CINCINNATI PARK TO HOLD 30,000 FANS IN SERIES Pride of Garry's Heart is Prepared for Mass of Maniacs for Series. CINCINNATI, Sept. 27. The home grounds of the Cincinnati Nationals, winners of the National League Pen nant, which is known a9 Redland Field, will seat approximately 27,000 persons, and accomodate about 33,000 when the local team plays the Chicago White Sox, winners of the American League race for the World's eerie's championship honors. The permanent stands scat 22,000, but by the time the first game of the World's series is begun, new feats for 5,000 more persons will have been erected. In addition, fans who are not fortunate enough to obtain coupon tickets for seats will find space lor about 6,000 persons. Early in August when Cincinnati played the New York Giants In what was considered by many baseball fol-; lowers as the crucial games in the j pennant race, slightly more than) 31,000 persons were on the ball j grounds. From this it can be seen j that there will be no difficulty for at j least 33,000 finding vantage places to' view the games. New seats in left and center fields ! extend over the sidewalk on Western ! avenue and along York street and the j new box seats are along the first and j third baste lines. The playing field wiil be encroached i upon in left and center field to the ex- j tent of possibly 18 feet and about the; same distance behind the catcher's po-j sition and along the first and third i base lines. This will contract the( playing field somewhat, but it will be , possible to drive out legitimate threebase hits in left field and home runs ir. right. Cost was $399,000. Redland Field is considered the last word in baeball parks. It is situated at Western avenue, Findlay and Ycrk streets in the western section of the city. The permanent s-tands are of concrete- and stee! and (lie ptop- . ! is owned by the Cincinnati club. The building of the structure was rrarfed in September, 1911. and completed in April. 1912, the total cost running to ?399,00O. Fiv- street car lines are routed by way of the ball park, while thera is another a square away. The ball park ran be readied in 20 minutes by street ar from the htait of the city. The playing field is the pride of Garry Herrmann, president of the flv.b and chairman of the National Baseball commission. It lies about e;ght ftet below the stands with a slight embankment along the if.it field extending to the fence enclosure, if ft field i". shorter from the home plate- than is the right field.

AMERICAN LEAGUE HAS WON 9 OF 14 WORLD'S SERIES

CHICAGO, Sept 27. Records of baseball world's series of past years show that although the American league entries have been victorious In nine of the fourteen series, the games have been so closely contested that the National leaguers are only three behind their younger opponents in the number of runs scored and sir in games won. So-called world series were played as far back as 1884. but it was not until 1905 that the National commission took charge of the series and promulgated rules governing it. Since that year the winning clubs in each of the major leagues have met in October In a seven game series to decide the championship, although this year the series will be lengthened to nine games. During the past fourteen years seventy-eight games have been played an average of five and a half per series Including two ties. In winning their nine series the American league teams have triumphed in forty-one games while the senior league entries have been on the long end of the score in 35 games, in winning their five series. In runs scored the Americans lead with 253 against their oponents 250. The shortest series of the twelve was that of 1914 when the Boston Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Americans in four straight games. The Chicago Nationals of 1907 aiso won four straight from the Detroit Americans, but this run was preceded by a tie game with the score stand-! ing 3 to 3 when darkness halted the ?io- .

Aquatic sports are the popular line of diversion at Santa Catalina Islands, located j 25 miles off Los Angeles County coast, across the Channel of San Pedro. En route, flying fish are ever a rource of interest, until the crescent shaped harbor of Avalon is seen. Catalina Island is 22 miles long, one-fourth to seven miles wide, Mour.t Orizaba, twenty-three hundred feet high is the tallest mountain. Cabrillo. a Spanish navigator, landed where the little city of Avalon is now located in 1542. Later coast pirates, who looted rich galleons in the Philipine trade, built and called Avalon their home port. Our steamer "Caorillo" glided up to the pier. "Squirrel'' deep sea coin diver, stood in his boat, awaiting the casting of silver coin Into the depths. Hands extended, both eyes wide open, he would dive for the "shimmeying coin." never allowing one to strike the bottom. While visiting Catalina I attended their Aquatic Carnical. Swimming, diving, water polo, tug-of-war between skilled oarsmen, pulling square sterned skiffs, glass bottom boats. "Old Ben" the one eyed seal, continuosly disported along the dock, awaiting the arrival of some visiting fisherman into port, that he might be treated to a fish banquet. All were featured and interesting. Advertised as the thrilling acme of real sport was"Aquatic deep sea swimming vs. Tuna tackle contest, man against man." Captain Sai.i Weslbrook, expert angler, equipped with a tuna rod, multiplying reel and twenty-four thread line, fishing from a row boat was matched against Edward Adargo, a man weighing 190 poun, recognized expert swimmer, water dog goat hunter and coast guard, officiating as human fish. Th man with the tackle was to land the "man fish" within a period of 15 minutes, at the side of his boat, ready for the introduction of the "gaff" in his floating ribs. Should a greater time elapse, or the line be broken, the honors of contest were to be accorded the "fish." One hundred and fifty feet of line handicap was allowed, forty feet more were added before Westbrook set his hook, and commenced to reel in his human fi h. which he "pumped" and played scientifically. When "pumped" the "fish" was almost lifted from the water. In thirteen minutes, Adargo was deprived of his "goat." was reeled In within gaffing distance, capitulating witli having the "hooks thrown into him."
