns and Prather, Bowser and Scott scored one each and Archie Erehart twice for the first varsity team.

Each eleven was given the ball in the center of the field and every time a touchdown was made the teams would start from the same place without the kickoflf. Childs said the gates will be open this afternoon and the rest of the week.

This May be a Tip for You, Fans Boston Has Never Lost Big Series

Perhaps you didn't know it, t*ut it's true nevertheless that Boston, the city of culture and beans, has never lost a world's baseball series. Three times Boston has figured in the playoff and each time the standard bearer of the Hub has been returned the victor.

Back in 190" Boston's American league entry won over the Pittsburgh Nationals five games to three. In 1912

the Red Sox defeated the New York Giants, four games to three. Last fall the Boston Braves walloped the Phila» delphia Athletics in four straight games. Thus in three series the Boston starters have won thirteen games and lost six.

This may be a little hunch for some of those who plan to bet on the Philadelphia Nationals against the Boston Red Sox in the forthcomipg series.

CAN ALEXANDER CMVE NICHE IN FAME'S HALL

Will Phillie Star, Practically Unaided By Other Pitchers, Carry Team to Title

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Is the name of Grover Cleveland Alexander to be written down in baseball history among the pitchers who, practically unaided by other pitchers of their club, carried their team to a' world championship?

Certainly if the Phillies' star comes anywhere near delivering what the fans expfect of him, he will earn a place Wl-th Mathewson, -who led the Giants •to thelr-tltle In 1905} with .Babe Adams, who proved the sensation of 1909, and with Jack Coombs, who set the Cubs back "with successive jars in 1911.

No, pitcher ever went into a world series with so much expected of him as will Alexander In the series soon to start. When Matty flashed his great three-game shut-out record back in 1905 he had an able assisting corps headed bv '"Iron-Man" Joe McGlnnlty, and the Giants might have won, even had Matty failed to show such wonderful form.

Adams had not been looked upon as likely to cause any trouble in the series which made him famous, the pitching being left in the "dope1 the veteran boxmen of the club-. When Coombs flashed forth in 1911 with his great effort he had the^ncble red skin, Chief Bender, as an aid. Yet in each instance the auxiliary force had little to do. Matty, Adams and Coombs did about all of "it.

Will He Deliver?

Alexander may get some help, but the majority of the dopesters are conceding that the other Quaker City boxmen ere not likely to puzzle the Red Sox anv. Never has it been such a certaintv, days before a series started, that one particular star was to be rushed In at every possible opportunity. There.is no doubt that Alex, will pitch the first game on Friday and the third game on Monday. He is sure to be back again for the fifth game on Wednesday. But the fans seem to overlook the fact that Alexander is human, and will be battling against a human machine. The strain may be too great, and then again he may do his poorest work on the first start. Poorer teams than the Red Sox have taken Alex'? measure when he seemed fully rested. On the other hand, poorer pitchors than Alex, have found the Red Sox easy.

Pitching in world series has offered many peculiar angles. Tried and true veterans of hard campaigns have failed in the big skirmishes and youngsters, who were comparatively unknown in the sport World have flashed to the front with a bang that reverberated from one end of the country to the other. Such was the entry of Babe Adams in 1909, that of Hugh Bedient in the New York-Boston series of 1912 and the flash of "Bullet" Joe Bush In the series of 1913. Last season Boston's big three kept all youngsters In the background.

Outside

ol

Boston the fans are pull­

ing in unisoti for the fighting Philadelphia club, which won without buying a Barry and won over others odds— among th»m many injuries to stars and much illness—and hard pressed all the while.

Odds Become Even.

Betting orders on the series were even in New York affain today, and many wagers at 6 to on the Phillies to take the opening game were re­

Manager Carrigan, of the American league cham-pions, is undecided, it was said bv the club secretary today, whether to start Leonard or Shore. The chances, however, prohably favor the former's doing the oipener for the Hub team, since Shore is inclined to flightinesi at times, and this is only his first full season in the majors.

Reports from the City of Brotherly Love have it that some curiosity Is felt over Joe Wood and his prospects of making a start. The report has been circulated widely thereabouts that he is in fcetter trim than Carrigan would have it believed, and that he is to be fired in at the unsuspecting Phils. But if Joe's exhibition in three innings against the Yanks yesterday afternoon was any criterion, the Phllly fans need have no misgivings. Joe, yesterday, was not the "Smoky Joe" of other years. And from his worried look and desperate efforts to baffle the Yanks, which, by the way. he only part way succeeded In doing—it appeared thfet he realizes too well this fac,t.

SCORE BOARD AT GRAND EVERS PICKS PHILIP

"Lefty" Gilbert Will Handle World's Series Games By Electricity.

The electric score board which "Lefty" Gilbert Is going to operate at the Grand for the benefit of the fans during the world's series and, incitlentally, his pocketbook, is as near the real thing as It Is (possible to secure. The board has a miniature diamond with foul lines and all the trimmings in evidence. The plays are ahown by a series of lights. The ball Is ty a red light, the basemen by red lights and the base runners by white lights. The batting order, showing who are the base runners and batters, is also 'before the eyes of the fan.

Should Cravath make a home run the electric bell will ring four times as the ball will be seen traveling over the wall. For realistic baseball outside of the actual seeing of the game, the electric score board comes as close to causing the fans to rise out of their seats and smash their hats with enthusiasm as anything ever Invented.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 7.'—In what was, without doubt, the hardest workout of the year, the varsity completely outplaved the scrubs. The early part of the practice was spent In receiving and running down punts.

After that some considerable time was spent in tackling. It is In this department of the gairie that the team showed up particularly weak in the clash with Wabash last Saturday. During the signal practice Coach Smith used Van Aiken at end, much to the surprise of the fans who were watching the workout. "Van," who has been playing right half all season, has been giving a good account of himself in that position.

The scrimmage, which lasted over an hour, was fast and furious, and the old gold and black players are showing a decided improvement In their work Thev seem to be surer of themselves and in general are starting to show some signs of midseason form.

Little Information can be obtained concerning the strength of Beloit college, but, nevertheless,' a victory is looked for on Saturday. At a monster mass meeting, on Stuart field last night, C. E. Dutchess, of the 1916 class, was elected cheer leader.

BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7.—Johnny Evers picks the Phillies to win th6' world's series. "The real reason 5 think so," he said In an interview to-, day, "is that Alexander is the greaest pitcher In the world. There hasn't been a greater pitcher in the National league in the last fifteen years. "Shore is the best Red Sox pitcher for this series, yet he has a bad weakness with mem on bases, and it's a Pretr ty good argument that the Phillies will start with a big advantage. No one. has given George Chalmers the credit that belongs to him. He is a marvel for six or seven innings and likely to go the remainder of the route all right.: If he does Philadelphia has as safe a bet in him aS in Alexander. Moran1 will show himself to be a wonder."
