GOTHAM AGOG AS YANKS AND GIANTS CLASH Sensational Series, Expected as New York Clubs Meet for World’s Title. RUTH OVERSHADOWS ALL -r - ’ r , Weather Improves * WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Fair weather for world's series frames today and tomorrow was predicted today by the United States Weather Bureau. W'amrer weather for tomorrow's was promised, when cold northwest wind* now blowing are expected to shift to the west and southwest. By JACK VEIOCK. (International News Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Oct s.—Gotham bubbled oyer with baseball enthusiasm today as the Giants and Yankees prepared to enter the first game of the world series. Thousands of fans, armed with precious reserved seat tickets, aud other thoulands who had to be content to take a chance on “crashing" the general admission ticket windows, started their march the Polo Grounds at sun-up. Inri.orating aut trail weather, flavored with a crisu <>• r tang and tempered with friendly due, completed the itage setting 1 hat promises to ue the greatest seri ver played. Though the ting game was not scheduled to st.i until 2 o’clock, the rival New York .niiant winners and limited accomr: dations nt the Polo Grounds caused New Yorkers to fall over each other in the rush for tickets. — : s Old Story of Early Bird POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. s.—Thou winds of rabid Gotluam funs and hundreds from out-of-town stormed the Poio Grounds early today for the world’s series seats. Dy eight o’clock there were 1,200 in line at the bleacher pates and crowds coming on every subway and elevated and railway train. Taxicabs In this part of New York brought other, to swell the ranks. About 500 weary hut eager fans had been there nil night long, nndeterreil by rain and cold They had their reward tills morning when those who had slept at home last night arrived to find long lines between them ami the choicest bleacher seats. ——— ' The great stadium will c-mrirtably seat gome 38,000 fans. About 20.000 of these •eats are reserved, the rest being sol > at the ticket windows the day of each estimates place the number of people in the district interested in the big series at something over 4.000.00 e Forty thousand nt the most can w each game If the scries should go the full nine games, total attendance will run • round 300,000. So it is easy to see wha t mass of fans will be disappointed. BABE RCTII IS 'OUTSTANDING FIGURE. Babe Ruth, king of swatters, was the outstanding figure as the teams prepared for baule. The “big bam” with a i tv home-run record of flity-uiue circuit swats In a single season and a tepntaF.oa as a murderer of all kinds of pitching was the logical candidate for the role of world's series hero. . Ruth Is the big ace of the Yanks. He Is the “keg" of TNT Yankee fans are counting on to shatter the defenses of the stalwart Giants. He ha 9 hammered baseballs into the stands and over the walls at the Polo grounds so consistently against the bes* pitchers In the AtiuwIcan League that his admirers can se- no way for Giant twirlers to stop him. The more rabid the Y'nnkee fan the more willing h eis to wager that Ruth will monopolize the series. * Thanks to Ruth and his popularity, the Y'anks went into the series. today carrying a burden of slight favoritism on their shoulders. Betting, however, was at even money for the most part. * except for sporadic* wagers and fr -ak bets among radical partisans of the rival teams. The Intense Interest among Gotham fans In this series has been growing over a long period of years. When the Yanks were first planted in New York they failed to attraet ramli attention. It took them years to establish themselves. They merely dragged along. Finally. Colonels Rupert and Huston got hold of them and they started to get bullish. Eater the ambitious Colonels got Babe Ruth. Ever since this master stroke of baseball business the Yanks have been cashing, and today they have as many followers aR the Giants. MATS AND NEHF I'ROBABEE PITCHERS. Probable pitchers for the opening game today were Carl Mays, the submarine artist, for the Yanks, and Nehf or Douglas. for the Giants. John McGraw, who will always give a reporter the identity of his pitcher if he knows who he is goin# to work, said last night that it all depended on who looked best when the boys warmed up. Nehf. if ‘Tight,’ •was the logical man to start for the Giants. Much depends on today's game. Conservative baseball men believe that the team that gets the jump today will win the series. Many also predict that the battle will go at least seven games, and probably the full nine. Precedent in the matter of first game winners shows that in series of the past the Phillies and Giants are the only teams that won first games and then lost the series. Several players in this series are lucky to be there. Slim Sallee Is on-'. The slim sheriff from Iligginsport was a member of the Giants when they won the flag back In lfl7. He was later sent to the Reds In time to horn In on the 1919 eerie* and ho is now back with McGraw. Johnny Rawlings and “Irish” Meusel. ftadid to New York by the tail-end are also lucky to be among fuose present. Frank Baker, nftea re tired but always doing a “rattl," did his latest Just in time to buy another farm. Elmer Miller, from Michael Kelley’s St. Paul outfit, came to the Y'anks in midseason. | lndependent Football Manager Canning of the Indianapolis Football Club team requests the following players to report for practice tonight and Friday evening at 7:30 aharp at College avenue and Fall Creek: L. Skinner, McMurtxy, Webb. Ruddles, Force, Olsen, Bull Skinner, Pear, Fox. Darnell. Perry Adams, Metzger. Longmiere, Miller. Handley, Mathias, Bill Skinner. Conners, McCoy. Borlnstetn, Yott, Woods and Welch. Manager Canning expects to have his club In tip-top shape for their opening game of the season next Sunday at Eagles’ Park (formerly Northwestern), when the local eleven lines up for the whistle against the Ft. Harrison team. The Belmonts will practice tonight at Belmont field and all players intending to be in the line-up for Sunday’s game are urged to report.

WORLD’S SERIES PICK-UPS

NEW YORK, Oct. s.—Opening day for the world’s series dawned fair and cool. A brief shower before daybreak was followed by clearing weather and when the sun rose the sky was practically cloudless. There was a tang of autumn in the air, hut this was rapidly dissipated by the bright sunshine. There was a moderate northwest wind. Despite the rain apd the cold of the night, scores of fans whose numbers were augmented to hundreds at dawn, stood in line all Dight waiting to grab off a $1 bleacher ticket. There Isn’t room enough for one New Y'orker In ten who wants to see the series, and thousands were pouring in today from nearby cities and towns. Eighteen thousand seats have been reserved for each game. Possibly 100,000 persons struggled for the 19,000 admissions that went on sale at the grounds at 10 o'clock this morning. The first women to make the line were three Staten Island girls, Helen, Agnes l and Dora. They entertained the nearest fans with shrill songs during the early p.Tt of the evening, but later on everyi thiug was quiet around their flivver. This is an unconfirmed story, subject to deniel if Mr. Volstead makes an Inquiries. Unofficially the bootleggers didn’t do a bad business at all up around the Polo grounds last night. What with 500 baseball fans lined up In the cold and rain with nothing to do but wait for Tnorntng—and doing it—lt was only naturel that some of our B. L.s should hire themselves out that way with their wares. ' The first rgan in the bleacher line, that annually important figure who becomes ntaionaily famous every October, was Charles M Kierst, a fireman of Auburn, N. Charley, innured to hardships such as staying out all night aud a “baseball bug ever Rince I was knee high,"’ had been out there up against the fence, ever since i” o’clock Tuesday morning. “The Giants are going to win.” said Charley, first of the real prophets, the bleacher fans, to tip off the world on the outcome. “And the Babe probably will get himself two home runs.” Joe Jakaub, number two. was another Auburnlte and he and Fireman Kierst battled all night, for Joe is. n Y'ankee rooter. "They'll take five straight, the Yanks will,” Joe told the world. “And what’s more Babe Ruth Is going to get a home run every one of those five game.” Somehow, every one fignres that while it may not be the greatest series in point of skill and strategy, yet It will be the most thrilling and spectacular. New Y'ork Is divided against itself. It is a case of dog eat dog. So the entire town is wild to see the games and thousands of fans from every State in the Union are here for the same purpose. Do not envy tho owners of these flagwinning teams of Gdtlyjm. They have much fame, and gold flows Into their coffers in a st/Fani. But. they also have much sorrow. ’Tis the way of fame First Game Decides Title, Is Verdict of Fa ns Before Start By HAROLD JACOBS, United Press Correspondent.. NEW YORK, Oct. 5,-The team that lands the first punch will win. That was the ante bellum verdict of fandom today rs the crowds gathered to witness the opening encounter of New York's civil war. So evenly are the Giants and Yankees matched—in the opinion of grand stand strategists -that an overwhelming advantage will rest with the initial break. Contrary to most world's series, the fans look for slugging matches rather than pitchers' battles. In the present series the pitchers are usually working far above their season's form. But In the present struggle the cash customers i are confident that the bat will be mightier than the curve. Should the fans’ “dope” prove true, indications would appear to favor the Yanks as they have bludgeoned their way to the American League pennant by , sheer clubbing pbwer, particularly as practiced by ''murderer’s row.” The Giants are some swatters thernselvi-s. however. Their team average i .299, compared with the Yankees' .”00, and the squad Manager McGraw will put In the ; field .will average higher than that which Huggins will produce. Caseber Wins Stale Bicycle Championship Alfred Caseber, local bike rider, won the State championship and the rjght to represent Indiana in the national meet at Washington, D. C., Oct. 9. In the final trials of He Indiana division of the amateur Bicycle League of America yesterday at the Speedway, defeating Ellas Bailey, Terre Haute champion, by twenty points to twelve In a match of four events. Caseber won from Bailey largely by timing his sprints better than did his opponent. In each of the half mile and mile events Bailey took an early lead, but was unable to stave off Caseber's rush at the finish. Again, in both the three and five-mile races unpaced against time Caseber proved to have the edge. Caseber will leave for Washington ou Friday night and will be the first rider to represent this State at a national meet for twenty years. The expenses incurred in making this trip will be paid by the following: II T. Ilearse.v Company. Smith flossier Sturm Company, G. 11. Westing Com--1 pany, Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company, The Gus Hableh Company, —Hoffman Sporting Coods Company, Diamond Chain Manufacturing Company and Charles E. Wehr. Officials of yesterday’s meet were Paul Jordan and Robert j Sturm, timers; Torn Murray, starter; t Charles E. Wchr, referee. Cub-White Sox Start in City Series Today CHICAGO. Oct. 5.—A tmeetlnz of the . four umpires, the managers and captains j of the two local major league clubs, which are to start a five-game series to decide the champlonsnip of Chicago, was held yesterday with William H. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast League, who has been designated by Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball, to supervise the series. The' series 1r scheduled to start today and will be the first meeting of the two clubs since 1916. The first game will be played In the 1 Arueriean I.eague park, weather permitting. The next two games will be played in the National League park, and the Saturday and Sunday contests in the White Sox park. The regular season prices will prevail. I Unless “Kid” Gleason, manager of the White Sox, and Bill Klllafer, pilot of ! the Cubs, crossed the dopesters, the question of supramocy between Urban *4 Red) Faber and Grover Cleveland Alexander was likely to be settled today. Faber for the White Sox and Alexander for the Cubs were picked as rival pitchers in the first game of the city series. Chicago fans seemed content today to let New Y'ork enjoy Its “home grown” world's series as they prepared to pack Comiskey Park to see the seventh-place Cubs contest with the seventh-place White Sox. Local baseball enthusiasts were anticipating plenty of thrills before the question of the city championship Is decided. Brisk fall weather, with clear skies and rising temperature prevailed. The game was carded to start at 2:30 o’clock, or half an hour aftt- the big fracas in New York commerced. Hoppe’s Father Dead CHICAGO. Oct. s.—Frank Hoppe* 59, father of W-tllle Hoppe, balkllne billiard champion of ihe world, died Tuesday morning at the University hospital, this efty, of paralysis after an illness lasting several months. Willie was notified ' v -rji-" <••• i:,*..). )

and fortune; sorrow follows most always In their track. Consider; these owners have about 40,000 seats in their ball pjsrk and they are besieged aud beset by about 700,0G0 fans who want these seats. No colonel since the days of the Roman legions ever faced ab many foes as Colonels ltuppect and Huston faced last j night. They were boti. crouched behind j bomb proofs, and they do say that McGraw hid himself in Hobgjten and that Huggins was off up the Hudson, trying to cover his trail with water. 'Umpire Quigley had a little difficulty in getting out of a contract to officiate In the Harvard-lndiana football game at Cambridge next Saturday. The college officials were inclined to hold him to this contract, but Judge Landis called them up over the'telephone and induced them to reicasij Quigley from j his agreement with them. , ! Interest In the big series outside of New Y'ork apparently centers iu Babe Ruth and what he will do Newspaper boys from out-of-town have asked a million questions about Ruth. Fans outside are more interestedjn what the “Sultan of Slug” will do than who wins the series, ; and naturally so. I Garry Herrmann, erstwhile prime minister of baseball and now the owner of the humbled Clncytßeds is among the present. Garry recently suffered an attack of ptomaine poisoning and is not so well, hut he is taking a lively interest in the series. i “On *of the greatest series imaginable,” he said today. "Who will win? Why the Giants of course. When 1 say Giants I am giving you my honest judgment.” Bob Meusel, the Yank who looks like the collar ad boy nod does it naturally, Is the only member of Hugmen who is not at tils best. Meusel lias a bud cold aad did not work out with the Yankees in ilieir final practice session Tuesday. He was to be on the Job-today, Dick Kinsella, whose son plays the outfield for Jack Hendricks. Indianapolis, end who has been a scout for the Giants i for 10, these many years, opines that the McGraw men will knock all kinds of holes In the Yank pitching. “They will be surprised when they get up against Mac’s batting array,” said Dick. Frank Frisch. Giant third darker, is rated as one of the best players In the series and a young man who stands a great chance of being the world series hero. Frisch is not only a great fielder, but a slashing and tlmoly hitter. Frankie Graham of the Sun and Weed Dickson of the Telegraph, will be official scorers for the Giants and Y'anks respectively. Back in the days when “Matty” was in his prime the Y'nnks and Giants played a city series. McGraw's team won it' five games to one. Precedent often goes a long way. Will it repeat in the case of the Giants? New York fans are wondering. ‘Gentleman Jim’ Selects the Giants, but Admits Fear of Mays and Iluth There is little doubt about which team is the better in the present world's scries In the mind of James J. Corbett, who Is appearing nt Keith's this week. When the former heavyweight champion was asked yesterday what ! e thought of the Yanks and the Giants he was very posi tive that the Giants had the best team in either league outside of the pitching staff. “if the Giants had one airtight pitcher (here would be nothing to It, is the way < Jim expresed himself, lie could see no comparison at all between tue two teams that did not favor the Giants, with the exception of Babe Ruth and Mays. He predicted both these players were thu aces the M Grawmen would have to slop ito win. Corbett considered tho Y anks ! (o have an edge iu the first game with | Mays In the box. It made Jim sort of hot finder the collar because some sports writer sold in i comparing the two opposing shortstop* that Bancroft was a good mechuni-il player, but not ns “heady” ns l’e. k. "McGraw must j>e crazy if he made n man captain of his team who was riot there with the head work Bancroft is one .f the greatest players In the game today,” said Corbett, lie also stated that Kelly ! of the Giants is an und r rated player aud that the right side of McGraw's in field is not weak ns some say with Kelly at first and Rawlings at second Corbett, who is n real baseball fan, Is keenly disappointed because he can not see the series, for his engagements here ’hi* week and at Sr. Louis next week will keen him awsv from the games. Yes terday tno hi;; fellow had a telegram from McGraw inviting him to the series with the promise of a box sent if lie could get there. “It's pretty tough,” said .Tim, “but I’ll be over at English’s watching the returns any way. They can't cheat me j out of ihat.” Three British Women / Survive in Golf Play DEAL, N. J.. Oct. s.—Cecil Leitrh. j woman goff champion of England and Canada, was. defeated (hi* afternoon In the second round of play in the American woman’s national championship by Mrs. Fred Letts of Chicago, former Western champion. Vlrs. l.cths won the match 1 up on the eighteenth green. DEAL. N. C., Oet. .V—Three British women golfers survived the first round of ih© United States championship day at the Hollywood Golf Club and ail played In a nianrr-r to indicate that they will take considerable beating before being disposed of In this championship. Miss Cecil Leltoh, the British champion, player! by far the best game she has show T n In this country and won easily from Mrs. Ralph Hammer of New York, 8 and 7. Miss Edith Leiteh. sister of the chain pion. figured In ihe real upset match of the first round when she won from Miss Gleuna Collett of I’rovidence, it and 1. Mrs. Lathal Hall of England w r on the closest (match of the day from Mrs. \Y. A. Gavin of New Y'ork, when slm finally achieved a victory nt the twentieth hole. Other favorites came through. Miss Alexa Stirling, the American champion; Miss Marion Hollins and Mrs. Clarence VanrV-rbeek won easily and scored well enough to assure their followers they will he able to give the British women good matches. ___ American League Leads NEYV Y'ORK, Oct. s.—American Longue clubs having won eleven world's series, the. Yankee* were to go to bat against the Giants today wilh the opportunity of making It an even dozen victories—or two to one—for the Junior organization.

Usual Series Scenec Present for Opening of Baseball Classic ! Early Morning Crowds, Hot Dogs, Discussions' Over Pitchers an ’ Everything . By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEYV YORK, Oct. o.—Nothing Is missing, it's the world's series aud the customary scenes are all In place. The early neornlng crowds, the hot dog stands and lemonade booths on the corner, the urchins peddling coffee to the valiant waiters In front of the bleacher window, the usual fun In the usual way. The Giants and the Yanks are ready. Ail New York faces and all New York caps furnish the new feature of this year's fall baseball classic. Seven times a pennant winner and fix times an entry in the world’s series, John I J. McGraw, the big-girthed, gray leader of the Giants, started his club today against the Yanks In Ills drive for his second world's championship. The Y'anks, their first time with a pen mint, were out to add to their triumph ; with a world title. New Y’ork Is divided between them. J The Giants have the heart of the old time fans, but the new generation is backed up solidly behind the great Babe Ruth. Sentiment shown in the betting proves the big burg divided. Odds of 6 to 5 are being offered ou either club. YVall street reported today that close to $200,000 had been put up on the Giants. Freak bets are more popular. YYlth all the details arranged, the crowd assured, the umpires ready, everything was known this morning but the battellen. i Miller Huggins, the half pint size | lead -r of the Yanks, made no hones of it. i "Mays, if he s any ways near right." j Huggins slid. j M-Graw was not certain “No secret \ stuff." he said. "I don’t know. Either ! Douglas or Nehf. The Y'anks don't like I left handers.” Huggins denied this morning that Frank Baker, the veteran series cain- ; t aigner, would replaco McNally at third ' bnse. Baker has been the bench, with bad legs since the Yanks started their drive for the pennant. McNally has been playing such a beautiful game that hi* manager refuses (o break up the combination. Earl Smith, the Arkansas butcher, was eipected to do the catching for the Giants today. He Is a very effective hitter if he does no* carry exeesxlvo baggage upstairs. YVall Sehange, tile sparse * locked veteran of n flock or world serif's, i is sure to do moat of the catching for the Y'anks In the series. All of tho betting and the talk seems ito be centered around Babe Ruth. YY'lll Babe hit the Giant pitchers and will Mo Graw let him hit? are the absorbing uucstlons ' i “It all depends on the situation,” McGraw said today when asked if the“Bam" I* to get a free ticket every time. “No manager would put the tying or win- | tilng run on bases.

The International League champs arrived last night very confident of their ability to beat the American Association pennant winners.
