"Davis cup defenders in future will be chosen from the best of the tennis players in the colleges," said FhllNeer, 1921 intercollegiate cham pion, who was here last week long enough to win the Irvington club singles championship. "Except William Tllden, national champion, William Johnston and R. Norris Williams, ex-national champions, the leading players of the country are college men. They hold practically all the sectional championships. "When the 1923 intercollegiate championships start the tournament will include so many great players that it will be second only to the national tournament in number of stars entered. The 1922 tournament had 71 entries,- representing 33 col leges. In 1921 there were 60 en tries, while in no previous year were there more than 30." Neer Modest About Record. Neer was too modest to admit that when he won the intercollegiate sin tries championship in 1921, whll representing Stanford, it was the first time any college west of the Rocky Mountain ever had achieved that honor. This year Neer and Jim Davles, playing under Stanford colors, won the intercollegiate dou hies championship. Luclen Williams of Tale, 1922 In tercollegiate singles champion, and Macey Wheeler, his doubles partner, will be back next year. Arnold Jones, also of Yale, was not eligible this year because he was a freshman. Jones won the 1922 junior singles championship and seems the most promising of all the young players. Bates Has Two More Years. Wallace Bates of the University of California has two more years of college competition. Bates is the 1922 Pacific coast intercollegiate champion and won the California state championship in 1920. defeat ing the Klnsey brothers, Robert and Howard, and Willis Davis, fifth ranking player in the United States, in 1920 and 1921. Phil Bettens and Alec Wilson of the University of California also will be back. Both are steady players and cut quite figure in the California state cham pionships this year. Harvard will be represented by Will Ingraham, 1921 Oregon state champion and member of the Har vard-Yale team that defeated the Cambridge-Oxford team in Europe last nummer. Anderson Goes to Columbia. Frank Anderson, 1921 national in door champion and 18th ranking na tional player, will wear the colors of Columbia university of New York. To win the indoor title 'Anderson had to beat Vincent Richards of Yonkers, N. Y., who won a place on this year's Davis cup team. Unlveisity of Pennsylvania has a star in Harold Taylor, national Junior champion in 1918. Carl Fisher, Bill Tilden's protege, will wear the colors of Philadelphia college. Fisher is a former captain of the University of Pennsylvania team. University of Texas will rest its hopes on Louis N. White, runner-up in the 1922 national Junior cham pionships and conqueror of Bill In graham. White is only 18 years old and, according to Neer, is a coming star. PRISON HAS. GRID TEAM Atlanta Federal Penitentiary Is sues Challenge. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. College athletes are not the only ones whose thoughts are turning to the football field. The Inmates of the Atlanta federal penitentiary, after finishing a successful baseball season, already have taken up the grind that Is necessary to team work on the grid iron, and have sent out a challenge for games with fast local . elevens. "We are in the field this year with a high-class organization of football players consisting of ex-college stars, and we would like to arrange games with some good semi-professional aggregations about the city," says the fall announcement. For any of the 2000 or more men at the prison to "make the team" demands great effort, as the cham pionship baseball nine has been al lowed at times to play on fields. be yond the grim walls surrounding the grounds of the institution, and the football stars are hoping they may get the same treatment. Shortstop Boots Four and Quits. Shortstop Clinger of the Rocky Grove team in the Twilight league fumbled four grounders in succes sion in a recent game and became so disgusted with himself that he quit the game, refusing the plead ings of his manager to resume his position. His team had no substi tutes on the bench, and the manager of the opposing team took dinger's place in order that the game could proceed. Safe or Out BY CHARLES D. WHITE. Q. Runner on first. The batter hits for a home run. Runner on first; miesed second when he was going around and after the. batter had scored umpire called the runner out for not touching second. Was he right? ' A. No. He should not have made that decision unless it was asked for by the side la the field. The rules are very particular about that point as the play is one of perception on the part of the fielders. Q. Runner on third with two out. He starts to steal home and is admittedly over the plate before the pitcher has begun to wind up. The batter follows with a. hit to pitcher and is thrown out, but ths umpire says the run counts. Does it? A It does not because no play had been started by the side in the field when the run counted. If the pitcher had started to wind up before the run ner started home it would have been another matter. Q. Batter hit to outfield but the grass was so high that the umpire couldn't eee the catch which was made and called the batter safe. Was that right? A. Yea. You cannot expect a. decision on a play which the umpire cannot see. Q. Runner on first went to third on what he thought was a safe hit. Umpire announced foul and the runner started cross lots back to first and the side in the field said he was out. Was he? A. No. The diamond can be cut on a foul ball. Q. Was the Cub pitching staff of 1906-10 the greatest ever'" assembled 7 A. A matter of opinion, but I should j say us, . . .. STANFORD HOPES HIGHER WEALTH OF MATERIAL HAND FOR ELEVEN. OX Faith of Students Pinned to Abil ity of Glenn Warner, New Football Coach. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CaL, Sept, 23. (By the Associated Press.) Football hopes a.t Stanford uni versity never were higher than they are for the 1922 season, according to Cardinal athletic cniefs and students who are encouraged by the return of most of last year's stars and who have faith in an entirely new coach ing staff. Many think this will be Stanford's greatest football season. After changing coaches three times in three years, Stanford has at last pinned it hopes for the next five years on Glenn Warner, the famous Pittsburg mentor, and Andrew Kerr, i student of the Warner system, "Tiny" Thornhill, last year's line coach for Centre college, will be an assistant coach, Kerr, who will be head coach un til Warner comes west in 1925, has I been in California since the first of the month and has expressed him self as pleased with prospects here. Kerr hopes to build up an "organiza tion on the gridiron that will be cu mulative in its effectiveness throughout the five-year period. Observers eay there is material on the squad for a 200-pound line and it is possible that the team win eventually line up with the forwards , at that weight. Behind the line i there can be a powerful backfleld averaging about 1.75 pounds. The Stanford eleven win be built around the veterans Captain Dudley De Groot, center; Fred Ludeke, guard; Art Wilcox, halfback; Dick Faville, guard, and Bud Woodward, quarterback. Other letter men who probably will return before school opens are "scotcny uampoeii, Kewp" Sproull, Joe Douglass and Rae Doughty. Among the new men wno seem as sured of a place on the team are Chuck" Johnson, tackle, from Los Angeles: Murray Cuddeback, fresh man star laet year; Floyd Tull, giant fullback who never played in the west before, and Paul Murray, who was out last season with an injured foot. Murray, Tull and Cuddeback are expected to be first-string back field men. Dennis, last year's "frosh" quarter, may give Woodward a bat tle for the post. Skipkey and Dole another member of the famous Stan ford family are out lor tacKie ana either Widaman or Janssen from the freshman eleven will get an end po sition unless new backfield mate rial shows up. - If "Tiny" Hartranft, intercollegiate champion shot-putter and a 10-flat man in the 100-yard run, comes out for football, he ought to cinch a place for himself at either guard or end.' Hartranft was used at guard in the 1920 freshman season. James Arthur, a 1920 freshman guard, who is also very fast in football spikes, will be out for the varsity for the first time. White Give9 'Em AH a Whirl. Anyhow, you have got to hand it to Charley White for trying. The Chicago lightweight will take one more whirl at the grand old cham pionship when he mingles with Benny Leonard in a 12-round no decision bout at Boyle's Thirty Acres on October 6. Tex Rickard, a young man more or less familiar with ring affairs, will promote the show. White has taken a shot at about every lightweight champion since the days of Noah. But he's always failed to whirl through to victory in the big test. Charles will have to knock Leonard out to win the title. Date Sept. 30. Oct. 7. Oct, 14. Oct. 21. Oct. 28. Nov. 4 . Nov. 11.

COACHES OF GRIDIRON TEAMS TRY SHORT CUTS TO VICTORY New Wrinkles of Footfall Now and Then Develop Amusing Situ ations and Sometimes Are Banned as Unsportsmanlike, O DD when you think of it the number of short cuts football coaches have tried to put over a win. Most of them do not work out. But in the course of years enough get by to help the game. Now and then amusing situations result, such as the Warner gag with the Indians in the early days of the forward pass, when Fop had Imita tion foptballs sewed on the jerseys of his players -at about the place where a back carries the ball when running with it. The ruse was to set the defense after the wrong man. But the stunt enjoyed a brief existence. It was deemed unsportsmanlike and ban ned in a Jiffy. Tandem Back Recalled. In the old days of mass play, at tention was given to perfecting the tandem buck. All sorts of devices came into being. Woodruff, once supreme as a grid mentor, hit a corker. It was simple. He had canvas grips sewed on the hips of the nlayers who carried the bail. and handles of the same material sewed on the back of their trousers at the waist line. They did prove effective. When a back was sent directly on a line smash another fellow would get his shoulder be hind him, grab the two side handles and push for his life. And when an interferer was sent in advance of the jrunner on such plays, the latter would seize the handle of the back of the trousers the interferer. In consequence keeps. Tacklere would come, to be sure, but they rarely bowled 'over the intereferer. In consequence they would be dragged along with the runner they clung to for a few precious yarda It was a grand pile up, these old-time rushes through the line. Football never has had moments since to equal the excite ment stirred up among its fans that then arose when a team pounded its way for a few yards at a time over the white chalk lines for a touchdown. Hunches of Old Timers. The modern football player rarely appreciates the hold football had on its followers 20 or' more years ago, for hit; game Is a far different one from that the old timers played. In a contest today speed, quick thrusts and long chances predomi nate, with the individual always the determining factor. Team -work .is at par today, but when mass plays were the rule the cohesion of all parts of the machine was far more necessary. Elevens worked as a unit for the success of the old timer. His plan of play demanded it. ' Sys tems built on the flying wedge and guards' back required eleven men fighting as a unit. Then the in dividual did not advance the ball. He went into the line with most of his team pulling and pushing him Spirit ran high because of all this and so did the casualty list. Be cause of this' team Spirit you can not get an old-timer to admit that the modern game highly scientlfc as It is is to be compared, to the battle they fought. The charging machine was a de velopment of mass play days. It was found that the former scheme of teaching linemen to charge by lining them" up opposite ach other was a bit too strenuous for the daily grind of practice. Thus was invented the charg'ng machine. It has various purposes today, and there are several types. But all are made with one dominating Idea in view teaching the linemen to drive hard and low. Likewise came the tackling dummy. It used to be that tackling was 1 m . . j . . Yale Harvard Princeton Pennsylv'a Columbia Penn State Cornell Dartmouth Syracuse Arrriy Navy Pittsburg Cam.

A good many were knocked out, so a dummy was hit updn as the ideal scheme. At first dummies were weighty and hard and soon proved ineffective. Players fought shy of them. Eventually they were lightened by -filling with sawdust, which was frequently changed to avoid packing. And they were hung over pits filled with the same ma terial. Men were then more easily taught to tackle, as they were not hurt. The old methods wrenched shoulders, broke collar bones and bruised knees and elbows. The dummy has solved all that and the player of today is a better tackier as a result. You see precious few high tackles today. Fellows know when and how to hit a runner. Only one phase of fundamental play falling on the ball has not had a substitute Invented, nor a short cut worked out for teaching perfection In it. It is today the one onerous task to teach, for until a boy knows how to dive to the ground and scoop up a recumbent football, he is continually battering his lights out in his attempts to do so. Falling on the ball is a difficult procedure, a part of practice de spised by all. Little wrinkles crop out in all camps for perfecting play in one or more details. Harvard was first to adopt the plan of sewing- a sort of soft, rough leather strip on the sides and arms of its players' jerseys , to make it easier to carry the ball. Golfers will appreciate what I mean in this description by the handles on their clubs. Smooth leather grips do not always work, especially in wet weather, whereas the soft rough wrappings on handles afford a sure grip at all time's. Fumbling- Spells Disaster. Fumbling- spells disaster In all football. It has been given as much thought as any fundamental. Coaches always seek to obviate it by constant attention to this impor tant detail. One best appreciates how fumbling is looked upon wAen Johnny Helsmann, successfully j coaching the Georgia Tech teams of some years back, constantly cau tioned his charges as follows: 'It were better to have died when an Infant than to fumble." One of the .other wrinkles to avoid fumbling is to dampen the Jerseys and trousers with water and sprinkle a little powdered resin on the wet surfaces. That gives a sticky feeling and creates the idea in the young mind that lie can hold a football. But the main thing to do is to hold the ball correctly at all times. To bring this about some coaches, in the early- part of the season, always appoint one player to call out at the start of each scrim mage, "Hold the ball!" The idea Is to make proper holding of the ball a habit, Years ago, when tackling was not as clean as It Is today, backs used all sorts of stunts to avoid being downed, even to greasing their uni forms so that they had about the same chance to pass obstructing players as the greased pig at county fairs nad in escaping pursuing boys. Moleskin suits also were decidedly In vogue at one time because of their slippery surfaces. And then came the canvas jacket, laced se curely, even having long sleeves, and worn for the one purpose of cover ing the Jersey, which an opponent could hoJ on to. Every little trick under the sun has been tried at one time or another. Few survive the test of time. EASTERN FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR SEASON OF 1922. FINE HORSES ENTERED BEST IN NORTHWEST TO VIE AT STATE FAIR. Hunters, Jumpers and Three Gaited Steeds Sent to Salem for Night Show. Final entries received for the night horse show at Salem' this week, to be held in conjunction with the state fair, indicate that prac tically all of the fine show horses of the Pacific northwest will com pete for" prizes in the show ring. Approximately 100 horses, the ma jority of them hunters and jumpers and three-gaited saddle horses, have already been shipped to Salem. Half of this number constitute the entries of James McCleave of Victoria, B. C, and the horses owned by members of the Portland Hunt club. H. M. Kerron, master of foxhounds of the hunt club, said that he and other members would ship about 25 horses. McCleave will show 20 animals. The fine stable of Mrs. Wayne W. Keyes of Tacoma, Wash., was ex pected to arrive at Salem this morn ing. Mrs. Keyes will have four horses there, two of them being Sir Sidney and Sir Chester, a pair that won many ribbons at the Port land show last November. Another sensational string are the five horses entered by the Misses Roberta and Margaret Ellen Douty of Portland. These, include the three purchased from eastern stables last summer. They are Mountain Missie, a five-gaited horse; Sunbright, a three-gaited animal from Virginia, and Grey Leg, a thoroughbred hunt er of Irish breeding. The horses of Mr. and Mrs. W. U. Sanderson and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley C. E. Smith are also expected to show, and among these animals are two of the best hunters in these parts. Sanderson's Flying Fox and Smith's Daisy Deane have won rib bons wherever shown. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Martin of Gar den Home have entered their two three-gaited horses. Harvest Girl and Coco, and these, with Mrs. C. E. Grelle's Peter Piper, H. M. Kerron's Fire Lad, and Mrs. Robert Schmeer's Lady Jane, will rank high In the Judging of the three-gaited classes. Oswald West and Miss Helen West will show their pair of hunters, Peggy O'Neill and Princess Pat, and H. M. Kerron is also showing two pairs of hunting type. Captain K. B. Wise of the 59th Infantry from Vancouver, Wash., is shipping ten horses from the post and these will show In the ring and also compete in the steeplechase on the track. The horse show will consist of five night performances, beginning Monday and ending Friday night. During this time 45 different classes of saddle, draft and harmless horses will be judged. v FOSTER BACK IN GAME Boston Ball Hero Now Playing in Oklahoma. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. George Foster, hero ut the Boston Amer icans when they won their last world series, is In the limelight again. George quit the game after that memorable series because he could not agree on salary. He was then sold to the New York Yankees and again refused to report for the same reason. He has been out of the game until about a month ago, when he broke in as a shortstop with Henryetta, Okla., in the Western association, and he has been soing like a house on fire. LINE CAUSES NO WORRY Coach Craig Paying Attention to Back Field, Which Has Been Considerably Weakened. With eight letter men in the line up, Benson Polytechnical school ex pects to have a winning eleven in the Portland High School Football league this season. Harry J. Craig, coach, is not worrying much about his line, although his backfield has been considerably weakened by the graduation of Bell and Maloney. Mason, who played quarter in the laBt three games last year, has been elected captain, and will call sig nals again. Sicaggs earned his let ter at half, but as Coach Craig's policy is to have a substitute quar ter always available Skaggs will play, for the time being, at quarter. Pyock and Cover, letter men, alter nated last year at full. Fyock prob ably will be switched to half, as there is no experienced halfback on the squad. Fallis, Taylor and Bottler, tackles, and White, guard, are experienced players with at least one season's football behind them. Bottler will play an end and either Miller or Rose of the second team will play the other wing position. Fuller, the 220-pound guard of the second team. has been showing so well In practice that he should win a regular place If he docs he probably will be the heaviest man in the league. Norvell of the second squad Is the only candidate for center, and he is showing well. Of the new men Ashley may earn a place in the backfield. Carlson and Peck also are trying out at half.- Peck Is basket ball letter man, but this will be his first year on the football squad. Vaughn. Jarvis and Nau, second team tackles, show much Improve ment. The players and their weights are as follows: Norvell (165), center; White (190), Fuller (220), guards; Fallis (180), Taylor (180). Nau (165), Vaughn (185) and Jarvins (190), tackles; Bottler (ISO), Rose (160) and Miller (145), ends; Skaggs (180), Peck (160), Ashley (160) and Carlson (150), halves; Cover (185) and Fyock (170), full backs, and Mason (145), quarter. According to Coach Williams of Commerce, a benefit game between Commerce and an out-of-town high school eleven may be played at the end of the season, provided Com merce makes a good showing, the proceeds to go into a fund to pay the doctor bills of Marcus Schneider man, star tackle, whose leg was broken in a game last year. Al though the injury was not serious, Marcus entirely neglected the- in jured member and complications have set in. He has been In the hospital more than six months, and is not yet able to walk. Harold Quigley, Jefferson coach, is converting the sprinters of the track team he coached last spring into football men. Jefferson has lost mos't of its players through graduation, and the school's only chance of a winner is to develop a team that will make up in speed what it lacks in weight. Quigley said Jefferson's entire backfield probably will not average more than 145 pounds. KIULEFER'S TEAM IilKELY TO RAMBIE IN 1923. Nine Declared to nave One of the Fastest Young Outfields In Baseball Circles. Keep your eyes on Bill Killefer's Cubs. They're going to be full- grown bears next year. For the big he-bear, Killefer, has been feeding them well and sharp ening their claws. Above are placed on exhibition five of these young Cublets and another older bear, who are making the Cubs the most feared team In the National league even now. True, the Cubs have only an outside chance of landing the pennant, but the Windy City team can throw the proverbial monkey wrench In the flag -chasing ma chinery of either the Cardinals or Giants, now insiders in the race. Killefer has one of the best young outfields the game has seen In years. Hack Miller, obtained from Oak land: "Twin Six" Stats, brought on from Los 'Angeles, and Barney Frl berg, hooked from Kansas City, are already making bids for honors in their respective gardens. They may lack finesse and may pull bobbles once in a while. But they make up for those shortcomings with their pep, spirit and slugging. In the infield. Charley Hollocher, young in years, although now ranked as a veteran in the line-up, is having the. most brilliant year of his career. His sparkling fielding is the feature of every game and he is hitting at a fast gait. At first Ray Grimes, brother of the famous Burleigh Grimes, is fielding wonder fully and giving every indication sons, but apparently is just nuunts his real stride. With the pitching prospects KU lefer has lined up and the other moves that will be made to strengthen the weak spot in the team next season all considered, the Cubs today look ready to make a bid for the 1923 pennant. We hereby nominate them. TACKLING HELD NEGLECTED One Fundamental Football Play to Receive More Attention. NEW YORK, Sept. I J. Tackling, one of the most Important funda mentals in football, which has been sadly neglected in recent years by some coaches of larger university and college elevens, will come In for much attention this fall during the preliminary practice periods. There are many coaches who lay more stress on the development of ex cellent tackling and blocking teams than on the perfection of a working attack. To the average football fan noth ing is more discouraging than to see a half-hearted tackle or one around the neck or by the arm. The player who makes a tackle which brings an opponent to the ground with a thud is the type of warrior every coach should want on his eleven. RAY CHIP! I! YEARS MILEK EQUALS RECORD MADE BY. GEORGE, ORTON. During: Reign as Title-nolder Jole Twice Has Broken Amateur Mark for Distance. When Jole Ray of the Illlnol Athletlo club won the United States one-mile running title at Newark, N. J., a few days ago he set a. rec ord of being eight straight years a track champion, equaling tha which George Orton made from 1882 to 1899 inclusive. Never in the history of mile run nlng, however, has Ray's perform ance been equaled. Orton won th mile title from 1892 to 1898 In elusive, or five straight rears, hu Ray now has a clean sweep of th event for six straight years, from 1917 to 1922 Inclusive. In 1915 Ray first won the mile, the next yea he ran In the five-mile event an won it and since then has been un beatable in the mile, giving him consecutive run of eight years champion. Orton gained his elgh years an champion with five straigh years as the mile title-holder an from 1897 to 1899 inclusive he wo the two-mile title. The nearest approach to these two men's performances In straigh victorious years on the track is that of the famous Lon Myers who from 1879 to 1884 was unbeatable ove the quarter-mile for a auccesslv run of six titles. There is only on athlete in either track or field events who has shown a longe string of consecutive wins and that Is the late J. S. Mitchell with string or rune straight years a champion. From 1889 until 189 without a break be won the hamme title and in 1897 won the '56-pound weight. joie nay- performance Is a re markable piece of work In these days of specialists and stiff comDe tition. Longevity of competitive life is conceded to big weight men who improve with age, but track event as a general rule "burn a man out' in quick order. During his relirn as champion Ray twice has broken the American Athletic Union record for the mile, though he has never been quite able to equal or break the world mark of 4:12 3-5 held bv Hor. mn inupr. When Ray first appeared as mller, the record was held (cham- pionsnip record) by the famous Abe! Kivlat at 4:18 S-6. In 1917. his third year as mile champion, Ray went after the record and succeeded in taking a fifth of a second off it and tnen in im set the present chain- pionsnip standard of 4:14 2-. An other notable fact in connection with Ray's performance) Is that In inc seven years he has won the mile title, ne has run 4:20 or better six times. Ray Is the only man in the worm wno snows such remarkable consistency in the mile title race. LEBANON ELEVEN AT WOKK Seven of Last Year's Men Pro vide Nucleus for New Team. LEBANON, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Stanley R. Summers, athletlo director of the Lebanon Hign school, who was one of the mainstays on the backfield on the 1921 fighting Oregon Aggies, is fast whipping his football team into a good machine. He has seven of the last year s men around which to build up his team. Whilo Snider, Bilyeu, Bennnt and Kuhn, the stars of last year, are throura school, he has some prom lsing material. Busey, Krleg. Bo gart, Randle, C. Kuhn. Peasley and Fee are the old first-team men back this year. Reynolds, Duncan, Haux well, Kelleck. Mlchels, and IjiLond are promising new men. At pres ent the line-up for the first game, to be played October 7, will be about as follows: Right end. Randle; right tackle, Reynolds; right guard, Haux- well; center, Mlchels; left guard Fee; left tackle, Duncan; left end, La Fond; quarter, C. Kuhn; right half, Busey; left half, Krleg; full, Bogart and Peasley. CENTER HAS 2 6 VETERANS School Which Beat Harvard Grid Men Has Good Outlook. With 26 veterans of the squad that last year took Harvard into camp Center college football of ficials are looking forward to an other great team this year. The schedule calls for ten games, with Virginia, Polytechnic, Harvard, Clemson, Auburn, Kentucky and Washington and Lee being included. "Bo" McMillan, the great quarter back of the last four years, will not be with the Colonels. Neither will Tom Moran. But "Red" Roberts will be present to guide the des tinies of the Colonels. Backers of the team are counting on young Herb Covington filling the hole left by the graduation of McMillan to a large extent. Some claim that Covington, while perhaps lacking the almost uncanny football Instinct of the mighty "Bo," will be his equal otherwise. One Team, All .300 Hitter. Recent Texas league averages show that the Wichita Falls club could put on the field an entire team, including pitcher and utility man. which would hit above .300, accord ing to an exchange. Even in these days of heavy hitting It Is doubtful if any other club could do that. , DEMAND FOR SEATS BIG Little Enthusiasm Shown Orer Prospect of Roth New York" Entering Illg Classic. BT GEORGE CHAD WICK. (Coprriiht. 1S22. br Ths OrctmU4L) NEW YORK. Sept. 23. (Special.) Arrangements for the world's series, so far as New York Is con cerned, will be much the same as they were In 1(21. There can be no addition to the seating capacity of the Polo grounds without Inter fering with the field. There will be no attempt to make any.

There are a few more scat tering seats at the present llm.i than there were In 1921. but on th whole the general scheme of thins Is the same. The man who dsvlsnt these arrangements Is no longer with the club but bis methods have been standard for years. Demand for Seats IImvt, The demand for seats will not b abated from other years becausn there has always been a greater call than capacity and always will b The mere spectacle alons woui'l command a sufficient atronsg from the transients whether Nr York turned out or not. If th.i seats were not put nut by applica tion and were handed out to th speculators the latter would tsk.. thousands of them In a block and figure on getting rid of all of them at the hotels. No great enthusiasm exlts even In New York over' the presumable victory f both New Tork nines. The fans seem Inclined to take It as they did in 1921, without show of feeling. Crowds ffcy osj TCnlkualsam. When the (Hants finally won th 1921 serl'!H 90 per cent of the crowd filed out of the field without as much as a look at the victorious team. They had witnessed the show and were r-ady to go home. In th 19V5 series, when the (iiants won their first world series, tha crowd surrounded the clubhouse and re mained there for nearly sn hour cheering for the players and de manding to see them. That kind of enthusiasm no longer exists In the metropolis. More spirit Is displayed over the presumable winning of the Yankees than there Is over the hollow vlrtory of the Giants. The impression holds ground deeply In New York that the National league Is not mm strong hi Its rival this year, and that th victory of the Giants over a soargy eastern representation and a bsuly managed western representation doesn't stand for much. AOendaBC Nut Affected. This will not affect tha attend ance In the least. The city la too big for the promoters of the club to worry about anything of that nature. Last year on the first day of ths series the upper part of the stadium did not beln to be filled and on the last day it was not chock-a-block. On the first day It s probable that the attendance simmered off because the game wa overplayed, from a sensational stand point. There were a lot of hot air yarns about the ticket buyers In line all night and the fans down town de cided they wouldn't go up and tske a chance. As a matter or fact, be fore the game be.ft.in there wer" 6000 empty ati and a lot of ball players shedding tears that so much spare- should have gone to wsste. They get In on the first four game and'they scan the stands to see thi size of the crowd with eyes that ars hungrier than those of the basse. Hoses Always Sold Out. Boxes to the games hold four and usually are aold Intact. In fart It is out of the question grnnrsllv to get a box. Friends of the owners nd city politicians have to h considered. Some boxes are occupied by those who seldom or never i game during the regular season. but who wish to be In the front row of the world series for the same reason that they like to h" in the front row on a first night at the follies. Applications for seats are U"usllv restricted to two, which must b bought for all of the scries, and their money must be In the shapi of a certified check, postofflce or1-r or express ordnr. The certlflrl checks get the preferencs because they ran be better Identified. If the spectators want at thev usually send their families over tn the New Ji-rsey side of the river and have them buy postal order and send for tickets with fictitious names attached. Yankees fa lie KsTsrlfes. If the two New York Hubs plsv for the world title the Yanks will KO Into the fight favorites In tha betting. It is ths first time that there has been that sentiment In evidence In New j ork. Last year here were many who thuiKht thn Yanks had a rhunre to win, hut that was as far as they went and they would not bet anything better tlutn even money. This year It Is dif ferent. One man In the Hotel AM"r ut up ItOOO to S1500 that th" Yanks would defeat the Clanta an ! hat It would not be necessary t play seven games. That Is fcoln,; trong. The first game, no matter who plays for the pennant, will tak place on the Tolo ground October. TEXAS CASH IS 'ABA HON I :i Next Spring Indian Will Trnlrt ut Town In Florida. CHICAGO.
