THE 3IORXIXO OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1917. 11 BALL PARKS' SIZE TO LIMIT RECEIPTS Grounds in New York and in Chicago Will Only Hold 37,000 Persons Each. 'NTEREST IN SERIES BIG fn Thirteen AVorld's Series Which Have Been Played Since 1903 Official Paid Attendance Totals $1,701,777. ' 1TEW YORK, Sept. 30. If the seating capacity of the baseball parks in which play will be staged were not limited, there is no question that new attend ance records would be established In the coming world series between the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals. So keen is the interest and enthusiasm created by this Intersec tional struggle for diamond supremacy between the teams of the two largest cities of the Nation that, under certain conditions, it is likely even the figures of IS 12 may be surpassed. In the coming games the New York Polo Grounds will seat 37.000 specta tors, in round numbers, while the Chi cago White Sox' park, with due allow ance for any temporary stands that Comisliey may elect to erect, will not exceed this paid seating capacity. As a basi3 of comparison, therefore, the maximum capacity of either park may be placed at approximately 37,000. Many close followers of the playing ability of the two teams involved have reached the conclusion that, given any thing like an even break in the luck of the game, the series will go at least six games before a decision is reached. Big; Attendance Sore. If this proves to be the case, the to tal attendance, in round numbers, would aggregate 2i2,000, as against the 251. (01 actual paid admissions in the New York-Boston series of 1912, which, in cluding one tie contest, went eight games. In order to surpass these fig ures, at least seven games between the New York and Chicago clubs will be necessary to bring the aagregate at tendance up to 259.000. The awarding of the various playing dates as the re sult of the toss of a coin will have little, if any, effect upon the attend ance, as it is predicted that the ca pacity of both parks will be complete ly sold out, regardless of the days of the week on which games will be played at Chicago or New York. In the 13 series which have been played since 1903. the official paid at tendance amounted to 1,701,777 and the receipts $2,874,224. giving an average charge of admission of SI. 67 per spec tator for each of the 74 games played. If this same rate were applied to a seven-game series between Chicago and New York, the total gat-) receipts would amount to $432, S30, of v.hich the National Commission would take f43. 263. the players 14S.296 and the club ov.'ners about $241,000. Receipts Are Estimated. These figures and division of gate receipts would not exceed those of the 1912 series, however, on the basis of an average charge of $1.67 -per spec tator, but in recent years the average price of admission has been consider ably increased, as It was about $2.35 per head in the 1916 series. Allowing for certain proposed reductions, the rate should not fall much below $2, which would give approximately $518. 000 for a seven-game series between the Chicago and New York clubs. This would exceed by more than $28,000 the Tecord receipts now credited to the 1912 series. The attendance figures, by series, since the year 1903 follow: N. I. A. I.. Gins. At'nd'ee. ..

(Spe cial.) When Hood River hunters, cores of whom have secured their li censes during the past week, hie them selves away tomorrow at daybreak to hunt the China pheasant cock they will be greeted with "No hunting, shooting or trespassing" signs, sound ing a warning from the fence posts and trees of property owned by orchardists. While apple growers declare that they are not opposed to the killing of the pheasants, which themselves de stroy a good many apples when feed ing, they express the fear that hunters will shoot indiscriminately and thus ruin many apples. A single charge of small birdshot, it is claimed, will ruin a box of apples. LANE RACES FAIR FEATURE Revival of Sport at County Exhibit Meets Wide Approval. EUGENE, Sept. 30. (Special.)

DECREASE EXPECTED SOON City Milk Commission Fears Effect or Situation Because of Ten dency of Producers to Dis pose of Their Herds. Refusal of the milk distributing plants to adopt the price of 12 cents a quart for milk during October, as recommended by the City Milk Com mission, has thrown the dairy business of the city into turmoil. Some of the dairymen who produce and distribute their own milk. Jumped at the opportunity to Increase prices and announced advanced rates. They now find their prices mounting: consid erably above the prices to be main tained by the distributing plants. These dairymen had counted on the plants' raising:, but the plants refused to raise because the majority of the other dairy men refused or failed to raise. No action will be taken for the pres ent, according: to W. L. Brewster, a member of the Milk , Commission. He says the Commission.' after Investigat ing' every phase of the present serious milk situation, arrived at the conclu sion that 12 cents a quart, with that amount equally divided between the producer and the distributor, is a fair price. If either side does not want to adopt this price. Mr. Brewster says that is something for that eide or both sides to work out. Some Harry to Jump Price. As soon as the Commission's decision was made public soom of the dairy men of the producer-distributor class forthwith accepted the proposition and announced advanced rates. Their prices had been between S3 and S3.25 for ft quart of milk daily for a month and they raised all the way from $3.50 to $3.75. The distributing plants, to have adopted the Commission's recommenda tion, would have had to raise to $3.75 to maintain their present scale of profit for handling- the milk. But the distributors refused to raise and therefore the other dairymen are left in the lurch with prices advanced considerably in some Instances above the prices of the distributing- plants. These dairymen probably will be an nouncing a revision of rates downward within a fewdays. The distributors refused to raise their prices because the other dairy men did not all make increases. Had all made the Jump at the same time everything- would have been lovely I for the dairymen), but all didn't, eo the distributors also didn't. Situation Little Changed. The action of the distributors leaves the situation the same as it always has Jjeen. Producers who sell their milk to the distributing: plants are to get no more for their milk. It was for the salvation of these producers that the Milk Commission made its recom mendation, because these dealers were found to be in an unprofitable posi tion since the prices on feed and other supplies have mounted so high. Dozens of them are dropping out of business and dozens of others are reducing the size of their herds, which means. In all probability, a milk famine in Portland next Winter, according to the views not only of the producers but of the Milk Commission as well. The next move probably will be on the part of the producers, who are organised under the name of the Ore gon Dairy League. Just what step they will take is not known at this time, but a meeting may be held in the near future to consider plans. BEZDEK'S WORK LIKED OK KG ON COACH SIGNS TO LEAD PIRATES IX 1018. Eugene Foetball Mentor on Way to Take l Grid Duties After Doing Wonders With Pittsburg. Hugo Bezdek, who succeeded Jimmy Callahan as manager of the Pittsburg National League baseball club several months ago. haa signed a contract again to manage the club next sea son. Bezdek. who is coach of the Univer sity of Oregon football squad, left Pittsburg Saturday evening for : a gene and will arrive late Weanesday night. When Bezd-ek took hold of the Pi rates they were In a demoralized con dition, but after considerable shifting around of the players Callahan left him and with what youngsters he man aged to purchase and trade, Bezdek's club looked 100 per cent stronger when he left Pittsburg than the day he ar rived to succeed Callahan. The Pirates might be termed the "hard-luck" club of the major leagues. It has lost more games by one run and played more extra-inning games than any other club In the league. That Barney DrejJiiEa, owner of the Pirates, was satisfied with Bezdek's accomplishments during the short time he was with the club is evidenced! by his signing Bezdek to manage the Pi rates in 1918.

Mr. Griffis Discusses Fundamentals of Religion. SELF - DENIAL IMPERATIVE 'We Are All Animals as Long as AVe Live to Get, and Men Only as AVe Learn to Give," Declares Minister. At the First Christian Church yes terday morning Rev. Harold H. Griffis took as his subject "This Grace Also," which he defined as the grace of giving as interpreted by the apostle Paul. "In all ages God has made the giving of property one of the essentials of his religion," said Rev. Mr. Griffis. "In the early church as many as were posses sors of lands and houses sold them and laid the prices of the things sold at the feet of the apostles, while the first scandal of that early church arose in connection with two grafters, Ananias and Sapphira, who undertook to hood wink the Lord by flimflamming the church treasurer. "The grace of giving, according to the New Testament, is an individual grace. Parents are not to give for children, nor husbands for wives, nor the rich for the poor. Let each mem ber understand that however humble his circumstances may be. the contri bution plate Is a means of grace and that he has just as much right to it as the proudest plutocrat that ever strutted down a church aisle. "The grace of giving is also a self denying grace. The individual who never denied himself for the sake of humanity Is not very far along the Christian road. Self-denial Is the very essence of the religion of Jesus. His invitation is 'if any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow after me.' The call of Christ is a call to the he roic. The church is an army snd every member is called upon to suffer hard ship as a good Aoldier in Christ Jesus. There Is no place in our religion for 'flanneled fools.' "The grace of giving is also a cheer ful grace, according to the New Testa ment. The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. Some Christians give only when they can't help themselves. They give their money as reluctantly as they part with their teeth. Such giving has no place In the New Testament pro gramme. "Today covetousness is killing more churches than any other evil practice. Nothing is more disastrous to the spir itual life than is the rheumatism of the heart that is caused by the con traction of the wallet. The fact is, we are all animals as long as we live to get, and men only as we learn to give. Everyone comes into the world with his fists tightly clenched and some folks require an entire lifetime to get their hands open. The shut hand is the symbol of animalism; the open hand Is the emblem of the new man in Christ JeBus." " DR. CLARK. TALKS OX AFRICA Missionary Tells of 3 7 Years Spent In Congo Country. Dr. Joseph Clark, of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Board, who addressed a large audience at the White Temple yesterday afternoon, told of his 37 years' work among the natives of Africa as a missionary. Dr. Clark, ac companied by Mrs. Clark, are spending several days in Portland in the Inter est of the young people's unions of the city. Working under extreme difficulties. Mr. and Mrs. Clark have accomplished a great deal during their 37 years along the Congo, in darkest Africa, It was several years before they mastered the languages, of which there are many, and for a long time they conversed with the natives by signs alone. Mrs. Clark told of her work among the young people in the Congo country and of her difficulty In convincing them that there was something better than their barbarous warfare. She told of slavery as it was practiced along the Congo, and how the women were made to do the heavy work while the men stood over them with clubs, ready to beat them to death if they faltered. Much of this has now been done away with, say Dr. and Mrs. Clark, by the natives takiner interest In the two Bibles which are being read. One of I these is in English, while the other is printed in the Swedish language. It is planned by the young people's unions of Portland to organize into one body in the near future and a meeting for that purpose will be held at the Y. M. C. A., October 9. The association proposes to study conditions In Africa and raise funds for Missionary work there. Indvutral Notes.
