First Battle For Baseball Supremacy on Polo Grounds May be Halted by Inclement Weather.

NHV VOFJK. ct. 7. The stage Is ret and Tuesday the curtain will rise on the final act of the 13 in ha-- ali drama. Hehind the frnr.; the Philadelphia Athlti. 3 and the New York Giants arr at their stations ready for the cno thct will send them int j the lime light of the world serp. spectators from all- partr. of iio United States arc rfody for the rush on tho Polo Rrour.'ls and only th menace of the weather stands hetupfn thousands of fans and th. :ulfillment of their expeetHtlonv "Unsettled conditions" was the dubious prediction for Tuesday. WhPthor the v-ath r for :. str-r hH rlzht or wrong the fact remains that "unsettled conditions" i.s the Keynote on the eve of play. Tho ydayers. fans and prophets aro all in the samr hoat. Odds Are Nino to Ten. Neither manager nor players will venture a straight prediction as to the result of either th- first gaine or of th series. 'Hi Athletic supporters In Philadelphia are offering ten to nine on Connie Mack's team. v. hiithe New York club supporter. ;ir willing to lay similar odds when baited in thir own bailiwick. Profeional bookmakers offer I) tc 3ft with the better making his own choice as to th probable winner. So far as actual wagering i concerned, there has been less betting than usual. The amounts range fr m $5 to $50 and many ar of the freak variety concerning the pitehers for the opening game; total number i games In the series; ami similar ropotfitions. The uncertainty o ftho ultimate outcome and the apparent oenne-? 'n playing strength of the contending clubs furnished unlimited matt vial for argument. The supporters of Mather on and Marquard advanced ;i score of 'reasons why Manager Mctiraw should start their favorites against the Athletics; and the fans from :h:lndlphia smiled and gently insvrU d Into the argument a mention of J. Franklin Baker and what his trusty home run bat did during the sone-? ,. 1911. Players Slip Away. In the midst of the turmoil of Tannins" the players of the two club Flipped away early and tried to talm frayed nerves with a sleep. The memIters of the New York club retina to their homes several hours before midnight and even the literary char inters amorist them dropped pens and pencils In order that the bat might prove effective on the morrow. The entire Philadelphia club, accompanied by a number of "rooters" arrived in the city hhortly afer in p. m. and retired nt dnrc to an uptown hotel. While the principal actors in the great climax of the baseball year were unninc sleep, the ticket speculator and the baseball public were far more r.ctive. Despite the plans and protestations of the New York National league club officials, the New York ticket speculator proved his right to the tit 1' of "King of his craft." Although there were but 8.00a reserved Feats sold by the club to a selected list of patron, a certain percentage of the coupons quickly found their way into the hands of the ticket vendors who offered them at prices many times over their face value. There a an the usual cry of "scandal." and "investigation." but old timers smiled and spoke of similar previous experiences which resulted in much talk lut no action. Fabulous PrhTs Asked. Recause of the fact that hut S.OO of the .IS.Otm scats were disposed of In th advaneo Hale, the opportunities for speculators to secure tickets were not as great as in the past. Consequently those that were available commanded almost fabulous prices, Sds for the threo New York games were offered at prices ranging from $50 to 5100. according to locations. Single 'seats for tho opening game were quoted at $80 each and found ready purchasers even at ten times their ioriglnal price. James E. Gaffney, president and owner of the Hoston National league cluh applied to the New York club for (forty-six seats, .is was his privilege as n club owner and member of the select list. He stated that the local club 'officials told him that none was available. The Ronton club executive thereupon went on the street and purchased sixteen tickets for on. With these jis evidence h went before the National commission and explained the Fit nation. In a statement given out ilater tho commission said that the New York club officers knew the original holders of the seats, but were not ready to make the name; public. Pderks of eat:s. were sold to city offlf ls and it was reported that those which Gaffney bought were thought to be from some such source. The members of the National oommisesion stated that any action in the matter would be deferred until later in the week. Team- I 'nun Alaska. Baseball enthusiasts who had made journeys of thousands of miles were not influenced by the remarks of the National commission and continued thctr hunt for a speculator. Two thirty-third d--urc. fans" from Alaska offered ?." for a set of three tickets but continue.! the search when the sharp featured vendor demanded Mn, :m! refused to dicker. A trio of Texas enthusiasts paid J7r for three se.it.

The regents of the University of Minnesota do not take kindly to the proposition of the athletic board of the University of Michigan to resume athletic relations with Minnesota unless the Michigan institution can come in under the regular western conference rules. In a letter written to the Minnesota regents the Michigan authorities had expressed a desire to resume athletic relations with Minnesota, but advanced the argument that it was "inconsistent with the dignity of any university to surrender to any other authority its right to prescribe and maintain its own rules and regulations". The Michigan authorities, in a! resolution called for an agreement within the conference, as conditional on its resumption of membership, whereby a unanimous vote of ail members would be necessary to adopt and enforce a rule.

The work of the infields of the NewYork and Philadelphia clubs, which open the annual world's championship series Tuesday, will be watched with more than ordinary interest. One of the biggest questions to be settled by the series is: Will the speedy infield of the New York Giants prove to be the equal of the wonderful J100.000 inner defense combination of the Athletes? The Athletics' four form one of the steadiest, machine-like combinations ever known to the game. They can always be depended upon to put up the same lightning-like brand of play, minus the fancy frills. The Giants infield is composed of four fine players, who work together in flashes. They enjoy periods when they pull together in most brilliant fashion, negotiating all sorts of double-quick plays. But this quartet is not immune to slumping periods and there are many times In a season when the Giant infield commits all sorts of baseball crimes.
