PLACE MANY ODD BETS

Question Whether Giants' Pitching or Athletics Batting Will Win. By FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. The advance guard of the out-of-town army of baseball fans filtered Into town today and at once went Into "training" for the battle tomorrow when 50,000 lovers of the national game will battle for the 80,000 unreserved seats that will be placed on sale at the Polo grounds at 9 a. m., for the world's series combat between the Giants and Athletics. Many came a day in advance of tho first big game in the hope of buying reserved seats and thus avoiding the long weary hours of waiting in line for the unreserved , seats and even then running a chance of not getting any. But they came too late. Every reserved seat for all the games In New York has been sold out Others came in the hope of gathering some eleventh-hour, first-hand data relative to the status of both teams so that they might find some basis for the wagering of the money which they toted along from their home towns. But their mission, too, was a vain one. Everyone Eager to Bet. They found the gambling element In New York eager as they were to wager huge sums on the outcome of the blue ribbon event of baseball, but still unwilling to risk their ownings because of the baffling problem that the present series carries will the superior pitching strength of the Giants or the superior batting strength of the Athletics triumph? Not one straight-away bet of any Bize on the outcome of the series has been so far registered either here or In Philadelphia. Down in the Wall t Btreet district where hundreds of thousands of dollars were wagered in other years on the baseball classic j come reports from the betting commissioners that not more than $5,000 has so far been placed with them. Report Player III. While the National commission was holding a session here to put the finishing touches to the arrangements for the big event, there issued "bear" stories from the rival camps. From the Athletics lair came the report that several of the players were suffering from bad colds, etc., which may so affect their physical condition . that they may not be able to do themselves full justice and perhaps may not be able to play in the entire series. The Giants retaliated by stating that Snodgrass, the centerfielder, had an al

MINISTERS PREPARE BIG MASSMEETING Engage Noted Evangelist to Lead Revival Work in January. At today's meeting of the Richmond Ministers Association it was fully decided to hold a union mass meeting of all Richmond churches throughout the month of January. The matter of the meeting had been pending for some time awaiting an investigation of the evangelistic committee but the report of that committee was unanimously adopted. The Rev. Mr. Honeywell and party of six assistants will be engaged to take charge of the meetings. A tele gram sent late this morning to the evangelist notified him that his offer had been accepted.

FACTORY EMPLOYES MANIFEST-INTEREST Night School Enrollment Is Expected to Reach 500 by Tuesday.

Room 20 in the high school building will be open again tonight for those desiring to enroll in the night school which begins tomorrow evening in the auditorium. The enrollment has already reached 250 and it is expected to be doubled when the first classes meet Tuesday evening. Principal Pickell today visited the largest factories in the city, distributing circulars, and found that much interest in the school is being displayed by factory men of the city. Classes will meet on Tuesday and Friday nights and will continue for 20 weeks. Enrollment may be made by telephone by calling 1411.

INSTITUTES FIRE DRILL IN SCHOOLS Fire drills will be instituted in the county schools by Township Trustee Howarth during the next month. The state fire marshal has issued an order making fire drills compulsory in city schools, and Howarth believes it will place the township school pupils in a safer position if they are taught to drop all work and form into line to march out at a given signal. All the township schools are one-story building and most of them are of brick, making fire an improbability, Howarth says. Admiration

ALL DAIRIES MUST STERILIZEJOTTLES Health Officer Davis Says This Must Be Done ' With Steam.

That all dairies not sterilizing milk bottles with steam would be compelled to do so in the future, was the announcement made by City Health Officer Davis today, together with the report of two more cases of typhiod fever which used milk supplied by the William Hartman dairy, now quarantined by order of the Btate board of health. The two new typhoid cases are Jesse Hilling, 822 North F street, and Mike George, 1204 North F street. It was also ascertained today that about a month ago a complaint was filed with the health officer over the condition of a bottle of milk furnished : by Hartman to a customer In the central part of the city. The woman who entered the com plaint informed the Palladium today hlT .Tf"". " ter she had told him that the milk

He said it was not necessary for dairymen to purchase steam sterilizing machines, that this could be done effectively by placing bottles in a a boiler and heating the water until it steamed. Dairy Inspector Flook today forj warded to the state health authorities samples of milk from the Hartman dairy and water used in cleansing the bottles. These samples will be analy zed and a report is expected Wednes-4 day or Thursday. It will then be possible to authoritatively determine where the typh gepidemic originated. It is a foregone conclusion, however, that the epidemic was spread about the city in unsanitary bottles used by the Hartman dairy. No Hartman customer who bought milk in the cans in his wagon have contracted typhoid refer. This fact has practically convinced the health authorities that only his j bottled njilk has. been the agency for ! snreadinar th rifcease.
